Ravioli & Co

Revel in a hearty and authentic Italian spread surrounded by cozy interiors at Ravioli & Co. where rustic flavours meet premium ingredients.

Tucked away in DIFC’s Burj Daman, this newly opened dining spot serves wholesome Italian classics, including daily home-made pasta and sauces, in a warm and friendly environment. Fresh pasta speaks of passion and creativity, tradition and Italian values that have spanned generations, which are brought to life at this eatery.

Steeped in tradition, Ravioli & Co. is the emirate’s first traditional trattoria, a cosy family-run Italian eatery (that is less formal than a ristorante, but more formal than an osteria).

Staying true to its character and insistence on offering an authentic and homely experience, it is warmly furnished with aged wooden tables, old flooring and open ceilings. From dainty lace pillows to charming, rusty chandeliers – no detail was spared.

The Italians definitely do it better.

Whether you’re a stickler for classic brunch timings or choose to make an evening of it, make sure you bring mamma, tutta la famiglia or a group of friends for a traditional and authentic experience.

We ordered the following items:

Fungi Gratinati
Price: 75 Dhs
Rating: 5/5
Verdict: This hearty dish features baked mushrooms filled with a delightful blend of breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic and Pecorino cheese on shallots cream sauce. A must try!

Battuta Di Fassona Con Tartufo
Price: 135 Dhs
Rating: 3.5/5
Verdict: This is the steak tartare, as we know it, with a twist. The chef serves hand-chopped fassona beef tartare with shaved black truffle. I am a huge fan of steak tartare and rarely refuse it when available on the menu, however, this version was too oily and bland for me. It was practically drenched in oil – Hence the points deducted.

Zuppa Di Cipolla
Price: 40 Dhs
Rating: 3.5/5
Verdict: This Italian onion soup is served with asiago cheese and croutons. Slightly too thick for my liking

Gnocchi Alla Romana Con Tartufo Nero
Price: 94 Dhs
Rating: 4/5
Verdict: It’s the ultimate comfort dish: Baked semolina gnocchi served with taleggio sauce and black truffle.

Ravioli Rustico
Price: 85 Dhs
Rating: 5/5
Verdict: Ravioli stuffed with chicken and mushroom, served with its signature mushroom and truffle sauce. It’s a signature for a reason!

Lasagna Tradizionale Con Ragu Di Fassona
Price: 95 Dhs
Rating: 5/5
Verdict: The absolute safe choice for any indecisive diner. Ravioli & Co’s version uses fassona beef ragout and has it baked to perfection with asiago cheese.

Cappellacci Di Zucca Con Porcini
Price: 87 Dhs
Rating: 4.5/5
Verdict: This classic combines pumpkin and ricotta stuffings with a delightful porcini sauce.

Millefoglie
Price: 38 Dhs
Rating: 2/5
Verdict: My least favourite dish of the evening. This dish consists of puff pastry layers (that are too thick) with custard and strawberries.

Tiramisu Con Nutella
Price: 49 Dhs
Rating: 4/5
Verdict: A creative version of this creamy and thick

Fresh carrot juice
Price: 26 Dhs
Rating: 5/5
Verdict: I appreciate the little attention to details and when restaurants go the extra mile to deliver a unique experience. This carrot juice was served with a slice of dried orange and a leaf of basil – A perfect and somewhat unexpect match! Absolutely love it.
