Raval In Ancona

A perfect place for a convivial aperitif in Piazza del Papa

Everything was perfect, delicious drinks and Tomas was number one.

My favorite place in Ancona. Perfect service, specialty cocktails, and prices in line with the offerings in the main square. Tomas in the dining room is too loud! Highly recommended.

Good quality food, cocktails to be reviewed and excessive prices.

We had a really good time, there were two of us, and we ate inside. Nice atmosphere, very friendly people, and very good tapas. We'll be back soon.

We found Raval by chance & it wasn't yet opened on the day. Having tapas in Italy is unusual so we decided to come back for dinner at 5pm, turned out to be a highlight of our trip to Ancona Italy. We decided on a menu offer of 6 Tapas + Bottle of Wine for 48,00€. Our choices were: Roman-Style Meatballs, Ascolana olives, Mozzarella, Arancini, Veal with tuna sauce, and Mixed cutting board. All dishes were tasty & served very quickly after our order (considering we were the first customers ordering food a few minutes after 5pm). Veal with tuna sauce was a "melt in the mouth" texture, the meat slices were poached beautifully & still slightly pink, tuna sauce was tasty & not overpowering. Prosciutto & cheese in Mixed cutting board were served with some honey that cuts the saltiness nicely. Our wine choice was a Rose from Moroder Winery, which accompanied the tapas nicely. Adding to our good meal was the Latin covers of popular songs in Jazz styles, my feet were happily tapping to the rhythm. Despite some language difficulty, the staff was attentive & friendly. I was glad I asked the young man sitting at a table outside Raval about its opening hours, because he turned out to be one of the waiting staff.

I went for an aperitif with my wife at this charming place located in Piazza del Plebiscito in Ancona. The square is very charming, small and intimate, surrounded by restaurants of all kinds and tastes. Raval has informal indoor tables and outdoor tables, with heat lamps in the cooler months. The place specializes in aperitifs. The tapas are excellent; I recommend them, especially the eggplant meatballs and the tempura shrimp. We also ordered a substantial menu to accompany the aperitif. Everything was delicious, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
