Ravello is a hidden gem in the city, serving up some of the most delicious pasta I've ever had. I've been there twice now, and I'm already planning my next visit. The pasta is made fresh to order, and the sauces are rich and flavorful. On my first visit, I tried the Spaghetti Carbonara. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sauce was creamy and delicious, with a hint of smokiness from the bacon. On my second visit, I tried the Shrimp Fra Diavolo and it was amazing. In addition to the pasta, the restaurant also has a great selection of appetizers and desserts. I highly recommend the Burrata Caprese appetizer, which features fresh burrata cheese, tomatoes, and basil. For dessert, the Tiramisu is a must-try. It's made with light and fluffy ladyfingers soaked in espresso and layered with a creamy mascarpone filling. The service at Ravello is also excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they make sure that you have everything you need to enjoy your meal. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Italian dining experience. The food is excellent, the service is top-notch, and the prices are reasonable.

If you always yearn for a good neighborhood Italian restaurant, this is the one you have imagined. Especially if you live in Minneapolis. Small dining room, intimate bar and incredibly good Italian food. I had the butternut squash soup which was smooth and delicious. A big portion too. Then I had pasta and clams in a wine and butter sauce. The clams were fresh and tasty, the sauce was perfect with a hint of spice. Can’t wait to come back and try something else. Reasonably priced as well. With wine my dinner came to 53.

Perfect neighborhood Italian joint. It’s small so make sure you make a reservation. Friendly and attentive service with some outdoor seating as well. Enjoy!

Absolutely recommend! Everything is sourced from local markets so there are some seasonal items on the menu, with all dishes made in house. I highly recommend the burrata pizza, the Popeye pizza, and the vodka pasta. The bolognese was also good. The pizza was the highlight for me! I will be going back to try the soft-shell crab piccata and the other pizzas!

Great spot for Italian, be sure to make a reservation as the inside is a little small and can fill up quickly. Staff was attentive and pleasant. The menu has enough options while not over whelming you, you'll definitely see something that catches your eye. We live in the area so we walked over, but there's street parking up and down the road, but you should be prepared to walk a little bit.

Highly recommended restaurant! The food was sooo delicious and the different options on the menu make the choice harder because everything looked good. The salad was great, and the garlic bread was mouthwatering, I ordered it twice. The scallop Scampi I had was very very delicious and satisfying. Drinks and cocktails were all great, and the tiramisu is a must at the end. The service was very friendly and welcoming. Highly highly recommended and definitely going back!
