Ravenna's is an average place to visit. I'm not sure why it received 4 and 5 stars, unless someone from the restaurant gave it that. The food was nothing special. I could have ...

Blah... Do Not Waste your time or $ 3/21/2012

The food was plain and boring. No seasoning. We cound not understand the waiter. It wasn't a clean environment. I really wish we would have gone to another venture during our stay in Dallas instead of Ravenna's. Zero stars from my family. Pros: null Cons: null more

Avoid booking large parties at this place. 2/28/2012

Avoid dining at this restaurant if you are considering a large party. I traveled with a large group from the west coast and booked the private dining area for 28. I discussed the menu options with "Kevin", one of the managers and we were all set. In addition, one of my girlfriends also spoke to the manager who committed days in advance that they could accomodate our request. Two days later (and a day before my travels to Dallas from California) I received a call from the owner that he had since "fired" Kevin and that they could not accomodate my party for the cost comitted to me ($17 per person for penne pasta with marinara, garlic bread, green salad and fountain drinks - no alcohol or dessert). Not only was this manager completely unreasonable, he was rude as well and offered no possible solution - other than for me to reduce my menu and cut out the $6.50 salad to meet the $17 price. The next day when we arrived in Dallas, our event ended early so I called the restaurant to find out if our room would be ready earlier (since I reserved a private room). At that point, the same owner told me that he would not be ready for me early and in fact, somebody else was using the room. The room I had reserved for 28 would not be ready until 8:30 at the earliest. Needless to say, my friends and I had to find another location to enjoy dinner - which we did! I would never recommend this place and I certainly wouldn't even give it one star although that's the lowest rating possible. Pros: null Cons: null more

The best Italian Food I have had in Dallas. 11/10/2011

This littlel touch of Italy is in the heart of Downtown Dallas at Main and Field Street, is quaint, a little like downtown in Chicago or New York. I enjoyed it because we could talk and visit while eating a wonderful Italian meal. I had Zuppa di Mare. Wonderully delightful, this mix of seafoods and pasta is fresh and light and seasoned to allow the taste of the ocean to come through. I also liked their wine list. Not the biggest, but selected to mix with what you are dining on. If you want Italian, from Italians that are wanting to please...try Ravenna's. Pros: null Cons: null more

Watch your belongings & shady management!! 8/29/2011

I'm upset I have to give this place even 1 star...yes, food was good...but service was lackluster. We figured our server was maybe having a bad night & were as cheerful as we could be with each encounter & tipped him well to hopefully make up for a bad night. more

Lacking integrity and character from leadership! 5/4/2011

This review is not focusing on the food quality, but rather the customer service. My wife and a group of friends ate here nearly 6 weeks ago. While reconciling our monthly bank statement, we noticed we had been overcharged by $2....taken out as a "tip". The bill already had an 18% automatice gratuity applied, and some of the ladies actually left more "cash" on the table when they left. Rather the $2 was intentional or accidental, we'll never know the truth. However the problem is that we have called (my wife 3 time, myself twice) requesting them to take care of this issue. $2 is not going to break our bank, but it's the principle of taking care of customers and making things right when you mess up....which the management of Ravenna has failed to do, even after 5 calls. They have given us so many run-around answers, it's like a child caught stealing bubblegum and trying their best to get out of it. They have asked for the last 4 digits of our card, which we gave them. They have asked for our address, which we gave them. They have even asked for both of them multiple times. I asked the manager if he just threw our info in the trash the last 2 times we've given it to them...obviously since we have not been compensated properly. I would encourage everyone to double check their bank statements carefully, because they could possibly be doing this to severaly hundreds of people each and every day. The food may be grrrrrrrrrrrreat! but the lack of integrity and character from leadership will prevent my family and friends from ever returning! more

their grrrrrrrrrrreat! 11/12/2010

Highly recomend this place... its small, quaint, and desceivingly awesome. Service is better then a 5* high profile chef inspired dinning experience. The food is by far the best Italian food we have had, including anything we have cooked personally!! Need I say more... this is a Must Have!!! more

Ravenna Italian Restaurant 9/20/2010

I was in Dallas for a tradeshow this past week, I had the pleasure of dining at Ravenna with 3 of my co-workers. We were all in agreement that Ravenna served one of the best Italian dinners we had ever tasted. more

They add a tip w/out your authorization!!! 9/17/2010

I came in one night after going to a club. My total came out to $30 total for one box of pizza, 4 bottles of water, and I clearly DID NOT tip since this is a cafeteria style eatery . more

Its very good 7/19/2010

Very delicious. Would go there again. Pros: good atmosphere; competent staff Cons: noisy more

The best pizza in downtown Dallas! 5/6/2010

if you like coalvines, you will love Ravenna downtowns Italian restaurant. the pizza has a nice thin crust, slice or full pie and if you call on a slow night they will deliver the full menu to your door in the 75201 zipcode. so for downtown pizza delivery, fantastic Italian food, great jazz on Thursdays and Tuesdays ( tues 1/2 off btl of wine) go here. they are on the corner of field and ackard in downtown Dallas. yummy! more

My Favorite Spot in Dallas 4/1/2010

Okay Dallas, let me share my favorite place to go in Dallas, HANDS DOWN. First of all the food is so so so good. My mouth is watering as we speak. Ravenna not only hails the best pizza in Dallas, the pastas are to die for. And anytime you're not sure about what's good, Milan will definitely find the right dish for you. The service and the approachability of the staff is amazing. The local patrons are also so great. Prices are good too. It's fine dining at casual prices. There's also a ton of specials during happy hour & reverse happy hour. I could go on forever... Also check out LIVE JAZZ on Tuesdays and LIVE DJ's on the weekends til 4 am!!! Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere, Drinks, Nightlife, Live Music, DJ Cons: NONE more

Great Italian Food! 4/1/2010

I've been to this place many times with my BF, the staff is very nice and servicial, their italian food is the best in the downtown area, they have drinks specials at the bar and they have live jazz on tuesdays with wine specials....which my BF and i love. Also the pizza amazing, thin crust and excelent falvor..this place is worth to visit, don't miss it if you are in downtown. Pros: Excelent for late night drinks...happy hour too. more

Fine dinning for an extreamly good price!!! 4/1/2010

Oh Gosh, there is so many good things about this place. Pros: conviniently located near clubs and valet parking Cons: none more

Great food and service 4/1/2010

So I have been going to Ravenna for 2 years now, and I must say that after 2 visits I felt like a regular. They treat you as if you are part of the gang which makes it a very inviting place to have a drink before the club or make a night of it. The food is great, especially the chicken sorrentino!!! I will continue to visit, and support the fact that they are now bringing live jazz into downtown dallas on tuesdays! Pros: strong drinks, reasonably priced great food, live jazz more

A Downtown Gem 3/31/2010

Ravenna has given Downtown Dallas a bit of what is sorely lacking. A soul. It's brought heart to Downtown in what would otherwise be a sea of clubs and medicore restaurants. Pros: Excellent Staff, food, atmosphere more

Average Food 11/23/2009

Ravenna's is an average place to visit. I'm not sure why it received 4 and 5 stars, unless someone from the restaurant gave it that. The food was nothing special. I could have made the same meal at home, and I have no experience in Italian food. My husband and I were expecting something really fantastic after reading the reviews, and we were both disappointed when we tasted our food. It was nothing like the comments say. I won't return. Pros: Decent price, large portions Cons: bland food more

Best pizza/bar/place to watch 3/9/2009

Really love the food and staff here. my favorite pizza in Dallas. great cross section of clientele- friendly and good for watching. great value. see you there! more

Best Dallas Spot by FAR 2/15/2009

I live downtown and love to try new places. I came upon Ravenna because i wanted a slice of pizza. When i went in the owner Milan greeted me and made me feel like family. The pizza is amazing and now i have been so many times that i have almost tried everything he offers. The calamari is perfect, and the sauce it comes with is legendary. I go there for lunches, dinners, drinks and after the bars close i go there for some late partying. They have a dj on the weekends late and pizza is served til like 330 or something. If you don't go and try it you are missing out on a Downtown Dallas Gem. Pros: Great owner/management, impecable service, amazing food, great original drinks and a classy crowd of people Cons: NONE more
