I absolutely love this place! They cook the food over an open flame which gave the food the perfect smoke flavor without a single bite tasting burnt. I don't think I have ever had a better tasting filet and the pork belly was perfect. I'm disappointed in myself for not having the pasta so I will definitely be making a return trip soon.

A gem in the Montgomery area! The food is high quality and absolutely flavorful. The service is top notch and the environment is unique and gives a sense of sophistication. Definitely recommend if you want something high quality. The price is absolutely worth it!

My husband and I ventured here for my birthday. Please trust all of the reviews that say this place does not disappoint. It was more than just dinner. Ravello was truly an experience! The atmosphere was laid back and electric all at the same time. That foccaccia is EVERYTHING. And the King Ora salmon.....MELT IN YOUR MOUTH. We had a table upstairs with a view of the bar downstairs. It felt very private. Food was delicious. Service in the door was amazing. My husband said he would definitely go back. (He's not easily impressed with restaurants). I cannot wait to go back and try the lamb chops!

Ravello... Ravello... Ravello where do I even start?! The experience was above 10 stars. My mother and I wanted to go on a girls date and we decided to get dressed and travel from Tuscaloosa, AL to Ravello in Montgomery,AL and BOY WAS IT WORTH IT!!! Friday night we had waiter Sadu (sorry if it’s spelt incorrectly) Sadu experience in the industry really shines through. Sadu is very thorough and the way he describes the taste of the dishes are spot on. My mother and I enjoyed Red Snapper & Salmon alongside Potatoes, Asparagus & Tuscan salad. The ambience was jaw dropping the imported floor to ceiling mirror was absolutely stunning. Our dinner was accompanied by Cornelius grand tour of the entire space (which made it even MORE JAW DROPPING) this entire Friday evening isn’t going to go unspoken of. The time spent the cocktails had and the memories created is something we will always cherish. Thank you Ravello! And special thanks to Cornelius & Sadu for the wonderful time.

This place has amazing food and amazing service. For the 1-person attendance, you can go eat full menu at the bar and have such great service. Otherwise, you will need a reservation for a table. The cook Leo makes amazing food and even delivers it to you; he even remembered I had come the week before and was so nice. The bartender, Hailey, is very nice and give great recommendations. She is a sweetheart and goes above and beyond with service. Thank you for such a nice experience. It was my second time here and each time they made me feel special. I posted a couple of pics of the food (forgot to take a pic of the oysters and last time’s food but all was great). They also have military and healthcare worker discount of 10% which is a plus. Thank you!

Exceptional Dining Experience at Ravello Ristorante! Ravello Ristorante in Montgomery, AL, is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere and elegant decor set the stage for an unforgettable meal. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the dining experience. The food was nothing short of spectacular. We started with the Calamari Fritti, which was perfectly crispy and served with a delicious lemon aioli. For the main course, the Filetto di Manzo (filet mignon) was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. My partner had the Pappardelle al Ragu, and the homemade pasta was divine, with a rich, slow-cooked sauce. To top it off, the Tiramisu was the best we’ve had outside of Italy—light, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The wine selection was excellent, and our server’s recommendations paired beautifully with our meals. Ravello Ristorante is hands-down one of the best Italian restaurants in Montgomery. Whether it’s a romantic date night, a special celebration, or just a craving for authentic Italian cuisine, this place delivers on every level. We can’t wait to return! 10/10 recommend!

An amazing Italian place! The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was elegant. I had the octopus with grilled broccolini...simply amazing! The pasta is handmade and served al dente with amazing sauces. We shared a piece of sweet potato cheesecake, yes, sweet potato...it was incredible! Highly recommend you book a reservation and make an evening with friends and family.
