Ravello Osteria in Monterey Park

This place is so good that I wanna slap someone every time I take a bite of food.They bring you some bread drizzled in some pesto when you site down. Delicious! I can’t believe it’s complementary.We ordered the lobster linguini, spaghetti carbonara, spaghetti w/ tomato basil and garlic along with a couple pizzas. All soooooo good that I was ready to slap something. Tastebuds were overloading with the feel goods.I’ve been to other osterias all over Los Angeles and this is easily my favorite out of all of them.I read somewhere that the owner brought the pizza oven over from Italy. I’m sure it adds to the flavor of the food.This is a cash only establishment but there is an ATM on site.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine in LA, this is the place to go!The blanco pizza, the carbonara pasta, and the steak are one of the best I’ve ever had. Such beautiful dishes with rich taste and flavor.The service is also so good and they make you feel at home! I love this place and am now a frequent guest!Disclaimer: it is cash only!! But they do have an atm inside!

Ambiance was fun. My first time here. Our waiter was fantastic! He helped us choose our food. Ribeye steak was delicious. Cooked to perfection 😋 Arigula salad was on point! And taramisu was oh so good. Thank you. We will be back to try everything else on the menu. 😀

I think i will start off by saying first impressions are everything. Super friendly staff with great customer service. On this visit we had Ribeye that was very delicious and 💯% on point . We also ordered 2 pizzas that were one of the best pizzas i have had. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for great food and wonderful ambiance.

Monterey Park doesn’t come to mind when you ask someone where great Italian restaurants are at. Thank goodness for Ravello Osteria!!! We started with what looked like pizza dough with pesto or basil sauce. I forget because we inhaled it before figuring out what the dish was called. We ordered the all stars of their menu because it tasted like they hit it out of the ballpark once they all came in. We shared a pasta dish one with and one without truffle oil ( because I’m allergic to it, yeah woe is me) the Penne Pasta with Organic Chicken and the Linguini Marsala. I could smell the truffle oil so much that I cried on the inside because I couldn’t have any. We also were impressed with the Baby Mix Salad which just had the right amount of tart in the dressing to balance the rest of the carbs we took in for the night. Our friends had the Seared Organic Chicken Breast which looked tantalizing. Our son got his expected Pepperoni pizza but we ordered the other half to be the Porco pizza so we wouldn’t be denied. All in all we had a great meal and together with their great service it helped offset their lack of parking space which is unfortunate. Molto bene!!!

Its definitely for real. Make sure you get the chili sauce, I got extra and a couple days later put it in a hamburger and on French fries. My favorite thing by far was the Marsala pasta. The regular pizza wasnt that great, just average but their neapolitan pizza was very good. Pesto bread is very dangerous!!! I went with a first generation Italian immigrant and she was very impressed with the food

Tip: this place is CASH ONLYFood 4/5Service 5/5Cleanliness 4/5Menu 4/5Very nice hole in the wall restaurant! Was craving Italian and I definitely got my fix. We got the pork wings, penne, carbonara, linguine marsala, and rib eye. They messed up our order but the server was very nice about it. They gave us the drinks and dessert on the house! Absolutely fantastic I would be back for more 🙂

Lobster pasta was delicious, easily enough for two people. My wife had the Pasta carbonara and it was very tasty. Corkage is $15 so we brought a bottle of wine. Accoutics in the place make for a very noisy environment. Very busy place. Staff is helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend a visit.

So loved my first time here. Delicious flavored dishes. The staff was awesome. Slendid for family gatherings or meet up meal with friends. The experience and atmosphere was warm comfy homestyle family style. Loved everything.

Flavor, flavor flavor! First time here! We came for the pork chop entree, but when we saw a customer with a pizza, we ordered that too. We ordered a Margherita pizza and it was phenomenal. Our server, Mina, told us that we’ll never be able to order any where else and I have to say I think he is right. We’ve ordered pizza from Juliana’s and Grimaldi’s in New York and Ravello Osteria Margherita pizza beat them both. No annoying lines of people trying to order pizza at Ravello. We also ordered their pork chop entree. The pork chop was full of flavor and complimented the mashed potatoes!We will be back to try more items on their menu. Mina and Alfred are friendly, personable, and made us first timers feel welcomed! If in the area, you need to stop by! If you have an entree in mind…order it right away as the flavors take some time to come together.This place is casual! CA$H Only and they have an ATM inside. Parking is a challenge. Hope you enjoy!
