'Locanda Ravello' remains wonderful - we celebrated my wife's birthday there, over this past weekend. This a favorite of ours - it is quaint, charming, & rather enjoyable. The service & food are excellent (my wife enjoyed her favorite dish, 'Carbonara' with Panchetta & Romano - i had my favorite dish, 'Ravioli Di Aragosta[' [Lobster Stuffed Ravioli with Tiger Prawns on top , in a Creamy Sauce]). The price points are reasonable & there is free (parking lot) parking a block away. Rusdxs G.J Wortman. p.s. the Wine List is very-very good & my wife was given a complimentary Chocolate Gelato Dish with a candle for desert.
Browsing Yelp with a pasta craving... Landed on Locanda Ravello to answer it. Not bad! Food is lovely, service is A+++. My partner and I walked in on a Sunday evening. With the main dining area full, only outdoor (heated) or bar seating were available. We chose the bar. TBH the bar needs heating-- with the door open, there was a constant draft that naturally rolled in with the winter chill. Very uncomfortable. Our tiny high tops were awkwardly small, which felt crowded with the large plate size-- and weren't equipped with bag hooks either. Discomfort aside, all staff were exceptionally accommodating and professional. ARTICHOKE BEIGNETS: !!!! Delicious! Lightly crispy with a lovely, creamy filling. Great to whet your appetite. FRITTO MISTO: Huge portions... And our busser thoughtfully suggested keeping our beignet sauce for dipping lol. I'm not a huge fan of calamari, but my bf loved this. PIZZA CACIO E PEPE: D+ :-/ Ridiculously salty... Not even savory, just straight up SALT. Both my bf and I each took a bite and just... Politely boxed it. Not for me. STROZZAPRETI: Pizza sins were forgiven with the pasta. This was perfect IMO. Al dente pasta, sweet, fresh peas, hearty sausage-- no notes. And again, large portions. The leftovers I had the next day were a treat. Interested in seeing how their 5 other sister locations compare.
this review is specifically for our experience when we booked their party space for my birthday! it's so nice inside that we didn't even really need to decorate, the staff is super friendly, professional, and bring that fun, Italian vibe. We had a big group and opted for the prix fixe menu and everyone loved it! They were so accommodating working with us to configure the room for dinner, live music, and then moving the tables out of the way for dancing after dinner. The space could accommodate 50 people and we had about 35, and that felt really comfortable. some food highlights: antipasto platter fried calamari & artichokes salmon (got this gluten-free) pizza lasagna eggplant parm pasta with mushrooms in the prix fixe menu each guest picked their entree and dessert. appetizers were picked ahead of time. the tiramisu...my fav! they have a great wine selection and you can get order cocktails & mocktails served up from the bar. We love Enzo & his staff. Highly recommend Locanda Ravello for a special occasion!! Mangia! (it was my bday and i wasn't taking many food pics. trust me, it all looked and tasted delicious!)
We really enjoyed our night here on New Year's Eve! The service was quick and the ambiance of the place truly is beautiful. We have driven by many times but haven't had an opportunity to drop by. When we arrived we were seated quickly and we loved that they had a belly dancer going through the inside of the place. I'm assuming this was just a special event thing since it was new years. We have actually tried several of their other similar locations around the Bay Area and this was by far one of my favorites. The food is always good hearty. Cocktails are a 10/10 and staff are always really friendly and helpful. Can't wait to be back!
Called to make a quick reservation and the host was so nice. The restaurant is small but the vibe/ atmosphere and ambience was great. The server was nice, helpful and friendly. They make the pizza in front of us. Only complaint is the heater blasting so high and we were baking in there! Food was great and so was the dessert and drinks. Totally recommend!
We came for a weeknight dinner with a reservation as a group of 4 and were seated inside their second building. This restaurant is so cute and I already want to come back during the day to sit on their patio. Neon lights combined with grandma's porch type of aesthetic. I LOVED the white truffle gnocchi and would definitely get it again- the best flavor and good gnocchi texture. The artichoke beignets were also great- imagine arancini with artichoke. But I would totally pass on the vodka pastas and burrata appetizer...the vodka sauce did not taste right and the burrata was too solid. Overall, there does seem to be some winners here on the menu and would recommend this restaurant- but order wisely!
I came here with a couple of friends for my birthday dinner. Really friendly staff that made our experience here very nice. The food was amazing, in my opinion, and the portions were surprisingly bigger than I anticipated and very filling. Drinks were really good as well. Would recommend coming here for a girls night out.
I've always passed by this restaurant but never got around to trying it until last weekend. Such a cute restaurant with cute vibes. Staff was so sweet from the start. I had to call ahead of time for my friend who has a gluten free allergy and we found out they were able to accommodate - WIN! Food was so good, I didn't even get pictures first haha. Would definitely come back to try their pizzas!
