Dr. Riccobene was born in New Jersey. His parents were Italian immigrants. He comes from a very close knit family that impressed on him the value of time spent together.

Dr. Riccobene and his wife Angela are the proud parents of triplets, Faith, Michael and Stefano, born October of 2003 and Joseph, born in February of 2006.

After graduating from New York University and completing two years of residency at UNC Chapel Hill, Dr. Riccobene moved to Selma for its small town feel. He has been practicing dentistry there since 1998.

In December of 2004, Dr. Riccobene opened his second practice in Garner at 5638 Highway 42, Suite 214 in the Ashley Turner Plaza.
