    My son and his fiancee recommended Ravello's. They visit this restaurant often for special celebrations. My husband and I dined there this weekend and had a fabulous experience. The food was excellent as well as the service. Be sure to make a reservation!

    Food was delicious. Service was excellent. All the staff was super friendly. Very small place so we did have to wait for our table even though we made a reservation. But they were so nice about it, brought us a limoncello as we sat down. And even brought us some cannolis to end our meal. Highly recommend 👍🏼

    We had delicious food (arancini and chicken saltimboca were standouts) while sitting at the bar on a snowy evening. The atmosphere was cozy and lively, with cheerful service. Looking forward to going back soon.

    Exactly what I was looking for on a cold winter night. Small warm atmosphere with a nice glass of wine and good pasta dish.
