   Incredibly complete menu! Can't wait to try more. They are working diligently to correct things they are learning as they are recently opened. (1) dimmable lighting on the way(2) waiting til guests are finished or almost finished to prepare second course, instead of serving too soon (3) level of cinnamon in Sangria being adjusted(4) level of salt adjustment in some dishes. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable. The pasta is made there and done very well. After growing pains of newness are adapted to, this restaurant should be on everyone's "must visit and enjoy" list.

   This place was perfect for our friend’s birthday brunch. The place is beautiful inside. You are welcomed with a smile and seated right away. Our server did a good job of giving us some key recommendations which made it easier to choose( everything sounded delicious). The crowd favorite were the lemon ricotta pancakes 10/10. They had perfectly crispy edges with a delicate interior. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed. Also, they had a live musician whose voice added to the already amazing ambience.

   New restaurant. We enjoyed it but a few dishes need refining. Overall a good place to eat and I’m sure we will come back.

   Ravello was both good and could do better… It has been open less than a month and needs to iron out a few issues. My husband’s Minestrone soup was so salty that, personally, I would have sent it back. I had the roasted artichoke as an appetizer, which was very good. The veal chop was excellent, and my Branzino was cooked to perfection, absolutely delicious, but came out without the lemon curd sauce. One of the managers apologized and comped us the desserts for that, which I really appreciated, but the sauce remained missing. My husband had the Tiramisu for dessert, and it was okay. I had the Panna Cotta, which was not good. It had far too much gelatin in it, which made it almost rock hard, and the 3 flavors (mint, chocolate? and vanilla? ) didn’t work together. The mint dominated everything else, so why have 3 flavors? They have done a great job on the interior decoration, it’s chic and classy, but it would be nice if they dimmed the lights somewhat when it gets dark outside, and the windows need some sort of blinds to hide the car park. Service was excellent, thank you so much, Jacob! But the host at the entrance needs to get a little better. We did not feel very welcome. There was also a jazz band with a lovely singer - we loved that.

   We were excited to try this close to home restaurant. The service was excellent. The ambiance could use improvement. It’s very bright and seems a bit crowded; I feel that they tried to squeeze too much in by making the bar a separate area. There was a singer and once she started, although we were sitting next to each other, my husband and I could not hear one another speak. I think the noise seems especially loud because of the small space. We were not impressed with the food. I had the monkfish and my husband had the rigatoni. The sides served with the fish were very salty. I ordered tiramisu to go and was disappointed. It was very dry and tasted like burnt regular coffee rather than espresso. Overall it just feels like they’re trying too hard to be a fine dining establishment. I think it would be better received if it was a warmer environment with more classic Italian dishes.

   I live close, looked forward to trying this place. Food was outstanding and service as well. The place was too small for I believe the place to be truly functional as a place I will frequent. The establishment had a musician playing keyboard and singing which is not what I prefer in such a small place but she was good. Staff was excellent and service was great. It is not a place for me as a frequent spot, but perhaps a younger crowd will enjoy. Bar was large and the bar crowd sort of encroaches on the dinner tables on the bar side of the restaurant. Try it out!
