This is a great restaurant to eat at if you have celiac disease. They took great care of my allergy and the food was delicious while serving large portions.
Excellent food and service. We had a party of 12 and everyone loved the food. I had the halibut special served over white wine and grape tomato risotto with crab mango salsa. Delicious
Good Food. No complaints. We definitely got what we paid for. Great Service. Not one complaint. Definitely going back!
Ravello by Toscano makes short work of other contemporary eateries that believe hype, overweening atmosphere, microscopic portions and a few influencer sightings are more consequential than a supernaturally inventive kitchen. This rustic strip mall gem combines stellar service and a generous menu of outstanding Italian classics that had this first time guest whispering a phrase I am loath to use... namely, "best ever" (at least to me.) A simple classic like linguine and clam sauce left me gasping for superlatives as the light broth danced across my pleasure center. Just stunning. The place is extremely intimate so I'm probably screwing myself out of a future reservation but what the hell, I'll live dangerously. Five superlative stars.
Amazing find in a small strip mall! Small and comfortable Italian restaurant. Great service and even greater food! Gnocchi with the chicken parm was so good. We couldn't decide which dish we liked best but they were all delicious. The portion sizes were generous. Comes with freshly toasted warm bread, perfect for soaking up all the delicious sauces. Will definitely be back!
Excellent dinner with good friends. Portions are more than ample. My wife and I shared the Caeser salad. I had the chicken and sausage, she had salmon. We are having the leftovers for dinner tonight! Everything was wonderful. Food, service, ambiance and value!
Blown away! My girlfriend dined here at Ravello By Toscano a few months ago and raved about everything - especially the food. While I whole heartedly trust her opinion on food since we have such similar tastes, I did think that she may have been over-hyping it a bit. Wow, was I wrong! Expectations were exceeded and then some. Ravello is located in a strip mall and is easy to spot by a beautiful illuminated sign. Upon walking in we were seated immediately. It felt nice and cozy inside. The lights were a little dimmed and it wasn't too noisy. Another plus is that it is BYOB! Each employee we dealt with was professional and respectful, and our server was tremendous. Between the 3 of us we had some troubles deciding what we were going to order, yet our server had the utmost patience and offered great recommendations. The complementary sourdough bread that was brought out right after we were seated was soft and warm with a perfectly toasted crust and the flavor, between the olive oil, spices, and cheese, made for some of the best bread I've ever had. This also became a common theme throughout the night with many of the dishes we ordered. We split every plate three ways which I enjoy doing especially at restaurants I've never been before. Our appetizers consisted of Tuna Nachos and Duck Macaroni & Cheese, both I believe were specials. The tuna used for the nachos was fresh, sushi grade ahi tuna over house made fried wonton chips that offered incredible crunch. The Mac & Cheese was the creamiest, most comfort-food-esque Mac and Cheese I've ever had. It was topped with a fried tomato that added great texture and crunch. For our entrees we ordered spaghetti (all of their pastas are house made btw) with prosciutto and orange zest. Prime NY Strip topped with Lobster, and Seared Scallops topped with Artichokes. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly Al Dente and a creamy sauce with subtle orange flavor which cut the creaminess and richness of the sauce nicely. I really enjoyed the temperature to which the steak was cooked and the lobster made for an indulgence I don't often experience. The Scallops were seared with a very, very nice crust and were as tender as you could have hoped. Of course after all the food we ordered we were full and had plenty of leftovers, but could not say no to their Brownie Sundae with Cannoli Cream and Salted Caramel Ice Cream. Two brownies split by layers of cannoli cream was unique to me and delicious. There was not one dish we ordered that I wouldn't confidently recommend to anyone trying Ravello. The food was phenomenal, as was our entire experience. While we were eating I started going through my current list of my favorite food items from all of the restaurants I've ever been to. Bread, now Ravello. Tuna Nachos, now Ravello. Mac & Cheese, now Ravello. Scallops, now Ravello. Spaghetti, you guessed it, Ravello. The prices are also more than reasonable for the portion size and quality of the food you receive, and the presentation of each plate was beaut If my drive was not 45 minutes I would be a regular here. I'm still blown away by our experience.
This was our first visit to Ravello (but not our last, for sure). After hearing about the restaurant from friends we decided to give it a try with our "Mini-Yelp Group" (Something forced upon us as Yelp has decided to eliminate any meaningful activity in Central or South Jersey). First, I must comment on the garlic bread delivered to the table before we even saw the menu. This bread - toasted with cheese and spices, accompanied by a few huge olives - was the best bread I have had in quite some time. I could take two orders with a side of sauce and would be happy! Appetizers consisted of Octopus (quite tasty but could have been a little crisper), Traditional Caesar Salad and Tuna Tacos. Terrific start to our meals. Entrees consisted of Veal Milanese (almost looked like another salad), two Pork Chop Specials with Sweet Potato Tater Tots!, a Scallop Special, Chicken with Shrimp and Chicken and Linguini with Clams. Everyone enjoyed their entrees and they came out hot and in a timely manner. The Scallops were very good but I should have asked the price when ordering. Desserts, because we really needed dessert! We shared a decadent Chocolate Brownie with ice cream, Zabaglione and Tres Leches. Terrific! Ravello is BYOB and our server, Jason, was friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth a return trip.
