Our cruise ship diverted to Ravenna for a day and we chose Al Rustichello as a lunch spot. A block…read moreoutside the old city walls, we could not have been happier with our choice. We chose two pastas and some wine and shared it all, easily done as the pasta is served in the skillets in which they were prepared. The portions were ample but not overwhelming and the flavors were so satisfying. Reasonable prices, especially after having been gouged at all the touristy restaurants for the previous 10 days. Friendly service, relaxed vibe. Possibly the best lunch on our Mediterranean trip.

Absolutely incredible, every time. It's a little bit off the beaten path but the service, ambience…read moreand food are spectacular. Two fun pieces of the experience are that they just tell you the dishes and you don't need to read a menu, and secondly they serve everything in pans. It's INCREDIBLE, you must try this place! Thank you, Trattoria Ristorante Al Rustichello!!

We had the Tagliatelle with their Bolognese ragu (delish) and split a sausage, frialetti and grilled onions pizza! But the real hit were their meatballs with peas and spinach balls served in a pecorino Romano fondue sauce! Both outstanding! All washed down with a bold Sangiovese and my wife enjoying their house white (very dry and subtle)! Wonderful dining! Highly recommend!

At 7pm they opened the doors and all the people that were waiting rushed in and sat themselves. when 100 plus people show up at a restaurant at exactly the same time I know it isn't easy for the kitchen BUT if they are prepared and have a system then workable. Well, the staff seemed neither prepared nor had a system so the service was horrendous. It took almost 30 min for someone to take our drink orders and then they ran off without taking the 4th persons order. Then 2 drinks came out and it was 30 minutes later before we could get anyone's attention about the rest of the drink orders. 15 minutes later our waiter came by and we placed our food orders. The waiter (older gentleman ) seemed VERY upset we couldn't speak italian and wasn't patient with our ordering at all. After almost 2 hours we finally had our drinks and food came out. One dish at a time. NOTHING came out together. The food was absolutely delicious. The best meal we have had in Italy. BUT I can't really recommend it due to horrendous service.
