    Excellent meal mid-afternoon. The Braised short rib ravioli was outstanding as well as the other pasta dishes. The mocktails were delicious. Wine suggestion was lovely. The waiter was attentive. I especially loved the "rock candy" sugar for the latte at the end of the meal.

    It was our first visit to Ravello’s and it won’t be our last. We were greeted warmly and service was attentive. The menu is extensive and varied. The homemade pasta is amazing It was a lovely dinner in a small yet very efficient spot. Very pleased with Ravello’s.

    Really nice dinner! Went in on the early side (5:15), sat right away. The service was incredibly efficient. We did not feel rushed and also did not feel ignored. Perfect for what we were looking for! Will be back to try a seat at the bar for a pizza!

    Food is excellent and staff are always so kind and accommodating ! I wish it was a little less noisy but it just means people are enjoying themselves. The chef ( whom I’ve never met) must run a great kitchen because everything is always cooked to perfection and his pasta is wonderful! Truly, everything is delicious! I’m working my way thru the menu 😂
