Ginger Italian Cafe & Bistrot In Ravenna

You will have a special experience if you stop by this restaurant. The owner and staff provide you with a menu that your pallete deserves, accompanied with a great selection of music. I personally recommend trying the 'Tagliatelle Roberto', it's my favourite dish and I will be back again asking for more!

I held a big birthday celebration at The Ginger Italian in June, the service and atmosphere was amazing the staff couldn’t do enough. The singer we had was amazing and all part of the party package we opted for and all a reasonable cost. To manage to get 70 people all eating at the same time is a credit to the kitchen staff n chefs as that no easy feat, we when all wanted starters, mains n desserts at the same time. I had so many comments on how fab the night was and how nice the food n drinks were. So well done to the Joe, Malou. Ed and all the crew that work so hard to make sure we had a good night.

Great food, very strong drinks! Atmosphere is great but maybe not for those who want a quiet evening!

Fantastic night last night. Thank Malou and team and great music/singer. Jayne

amazing restaurant good food and brilliant staff

nice lunch in London and a reasonable price.

I've visited this restaurant 4 or 5 times since 2019. In lockdown the pizza and prices were great. In general the atmosphere is pleasant and everyone there appears to be enjoying themselves. Its a locals restaurant. I have friends who swear by it for all major celebrations. Unfortunately I've only had bad experiences here. Yet I keep going back to test the water. Main issues are: Service is slow (I've had 1hr waits from ordering to getting good on busy days) Requests made at time of booking and confirmed verbally get missed Food is over priced for quality Not convinced it's all homemade - I get the sense some are bought in like the filled pasta Steak regularly overcooked Regarding requests overlooked, a waitress showed me the printed notes they were given and what was written was summarised to the extreme where it missed the point of the request.

It was my Birthday and I was Turning 33! After a Huge Easter Sunday Gathering the Weekend Prior with Lots of Curry I thought it would be a Good Idea to Celebrate with a Different Cuisine for a Change. Since Grandad loves to Enjoy a Good Italian whilst he is down from Yorkshire I decided I Would Combine the Two and Have a Delicious Italian Birthday Treat, Anyhow I do enjoy my Italian Favourites too. I Arrived at the Restaurant First and as it was Raining I stepped inside to Take my Seat and Instantly took in the Cosy Surroundings with some Pre Photography before the Calvary arrived! Soon After Grandad, Mum and Dad arrived. Unfortunately Sarah was "Nursing" Granny at her Flat after her Cataract Appointment so they were unable to join us. Grandad and Dad then Proceeded to Look at the Menu even though they have been to eat here many times prior (They Cater for Mum's Gluten free), but it was my First Time here even though I'm local. The Atmosphere was Cosy, with Dimmable Warm Lighting that was Reduced throughout the Evening to Create a Cosy Intimate Feel. The Playlist was A Mix of 70s and 80s Disco and Pop with some 90s Whitney Surrounded by the Bee Gees and The Tramps Disco Intherno which appealed greatly to my Eclectic Taste in Music 🙂. We were Practically the Only Diners in the Restaurant apart from Two Blokes who sat outside in the Cold so they could Smoke. For My Starter I Settled on Breaded Goats Cheese - Thick slice of goat's cheese, deep fried in Panko breadcrumbs. Drizzled with honey & served with a sweet tomato relish Once I Enjoyed my Starter Grandad partaked in Conversation on "Today's News" and then it was time to Settle on to our Mains. Me and Grandad Had: Vitello Saltimbocca alla Romana - Veal topside with Parma ham cooked in a pan with demi-glace butter and sage. Served with green beans & mashed potatoes Mum had Using Gluten free Breadcrumbs she had bought with her: Vitello Milanese - Veal topside, pan -fried in flour, egg & panko breadcrumbs. Served with Spaghetti in our homemade tomato & Bolognese sauce. Dad had: 9oz Ribeye Steak & Chips - 28 days matured, cooked how you like and topped with garlic butter. Served with French fries and 1/2 grilled tomato To Drink I had 7 Up Zero, Dad a Diet Coke, Grandad a House Wine and Mum a Rosé, all washed down with Water. Once We had had Finished our Delicious Main Course some of us Ordered Dessert with Dad having a Lemon Sorbet. Along with the Desserts Came the Climax! 🤣🤣....... My Birthday 🎂 Cake Accompanied by 3 Fiery Sparklers, Modern Happy Birthday Tune on the Sound System, along with Very Enthusiastic Singing from the Head Female Restauranteur and her Team accompanied by Clapping! It was such a Fun, Relaxed Cheery Atmosphere!! 🙂🙂. The Cake was a Simple Gluten free (for Mum) Waitrose Sponge and I was served Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream to go with the cake, (even though I had selected a Dessert to have from the Menu Online prior to the Evening! - I will just have to come back for it. What a Fun Chilled Lively Atmosphere was Had throughout the Evening! - The Female Head Restauranteur was Singing to Whitney's, I Want to Dance with Somebody, Whopping and All Cheerful and Happy 😊. Actually the Restaurant has Live Singers and Tribute Acts on Certain Thursdays and Fridays throughout each Month with the highlight being an Elvis Tribute Act coming up soon! So the Fun Chilled Family Relaxed Atmosphere is Part of the Ethos of Restaurant which is Nice. Very Homely 🙂. ....... And So What an Evening!! 🤣. An Enjoyable "Low Key" Affair. I Must Go Back for More especially as I'm Local. PS: Grandad Celebrated his 90th Birthday here as part of his Celebrations and he was Treated to Birthday Singing too. 🎂 - 🇮🇹 🍴 --- Normally Bring Your Own Birthday Cake is Not Allowed but they made an Exception as the Cake was already handed in without the Head Restauranteur realising ---

Great night will be going again

Was okay. A bit pricey for what it is. Went with a group. Some of the food was good, some not so good. Wouldn’t go again if I’m honest. Went to this place a few times a couple of years ago and it was great. Was looking forward to tonight. And was disappointed.
