Arrived at the restaurant rather late (13.30 ) on a beautiful, but cool midweek day in April 2017…read more It was empty, save for our family of four. We had a mix of tasty antipasti, primi (spaghetti alle vongole, risotto ai frutti di mare), fried octopus as a secondo and tiramisu and panna cotta for dessert. Excellent sparkling white house wine, and water accompanied our meal. Food was fresh and arrived quickly. Service was friendly. I specially recommend the fantastic spaghetti alle vongole verace, their specialty. The other food was good, but not extraordinary, but the dolci were rather forgettable. They were especially helpful in giving us a ride back to where we had parked our car (near the marina di Ravenna, some 2 hours walking distance along the beach). In summary, we recommend this restaurant for an authentic Italian sea-side meal and would. gladly return for more.

Stopped in for dinner around 8:30pm on a Friday and was sat immediately! We traveled from the US…read moreand we are in Ravenna for a few days before our cruise. This place just oozes authenticity. Barely anyone spoke English but our waitress was very patient with us and our attempt at Italian. There is not an English menu (which is typically a good sign when looking for REAL Italian food). Using Google translate, we settled on the Gran Mix Dell'Osteria for an appetizer, which was basically a charcuterie. Very good! For dinner we decided on Cappellietti al Ragú and Tagliatella Al Ragú. Both delicious and would definitely order again. Finished off with the PERFECT tiramisu. Stop in, have a glass of the house wine and feel like a local!

Happy to say this place is still just as amazing as I remember it almost 10 years ago!…read more A couple of girlfriends and I discovered Pensavo Peggio during our first trip to Italy in 2017, and it quickly became one of the reasons Florence became one of my favorite cities. Back then, I ordered the Osso Buco, Lasagna, and Tiramisu--and I still remembered how incredible everything was. So, of course, when I returned nearly 10 years later, I had to order the same meals... and yes, I said meals! Fabrizio, the same server who took care of me in 2017, asked, "Are you sure you want two dinners?" I told him, "Yes! I want to try them both." Fast-forward to 2026: I walked back in two days ago, reminded Fabrizio of our conversation, and told him I was ordering both again. He immediately started laughing. Some things never change! My boyfriend ordered the pappardelle and instantly fell in love with it. We also shared a delicious cheese and meat platter and, of course, finished with Tiramisu. Nearly 10 years later, Pensavo Peggio still holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend this cute little spot! It just goes to show that sometimes the best memories--and the best meals--are found when you venture off the beaten path. Some places are simply worth coming back to.

Saw the reviews on Yelp and wanted to try it since we were staying around the corner…read more Had the Cacio Pepe and Grandma's Lasagna. Lasagna was 10/10 which is why my wife kept eating mine and the Pepe was still very good. Eat here for phenomenal food and value.
