Ravello in Wiltshire

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. A beautiful old building near the river. Our food was well cooked and well presented. Staff were great. A bit dark but that's normal in an old building.

We arrived at opening time ( we had no booking) we were fitted in with the proviso that we were out by 19.30 which was OK for us on this occasion. The service was prompt and the menu interesting, with a few twists. My wife had a pasta with a squash and vegetable sauce which she enjoyed my calzone was huge and very tasty. With some typically Italian desserts tiramisu and profiteroles. So not the most adventurous but we enjoyed it. The reason that we had to be out became apparent when lots of people arrived .

I have enjoyed several lunches at this most friendly restaurant with family and friends several times over the past two months and they have never let me down. Italian food served by Italians, everything from pasta to risotto and pizza - and a great . Negroni aperitif while studying the extensive menu. They have never let us down. How they manage to retiaoin the delicacy of prawns and mussels in a creamy saffron risotto defeats me. My fellow diners have praised so many dishes but I would only mention a few - the arancietti, stuffs to di pesce, risotto co cozze and the duck breast. The service from Reddi and Freddy is friendly, knowledgable and professional. Choosing from the a la carte instead of the day’s menu may take little longer but it allows you to enjoy one of their aperitifs, both alcoholic and non. You will appreciate the time spent when the dishes arrive. Buon appetito.

Just amazing service , food and atmosphere Attention to detail was great.. Very attentative Thankyou to all the staff xx

This is the best Italian restaurants I've been in for years. Can't say anything other than what a lovely place to eat. The ambience of the place is so special. Superb food served with a smile..

My wife and i had an absolutely fantastic two course lunch here at the weekend. The food,staff,service, atmosphere and cleanliness were faultless. We really enjoyed it. Shame we live a two hour drive away.

We were staying just up from Bradford On Avon and having visited there one afternoon we saw this place so we decided to book a table for the evening.We were not disappointed.The atmosphere was lovely,staff very chatty and helpful and the restaurant is furnished so nicely.It was a Wednesday evening and we couldn't believe how busy it was obviously very popular.The food and wine was so nice.If we lived nearby it would be our place to go regularly.Keep doing what your doing guys your restaurant is fabulous.

Y favourite restaurant in town. Food is great, atmosphere is great, wine is great, staff are accommodating and on it. Incredible setting inside and out.

This was our second visit to Ravello and it was once again superb. The building is beautiful and the way the restaurant is laid out and decorated is gorgeous and authentic, so the atmosphere is really good. The food is perfect. Cooked to absolute perfection, by Italian chefs. Faultless. The only problem is deciding what to have as the menu is so good. For the second time, we opted for 3 courses and were not disappointed. The service is excellent too and a special mention should go to the lady who’s from Eastern Europe, not quite sure where, but she is so friendly, polite and efficient she really made our evening. Cannot wait to return for the 3rd visit!

Went here as a local shop owner recommended the food. Great choice and great staff We had two courses and the service was great. Reasonable price too

Beautiful setting, wonderful food, service & ambience. Couldn’t fault it. Staff were so friendly without being obtrusive. Best Italian we have eaten in by far.

One of the best Italians ive eaten at, EVER. All 4 dishes served to our table were cooked to perfection and packed with flavour. Will definitely visit again when in BoA. The restaurant setting is so comfortable too, old cotswold stone building creates a unique ambience.

We had stayed the weekend in Bradford upon Avon as a base for visiting the Bath Christmas Market and decided to have lunch here before setting off for home 2.5 hours drive away. Ravello looked nice from the outside. We were lucky to get a table, waiter was very obliging and happy to make the effort to accommodate us. The menu sounded tempting, we chose Mezzi Rigattoni Con ' Nduja Pancetta - which was exceptional. Also shared some delicious garlic flat bread. The service was excellent and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended, we will certainly return if/ when we are next in the area.

Excellent food with amazing service, I would recommend to everyone to visit here! And thank you to the restaurant staff for the lovely evening we had the best time ever!

My Husband & I went here for my birthday & our Anniversary & had a wonderful evening! We were greeted with a complimentary glass of fizz! The meal was delicious & then a lovely happy anniversary message on the plate of our dessert!

We loved everything about Ravello’s, so glad we booked here. The service was outstanding and the food absolutely delicious. If you are visiting Bradford on Avon book here!

Probably some of the best food I’ve had in a long time, especially the chocolate fondant. I could have that morning noon and night and never be sick of it. There was a huge selection and the staff were all incredibly kind. Very cosy vibes, just what we needed.

We visited on Saturday lunchtime as a group of 7. We were seated upstairs in a really cosy area. The restaurant was lovely decorated, the tables were spaced out so we had room. We liked the Venice mask upstairs. The waiter was very attentive and friendly. I had a hot chocolate which was a good big size. We ordered garlic bread which we all enjoyed. On our table we had lasagne, a pasta dish and pizzas. We all enjoyed our food. We would recommend.

This is going to be a short one because if I tell you all the great things about this restaurant, it would be less a review than a book of Dickensesque proportions! A lovely restaurant in a lovely building in a lovely town. The staff are professional and friendly; we were certainly well looked after. The food is wonderful, traditional Italian fare for the most part, cooked to perfection, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. I can highly recommend the Linguine Ravello, a perfect amalgam of king prawns, muscles, et al, a fantastic seafood dish. The other dishes are perfection too. You like rich meaty lasagna? One of the best I have had. The ravioli of the day? A wonder whatever the filling. And don't get me started on the profiteroles! All in all, a constant delight. If you haven't guessed, this is highly recommended.

We found ourselves in the centre of Bradford on Avon and looked at the Tripadvisor Reviews. Ravello easily lived up to expectations an ratings. Food is fresh and imaginative, the decor is pleasing and the service is efficient. Taste wise the fare is a cut above the rest. Good value too.

Wow! What an amazing find this was in Bradford-upon-Avon. We spent our wedding anniversary evening in this lovely Italian restaurant, and I cannot fault it. All the staff were especially kind as it was our anniversary...and that coupled with the delicious food, really made it a fantastically memorable evening! Would recommend 100%!

Wow, what a superb lunch for our special anniversary family occasion. The food was absolutely excellent, the staff were so friendly and attentive and the service was spot on. The chef is totally amazing! We received a fantastic welcome and on realising it was our anniversary, they treated us to a glass of prosecco on the house. Our main courses were divine (we chose the risottos and lasagne) and our dessert was accompanied by beautifully crafted personal anniversary message, which was a really lovely touch. Ravello has become our No. 1 Italian restaurant and we will be back very soon. Highly recommend!

What a way to celebrate my 80th Birthday ! As always there attention to detail is superb Super greeting when we arrived & made to feel very special To the food My wife had the Caprino al Forno ( goats cheese ), excellent, best she has had ! Me the Prosciutto E Malone, very good Mains, my wife had the Bronzino al Forno & I had my favourite Bronzino Revello's, as usual superb sea bass fillets As a constructive comment, please warm the plates before serving At end of meal waiter served up sorbets on a plate with birthday wishes, thank you very much Finale was the restaurant singing Happy Birthday to me What a superb evening

My son and I go out almost every Wednesday to eat in different places. We chose this place tonight . Great reception and what a beautiful restaurant outside and in. The service was fantastic and lovely relaxed atmosphere. The food we had was authentic and tasted as good as it looked. We both decided we would go back again.

The booking for a midweek evening meal for 2 was made via the internet and proved to be quick, easy and efficient. It is suggested that no matter when you are going to this restaurant that a reservation is made in advance to ensure you get a table. The restaurant is easy to find being in the main road through Bradford on Avon, by the bridge over the river Avon, with a public car park (3 hour maximum) available near-by. The outside of this historic stone building is flower festooned and atmospheric, whilst inside there is plenty of character throughout with interesting nooks and crannies; overall it has a warm and cosy atmosphere. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks with tables over 3 floors and though they are well spread out it can become quite noisy (echoes) at times, especially if a large party is taking place. On arrival we were greeted and shown to our table; the service throughout was very attentive, but discrete and not intrusive, leaving us feeling relaxed and unhurried Their menu was excellent, not overly extensive and did contain a good selection of distinctive Italian classics and seafoods that covered something for all tastes. The drinks menu was again inclusive, but predominately Italian wine orientated, as one would expect. They also have a good selection of spirits and ports that would also suit most tastes. All dishes are made from scratch, featuring seasonal and local ingredients cooked fresh to order. Well worth the wait as they were good quality, well presented to a high standard (compliments to the chef on this), with decent portions being served and were considered good value for money. Items of note from our chosen dishes included the mains of ‘Branzino Ravello’ (Fresh fileted sea bass served with king prawns, mussels, cherry tomatoes, new potatoes) and the desert of ‘Fodente al Cioccolato’ (Warm chocolate fondant with a gooey chocolate filling served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream (allow 10 minutes to prepare)). I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant and would use it again when visiting the area.

We were on a short break & unsure of where to eat. Ravello did not disappoint! We hadn’t booked but we tend to eat early and a table was found for us though they needed it back by 8. Perfect for us! The building is...

What an incredible experience - beautiful ambiance, great service and ‘gastronomic’ food - fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. Had the Strudel do vedira ricotta and roasted mixed veg as starters with the pan a al aglio flatbread - all were delicious incredible. For mains we...

Stopped off at the Ravello whilst we were en route home from Dorset and so glad we spotted this place, couldn't fault anything about it and only wish we lived closer to repeat our experience. First - the restaurant itself, a beautiful place with oodles...

Service fabulous and food delicious. What more can we say apart from we'll be back when we stay in Bradford-on-Avon again. Keep up the great work!

I cannot recommend Ravello highly enough. The service is excellent and the food to die for. Beautiful surroundings and atmosphere. It was a great way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

We had a really lovely evening at Ravello's. The food was delicious and served quickly. I had the risotto which was very flavoursome. My six year old son tried some too and loved it. My husband had the chicken supreme which was presented amazingly and...

Had to have it again. Simple early supper of fish stew, crusty bread and glass of wine. Great staff, restaurant busy even at 6pm ... perfect after a day renovating

OUT OF THIS WORLD….. Visited 14th August for our wedding annerversery and we where well and truly spoiled. From the amazing greeting upon arrival and a complimentary glass of fizz each to what we would call “top class” Michelin star treatment. Our waiters and waitress...

Superb food, service and atmosphere. We would recommend the lamb chops or fillet steak - cooked to perfection with a lovely red wine sauce. We will definitely be returning. Oh and the bread is freshly made daily and served warm 👌

Lovely restaurant and very friendly helpful staff. The food was excellent. We hope to be back. We had a mix of pastas, pizzas and salads at our table and everyone enjoyed. Thank you so much.

Lovely Italian food and atmosphere. Great service and friendly staff. I haven’t been to a lovely restaurant like this one in a while, if you’re in Bradford-on-Avon, I’d recommend

Lovely waiting staff, very attentive, the food is amazing, will definitely come back for another date night! Thank you guys and gals

We enjoyed a fabulous meal at Ravello. The restaurant itself has great character and a wonderful vibe. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and our special thanks to Yara for looking after us so well. This is definitely a 5 star rating. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and service today at Ravello where we were joined by friends for lunch and some drinks. Called last minute to see if a table was available on a rainy Saturday afternoon and they accommodated us with only a couple of hours notice. Prawn...

Beautiful restaurant inside and out. Excellent service (friendly and fast). Delicious food, especially the lasagna…best we have had!

Had a lovely dinner here, took my elderly mother and they couldnt have been more accommodating with a table on the ground floor near to the entrance (there is also disabled parking available in the car park opposite). Food was excellent as was the service....

We were staying in Bradford on Avon & ate at Ravello one evening. The menu offered a lot of choice and the food & service was excellent. Great food, reasonably priced. Will definitely book here again on our next visit.

We were only in Bradford on Avon for one night as part of a walking holiday and booked this restaurant as it was close to our hotel. What a wonderful surprise! The menu is crammed with so many delicious sounding dishes it was hard to...

We had an excellent meal here, great food and really good ambience. We didn’t eat outside but the outside space looked great and the whole layout added to the great vibes - it’s in an incredibly old building but manages to look cool and modern...

We meant to go here on may 31st to celebrate our 9 year anniversary, instead came here a day later. The food was out of this world, never been to ravello’s even though we have lived in Bradford on avon for the past ten years....

Brought my mother here for her 85th birthday and we were all blown away by the beautiful restaurant, the fantastic food and superb service. She was made to feel particularly special.

Wow, just wow. Excellent service, building full of character and the food is amazing, no small portions here. You got to try their home made chips, and the semifreddo dessert is a must.

We visited as two couples as part of a narrow boat trip on the Kennet and Avon Canal The restaurant was busy on a Thursday evening The atmosphere was buzzy and the staff friendly. The menu was comprehensive and the food was of extremely good...

If you ever want to go for an Italian meal, go here. The service we received was first class, the waiting staff being attentive but without being overly so and the quality of the food was equally outstanding. Added to that, the building is charming...

Restaurant was so nicely decorated and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing so tasty, i would definitely go back

Was recommended this restaurant by the hotel we were staying in. Looked good on entry with friendly staff and decent prompt service. Let down by the food. The pasta I had Mezzi Rigatoni al forno (chicken) was bland. I do not usually take salt but...

Great service and really nice food. The tiramisu was extra light and the fish so fresh. We went for a special occasion and it didn't disappoint!

I think this restaurant experience would have been much improved if the staff were friendlier. My bag fell off my chair without me noticing. Rather than offering to pick it up I was very rudely told to pick it up as it was a danger...

We selected this restaurant based on the good reviews but we were very disappointed. We ordered the Linguine Con Verdure and the risotto Con Pollo. The Linguine were tasteless and the risotto was very average. The price of both was very expensive. I would not...

We had a lovely meal. The service is impeccable and we had a table near a window with a view of the river. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks with tables over 3 floors. We had mussels, seabass and gluten free seafood pasta,...

Ravello is our favourite restaurant in the area and we have been many times. The restaurant itself is stunning and the staff is extremely well trained and friendly. I have never ordered something I don't like, but our favourite is the seabass dish. Lastly, I...

Not quite sure what has happened to this place. Took our daughter out for her birthday as is tradition (about our fifth or sixth visit). First thing I noticed was that the prices seem to have gone up, pizzas seeming to average around £17-18. Myself...

This has always been my go to place for a special meal but my most recent visit wasn’t as good as normal. Had the arrancini balls which were totally bland, had to add loads of salt and pepper! Next I had a mushroom starter which...

Beautiful dinner with a really cosy atmosphere. We had the risotto, mushroom pizza and some home made chips. All were great especially the chips which were huge. It was all freshly cooked and the restaurant had an authentic feel. The staff there were really attentive...

Before you read this review- please note and view my profile that I very very rarely leave bad reviews so I have been very fair with this! Having always wanted to visit here- I have to say first time experience was extremely disappointing :( We...

What a lovely restaurant. From the decor, to the service and of course the food, everything was 5*. The atmosphere was cosy and warm coupled with attentive and friendly service. I had the pollo gorgonzola pasta dish which was sublime! Thank you Ravello we look...

My wife and I called in for lunch without a reservation, and were very pleased we did. The ambience was very nice, and the food was lovely. The staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely recommended!

Visited for my partners birthday in January. We have visited the restaurant several times, but felt a little disappointed this time round. At £100 for the two of us I think it’s very overpriced and it didn’t have the wow factor that we previously had....

My title says it all - great, cosy but very Italian feeling atmosphere - fantastic service and amazing food! My wife and I were away for Christmas, staying at Winsley for the holiday; on the day of booking we were visiting Bath and decided, as...

This was our first time in Ravello's andI know reviews can be subjective but I can honestly say that this was one of the best meals that I've ever had....and in that not only do I include how lovely the food was, but also the...

I was recommended this restaurant by someone who was staying nearby. I have no hesitation in recommending Ravello to anyone visiting Bradford on Avon. It is a charming, well run Italian restaurant serving good food in a more than pleasant atmosphere. It most certainly deserves...

Myself and wife had an amazing meal and great service, the atmosphere of the old building really made it special. To top it off it was very festive, would 100% recommend.

My partner and I visited Ravello this evening (just happened to be England/France in the World Cup). It was great to see the restaurant so busy and how lovely the staff were throughout. The food was absolutely outstanding from the sardines to the monkfish to...

This was a lovely restaurant, food was excellent and service great. And wonderful dining experience.

Friday night birthday meal, food was fabulous and a really nice atmosphere. Attentive staff and would definitely go back.

Staying in the area for a couple of days and reading reviews, we chose this restaurant - the reviews are spot on - excellent. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. The staff are really exceptional - friendly and excellent...

Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. The food was superb; the staff were friendly and obliging, and made you feel really special from the minute you arrived. The restaurant was fully booked (on a Thursday night) and yet the service was unaffected and the food was...

What a brilliant find one of the best meals we have had the food and the staff were fantastic if you are ever in the area you must visit this restaurant

Visited this Restaurant a couple of weeks ago. Venue excellent but lighting a little dim inside, making reading the menu problematic (take a torch with you) My friend had lasagne and the portion size was that for a child. I selected Sea Bass which was...

I choose Ravello to celebrate three family birthdays totalling 127 years so occasion as very Unique made even more so by having family from Denmark and Sweden We were7 adults and 4 children I thought the service was excellent and the food was everything I...

This is a beautiful building in a beautiful town, with a great ambiance, friendly service and lovely wine and cocktails. Which makes it all the more sad that lovers of good quality Italian food will be so disappointed. The pasta and risotto were rather tasteless,...

The building is beautiful, the evening lighting and Italian music are very atmospheric… The staff were very polite, helpful and friendly- I didn’t feel rushed or judged in any way and the food was soooooooooooo good! Drinks were also very tasty, will definitely visit again...

I regularly choose this restaurant when I’m in the area. Decided to take my wife here for our 25th wedding anniversary. Again the food was delicious and they made a real fuss of us. The waitress provided excellent service all evening Thank you

Popped in on off chance and were shown to a nice table upstairs. Staff friendly and helpful. Food delicious and service excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Myself and my partner ate here last night. Food was amazing - so tasty. Staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again

We were nearly put off this restaurant by a bad review. Thank goodness we weren’t! It is superb. The food, the staff, the ambiance were all top notch. I highly recommend it.

Staff were very attentive and the food was excellent in a charming restaurant. My partner and I felt like we were in Italy. We will be visiting again soon 😊👍

Enjoyed an excellent meal and ambiance with fantastic service from start to finish. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Very personable young waiters in an interesting dining room. The duck was superb, as was the risotto. The wine by the glass was fine, but quite pricey

We got here at about 9pm on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was only about half full. Still we were asked to wait 15-20 minutes for a table. Once we sat down, it took another 15-18 minutest before a waiter came to take our orders....

Have eaten here a few times but the food has definitely gone downhill at the same time the prices have gone up. Also found the front of house guy very unfriendly. I think that will be our last visit.

One of the nicest meals we have had, food was amazing (we had lamb and duck). The service was a little slow, but the food was with the wait. Service was okay but as they were busy could understand that they didn’t have a lot...

Lovey food served outside in the garden as it was a hot sunny evening. Starters of bruschetta and squid followed by linguine and risotto both with seafood. Excellent choices as all delicious. Would definitely recommend and hope to return again before end of our holiday....

We found this place busy and lively, but we were attended to promptly and often. We found the portions more or less exactly right and the pricing fair. We like it, the food, and the staff and would defintely eat here again when nearby. Recommended.

Took my husband for a birthday dinner on Saturday. The restaurant was very busy however the staff were attentive and friendly as always. Food was delicious and the portions were generous. I had a fillet steak which was cooked perfectly. Been many times before and...

Much larger restaurant than your first think. Situated in the centre of Bradford on Avon in an historic building. We dined on a Thursday evening and it was very busy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good choice of food. Meal was well presented and extremely...

We are local to Bradford and have been eating here since it opened. The building is wonderful and we have no issues with the staff, or the quality of the food. I do object though to tiny overpriced food if you don't have the pasta...

We visited this restaurant while on a canal boat holiday. I had done some research using Tripadvisor and decided to give this restaurant a visit. We were not disappointed. A beautiful looking building which is nicely decorated. Friendly staff and lovely food, every plate of...

we are big pizza lovers. heard so much about this place so we came here for pizzas and sorry to say we were quite disappointed with them. The building is fantastic, staff are friendly. shame the pizzas weren’t what we were hoping for.

Easily one of the nicest Italian meals I've had anywhere. It's a little more pricy than the boring high street Italian chains, but you definitely get what you pay for. Great service, lovely surroundings and excellent food. One of the best meals I've had out...
