Right across from the station, it has an outdoor veranda; we ate in the first-floor dining room.
The service was courteous and impeccable; they helped my wife, who has some food intolerances, choose from several options. We were both very satisfied (grilled mutton with grilled vegetables and passatelli with fossa cheese and truffle, both excellent). The only flaw was the house wine (the only option, 350ml), which wasn't to my taste.
The price was fair for the amount served, and, I repeat, the service was impeccable. Highly recommended.

We were passing through and stumbled upon this place. It's a very cute and well-kept place. We had the agnolotti, and they were delicious. Congratulations on the welcome. It's true that Romagna hospitality is the best.

A restaurant with a refined and welcoming atmosphere, conveniently located across from the train station. The culinary offerings focus on quality over quantity: the dishes are tasty, beautifully presented, and carefully prepared, although the portions are not particularly generous.
The full lunch, including a first course, second course, dessert, water, and a glass of wine for €55, is overall appropriate for the setting and the level of cuisine, especially for those seeking a refined and well-balanced dining experience. Professional service and a quiet atmosphere make Il Paiolo a good choice for a relaxed lunch, perhaps before or after a trip.

Top-notch, no need to say more.
I ordered a seafood pasta dish for €20. I thought it would be a small plate, since that's about the price in Paris. But the lady brought me a plate bigger than my face! I almost couldn't finish it. For someone like me who "must eat my fill," this is the epitome of luxury.
Before leaving, I went over to say goodnight, and the owner immediately chased me back and said, "How about a shot?" She poured us both a limoncello. Wow, that was amazing! It was so delicious it made my mouth water (Zhu Jun's comment). I never expected such kindness from just a simple "goodnight." Thumbs up!
Eat, you have to eat!

I was on the phone with Niki when I missed the hourly train by a minute, so I just stopped by. The seafood pasta was amazing. No one spoke English, but I was greeted with a warm welcome, which made me feel happy.

Just a short stroll from Ravenna’s train station, Osteria Il Paiolo is one of the city’s most warmly recommended spots for traditional Romagnolo cuisine in a relaxed yet polished setting.
The menu focuses on classic Romagna fare prepared with quality, local ingredients. Homemade pastas like strozzapreti, tagliatelle, cappelletti and ravioli are consistently praised, and seafood – especially Adriatic catches – features prominently alongside meat dishes and rich antipasti.

Long wait, stove on the veranda inefficient, but good food, especially the starters, spaghetti cacio e pepe with prawns and truffle.
