Instant confirmation or on request: what actually changes
On the same page, two restaurants can behave in two different ways. The difference isn’t cosmetic: it’s whether the table is yours or not.

Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t
Here a review is tied to a meal that took place. It is an inconvenient rule — it shuts a lot of people out — and everything that «all verified» can promise lives inside it.

Eating in Ravenna
Ravenna is Romagna, and in Romagna the first thing to eat is bread cooked on a hot plate.
The piadina
Piadina Romagnola IGP is eaten filled: squacquerone DOP and rocket, or ham, or sausage and onion. In Ravenna it is thinner than in Rimini — a difference people here notice, and defend.
The pasta
- Cappelletti, in broth or with ragù;
- Passatelli, made of breadcrumbs, parmesan and egg;
- Strozzapreti and garganelli, with ragù or vegetables.
From the sea and the lagoons
The port and the Comacchio lagoons give eel, mantis shrimp, poveracce (the local clams) and cuttlefish with peas. The wine is Sangiovese di Romagna and Albana DOCG, the first Italian white to be given that status.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
