For a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary Ragus is highly recommended. Unfortunately, they do not offer their pizza on the weekends which is a problem if you have children with you. Their pasta dishes and desserts are wonderful.

Wonderful experience. food was fantastic, the waitstaff was great. Nice ambiance in an old house, unusual for this area. If I had one suggestion it would be that the menu is somewhat limited. More specials including fish would be great.

Great service from seating to conclusion. Veal parmigiana was cooked to perfection and the chef’s special of pasta, sausage, white truffle mushrooms in a Alfredo sauce was delicious.

Rather disappointing for the price. My meal was not tasty. In fact I ate half of it. Chicken was very tough to cut. Pasta was not cooked enough. Sauce was excellent.

I would like to see this restaurant make it but it has a lot of growing to do. The two brothers that own it supposedly hail from a restaurant they owned in Rome but the food served did not jive as restaurant quality. Service was friendly and nice enough and I will end this review at that.

After hearing rave reviews from a friend, we had our first experience dining at Ragu Cocina Italiana last Sunday. We loved the historic building and comfortable and attractive interior. The host and server were both welcoming. The menu is limited but has plenty of variety. Our party of 4 tried the Fettuccine Alfredo, Fettuccine Ragu Bolognese, and the Scaloppine ai funghi porcini. Everyone commented on the superb quality of the pasta and enjoyed their choice. Wonderful that Palmetto has another quality restaurant.

Wow, where do I begin. This place deserves no stars. There is no chef, only someone in the kitchen who doesn’t know how to cook. I wouldn’t trust them to make a grilled cheese. The wine list doesn’t have brands, and the wines sit in the sun with pushed up corks. The Panzanella was $13 for 4 bite size crostini? Canned olives and some diced tomato, not even Basil? Oof. The ragu was very reminiscent of chef Boyardee, flavorless and no trace of onion or carrot, the meat was poor quality. Veal was 3 tiny slivers, dry, overcooked, and Almost boiled looking. The sauce was milk and flour. That’s it, no flavor no seasoning. Not even a proper bechamel. Highlight was the bread and butter, and the service was very kind. I still tipped 20% and paid for everything. I consider it to be worth the $70 to never have to go back.

The time to be waited on and then continued service was poor. Never asked for more water or another drink. Took a long time to take order. By the time we were asked about dessert it was too late so paid check. Food was okay.

Love this restaurant!! The host and servers and are so delightful. The quaint charming atmosphere is very relaxing and pretty. The wine selections are good. Excellent entrees with great portion sizes. I enjoyed a delicious Gnocchi dish which was heavenly! My husband loved his meal as well as our guest. We truly had a wonderful meal, fun talking to the servers (Italian speaking) in a quaint, quiet atmosphere in Palmetto. Great to have a nice restaurant like Ragu nearby.
