Al Cairoli — Restaurant in Ravenna

A wonderfully refined dining establishment where everything has been thought out and focused on providing a great dining experience. This wonderful restaurant just steps from the piazza del poppolo is a quiet refined space perfect for a great meal. The interior is housed in an old hat shop where those cabinets now display the wines and provide a very nice backdrop. There is soft piano music playing and the tables are large enough to provide plenty of room for your dishes nor are they packed in. The service is friendly, crisp and professional. The wine list has something for everyone. The bread basket is home made and it shows. We were each given a complementary vegetarian meatball which was very good,We ordered the tortellini with a an aged Parmesan sauce. This is an excellent version of this dish. The tortellini were obviously hand made, cooked perfectly al dente and the flavor worked beautifully with the Parmesan.

We tried the tiramisu for dessert. A tiramisu that has been tweaked with a bit more mascarpone and amazing chocolate shavings. Proving a perfect dish can be improved Overall just an excellent experience at a place that hits all the...

What does a small menue mean in a beautiful restaurant? It is a sign that food is highly respected in this place, that they care about their products, that they know exactly what they are doing and place quality over quantity - like in Al Cairoli in Ravenna.

When the manager took our wine order, opened the bottle, tasted the wine prior to let us taste it and then placed the cork next to our first wine glasses, we understood that they achieve high standards in all categories. A restaurant will become especially precious to its guests should they manage to create a first-time experience especial in the gastronomic, culinary aspect. The food we had was excellent and the desert of pistacchio tiramisu was breath-taking, a first-time we will hardly ever forget. Grazie tanto a tutto il Team di...

We were old we had to arrive promptly at 7,30 pm and be gone by 9.15, which was not a problem - but we waited an hour for a main course..and there are only 5 tables, 3 of the. 5 tables were not happy with their food and the management seemed indifferent. Worst meal in Ravenna and all other restaurants were very...
