There are no words that can truly express the dining experience we had tonight. The food was absolutely delicious. In fact it was so good that we ordered an additional dinner after we ate because we didn't want it to end. The drinks are superb and very unique. Bartender Kristian was skied in his craft and very welcoming. We have eaten in the best restaurants all over the world and this place has its own. This restaurant is a special place. Can't wait to go back. read more

Used to be 5 stars but the staff has turned over (not a good thing) and they removed three of the best items from the menu. The reason for removing them. "So we can turn tables faster". I get that it's summer and you need to strike while the iron is hot, but chasing locals away so you can turn the tables of vacationers faster might not be the way to do it. read more

When your best friend insists a restaurant is THIS good, you listen. So, on a Monday night, my husband, our kids, and I made the hour-and-a-half trek to Ravyn & Robyn... and WOW -- it was more than worth it. There's no official kids' menu, but that didn't matter one bit. The owner himself came over to chat with our kids, and without hesitation, offered to make a personal pizza for our daughter. She devoured the entire pie. My son similarly polished off a plate of chicken on a bed of spinach in record time. We shared a round of calamari and the most beautifully balanced cheese board; paired with local honey, olives, and a perfectly chosen wine. The Cacio e Pepe? Hand-made that day, cooked to the most perfect al dente, and so delicious that my daughter declared, "It tastes like fancy mac and cheese." (High praise from a discerning 5-year-old.) It would be amiss if I didn't give a shoutout to Christian, the bartender, who felt more like a magician. I asked why my gin cocktail tasted so uniquely good, and he casually mentioned he had prepped it with cucumbers for six days. SIX. DAYS. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, we shared a crème brûlée--and it was the best kind of night-cap. Creamy, crackly perfection. Cozy, elevated, warm, and full of heart--Ravyn & Robyn is a gem I can't wait to visit again. read more

I was here in the past and had a great experience. This time was not that great. The service was bad, food was cold and just disappointing. The meals came out at different times. They forgot about the birthday I mentioned multiple times. The branzino was ice cold. Not a great experience this time. read more

The owner and his wife happen to sit by us. I had to share how fabulous the Ossobucco was and the ravioli was perfect. The pasta home made not to thick. The ravioli sauce was light and full of flavor not overpowering the pasta. If you like beets you will LOVE their beet salad!! We will be back over and over again! Oh we also tried the 2019 Barolo wine and it was perfect with our dinner! read more

A small, unique restaurant in the small town of Hawley. Great vibe. Wait staff was excellent. Cheerful, helpful with our questions & service was quick. Drinks were cold & well made. Food was outstanding & arrived very quickly. Eggplant parm was recommended by our server & was accompanied by excellent side of homemade pasta. The chicken Milanese was done to perfection. We saved some room for dessert. We enjoyed the crème brûlée which was creamy with a crisp caramelized topping. The panna cotta with a fruit coulis topping was a terrific recommendation by our server. We will definitely return & recommended to friends who want a special evening experience in NE PA. read more

First off the waitress was very abrupt and not welcoming in the least. Ordered the chicken piccata and it was very floury... chicken was tough and the sauce was not very appealing. The Meatball were okay and so was the calamari. It was a little tight with seating some tables and chairs are back to back literally. And it was kind of loud. read more

The meals were fantastic. The servers were fantastic. And a perfect atmosphere. Reservations a must to be safe. The Old Fashio was spot on. The Ravioli de Marie Monte special shrimp, scalops, mushroom, ricotta may have been the best meal ever. Meatball appy great. Branzino,huge and great. Best terimisu ever. Perfect night out. best meal ever. read more

It is a hidden gem on the small quaint town of Hawley. I wish Hawley had more of a nightlife, but it's always super quiet even on weekends. It's still worth the visit for a fresh delicious meal at RandR. Make a reservation because it will fill up. Service is a bit disorganized but the staff is nice and friendly. All their pastas are delicious and fresh. Full bar and cool cocktail creations. Cheese board is a definite must. Try the specials. Enjoy! read more

We stopped by for a Thursday night date. NOT impressed at all. Let's start with the meatballs. They are homemade and I do appreciate the work put into that. What I did not appreciate, was the bone I bit into, along with several pieces of cartilage my husband bit into as well. Low quality meats will always show up. ($18 for this pleasure.) We told the waiter and yes he, laughed it off. We both had the pasta, my husband had the Bolognesse and said it was just ok. My special, fusilli was to be in a cream sauce with sausage and mushrooms. There was no sauce, the pasta was over cooked and it was dry. My guess is they put to much parmesan cheese on it and it went dry. At first, we tried to get the attention of the waiter, but to no avail. We took the meatballs and my pasta home for our friends. We had some friends that could not make it for dinner, and wanted to try the place with us. They tried both and the conclusion was the same. Thank you for saving us $90. Not worth the $90. for meatball appy and 2 pasta dishes. In this economy everyone is watching the prices soar. We don't mind paying the higher prices, if it's good quality. The meatballs were inexcusable!!!! read more

Absolutely delicious meals. My friends and I left our plates clean. My island time drink was so good- if you like sweet but less alcoholic taste, this is the drink for you. Food was fresh and tasty. This low-lit restaurant has a wonderful ambiance for any occasion. The service was fair paced and the staff was kind. Will be back! read more

Authentic Italian food. Great service in an intimate and unique setting. Private dining options are available in an actual vault! You won't be disappointed! read more

VERY disappointed in the food I had the calamari which was over fried and tasteless - the marinara sauce was scant and also tasteless and chicken was not edible - literally you could see and taste the mushy pasty raw flour the chicken was coated in -- I would not recommend or go there again read more

It was a rainy evening when we dropped by. We had made reservations ahead of time and checked to make sure the spot was still available for a larger dinner party (9 people). While we were told it was still available over the phone, when we arrived, there was some sort of confusion that left us waiting for about 20 minutes before we were actually seated. Our waiter appeared very flustered (it must've been a long night), and did their best to take care of us. But some of the menu options ended up not being available last minute despite being placed right away, so we had to choose different options while we were waiting, and then wait again. Once the food was finally out, it was mostly good.... Except there was a mix up with one of the orders, and we had to wait for the correct one to replace it. Due to the haste, that ravioli dish ended up still being frozen in the center. By the time it was reheated in the microwave, the ricotta and pasta had completely melted. I'm assuming the food was in there a little too long, as the texture was completely off. But at least it was finally served hot. TLDR pros: food and drinks were good (the Japanese Cold Noodles cocktail was very interesting). The shared plates, burrata/prosciutto and beet salads, were enjoyable. TLDR cons: I wouldn't blame the waiter as the venue was pretty loud and difficult to hear over the din of voices. However, the wait time and mix-ups made dining here a bit stressful and hectic, so I think this place may be more suitable for smaller parties as they seemed unprepared overall. Some of the menu items may not be available, so ask the waiter if they can check with the kitchen first. And maybe get something that's not ravioli. read more

Wow, this spot is the most authentic Italian spot in the tri state area you can get. They make the pasta fresh every day and you can taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. The staff is extremely pleasant. The owners know their stuff and will talk to you like you're family. The atmosphere is exquisitely divine with old historic charm. This resturant is positioned in an old bank with an old vault available for group rents. It's fabulous. You must stop by, have some bread and cheese, drink a espresso martini and try the cacio y Pepe. You won't regret this amazing spot! read more

The fried cauliflower app was incredible. I also had the ravioli in tomato sauce which was also amazing. Might be a new go-to spot up here

Creative menu, speedy service, warm staff and a must stop place! Great vibe for a weekend stop!

Food is Amazing! Drinks are delish. Ambiance is very cool, it's an old bank with a real vault you can reserve to dine in. love Michaela and Arturgot to get there soon! We miss it read more

We came into Hawley on a Monday evening and found this excellent Italian restaurant. I ordered the spinach ravioli which was delicious and my parents loved their dishes as well. There is a great selection of homemade pastas on the menu. For dessert we enjoy a crème brûlée which was very well made. The service was great making the experience all the better. There is also a nice ambiance and a very cool old vault door in the restaurant. read more

Fantastic Food, Special Service, Amazing Ambiance.what more can I say this place is one of the best places to got in the entire state of Pennsylvania read more

The food was average, nothing special. Everything on the sparse menu was surprisingly overpriced, but we had no other choice for our lunch. The two of us had plates (bowls, actually!) of lasagna, a shared salad and two beers, and with tip included our lunch came to just under $100. We would have much preferred Olive Garden, if there was one around. The ambiance was negatively affected by the shades being drawn on all the windows, so gazing outside on this lovely day was impossible. If you are determined to dine here, go soon because we predict the place won't be around much longer. read more

What a great experience. Bobby made it special. There were 8 of us. The crispy cauliflower was great. All the pasta dishes were melt in your mouth. The lamb ragu and bolognese were excellent. The steak tartare rivaled anything we've had in NYC. Cocktails were well made and well portioned. Worth a visit for small plates and some drinks, or for a very satisfying meal. Enjoy. read more

Overall great dinner. The drinks were great (cosmo & aperol spritz), the food was great as well. The only complaint I have is the tables are really close together, which I could hear other people's conversation. Our server was great though! read more

Ravyn & Robyn - Aperol spritz & old fashioned - Wine Bars Near Me - Hawley, Pennsylvania

*HIGHLY RECOMMEND* I honestly did not expect to have one of the best Italian meals I've ever had during my weekend trip to the Poconos. We found this place last minute and called earlier to ask for a table and luckily they had availability. The place was decently sized with and had dining tables in a vault room in the back. Decor was very much rustic as well. They had a pretty wide array of item on the menu from homemade pasta to homemade pizza. Everything seemed to be made fresh in house and you can definitely taste the quality in the food. The pasta was cooked PERFECTLY AL DENTE. Even though Italian food is known to be on the heavier side, this meal was lighter than I expected. Overall, I was very impressed by the flavors, the textures, and can say it's the best Italian food I've had so far. *DINNER* Salmon - salmon cooked perfectly, not overdone or dry at all. I love the polenta with the mushroom sauce. Veal Piccata - veal was cooked very well, soft and not too chewy and not gamey at all. The sauce was soooo good, especially if you like the citrus kick like I do. Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente with a nice bite Tiramisu and creme brûlée was on point as well and not too sweet *VERDICT* I'd definitely would come back again read more

We have been here numerous times. We are full time residents in Hawley. We have always realized it's a dining experience. This time we sat for 25 minutes before some one even came over to take our drink order. We left and probably won't go back. You can't have one server for an entire restaurant. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, with terrific wait staff. We will be returning to enjoy outstandingfood that is hard to find in this area. read more

Visited during our stay in Hawley over President's weekend. Food and drinks are 5 star but I'm giving an overall rating of 4 due to our server being extremely unattentive. Bartender is the real deal...martinis and old fashioned were spectacular. Pasta carbonara is legit and chicken piccata is full of lemon flavor. We will definitely be back when we return in the fall. read more

Our first visit here along with another chef and his wife. This is family owned and run by an Italian family,and housed in an old bank building. Let me start by saying the food is 5 stars all the way. The service was also excellent. So what you ask is the reason for four my four star review? Covid. And room for improvement on that score. We understand that restaurants are trying to pay their bills, keep the staff employed and navigate through this mess. All we ask is be sure the staff is masked, especially if the tables are not 6 feet or more apart. (They are not here and there was far more chinware than full masking). We had inquired about safety prtocols at reservation, and so we could be safely distanced we were seated in The Vault, a beautiful four seat table in the repurposed bank vault . The setting was perfect. Thanks to them for this accommodation. We all loved the food, and will certainly be back. Fresh homemade baked bread hit the table and we all dunked in some EVOO. Then we shared meatballs as an appetizer- the red gravy was absolutely perfect as well as a cold antipasto loaded with fresh meats, cheeses and more. A great start. Each of us ordered our own pasta entrees which are all made with fresh homemade pasta. My spaghetti carbonara was classically prepared ( no cream) and was a throwback to authentic Italian cuisine. This is a terrific Italian restaurant and should be on everyone's radar. read more

We visited on our vacation, on a very rainy day. We were seated inside the safe, yes it's an old bank. This wasn't ideal because the ventilation was terrible on a humid day. The food was good but hard to enjoy in this scenario. It also made our servers forget about us. I would give it another try but not in the safe. read more

This establishment could use a shut down for a thorough cleaning. I was totally looking forward to it and then totally disappointed. The food was bland and tasteless, the service unnecessarily arrogant and way over priced The oso buco with risotto was like minute rice with crock pot shank.

Hawley PA is a cute town in the Poconos region and if you are visiting & love Italian cuisine you MUST try this gem. Established in what originally was a bank and still has the bank volt, that is used as a private dining-room...SO COOL. The atmosphere is warm & inviting with a full beautiful bar. It is an Italian family that owns & operates this authentic Italian cuisine restaurant which makes it feel like you're in their kitchen. They run back & forth speaking in Italian and at one point or another they all come to your table and although it's definitely 5-star cuisine it's down to earth family style service. Not something everyone enjoys but we loved it! Now let's talk about the food!!!!! Fresh, Tasty, Delicious, Amazing Italian cuisine and they do not skimp on the portions. Everything is homemade from scratch and it makes all your senses wake-up and tastebuds dance...SERIOUSLY. The best part about dining with family & friends is that you can have a taste of many dishes...WIN WIN. We enjoyed two appetizers, six entrees, three desserts, a bottle or red wine, & five espressos for a total of $335, which included the tip. We were shocked when the bill came because it could have justifiably been double the final cost. The only suggestion I have is to make the Creme Brûlée thicker (see pic) because it was very thin. BUT it was a wonderful location, service, meal, & price :) FYI reservations strongly recommended. read more

Amazing place in an amazing town! Food was second to none and the staff was so pleasurable and accommodating!!

I've never in my life had Italian food that was this bland & uninspired. It's like they are against seasoning their dishes. No acidity, no herbs, no heat, no nothing. Presentation of the dishes looked like they were thrown on the plate & absolutely no color or anything remotely appealing to the eye. The drinks were ok I guess. read more

I don't understand all of the positive reviews. We were incredibly disappointed overall with this restaurant and won't be returning. It started out when we ordered a glass of Cabernet and a glass of Pinot Grigio. Several minutes later the waiter returned stating they were out of Pinot Grigio. How is an Italian restaurant out of Pinot Grigio at 6:00pm with only two seated tables in the restaurant? They then served us some very over toasted stale bread. Have you ever been served stale bread at an Italian restaurant?? Gross We went on to order the Buratta and Meatballs for appetizers. Both were equally disappointing. The meatballs were not at all soft and tender but rather tough and hard as a golf ball. The tomato sauce lacked any flavor. Although the Buratta was tasty the tomatoes and prosciutto were embarrassing. The tomatoes were your standard cellophane wrapped light pink tomatoes. In early August with tons of local farms selling delicious homegrown tomatoes this is unforgivable. The prosciutto was so thickly cut it was disgusting. I've never in my life seen prosciutto cut so thick. For dinners we ordered the chicken parm With penne pasta and a seafood special pasta. It was Tagliatelle with clams, mussels, calamari and lobster. The chicken parm was ok. Not good and not bad. I'm not sure what was worse the Seafood pasta or the cracked and broken dishes it was served on. Other than the half lobster tail the seafood was so fishy it tasted old. The sauce and pasta lacked an flavor. What a huge disappointment. You'd be off going to Olive Garden. This place is a disaster. read more

Second time we've come to this little Italian place. And this is the second time all 10 of us all leaving full and happy. They are very lovely people and make the best pasta you'll ever have. Highly recommend the Bolognese drink, sauce, as well as the spinach ravioli in a butter sage sauce. Meatball appetizer was excellent. Already looking forward to coming back next year. Highly recommend !!! read more

Traveled to Hawley again for dinner. This place used to be a bank and the vault is still there in which to dine. There is also outdoor seating. Started with a bowl of pasta flagpole. It was filled with veges and pasta in a very delicious broth. Entress were a ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta and tagliatelle with seafood. A dozen mussels, 6 clams and 3 shrimp. There was leftovers there. Service was good. Everyone assists each other. Bartender makes a good Old fashion among other specialty cocktails. No room for desert. Would return next time for the meatballs and bolognese. Family owned business...Italy to New York to Hawley. Been there 8 yrs. Reservations recommended although we walked in and were seated promptly about 5:30 read more

The food here was truly excellent. My partner ordered the orecchiette pugliese and loved it. He said it was the best Italian food he's had in all of Pennsylvania. I ordered a special--tagliatelle with seafood and lobster. It was amazing, and the portions were incredibly generous. It came with a half of a lobster, and all of the seafood was cooked perfectly. The food did take a really long time to come out, and the restaurant wasn't very full, so I wouldn't recommend coming here before a show or event. It was hard at times to get our servers' attention, so we weren't able to order as many drinks as we wanted. Plus, my partner's Manhattan was only okay-- stick to the wine rather than the cocktails. Still, we were really blown away by the food and would run right back here next time we are in Hawley! read more
