We ate at Ravello Ristorante last night while visiting family in downtown Montgomery, and it ended up being one of the best meals we’ve had in Alabama. It was also our first date night away from our kids, which made the experience even more special. The restaurant is stunning, set inside a 98-year-old former bank with so much character. The textures, décor, and the giant mirror in the center of the room make it feel both elegant and inviting. We sat at the bar and ordered a few appetizers and drinks, which was perfect for a relaxed date night. Our bartender, Zach, was fantastic…knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. Truly the kind of bartender you hope for on a date night. The head chef, Leo, personally delivered our food, welcomed us, and shared a bit about himself and the restaurant’s background, which was such a thoughtful touch. The GM and entire staff were equally kind and welcoming. The partially open kitchen added to the experience…you can really see the care and teamwork happening behind the scenes. The food was incredible. We had the artichoke hearts with lemon aioli (our favorite), pimento cheese arancini with a spicy tomato jam, and grilled shrimp that were cooked perfectly with butternut squash purée, pepitas, and goat cheese and packed with flavor. Every bite was thoughtful and well-executed. Between the atmosphere, service, and outstanding food, Ravello Ristorante truly stood out. We’re so glad we chose it for our night out and would absolutely return to try the rest of the menu!!

An absolutely beautiful and elegant space with high ceilings and chandeliers and a sophistication that went beyond what I was expecting. I had the hearth grilled octopus entree and it was delicious and well-prepared (preparation can be tricky with octopus). It was a generous portion and all the components of the dish came together nicely. My only complaint is that the octopus was not as hot as I would have liked, more like “warm”. But, still, even with that, a wonderful dish and a really nice dining experience in a great environment in downtown Montgomery.

What a great restaurant! The bar tender and chef were equally talented and attentive. The blood orange cocktail was delicious. Probably the best focaccia bread I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and order the Brussels sprouts!!

Beautiful experience for the first time in AL. Food is delicious and perfectly presented in a professional manner. Ordered Crudo, Olong Tea, Crispy Potatoes, Old Fashion drink, & Chocolate Mousse Cake. Service was top notch and they take good care for the food and customers. Feel so welcome here and kids friendly too. Will come here next time. Thank you.

Holy cow. If this place was in NYNY there would be a 12 month wait to get in. One of the best meals I've had in my life and I travel for work. Place is gorgeous, perfect for a date night and yet not that expensive honestly. Sat at the bar because the wait was too long for a table. To the moon!

There were many signs that this restaraunt is struggling. The drinks are 15 each, as are desserts, both of which are priced higher than other nearby places. The silverware is mismatched. The dessert menu had to be written out by hand by the server. No books for the check- just a plain receipt as if you were at a diner. None of this screams the "fine dining" that the prices imply. The real kicker was the food- mid at best. The (pictured) pasta came with broken sauce and parts had so much salt that the dish was inedible.

We made reservations for a party of six and were seated timely. The ambiance of this restaurant is minimalistic and elegant. Noise level was not too loud. The food was on the salty side of typical southern cuisine. The hand made pasta was not really extraordinary as advertised. The seafood was frozen ingredient, not fresh catch quality. The food quality and taste were average. Service was sufficient. The waiter was polite and introduced the history of the restaurant, took order, and served the foods. Overall, given the high price and average food quality, the ambiance was the only enjoyment value.

What an amazing experience. From the hostess to the bartender to the waiter and maître d’, the staff were so friendly and helpful. We arrived early so we grabbed a seat at the bar and had cocktails. The bartender was friendly while still filling other orders. Great multitasker! The waiter was so kind and attentive. The maître d’ helped us a select a wine and it was a perfect fit. It’s always a joy to discuss wine and food pairings with someone that has a knowledge and passion. The food was true Italian with the occasional southern twist and was incredible. The short rib ravioli wonderful. I do wish their pasta was a bit thinner but that’s only if I’m going to get extra picky.

The hostess was super friendly and welcoming, which set a great tone right away. I was seated upstairs in the back--kind of tucked away, not sure if that was intentional, but it made for a cozy spot. My waiter, Alejandro, was fantastic. Even though he's young, he was really attentive and on top of everything. Plus, he's very easy on the eyes, which didn't hurt! I ordered a glass of red wine, the Brussel sprouts, and the short rib rigatoni. The Brussel sprouts came out cold at first, but Alejandro handled it quickly. When they came back, it seemed like fresh ones had been added on top of the old batch--first bite was still cold, but the rest were hot and honestly delicious. The short rib rigatoni was the star of the night. Perfectly cooked pasta, tender short rib, and the fried garlic on top was my favorite part, it added so much flavor. Overall, everything was phenomenal. Great service, great food, and a really nice atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

Magnificent!!! I went to this restaurant for my birthday and was blown away by the environment, service, and the tremendous food. Italian is my favorite food, so I went in with an open mind and was extremely pleased. First, the interior of this establishment was very impressive. It reminded me of a New York/LA vibe in downtown Montgomery. (With much better parking, of course. Lol). The seats were in a part of the restaurant that provided a view consistent with a VIP experience. Our server was extremely helpful, expedient, and thoughtful. From the meatballs, chicken, and Duck Lasagna, there wasn't one morsel that was not, absolutely, succulent. The meatballs were seasoned to their core. The chicken was very tasty and the sauce served with it was perfection. Now, the duck lasagna, that was the show-stealer. I was very interested on how this would taste, but soon found myself abandoning my table manners and diving right in. After dinner, I was given a complimentary dessert, and get this, a card signed by everyone in the restaurant wishing me a happy birthday. Chef's Kiss. As if that wasn't enough, I was given a complimentary drink for my birthday at the rooftop bar where I was treated to the best rum punch (bartender's recipe with blackberries) I've ever had in my life. The vibe, scene, and Mississippi Delta blues made for a perfect birthday outing! I will be going back as soon as I'm back in the city.

What stands out most about this restaurant is the amazing customer service we received. Everyone from the hosts, to our server Ariel, to the chef Leo provided us with intimate, attentive service! The food was absolutely delightful. The appetizers were so incredibly flavorful, fulfilling, and filling. Unfortunately, we had eaten somewhere before coming here, so we didn't have space for dessert Our server was the best. I love that he helped us make decisions about our food and was exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable about each dish. The ambiance... exquisite and entrancing. Every touch was delicately curated. The patterns, fabrics, leather bound menus... I can't say enough about this place! Definitely recommend you go

What a great restaurant! The food, service and ambiance were superb. I would recommend this place for a special occasion, treating your self, or just because. I started with their bread and a glass of DOMAINE BEAUSÉJOUR "LES GRENETTES," TOURAINE. If you like Sauvignon Blanc, you will like this. The bread was a bit oily for me but had good flavor. The salmon was so good and the skin was crispy which I prefer, so I can eat it. I also asked for a side of pasta to complete my meal. I can't wait to come back and check out the outside rooftop area and other dish items.

Food is absolutely delicious here. Ravello deserves a Michelin Star. Service is attentive, friendly, and engaging. Ambiance is unique and elegant--used to be an old historic bank.

Surprisingly great restaurant in downtown Montgomery. The first thing you notice is that Ravello looks like a restaurant in Italy...not Alabama. The decor/atmosphere is really elegant and sophisticated. The food and service followed...both are really good. Food is super tasty and the portions are nice, the service is seamless and something you'd expect in New York or Miami. This is great place to eat if youre in Montgomery.

Back in town for two weeks, and had to give this beautiful space a second try. Leaps and bounds improvement! The food and service was excellent, on that I have no notes. The acoustics are still bad, with only three tables seated it was very loud. The restaurant is a GORGEOUS historic bank so the sound just bounces and echos across the hard surfaces. A few acoustic insulation panels (color matched to not ruin the look) would good a long way! Go see Brandon upstairs at Bar Attico for a pre dinner cocktail!!!

Best restaurant in Montgomery! I don't think I've tried better food in the whole town. Ravello is definitely top notch for service as well. The waiters and waitresses are extremely attentive. The two story restaurant was perfect for a graduation celebration. Quiet and classy.

Where do I begin. The waiter was so soft spoken we had a very hard time hearing him. The Carpaccio I didn't enjoy. I really tried to like it. It's a thin sliced beef tenderloin that apparently comes out raw with some bland sauce. Main course was my filet that was cooked well and the mashed potatoes were good. The kale around the edges was like eating rubber. No seasoning at all. The beef pasta was horrible. Super bland. I have never had anything so bland in my life and I love pasta. This night was a hard pass for us! If you come here you need to be prepared and hide some salt in your pocket. But I have to say this place is spectacular to visit. Gorgeous on the inside.

I would have given it five stars, but the speed of service was poor. We waited a long time for our food. The server was good when he was able to get to our table. Half of us had finished our food before others in our group received it. The food is 100% Italian. I loved the Focaccia; it was unique, light, and delicious. I had the Bolognese Al Cinghiale as it was close to spaghetti. It is expensive. My meal was $98 for pasta, meatballs and focaccia. It was a little steep. It was delicious. It is a 100% upscale space. It was pleasant. I probably won't go back, but I would recommend it to individuals who LOVE authentic Italian food and like to splurge on a meal.

Great upscale local restaurant in a beautiful open space. It's pricy, but not crazy, and a nice splurge one evening during a short visit to the area. The cynar flip is interesting, very creamy. The servers all knew their stuff about the food and drink, and could discuss them and make recommendations. The greens with balsamic and mozzarella, tomato, and focaccia was nice--not a tiny salad but not huge, not a full meal, and a reasonable addition if one is just getting a past dish. I asked for a recommendation as to the gnocchi or the bolognese and the bartender recommended the ricotta gnocchi, despite the lower price tag, which was notable. Gnocchi is nice to get in restaurants because it can be tricky to get the cooking conditions right at home. It didn't disappoint--perfectly cooked through but not gummy or chewy or powdery. It's was very cheesy, in a good way. The food came out promptly, but not hastily, and at no point did I feel rushed. The staff was all excellent, friendly, helpful, and professional.

The space in this restaurant is very nice, I came here on Wednesday night when the restaurant was about half full for dinner. There are a few tables in front of the open kitchen, which is where they sat me. I would suggest avoiding this area as it is quite loud with all of the kitchen activity which made for an unpleasant dining experience. They do have a nice bar located in their dining room, and you can dine at the bar also. Let me first say that the service was great throughout my time here (thank you Quincy!). I started with a glass of red wine and the Panzella salad, both were good. For the entrée I went with the Bolognese. The arugula garnish was super heavy, almost a salad in itself. But no, I don't prefer bitter arugula with my pasta. The Pappardelle Pasta was great, but the beef Ragu fell way short. It lacked any depth of flavor from either the tomato base or the meat, which left no trace of fatty goodness that one wants in a solid Ragu. It also contained diced pieces of carrot (fairly traditional), yet the pieces of carrot were raw and crunchy, which severely detracted from the dish. I might also suggest that the restaurant provide diners with some type of complimentary bread, which would've been nice to have with the pasta. I got a piece of pistachio cake to-go, and it was the star of the dinner show IMO. I will definitely give them another try sometime. However, this visit just scored on the average for me.

You need to come here to experience the great food and atmosphere. I suggest sitting at the marble counter bar and be pampered by the bartending staff and take in the ambient gothic urban ambient lighting which makes this place look like a movie set. I ordered the house focaccia to start and it was served warm , crunchy, soft and buttery. Perfect for the olive oil dip.....however..... When my Malfaldine Al Taturo arrived, I ended up dipping much of my focaccia into the creamy truffle sauce surrounded by fresh made pasta. Yum! Wonderful place with great service! I will be back!

I almost teared up while eating my meal. The food was incredible and I haven't pasta as good since the last time I visited Italy. The service is great, the building was beautiful, and my server was so kind. It did take a few minutes to get served at first, but after that, there was no problems at all. I highly recommend to anyone who wants authentic Italian in a beautiful setting.

We were visiting the area and I found Ravello on Yelp. I was impressed by the menu and restaurant, so it was a go! Ravello recommends making reservations but can accommodate a limited number of walk ins. The soonest reservation wasn't until 7:45pm so we decided to just walk in. Parking meters don't apply after 6pm so we parked right in Court Square. Other than that, there's valet and parking garages. We were greeted by attendants outside who escorted us to the hostess. Lucky for us, there was a table available! We were seated a few moments later. At first I was a little hesitant about this table. It's facing everyone as soon as you walk into the restaurant. The seating is an oversized plush bench. After a few minutes, I realized that I absolutely LOVED this seating! It's exactly what we needed! A gentleman provided us with drink menus and filled our water glasses. Shortly thereafter, our waiter Marcus came over. I ordered an Amalfitano and we got the focaccia to share. Marcus was so knowledgeable when it came to the menu and took time to tell us about the specials as well. We cozied up next to each other and took in the beauty of this amazing restaurant! The crown moldings and attention to detail is just marvelous! It was so sweet to see everyone just happy and buzzing about. Marcus brought out our appetizer and we ordered our main course. My husband got filetto mignon and I got the pollo saltimbocca. We enjoyed our warm, delicious focaccia! A little while later Marcus returned with our food. My husbands filet was a generous size as was my chicken. Both dishes were fresh and steamy! My husband orders filet frequently and said this was the best he's ever had! My chicken was cooked absolutely perfect! It was so moist and tender and full of flavor! The rosemary potatoes and vermouth cream were the perfect accompaniment and left me wanting more! For dessert, we ordered the amaretto cheesecake with the blackberry reduction. This cheesecake was the best, most authentic cheesecake I've had in ages! It was packed with flavor and not too sweet. The absolute perfect cap to our meal! This was probably one of the best dining experiences my husband and I have ever had! From the atmosphere, to the service and demeanor of the staff, to the delicious cuisine!

Great food and service, but it's LOUD. It's in an old bank and little to nothing was done to improve the acoustics.

Both stars go to the decor and the hostess who welcomed us in and sat us at our table. They were extremely friendly and the building is just beautiful to be in. The food however was lacking for us. The appetizer we ordered the bread, meatballs and artichokes. The bread, amazing. The other two were definitely flavorful, almost to much if that can be so? It was like one ingredient was trying to take over the other and not giving each other a fighting chance Entrees were again almost over powerful. My cacio e Pepe was doused in cheese, couldn't really taste the pepper. I would probably try something else. My husband ordered the seafood pasta which was way to salty and was extremely fishy. We both love seafood and neither of us could tackle that dish. Dessert we had the tiramisu. The ladyfingers were dry.

Great service, ambiance and food. Portion sizes were definitely too small for the price you pay, so be prepared to not be content after your entree. Complimentary bread would have been nice.

I made reservations for 3/8/24 on 2/10 for my fiancé's birthday dinner. Just received a call on voicemail stating they have cancelled my reservation in favor of a buyout for a private event. I don't believe that the private event was scheduled when I made my reservation because I initially wanted 3/7- his actual birthday and the person I spoke to stated that they were all booked up. She went through the calendar to find the 3/8 date. Very unhappy about this. Doubtful that we will return after this.

Not authentic Italian food Why are you serving dishes that have nothing to do with Italy. Also your wine bottles are 1/3 the price The only thing this place has going for it would maybe be the desserts. Most of the management here are the most 2 faced people I've ever met. The saffron risotto is such a disgrace to Italy. So disgusting. The gniocci no longer made with potatoes. The wine list is probably the worst I've ever seen My husband has been to Italy multiple times and our best friend is from Naples and we all agree this is the worst "Italian" food we've ever had, feels wrong even calling it Italian. The staff obviously never had real Italian food or know a single thing about wine, McDonald's staff are more culinary knowledgeable to be frank. This place a disgrace to Italian cuisine and to the beautiful city of Montgomery.

Joe A.

Yelp
Fabulous food but service top notch. Maitre'd, Ian, worked hard to find perfect wine pairing. Hope was our server and was attentive throughout the meal. The fried artichoke appetizer was delicious and malfadine dish was divine. Tiramisu was homemade and a wonderful treat. Setting is quaint with relaxing ambiance and decor. Look forward to returning.

Service was certainly not "top notch". We had a waiter who confessed he was doing this for a short time and while he was nice and friendly and personable, he was hardly professional. Our entrees came out with our first course, which he blamed on the kitchen. But really? He could have solved that by not letting the entrees be delivered...Putting that aside the food was less than good. It was mediocre. We had the tuna tartare, which was okay but mushy. The shrimp was good and had a nice sauce. My pasta was bucatini amatriciana...it was overcooked, undersauced and simply not flavorful. My husband had the rigatoni bolognese and it was okay, not great. For dessert, I ordered chocolate gelato - it was neither chocolate nor a smooth and creamy gelato. More like mocha crystalized ice cream. My husband had tiramisu, which he said was really good. Overall I would rate the restaurant a solid B- if not a C+. Just really a disappointment, especially given all the rave reviews. Maybe we are jaded or more picky than others or maybe it was an off night, but I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Loved the entire vibe. A classic upscale Italian feel with business, family dinner or date night feels. I was concerned it might be too loud for conversation, we were in a booth and I was pleasantly surprised at the ambience. The service was kind and efficient. The food was amazing and the old fashioned was well poured. Def go again.

We stumbled upon this gem after waiting at a substandard chain for quite awhile waiting to be seated and we were NOT disappointed! In fact we still talk about how this was one of our favorite meals while in Montgomery. It is in a gorgeous old bank building that has been thoughtfully restored. Service is a bit slow, but to be expected downtown. The menu was full of many amazing options. Of course the server tried to sell us on a three course meal and we declined wanted to build our own meal and do some sharing. We ordered scallops and burrata to start and they were incredible. Then we ordered gnocchi and shrimp to share and ended the meal with a delightful pannacotta. The reason I'm leaving this a 4 star is that we had quite the debacle with the bottle of wine we ordered. Our server was not well versed on wine, we therefore went with something we knew. This is when chaos ensued. It took her 25 minutes to bring us the wine and she couldn't even open the bottle! She ended us crushing the cork and pushing it in the bottle. Then instead of starting over, she had someone fish the cork out of the bottle and serve us wine that what somewhat grainy, and guess what...they still charged us full price! For a place with an extensive wine list (book more like) you'd think the server could open a bottle. Nonetheless after 30 minutes and moving past the disappointing wine, we did enjoy our meal and time at this hidden gem. FYI reservations are not required but it's nearly impossible to get a table without one.

Sit on the balcony overlooking this beautiful space....order wine by the glass choices to match your meal...and if you can splurge for the Lobster Risotto, you will not be disappointed....our waitress was more than good, she had to climb those stairs with our dishes!...start your visit with a cocktail with Mark at the great "HILLTOP PUB" up at the FIVE POINTS ...and we are from NYC and are fussy!

Will not return....very disappointed in the food. I went to lunch with 2 I had the Gnocci with Bolognese sauce. IT WAS AWFUL! "Bread" with plain olive oil was extra, no salad, nothing to accompany the pasta in a bowl. Little bits of parmesan, I swear....this was from a can at best. Mushy, no flavor, it tasted like Chef Boy Ardee and I'm not exaggerating at all. I'm not a picky eater, but this was truly awful. My friends had the Shrimp Salad (4 fried shrimp on endive) and they said it was OK. The cheesecake was ok, nothing special. I'm SO SO disappointed and I won't be back. The service was ok, the restaurant itself is beautiful, but the food was awful for me.

Food critic! I'm not one but I could be! I have eaten at some incredible restaurants in my life and I'm passionate about food! So I know what y'all are thinking...another Italian restaurant...but NO, not this place! Bread doesn't come free to the table to fill you up. These people push the level of excellence in every item you receive. The drinks are top notch, even the non alcoholic black cherry Shirley temples! The filet was by far the best filet I've ever had! My homemade pasta was rich and filling but perfectly proportioned! I ate every bite! The scallops, cooked to perfection! The crispy sweet chili Brussels are a must order side for ANY dish! And my daughter ate more pasta marinara than I've ever seen her eat! The strawberry almond cake and the Italian cream cake were some to write home about! The service was kind and knowledgeable. The ambiance was clean and beautiful! I can't wait to go back! If this place is in the running for dinner, don't give it another thought! It's a MUST!

We did not have a reservation at Ravello but secured seating at the bar. Zach and Marsha were AMAZING bartenders. Marsha recommended a wonderful Pinot and Sauvignon Blanc. Zach gave some great insights on sightseeing in Montgomery and was just fun to chat with (as we are from out of town). The gooseberry sorbet and tiramisu were to die for! Amazing time.

I recently had my first experience at Ravello with a group event that I attended. I must say "5 stars". I'll take a minute to Rave about Ravello. Great upscale atmosphere. Complimentary valet parking!!! Attentive well trained kind and polite staff. The folks here could not have been nicer or taken service to a higher level. You have set the bar high for Montgomery restaurants. The food is quite good and the kitchen was efficient to serve food at this level relatively quickly. Every thing we imbibed or ate was next level delicious and well prepared. We are fortunate to have a place of this caliber in Montgomery. Great for special occasions, fine dining, and they did a great job on the event that I attended in a downstairs private room. Cudos to you Ravello. Till we meet again....

Went here for my bday dinner, the ambiance was amazing, the entire interior design setup was so beautiful. Food was so so good; I got the octopus and it came with two tentacles instead of the usual one. We sat by the kitchen so we could see the cooks in action which was fun. Espresso martinis were great. The waiter was very kind. A little on the pricier side for the location but they had options for everyone!!

Beautiful, historically and architecturally divine. It's a delight just to be in such a relaxing and elegant atmosphere. The food was delicious, though some items seemed a little pricey. I went with one of the less expensive options, the Cacio e Pepe, and it was excellent. I would definitely order again. My friend ordered the salmon and enjoyed it immensely. We also got the focaccia and the burrata bread, and both were very good as well. My wine selection was SO good, and not too expensive. Watch out for the bottled water, however, unless you are really thirsty. $7 for water is a little steep. Service was excellent.

Ravello is a great restaurant with amazing food and a wonderful interior. We started off with a few appetizers but I would recommend the burrata and fried artichoke. The pastas were amazing and you can tell they are made fresh. The Malfadine Al Tartufo is a must try! We also ordered three main dishes (steak, duck, and lobster - I think they were all specials) and they were very good! Definitely try Ravello if you have the chance!

An Italian Restaurant gem in Montgomery, Alabama! The renovated Antebellum Mansion is stunningly beautiful, the Staff is attentive, and the Food is delicious!

Truly everything was wonderful! We had a party of 15, but we all had a wonderful experience. Every bite of every dish was impeccable and our waiter, Travis, made sure we had the best food and drink for our individual tastes. This would be a great date night spot, and made a hard day end on a positive note!

What a beautiful place! I wish I took pictures but I didn't. You can go wrong with this place. The cocktails, service and food were fantastic. I've been back since and I live 2 hours away. Definitely, highly recommended!
