Very friendly and helpful staff, great menu (seafood, fish and meat) with lots of variety and the food was delicious. All the pasta is made on site and it really shows. The waiter helped us choose our wine and it was delicious. All round - a winner. Would go again.

The meal was exceptionally delicious! We had the fresh mushrooms fried and sardines as the antipasto. Both were superb! We then tried the spaghetti with prawns and truffles. It was magnificent. For truly wonderful Italian cooking, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

The best Osteria in Ravenna. Every chance I have to visit Ravenna I always go to Il Paiolo. Pure Italian tastes prepared and served in perfection. The best!

Friendly and helpful staff. Shot of local Limoncello when we were leaving was an added bonus to a great meal. Recommended wine at E28 was also great. Only problem is they were closed the next night when we wanted to return.

Service was excellent, and fast. Food was great, was shared caprese bufola with tomato. Each had a mixed salad with oil and Balsamic, the standard dressing in Itlay. I had the black pork chop, it was probably the best chop I've ever had. My son got a steak with shaved parmesan, he said it was very good. I also had Icnusa beer, from Sardinia, no wine this night. Highly recommend this place, loved it.

This was the perfect restaurant for our one night in Ravenna. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. I highly recommend any of their freshly made pasta dishes! We had the rabbit and three different pasta dishes. All the pasta was excellent.

This rating is based on some things that were beyond the restaurants control and others that were. First I’ll tell what really was not the total fault of the restaurant: Right after we were seated, a young couple with an undisciplined 3 yr old was seated right beside us. Thankfully, after the temper tantrums were calmed by placing an iPad in his face, that drama calmed down, even with occasional outburst screams and yells as he watched the videos. Now on to the food: it was great and it was terrible. The steak tartare was fabulous as an opener. Our two pasta dishes were out of this world. My wife had the ravioli with truffle sauce. I had Tagliatelle with Porcini mushrooms. They were both outstanding. We should have stopped there. We both ordered the fish catch of the day which was a mixed seafood platter. It was tasteless and dry. It seemed like it was way overcooked and sat around in the kitchen before until served. It was terrible. So 5 stars for the appetizer and pastas and a 0 for the main course.

Excellent quality of food, fine taste. We got the tartare salmon - tuna which was perfect in taste, presentation and assortiments. Also the melon prosciutto and tagliatelle funghi porcini. For those who appreciate fine taste, strongly recommended.

The best seafood I have ever tasted! It's better to make reservations because the restaurant is almost full every evening. We had a great time there twice. Highly recommended!

The food was fine and the ambiance was very good--I especially liked how the kitchen and food preparation area was clearly visible from the dining room. Although initially very good, the service became a bit slow once more diners entered. However, I did not feel especially ignored, and the staff was friendly.

The food and service was excellent. We had the warm seafood salad and caprese salad as appetizers, and a pasta and sliced beef with mushrooms as our main courses. Everything was delicious. They also have a very good wine selection.
