Best Italian Restaurants in Ravenswood

I went here for an early afternoon holiday lunch with my husband, my sister and her partner. We had the best time. Seating was on time, the service fabulous, and the food was outstanding! That seafood tower is everything, and I mean everything. The best I’ve ever had, and we could have ended it there, as it was that plentiful, but fortunately we had already ordered the chicken parm pizza, the ricotta, and the fusilli and pesto pasta dishes. (I think subconsciously we were trying to recreate our big holiday family meal that we didn’t get to have this year.) I got to taste most of everything and it was all just amazing, especially that homemade pasta! Needless to say, there were plenty of yummy leftovers to go. Quality Italian, I thank you for the great experience from beginning to end. You really made our day!

Bad Roman is a true gem! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance set the stage for an incredible dining experience – chic, inviting, and effortlessly cool. But the real magic was in the food. Every dish was a flavor bomb, exploding with creativity and perfectly balanced flavors in every bite. The attention to detail and bold choices in the menu make this restaurant stand out.

From the moment we arrived as a party of 8, we were treated wonderfully. Our table was ready early, which was a very nice surprise. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. we ordered drinks, full size orders of baked clams, stuffed mushrooms, and fried calamari for appetizers. All delicious! We ordered full orders of chicken parm, eggplant parm, and chicken Franchaise,, penne with broccoli, garlic, and oil, and rigatoni ala vodka for dinner. It was definitely plenty of food for all and everything was perfectly cooked. For dessert we ordered the family sized strawberry shortcake and chocolate decadence desserts which were huge and the absolute best we have ever eaten anywhere…sooo fresh! We were amazed that the bill was so reasonable too!!! We were expecting it to be a lot more for the amount of food and drinks we got! Tony’s is our new go-to whenever we come to the city from here on in! Definitely worth every penny and more! Great food, great service and great friends-the perfect night!! We will definitely be back!

I have walked by this restaurant for years. Always on a mission somewhere in Manhattan. I always stay at the Warwick and now finally on Christmas Eve, we went for dinner. It did not disappoint. Many thanks to the maitre’d who accepted my request for a different table. Food, service, ambience, five star. It may have taken me a long time to get there, but it won’t be too long until I’ll be back.

Great food and service was 10/10. Would recommend!
