My family and I had been in Spain for a full week and had become Tapa'd-out. Looking for an alternative for dinner lead us to La Raviolina. I saw it was located on the busiest street of Old Town in San Sebastián and figured it was a good pick. The waitress was very friendly and immediately got our Tinto Sangria and made it at our table (best Sangria I had in Spain). We ordered a Cesar Salad to share and it was also top notch. I ordered a pizza with mozerella, baked ham, mushroom, artichoke and peppers. We ordered a 2nd one to go because it was so good! We were all so pleased with the food and service that we went back the next night and chose the pasta route for dinner. Might have been even better than the pizza! We had both the meat and mushroom ravioli (best dishes that night!) as well as the pesto pasta. House-made Gelato served in glasses at the end topped off the meal nicely. read more

Walking around old town in San Sebastian and felt like a change from our heavy pintxos diet. We stumbled into Raviolina for an Italian meal tonight. The place is jumping, quiet, intimite and with the light rain, it just feels right. We were served a complimentary pizza bread to start. A pizza shell wood fired and lightly brushed with olive oil, garlic and salt. A great start. Our diet has been very lean in the salad department on this trip and a Caesar salad sounded great. The salad was spot-on and had a good flavor. Not quite full, we added a pasta carbonara to split. The sauce was runny, lacked flavor and had a consistency of Mac n cheese. Overall, a disappointment. La Raviolina needs to build out their pasta flavors. They don't taste Italian, but rather a sauce coating noodles. You can judge for yourself and decide what you think. read more

Omg- the burrata salad. Everything here was fantastic. We were tempted to come back the next day. Whether you like pizza, pasta, or salad, this place delivers. My sister and I loved it. It also happens to have the most vegetarian options in all of downtown San Sebastian, which was a plus for me. The food came out quick, the staff was nice, and the interior was cute. It all seemed very authentic. read more

Great little Italian oasis in the Old Town world of Tapas and Pintxos. Nice to have a sit down meal and a super easy reservation even on a busy San Sebastián night. Had 2 pastas, a pizza and the melted cheese appetizer. Really excellent and friendly service as well. read more

Terrible service. Wine arrived rafter dinner. Pasta was bland. How was this place ever recommended? We were tricked. Stick with the pintxos on the street. read more

Had to try it again before we leave SB. Second time is just as good as the first. Even their olive oil is insanely good. We tried the tagliatelle bolognese and truffle burrata salad. I'll be missing this joint. read more

Absolutely the best Italian food. Lasagna is 10/10. Lived the Bolognese and burrata salad as well. Highly recommend checking it out.

This restaurant came highly recommended by some freinds, and we didn't want to leave San Sebastián without trying it. We barely made it before closing but they were kind enough to serve us. They close at 4pm sharp and reopen for dinner at 7:30. The staff was awesome and helpful. The food was delicious! I was so jealous of my husband's pizza so we are going back tonight so the I can order a pizza for myself. It was worth getting lost for. read more

When that pasta cravings hit!! I lasted without any pasta for a week! Paris - Bordeaux - San Sebastián, Spain! A whole 8 days!! That was crazy long! Not that tapas aren't great. Tapas are amazing!! So cheap! So tasty! Especially here. They go straight to the point: no veggies and stuffing cheese stuff! It's meat, offals! And octopus! Squid! Shrimp! So affordable too! You bar hop for tapas! The problem is everyone in town does that tapa hop too!! It's so busy every night!! Thursday's Friday's are the worst!! It was my last night in San Sebastián! I've been to all the top tapas bar. At this point i was doing a repeat visit!! And really not in the mood to wait!! Probably a good thing! Came here pre-tapas!! And yumm! Only place in this area without the huge lines! It was still pretty full. Really pretty spot: white, bright with causal setting but 3-4x bigger than most tapas bar! You have huge tables! Not standing and eating. Huge pizza oven! Massive coffee bar! It is as Italian as I am Spanish! :) None of the workers speak Italian. Say what? It was ok! They sent the English speaking waiter to our table! :P. He didn't get a word of Italian! He spoke broken English. But no confusion in spaghetti bolognese or carbonara is there!? Food was good. I really wanted the hearty meaty bolognese. Didn't quite like it. That's when ordering in two came in handy! Carbonara was actually pretty good!! Surprisingly! Really enjoyed it!! The problem: protein is almost non existent in most dishes. Which was a ok since I was going for octopus, beef hearts and then some for tapas right after! A glass of libation, 2 bottles of small water, few espressos and pastas later! I left a very happy girl!! Left to wait in line for my favorite tapas bar!! Woot woot!! It was pretty cheap too!! Totally a fan! read more

Stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to eat and the pictures of the ravioli looked delicious. We waited about 15-20 minutes for a table for four, but the workers were nice. Like every other place in Spain, the restaurant is small so it got very crowded in the front when more people came to wait for a table. There is an English menu for those who can't read Spanish!! I opted for the mushroom ravioli that also comes with ham on top. The ravioli was pretty tasty with a white creamy sauce. The ham went great with the cheesy ravioli. There are 7 pieces of ravioli which didn't really fill me up, so I suggest ordering an appetizer. My friends ordered the spinach ravioli. They said there was a hint of a blue cheese taste so if you don't like blue cheese, you may not like this. Overall, service was great. Food came out surprisingly fast and our waitress was super friendly and accommodating. They also have cheap coffee and a nice selection of gelato for dessert if you're still hungry! read more

After dining a week in Spain with another couple the idea of some pizza and a salad sounded very appealing. We stumbled upon this restaurant among the Pintxo bars in the old town of San Sebastián. We were incredibly surprised how amazing everything was that we ordered. Started with mixed olives, fresh sliced tomato & arugula salad with buratta cheese drizzled lightly with a basil pesto sauce. The waitress suggested that we order a basket of bread which was a type of bread crisps made from what may have been pizza dough. Light, airy & perfect with the tomatoes. The meal was completed with a margarita & 4 cheese pizzas. Both incredibly good & would rival many places in NY/NJ. read more

By far the least impressive Italian meal I've ever had. The Olive Garden is better. The salad was swimming in a disgusting dressing and the pastas (carbonara and bolognese) were very bland with over-cooked, industrial pasta. read more

The food was so good! Cheese provolone. Salads. Sangria - white & red, and the tagliatelle bolognese. read more

I love the Italian food here. It was such a welcome respite from Basque cuisine. We ordered the Bianca pizza, lasagna, raviole de carne, and the spaghetti peperoncino and it was all amazing. Highly recommended read more

This was a good distraction after hitting the pinxto circuit so hard. We had some of the pizza that was decent, but also had pasta. Dishes we had included carbonerra and shrimp tagiatelle. It was very tasty for sure. The service was a bit stressed, but it was a busy night. If you need a break from the pinxto crawl this is a decent place to go. read more

Great place if you're getting sick of all the tapas-style meals. The walnut cheese ravioli was amazing!

We had enjoyed San Sebastian's pintxo bar scene earlier in the day, and needed something more substantial before cycling the next day in the Pyrenees. La Raviolina's reviews here were encouraging so off we went, no reservations in place. Turns out that was a mistake, but not a big one. The hostess scanned the packed brightly lit place, estimated a 15 minute wait, but seated us in half that time. While it might seem difficult to avoid dairy in an Italian restaurant, the server was very helpful in guiding us, and even modifying some dishes to accommodate us. The sangria was delicious. The starter bread with simple oil and salt were amazing. The tomato salad and following pasta entre were to die for. We cleaned our plates to the point where we had no room for dessert. Highly recommend this place. read more

Food was amazing ! Had 4 cheese pizza... wow! My wife has pear gorgonzola with pesto was the best pasta dish EVER in a restaurant. My girls had other pizzas that were awesome too. Lovely place for a break from awesome pintxos !! read more

Do not come here. We saw the good reviews and thought it would be a nice break from the pintxos. The sangria was bad, the aperol spritz was worse. The spaghetti carbonara was scrambled eggs and noodles. This place is overpriced and the food isn't good. Note that we didn't see any locals eating here while we were there, only tourists... read more

Love it here! They welcomed our large group with pitchers of sangria and table for 12in back. Maddi was our waiter and he was awesome!! Lots of pizzas ordered-- thank you!!! read more

Go! My family enjoys pintxos, but needed a break. Fabulous Italian food in Spain. I grew up in NY and found that this restaurant had very authentic flavors. New York style pizza crust and perfectly cooked pasta. Salads were generous and flavorful. The Caesar had a unique dressing that was light and delicious. The rose sangria was a wonderful accompaniment to a great meal. read more

Service was outstanding and the food even better. We had to wait a few minutes for a table but they made us very comfortable being a larger party (7). From the garlic bread to start to the cappuccino to finish. Yummers read more

This place is the best! From the drinks to the food to the dessert. ¡MUY RICO! Definitely a good Italian restaurant! read more

Lovely and modern looking place. The food was very nice, and the prices were affordable. The staff is warm and kind, and always serves you with a smile. It's a nice place to go when you want a break from all the pintxos and tapas around! I definitely recommend it, and would come again. (Also, they have gelato and other very good Italian desserts ;) ) read more
