Welcome Addition to Montgomery County

[David De Silva]

If you are looking for great Italian food and don't want to have to go to Philly (as we used to have to do), check out a new place called Ravenna in Center point (intersection of Rtes 73 and 363). Serving excellent Italian fare from the Emilia Romagna region, Ravenna is a lovely BYOB restaurant that is also reasonably priced. I have eaten there twice as well as their 4 course New Year's Eve menu and have never been disappointed. Their Osso Bucco (at $25, the most expensive item on the menu) is as good as it gets. Add that it's BYOB and it can't be beat. Unfortunately, young and inexperienced wait staff can be frustrating but hey, you can't have it all. Reservations a must on weekends when it gets pretty crowded. Go on a weekday, they have specials everyday.

I missed the DDC dinner there in '04 - has anyone been recently? The 2006 reviews on CitySearch aren't great but I generally think people who review on CitySearch as opposed to eGullet just aren't into food anyway.

We have a gift cert for Ravenna and was thinking about it for a romantic anniversary coming up.

I go often and it's still very good. One of the few good restaurants in the area. Allison at Blue Bell is also excellent.

How would you compare it to La Trinacria? (202, just south of 73.)

I've been a couple times in the last year and would rate the food C+ to B- YMMV.

Best,

I couldn't make a fair comparison as I've only been to Trinacria once, five years ago. I guess that says something.

Where rates an A on your grading curve?

The last time we went to Ravenna I thought the food was a C. Savona would rate an A on my scale.
