Da Matteo In Ravenna

I was disappointed with the seafood spaghetti: the sauce was salty, the spaghetti overcooked, and, most importantly, it was full of mussels and missing a single clam. The lobster and shrimp were absolutely a no-no because they were difficult to handle and the intestines weren't clean. What a shame!

The perfect morning on the beach ended with a delightful lunch at Matteo's, in a refined and elegant setting. Superlative dishes, and the house white wine was also very pleasant. I'll be back!

We'd heard about this place and wanted to try it, without booking on a Sunday lunch. The welcome was friendly but a bit rushed, perhaps because there was only one person serving. The place is unique; the double staircase is beautiful, but the furnishings are starting to look a bit dated, especially the upholstered chairs, which have lost their padding and become sagging and uncomfortable after a while. I'm not sure what the huge ceramic fish on the tables have to do with everything else, but I'll go with it. Let's get to the important thing: the food. We ate well, the cod was excellent, and the gratin was tasty and unique (though I'd recommend varying the vegetables more and leaving out the crabs, which are awkward to eat; in my opinion, they make little sense with the breading). Next came the risotto, well-cooked and tasty, but presented in a way that left us feeling a bit unsatisfied. The portion was far too generous, but it was thrown onto the plate haphazardly; it should have been served with a little more care...looks matter too. A young wine accompanied the meal nicely. The prices are a little higher than average, but that's acceptable for the dishes served. The downside, however, is the cover charge. €5 per person seemed way too much, and with the limited staff, the service suffered a bit. We'll be back to try other dishes, hopefully with a little more attention to detail.

A truly excellent place, from the friendliness of the staff to the quality and flavor of the dishes, an intimate and private atmosphere even though you have a view of the main street, a quality not available to everyone. I'm happy to have discovered this restaurant.

F a n t a s t i c! We ate our fill of fish in an elegant restaurant with knowledgeable staff.

everything was very good, I will be back

the best of Ravenna and its province

The location is very beautiful and elegant, the staff is friendly, the wait is a bit long, the prices are a bit high, the fish gratin as an appetizer did not satisfy me, very expensive compared to the quantity and type of fish presented: the scallop was tiny, the calamari tasteless and the crab obviously more skin than meat, the first course was very good! And also the mixed fried food was good and plentiful... Too bad, I leave this review in a constructive spirit

HOT EVENING WITHOUT WIND EVEN THOUGH WE WERE OUTSIDE WE WERE DYING OF HEAT AND THOSE SERVING WERE VERY STRESSED ABOUT THIS - WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE WASN'T AT LEAST 2 FANS WHICH, BY MOVING THE AIR, WOULD HAVE IMPROVED THE THERMAL STRESS - WHAT A SHAME!!

I was in Marina di Ravenna for a day at the beach, in the evening I decided to go to this restaurant, they put us outside under the pergola, tables well spaced and summer sea breeze, a very calm climate in short spectacular evening, two of us decide to have the paella: that was enough for us for the quantity of fish and rice, 4 people can eat very well, full of fish and skewers; everything very fresh and the saffron rice with vegetables delicious, really well done! It is not usual for me to leave a review, but these 5 stars are deserved both for quality, goodness and service and cleanliness of the restaurant. I can't wait to come back! thanks
