    Ravello is one of our favorite restaurants - a perfect neighborhood hangout! We usually go for dinner but today I went for lunch. Far quieter and the food was equally delicious! My friend didn't make it, so I had a nice conversation with my server, Eric. Thanks for making it a great experience!

    We had a great meal on a very cold evening outside but warm night inside at Moeca. Food was tasty and presentation was appealing. Emily did an excellent job guiding our choices and providing clear answers to our questions. We felt well taken care of throughout our dining experience.

    Wonderful night! Service was excellent and the food was fantastic! The prix fixe menu was excellent -- and an incredible value! Best arrabbiata penne ever! The spaghetti with tuna was also phenomenal! We both thought the bombolini were fantastic! The extra care we got about a food allergy was very much appreciated!

    made the reservation for a birthday celebration on the recommendation of the honorary On a Sunday evening it was very busy and we had reservations. We were greeted quickly both by host and server. Ths  downsides were.:  mid December by the windows seem like there was no heat on in the place. Many tables around us. People have their coats on. It was cool seating; replaced our order and on two occasions the waitress came back to tell us they were out of three of our meals and two of our sides. We plunged back in ordered new things and were served one of our sides before any other meal came by like 15 to 20 minutes.. when we did receive food, which wasn’t too long of a wait it was pretty good. The decor and atmosphere of the place were great. We did indicate it was a birthday, but there wasn’t any kind of special effort on the restaurants part.
