The garlic bread was served warm and the minestrone soup was just as good as we remembered. This time, I ordered the angel hair Alfredo, and unfortunately it was very underwhelming. The sauce was incredibly bland and lacked seasoning, which was disappointing because I was really looking forward to it. Taste just like milk. I think with a little more flavor or seasoning it could have been a great dish. Overall, the service and ambiance were enjoyable, and we'd be willing to come back to try other menu items again.

Went in excited for a nice Italian dinner, left frustrated. The food was fine, but the service was…read morea joke. Our server didn't actually serve us -- they just passed plates on the table without a word, no "here's your pasta" or check-in after. Nobody offered drinks the entire night. We had to flag someone down for water, and even then we only got one refill. No wine list, no "can I get you anything else," nothing. Felt like we were at a cafeteria, not a sit-down restaurant. If you're paying Italian restaurant prices, you expect hospitality. We didn't get any. Won't be back

Ravello Osteria was a pleasant surprise out of nowhere. I've never been or even heard of it, even…read morethough it's been there for a long time. We met for a family dinner - party of 16. We arrived when they opened at 5p and sat in one of their communal tables. It was a hot day and the AC wasn't up to the challenge. With the oven, the crowd and weather, it was rather warm inside. However, I guess it replicated an authentic dining experience in Italy. The restaurant became packed shortly afterwards and the conversations and laughter echoed vibrantly. It felt like we were in Italy. Our server, Alfred, was a pro and a delight. He took care of us without breaking a sweat and always with a smile. We tried many pizzas, salads and pastas. Everything was delish. What really caught my eye was the ribeye steak, which we didn't try. It's a monster ribeye at a very reasonable price. It looked amazing. I have no doubt I will be scarfing down one of those in the near future. I highly recommend a visit if you haven't been. Go hungry and know the portions are generous.

Family night called for Italian, and Ravello Osteria delivered a solid meal. Just a heads-up it's…read morecash only, so come prepared. We started with the meatballs and pork wings. The meatballs were flavorful, tender, and a great way to kick off dinner. The pork wings, though, just weren't for me I'd pass on those next time. The arugula salad was fresh and balanced, and we paired everything with a couple of IPAs, which hit the spot. For the mains, the Carbonara was rich, creamy, and exactly what you'd expect from a comforting pasta dish. The standout of the night was the Amatriciana pizza easily my favorite. Crispy crust, great flavor, and one of those pizzas you keep reaching back for. Overall, if you're looking for a local Italian spot for a relaxed Sunday family dinner, this place is worth checking out. Good food, cozy atmosphere, and enough highlights to bring us back. Solid 4 stars.

So very disappointed. Not only have I been eating here for decades, but continued to order from…read morehere pretty regularly... until they continuously messed up our order. The last 3 times they've at least attempted to rectify their mistake... meaning we had to make a 2nd trip to pick-up whatever it was they forgot. So we took a break... sad because we always enjoy the food. Foolishly, we decided to try again... and again they messed up our order... this time they didn't put chicken on our pasta. It seems whoever took the order didn't write it down... wish I could say this was a big surprise! So we were fully willing to pay the difference and make the 2nd trip once again. But because it was near closing that was not made an option... just a sorry and goodbye. So now... after 6pm on Sunday, we are thinking of what 2nd meal we will have to purchase and pick up.... because this plain pasta is just not going to feed the 2 of us. We have so few options already in Montebello and we always prefer to support local small businesses.... but REALLY??? How do you consistently get it wrong??? Well I guess quantity is more important than quality... so unfortunately now we have 1 less option.

Saw the reviews and had been recommended to check it out so I finally went. Safe to say I was satisfied. Good amount of food for what you pay. Fresh and tasty. They have some seating area inside. I walked but it seems like they have parking in the back because people were entering through the back door. I ordered the Mombo plate which is a choice of sub and 2 sides. For sub I ordered THE 58 CLASSIC and as sides I had their Garlic Pesto Potato Salad and Purple Cabbage. Both good but very garlic centered, I love garlic so I don't mind but maybe next time I'll get something else to balance it better. Service was good. They greeted and answered any questions I had and offered their advice or recommendations when I asked for some.

It was the most private and intimate date we ever experienced. It was so thoughtful and sweet of them to still take us as guests. They did not rush us and was so attentive and friendly throughout the entire experience - seriously unmatched service The chef making the pasta table side said we came at the perfect time because it does get extremely busy The appetizers, main course and dessert were all a hit. Everything so flavorful and hit all the right taste buds.

There is plenty of parking in their lot or on the street. We ended up talking a lot and our poor server came back often to see if we were ready for drinks or appetizers. Thank you for your patience. We ended up splitting a bottle of wine and ordered the caprese. The caprese was so fresh and even had pesto in the middle. It was a great start to dinner. We were even given rolls with butter as well. We actually chose this place because they have a cheese wheel and no one ended up ordering that. They also were very attentive and refilled our water without us asking. I got the rigatoni a las vodka with chicken, and my two other friends got the baked rigatoni and the fettuccine Alfredo. Our dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the chocolate Gelato and tiramasu for dessert. Those were a perfect night cap to our dinner and catch up session. The restaurant is deceptively big and had a whole back area, I am guessing for large parties. It was very clean and we were able to catch up without any issues. I definitely recommend coming here for the food and excellent service.

I've tried numerous dishes here and haven't been disappointed. Their pastas, salads, and lasagna are really good. I could eat the garlic bread all day! They have a robot server that brings the food to your table; then the server hands it too you. Not sure if it creates efficiency, but is novel at the very least. I've been here once for dinner and it wasn't too busy, but most of the time I'm here for lunch. There seems to be a little lunch crowd, but it's never overcrowded and service is never impacted.

Disappointing. Initial impression: more attention needs to…read morebe paid by the staff. The menus were less than pristine, and one had prices crossed off and new prices inserted in pencil. One of the fork/knife/napkin wraps was dirty. The staff itself is slow and taciturn - neutral instead of friendly or welcoming. It's a cavernous space which is quite noisy when very many tables are occupied. Dishes are brought out by a cute robot (which also plays "Happy Birthday") with the staff actually serving the items. Again, the robot was less than pristine. The food was pedestrian. Most of the items did not have a "home made" look or taste. The house sauce was on many things and was unremarkable. Some items were close to inedible: as an example, in an order of chicken parmesan, the chicken was very thin, tough, and stringy, and the coating was overcooked. Interestingly, it was served with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and carrots instead of pasta. In a final negative note, a 3% "Restaurant Management Fee" was added to the bill. None of our party can recall any mention of that before the bill was presented. Not a place we will return to.

I've eyeballed this beautifully nestled restaurant several times over the last few months…read more Time and time again I said "I've really got to check that place out". Well, that time FINALLY came! My sister and I were hanging out reminiscing over our late mother together, on her birthday and decided to get Italian food (her favorite). We both agreed Four Bricks would be THE SPOT! Needless to say, we were so right! We were greeted and sat with no reservation at around 4:30pm, thankfully there was no wait at that time. However, the restaurant quickly filled up. Our server was very attentive but not over bearing. For our appetizer, we chose bruschetta. 12/10 The perfectly dressed tomatoes and basil sat on a pillowy burrata cloud and melted in your mouth. YUMMMM!! I opted for the penne ala vodka, while she chose the bolognese. 10/10 The penne w/vodka sauce had a surprising hint of spice that was decadent and savory. The bolognese had a slightly creamier taste without the spice and was equally as flavorful. Finally, we ordered the lemon butter cake. 10/10 When I tell you this cake was delicious ... woahhh!! It was a nice crisp butter cake but the lemon zest paired with the coulis and fruit gave the perfect balance. We were told the restaurant would be closing and that it was the final day of service. Made us both bummed to hear since the hospitality and true Italian food with homemade pasta was such a delight. Impeccable place overall! Side note: There's a fast food style concept this place operates at also in Whittier, I hope they remain in business so I can get my pizza and panini fix there!

They also sell party subs, deli sides and hot foods

It was rich with umami flavor from the mushroom, a little salty with texture from the roe, and just creamy enough where you didn't need something to cut through. Comes with bread and side salad. My toddler also enjoyed it, which says a lot! The service was quick. There's a wait list to check in your party on the iPad. They seat you once full party arrives. High chairs available. It's a cozy place and seems like they can accommodate all sorts of parties from 2 people to large families. Shared free parking lot with other businesses, was not difficult to find. Would definitely come back again!

I tried both their uni pasta and their mentai creme pasta; while both are delicious, I'd say I favored the uni pasta more! The Japanese flavors are so unique and bring a whole new umami sensation to the pasta. They also have a hot sauce/ spicy oil (?) at the table that I'd recommend splashing a little bit onto your dish for a nice kick of flavor! Besides the yummy main dishes, the staff really seals the deal in how amazing this place is. They are so so kind and extremely attentive. You can really tell that they love what they do and are so excited for you to try their unique dishes. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a pasta place!

Recently, my son and I have been making pizzas on Friday nights as a bonding experience while my wife is out with friends. We make some, buy one, and compare. My son usually prefers his homemade, but Petrillo's is the exception! He loved the cheesy cheese pizza and the amazing cheese pull. I ordered half cheese and half their specialty pizza, which includes mozzarella, Romano cheese, house tomato sauce, Italian sausage, pepperoni, salami, mushrooms, onions, and green bell peppers. Their small pizza is 12 inches and has 8 slices, which is much larger than other places. Petrillo's Specialty Pizza is stacked with generous toppings and has a doughy but crispy bottom - the best of both worlds. I enjoyed the Specialty pizza, especially the Italian sausage. While I'm not a mushroom fan, I ate them anyway. I'll likely hold off on mushrooms next time. They provide generous amounts of complimentary crushed red pepper packets, paper plates, and napkins. Parmesan cheese packets cost extra, about $0.50 each, if I remember correctly. The staff were friendly and are local residents, which is always great to see in a mom-and-pop business. You can eat in or order from the take-out counter on the right side. It's best to order ahead to avoid a 20-25 minute wait. My only minor complaint was the pizza was a bit sloppy when I took a picture, but I understand they're busy getting orders out. I will definitely be back to Petrillo's for pizza!

I told her that I needed to leave so I needed a refund even though I really wanted the food, the cashier scoffed at me and rolled her eyes. I explained again that I just really needed to leave because I was gonna be late, she called her manager out, and he just walked out yelling at me without even understanding what was happening, they were super rude, ultimately he told her to give me my money back and she started counting and had no idea how much money to give me back so she closed the register and without saying anything to me she left again made me wait another five minutes for her to come back while he taught her how to make basic change and so I yelled back at them to just give me my money so I could leave ,the cashier called me an ugly ass bitch and she stole my money, so much for good customer service yeah this is the worst place ever don't go here. They're just gonna rip you off and I treat you like crap mind you she already had my food in her hand, but she wouldn't give it to me.. they shorted me 20 bucks My husband had to go in there to tell them to not disrespect me, and the little cashier yelled more profanities. I called when I left and and talked to a manager and explain to him about his insane cashier, and he told me to come back for my money but I don't want I go near that place ever again. Keep my money and hire people who can do basic math and know human decency.
