Circolo Velico Ravennate In Ravenna

A delightful discovery right on the charming Marina di Ravenna dock. Inside the Circolo Velico Ravennate lies a jewel of a restaurant whose strength lies above all in its hospitality and service: a relaxed, unstressed staff, always ready to satisfy customers, young and old. The menu offers freshly prepared dishes in every course and is not overly extensive, with a few first courses and a few second courses featuring fresh seafood and a pleasant touch of originality. Very flavorful first courses include passatelli with mantis shrimp sauce and tagliolini with crab. The grilled sea bass is simple and delicious, but the real highlight is the artichoke alla giudia on tuna tartare, a delightful combination of sweet and savory and a perfect contrast between soft and crunchy—a truly brilliant idea. The tiramisu and the vanilla ice cream with black cherries are also excellent. Prices are fair and in line with the quality.

Nice restaurant overlooking the harbor. Friendly service, very good appetizers, but terrible first courses. It's a shame the pasta was so overcooked, which lowered the review score. The second courses, which we didn't order, looked good. Recommended for the appetizers (maybe also for the second courses), but if I were to return, I wouldn't order the first courses.

I went for lunch during the week. It's a wonderful place for those who love the sea, with a view of the dock. I had a dish that was truly intoxicating: spaghetti with scampi ragù, lemon, almonds, and scampi tartare. Delicious, but not for everyone. I'll definitely return.

It's a classic restaurant overlooking the marina, serving excellent Ravenna cuisine, a great wine selection, delicious desserts, a very pleasant atmosphere, and a panoramic view of the harbor. A great experience.
