Mercato Coperto — Restaurant in Ravenna

This is a Must Visit! Why do we not have these in Chicago?! Full butcher shop: lamb, pork, beef - everything. Full fishery - all sorts of fresh cuts. Casual restaurants for sandwiches or Italian foods. And nice “table cloth” spaces too.

We had a sandwich for lunch. Bought fruit and chips at the coop grocery for snacks.

Decided to have dinner at the fish market as their tables we set just slightly more formal and their fresh fish for sale along with their fish salads looked great.

Arrived for dinner. Our name was written on a placard and was holding our table.

Two bags of bread were on the table for us to start. We ordered mussels and a ravioli stuffed with sea bass as n appetizer. The ravioli look more like tortellini and they were stuffed well with white Sea Bass. Delicious. We used bread to soak up the sauce.

Next course was flash fried seafood mix with vegetables for 2. Sooo much food. Also delicious!

Too stuffed for more. Food and two glasses of wine each plus a bottle of water was $90. Can’t beat it!!

Another thing is their menu was really great as it explained a superior way of raising / sourcing the Happy Pigs! and explained all...

Summer 2020- Beautiful- renovation of an old-fashioned space. Now full of light and air, gorgeous food stands (fish, meat, cheese, wine) and several areas to sit for full-service meals or a coffee and snack. The menu for the table-service areas covers all the food items in the market, the staff is friendly and efficient, the food is beautifully prepared, and the prices are reasonable. This is a really nice place to for both browsing and a sit-down meal in the middle of Ravenna. Christmas 2021 - We ordered our Christmas dinner from the Mercato Coperto. Wow! First of all, they were super organized, accommodated our special request, and didn’t even want prepayment for a meal for ten people. Pick-up was flawless: the five courses beautifully packaged, hot, and ready at the appointed time. It was possibly the best, most elegant Christmas dinner we’ve ever had, in any country, and we got to...

We had a nice experience at this restaurant, even though there were a few funny moments. The staff seemed a bit panicked at first because most of them didn’t speak English — only one waiter was able to communicate with us. Because of this, we had to wait a little longer, but everything worked out in the end, and the atmosphere remained pleasant.

We ordered an americano (coffee), but instead, they brought us a cocktail! It was an unexpected but actually very nice surprise. In the end, we got both the cocktail and the coffee — and were charged for both.

I had the cream soup, which was absolutely delicious. Then I tried the fresh wild-caught fish, served with potatoes — and I have to say, it was the best fish I’ve ever eaten.

We also noticed that around 3 PM there were fewer people, which made it even more enjoyable. The total bill came to €60, and it was...
