I ate ate Ricci's tapas & cicchetti (sister resturant) and had an absolutely amazing lunch. The octopus, was in the top 1% of all the octopus dishes i have had all over the world. The broccoli and chicken plates were incredible as well. I couldn't find them on yelp but had to say something. They are located at Dean Clough Mill in Halifax.

Simply put, the best place to eat in Halifax. Serving a mixture of modern european favourites (Italian/Spanish antipasto, lots of seafood, pastas, steaks, good vegetarian options) there is something for everyone here. The drinks selection is fantastic; a good variety of wines, beers and spirits. The specials are frequently changed so regular patrons always have something new to try. The service is excellent, with what I like to call 'natural waitresses'; attentive and professional without being overbearing. They manage to time everything just right; your food arrives in a timely manner
