First time visit to Ravaila's. Arrived at 5:00 on a Saturday. A lot of cars in the parking lot. I took as a good sign. Once inside, I noted how the servers and hostesses were all busy clearing tables and serving guests. After a very short wait, we were seated and the hostess took our drink order. Soon our server, Alondra, appeared to take our orders. Hot turkey dinner and hot roast beef dinner with onion rings. The menu had a large variety of food and we were watching the food coming out of the kitchen. The stuffed green peppers, pizza and burgers all looked good. Soon, our dinners arrived and looking/smelling good. Shortly after receiving dinners, our server, Alondra, checked in with us to ensure we were satisfied with dinner and refilling beverages. The roast beef and turkey dinners both had a good amount food. Mashed potatoes and a lot of gravy were a good accent. After dinner, we noticed the chalkboard dessert selections of deluxe carrot cake. We asked what "deluxe" carrot cake was? She told us it's the pineapple filling. Immediately, we ordered one piece and was not disappointed. We recommend this restaurant. read more

This the second time in a row that my wife got a Stromboli to go with sausage mushrooms and onions. Could be wrong. but I think they went to canned mushrooms. Either way there weren't to many of them in the Stromboli. Was also very skimpy on onions. One more chance. Third time will be the charm and we will be done here read more

Cozy place--good food! Very nice bartender and waitress! Wish I lived closer so I could go again!

We wanted to go to Ravaila's last night. We looked online and it said they were open till 8. We drove down from Indiana and found out that they are closed on Monday. I've been there several times and have always been well pleased. If they had been open, I would have given them 5 stars. Just ticked off that the restaurant was closed! read more

The food was absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend trying Ravaila's restaurant!

Great service waitress was very helpful, if you have any questions or comments she's interested and she's always ready to go out of her way to help you with your current visit. read more

We were looking for a place to stop on trips to Pittsburgh. This is a quick off and on route 22 - a few miles. The white pizza was yummy. Lots of chesese, piping hot, and the crust was delicious with just the right balance of fluff and crisp. Fries were undercooked - soggy instead of crispy, but the taste was good. The service was friendly and attentive. read more

Everything was fantastic, from the cheese ball appetizer, salad and entree. We will be back!

My first visit and it won't be my last! Delicious Italian based foods are abundant on the menu making it hard to choose just one. Also lots of fried favorites and good old fashioned comfort foods if Italian isn't your thing. We had two appetizers for the table. We chose onion rings and fried dill pickle spears. Both were very good. Although I burnt the roof of my mouth biting into the fried pickle, it was worth it. As an entree I chose the Thursday special, which was Aglio Olio gnocchis with your choice of grilled chicken or hot sausage. I chose chicken and it was delicious! My friend had it with the sausage and enjoyed it as well. The servings were generous and we took about half of it home in take out containers. Desserts are home made and we had the pistachio cheesecake. It put us over the edge! Service was very good. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. And the entire staff was very accommodating to our party of five. Decor is quaint. This isn't a place to go to be impressed with the ambiance, rather a solid dining choice because of the quality of the food and service. The restrooms were clean and smelled of bleach, which I kind of like. They are one-ers. My only complaint is that I wish they had provided a bag for the takeout boxes. My Aglio Olio leaked all over the car seat and my Italian leather handbag. Ugh! read more

Had dinner here with a family group of 5. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. This place is BYOB, they provided appropriate glasses for wine and canned cocktails. We will be back. read more

Great family sit down restaurant. The food is delicious and the owners are absolutely fantastic people. Highly recommend!

Home style cooking and casual atmosphere is the best way to describe what is offered at this restaurant. Husband and I have eaten here a few times when we are in the area. Lots of local patrons eating in or picking up takeout. The lunch and dinner specials are listed on a blackboard, but menus are offered, too. I have heard that the pizza is good, but I have yet to try it. We stopped in one cold evening and had a nice relaxing meal. Husband ordered hot roast beef with mashed potatoes. I chose rigatoni with meatball which came with a side salad. The salad was enough to fill me up and I ended up taking half my rigatoni home. I chose a piece of red velvet cake to take home, also. It was delicious. All in all, a nice meal on a frigid, snowy night. Next time, pizza will be ordered. read more

I love coming here. My Son treated me for my birthday he had the home made cheese wedges they were awesome he had chicken parm it a big hand breaded chicken breast lightly breaded and served over a large helping of spaghetti . I had the Chicken Cordon bleu. It was amazing ! The portions are so big I had extra for the next day lunch . The chicken breast was huge and lightly breaded and fried perfectly, very tender and juicy . It was topped with baked ham it was very good ham and then smothered with a cheese Alfredo sauce . The best birthday meal I've had in a long time ! Can't wait to go back read more

Settled in historic Blairsville, it is a quint little serendipitous... just kidding. I hate people that write dumb reviews like that... It was really good, I took some customers there while in the next town over. The pepper jack cheese balls things were awesome. I had the salmon BLT (minus the T, tomatoes are disgusting). It had a great flavor and was perfectly seasoned. Try it if you're in the area. read more

The missus and I were torn between here and Papa Sal's tonight as we wanted a nice Italian meal, but we quickly realized we made a mistake in our choice. The restaurant was nearly empty as it was us and one other couple, yet it still took an overwhelmingly long amount of time to be served. We ordered an order of the Fried Cheese as an appetizer, and despite the long wait, it quickly became our favorite part of the meal. After nearly a half hour, our pasta dishes arrived. I ordered the Gnocchi with Alfredo Sauce and thought the portions were small and the noodles were overcooked, but I ate it anyways and enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. The missus ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs and solidified my opinion on the overcooked pasta. Her pasta was significantly more overcooked than mine and was as she said "inedible". The hostess was understanding and offered us a free dessert, which was good, but did not come close to covering the overwhelmingly expensive meal. If you are in the mood for Italian and are torn between Ravalia's and Papa Sal's, choose the latter. read more

Beautifully decorated for the winter holidays, Ravaila's welcomed our large group on a weekend. The menu was varied enough to accommodate both lactose-intolerant and gluten-intolerant guests. The appetizers of course are heavy on fried carbs, such as the famous breadsticks. The cheese and chili dips were good; I thought the marinara was just okay. I also wished the house salads had come on mixed greens rather than iceberg lettuce. Everyone enjoyed their entrees, which have generous servings (e.g. two chicken breast patties). We tried the personal pizza, smothered chicken, rigatoni, haddock, and I think a Tuscan chicken. No one had room for dessert, and many people took home boxes of leftovers. Our server Jill was excellent. P.s. you have to go to the register to pay your bill. read more

This little restaurant was very cute! They make homemade desserts that are something to brag about. I had homemade chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. It was really thick but still moist- so yummy! For dinner, I had ravioli, and I had no complaints. Someone else ordered the stuffed pepper dinner and enjoyed that as well. Our service was very prompt read more

We were visiting family recently and stopped for dinner. Quaint space and the server was very attentive. We were part of a party of 6 and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the Pittsburgh Salad with steak. It was huge! Home cut fries were awesome as well as the house ranch. The only complaint is the dining room smells like an old fryer oil. But wasn't bad enough that we wouldn't be back. read more

In house food is good. Portions ok and service is friendly. However they can use some Work on their take out quality.

After being stuck in Blairsville for two weeks, depression started setting in due to a major lack of any decent food in the area. Then I discovered this quirky little place with its downtown storefront window, giant specials chalkboard and friendly service. Then there's the food. The glorious food! A good selection to chose from albeit some strange concoctions had me wondering what to try first. The portobello appetizer was just grand with its red peppers, feta and balsamic glaze. I could've stopped there but I heard raves about the burger so I had to indulge. With my first bite my face was covered with juice from the never frozen patty. Sooo good. I never like hand cut fries but these were done right. Hot and crispy exterior with a fluffy interior and not a drop of grease to be found. I can't wait to go back tonight. read more

A nice place to sit and chat and enjoy the great food..and sene..

Ravalia's is the one place I look forward to going to when I go to Blairsville. I like to meet up with my mom for lunch dates and it's always this place. The salads are giant, the specials are always yummy and affordable, but the pizza... Oh the pizza. The bread is out of this world. It has a nice country/cottage feel from the decorations and bit farm-style tables. read more

Was looking for somewhere to eat an early dinner when coming through Blairsville and Yelp lead us to this little hole in the wall. Anywhere that advertises fresh cut fries will get me as a customer! Service was fast and food was delicious. We split the home made fried cheese triangles, which were awesome! Husband had Italian sub and I had the portabella sandwich, which were also awesome! Would definitely visit again when we're in the area! read more

Driving on route 22? Want great food with great service? Get off the Blairsville exit and drive 3 minutes into town! This is a local favorite--you need to try. Every time we go the food is fantastic at a great price. The diverse fresh menu includes something for everyone. A warm welcome from the door until the homemade desserts at the end.. you'll add this spot for your destination again. Keep up the great work guys! read more

First Time. My husband was dressed like a camp counselor and didn't feel out of place. There were colorable kids menus with crayons and it was busy enough that the noise from my three kids didn't draw too much attention. It's a little pricey for the area, and what it is. The staff was cold but, after a few weeks in Blairsville, we've come to expect that. I ordered the Pittsburgh Salad with Crispy Chicken. It was excellent. The chicken was very moist and there were many nice toppings. The kids had spaghetti and my son would have had a second bowl, if he could have. My husband said the meat on his Monte Cristo was excellent, but the sandwich overall was dry and needed some sort of sauce. The fresh-cut fries are HUGE and delicious and the breadsticks are fried, and yummy. I'm adding pictures. read more

We were looking on yelp for a restaurant while traveling through Blairsville. We found a treasure.. the food and service were great! I enjoyed the gnocchi and my husband enjoyed his hot sausage sandwich. We will be stopping the next time we are in the area! read more

I applaud this little restaurant. Homemade dressing and fresh cut fries. I had the rigatoni special and the was pasta slightly overdone and the sauce was too sweet for my taste but it was not bad. They had nightly specials and the pizza looked off the charts. Hubby had the Reuben. It could easily feed two people. They brought out a hot bread stick with pasta and butter (I hope). Pleasant staff and quick service. I'm so glad I ventured off 22 and away from all that fast food. We want to stop again on our way to Penn State and try some more items. They played Classic/rock and 70's music. Definitely a fan. read more

Not the place I'd pick for eating after we found weird hard things in our pizza. Called to tell them and whoever answered didn't seem to care. read more

We were looking for someplace to meet friends for early dinner. And we were tired of the same old things. All we can say is what a GEM. Found it on the corner and decided we would give the place a chance. The service was fast and friendly. The food was amazing. My wife had the portobello mushroom strips as an appetizer. She is still impressed with it today. We all opted for the Pittsburgh Salads with various s chicken options. The salads were HUGE. The portions were amazing and the place is a small secret with amazing food and staff. So glad we found you and we will be back. read more

Lunch. Hi noon. Only 4 tables occupied. Fish sand/fries & water. 11 bucks plus tax Kinda expensive for lunch. Fries were too greasy for me. MThey really need to improve kitchen exhaust system. The dining room smelled like a deep fryer Heavy grease smell throughout dining area made my experience less than pleasant. Wouldn't go out of my way to return to this place. read more
