Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful setting, wonderful food, service & ambience. Couldn’t fault it. Staff were so friendly without being obtrusive. Best Italian we have eaten in by far.

One of the best Italians ive eaten at, EVER. All 4 dishes served to our table were cooked to perfection and packed with flavour. Will definitely visit again when in BoA. The restaurant setting is so comfortable too, old cotswold stone building creates a unique...ambience.More

We had stayed the weekend in Bradford upon Avon as a base for visiting the Bath Christmas Market and decided to have lunch here before setting off for home 2.5 hours drive away. Ravello looked nice from the outside. We were lucky to get a...table, waiter was very obliging and happy to make the effort to accommodate us. The menu sounded tempting, we chose Mezzi Rigattoni Con ' Nduja Pancetta - which was exceptional. Also shared some delicious garlic flat bread. The service was excellent and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended, we will certainly return if/ when we are next in the area.More

Probably some of the best food I’ve had in a long time, especially the chocolate fondant. I could have that morning noon and night and never be sick of it. There was a huge selection and the staff were all incredibly kind. Very cosy vibes,...just what we needed.More

We visited on Saturday lunchtime as a group of 7. We were seated upstairs in a really cosy area. The restaurant was lovely decorated, the tables were spaced out so we had room. We liked the Venice mask upstairs. The waiter was very attentive and...friendly. I had a hot chocolate which was a good big size. We ordered garlic bread which we all enjoyed. On our table we had lasagne, a pasta dish and pizzas. We all enjoyed our food. We would recommend.More

This is going to be a short one because if I tell you all the great things about this restaurant, it would be less a review than a book of Dickensesque proportions! A lovely restaurant in a lovely building in a lovely town. The staff...are professional and friendly; we were certainly well looked after. The food is wonderful, traditional Italian fare for the most part, cooked to perfection, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. I can highly recommend the Linguine Ravello, a perfect amalgam of king prawns, muscles, et al, a fantastic seafood dish. The other dishes are perfection too. You like rich meaty lasagna? One of the best I have had. The ravioli of the day? A wonder whatever the filling. And don't get me started on the profiteroles! All in all, a constant delight. If you haven't guessed, this is highly recommended.More

We found ourselves in the centre of Bradford on Avon and looked at the Tripadvisor Reviews. Ravello easily lived up to expectations an ratings. Food is fresh and imaginative, the decor is pleasing and the service is efficient. Taste wise the fare is a cut...above the rest. Good value too.More

Wow, what a superb lunch for our special anniversary family occasion. The food was absolutely excellent, the staff were so friendly and attentive and the service was spot on. The chef is totally amazing! We received a fantastic welcome and on realising it was our...anniversary, they treated us to a glass of prosecco on the house. Our main courses were divine (we chose the risottos and lasagne) and our dessert was accompanied by beautifully crafted personal anniversary message, which was a really lovely touch. Ravello has become our No. 1 Italian restaurant and we will be back very soon. Highly recommend!More

The booking for a midweek evening meal for 2 was made via the internet and proved to be quick, easy and efficient. It is suggested that no matter when you are going to this restaurant that a reservation is made in advance to ensure you...get a table. The restaurant is easy to find being in the main road through Bradford on Avon, by the bridge over the river Avon, with a public car park (3 hour maximum) available near-by. The outside of this historic stone building is flower festooned and atmospheric, whilst inside there is plenty of character throughout with interesting nooks and crannies; overall it has a warm and cosy atmosphere. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks with tables over 3 floors and though they are well spread out it can become quite noisy (echoes) at times, especially if a large party is taking place. On arrival we were greeted and shown to our table; the service throughout was very attentive, but discrete and not intrusive, leaving us feeling relaxed and unhurried Their menu was excellent, not overly extensive and did contain a good selection of distinctive Italian classics and seafoods that covered something for all tastes. The drinks menu was again inclusive, but predominately Italian wine orientated, as one would expect. They also have a good selection of spirits and ports that would also suit most tastes. All dishes are made from scratch, featuring seasonal and local ingredients cooked fresh to order. Well worth the wait as they were good quality, well presented to a high standard (compliments to the chef on this), with decent portions being served and were considered good value for money. Items of note from our chosen dishes included the mains of ‘Branzino Ravello’ (Fresh fileted sea bass served with king prawns, mussels, cherry tomatoes, new potatoes) and the desert of ‘Fodente al Cioccolato’ (Warm chocolate fondant with a gooey chocolate filling served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream (allow 10 minutes to prepare)). I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant and would use it again when visiting the area.More
