    Traditional meat with Bolognese sauce
    Chantel M.

    Stumbled upon this place on yelp and was so fascinated that it's a solely ravioli shop that also served sandwiches. The place is a more casual place. You walk in, order and pay at the register, then find a seat. I love a good ravioli, but I found the ravioli here to be okay. The meat ravioli with bolognese sauce was better than the chicken ravioli with pesto. The meat ravioli with bolognese is a classic, so can't really go wrong there. However, I thought the chicken ravioli with the pesto sauce was salty and watered down. The chicken itself had a strong chicken flavor, which I'm not a huge fan of. It felt like chicken that was cooked and refrigerated for some time to me. To be honest, the best part of the dish was the garlic bread. I also tried a brisket sandwich, and found it pretty decent. It had a good amount of lettuce and meat and toasty Dutch crunch. Overall, I found this place average. Nothing really stood out to me, but nothing was that bad either. If I went back, I'd probably just stick to the classic meat ravioli with bolognese.

    Ingredients for "everything on it"

    What a great discovery this past Tuesday! Yes, they sell raviolis with a variety of yummy flavors and fillings, including cheese, chicken, lobster, spicy sicilian sausage, and asiago & zucchini. But this place offers an extensive menu of sandwiches too, made with quality meats, cheeses, toppings, and unique spreads like jalapeno garlic sauce, basil pesto, and habanero italian. So many delicious options to choose from, and you can customize as you please. I got the combo sandwich plus added pastrami, on dutch crunch, with "everything on it" except no mustard or pickles. It was quite large in size and beyond satisfying, thick and flavorful slices of meat, and a generous amount of melted cheese and fresh veggies. Every savory bite was like heaven. The restaurant had a steady flow of customers during lunch time, but service was friendly and more than sufficient. And I was able to enjoy my meal in the outdoor patio on a beautiful sunny afternoon. They have a lovely indoor setting as well, with a good amount of dining tables. Street parking in front of the eatery cost $1 per hour, Mon-Sat before 6pm (free on Sundays).

    After a short class, I was feeling hungry and saw this place that had great reviews on Google. Excitedly, my partner and I went to this store where the worker suggested the Mojo sandwich and the chicken ravioli with vodka sauce. After a short wait they brought out our food and it was pretty good. The sandwich had too much pulled pork(surprising problem), because it was the only thing you'd end up tasting. The ravioli, which should have been amazing, wasn't that great. The flavor was fine and it was cooked to an al dente texture, but the inside filling was just so crumbly. The texture was kinda unpleasant in this regard, but at least the flavor was good and the garlic bread was a 10/10. Overall I would have to dock them some points for the ravioli(their literal namesake), but it wasn't that bad and the vibes were nice.

    If you find yourself starving, go where the local firemen go - that's who was in line with us on our first trip here! The sandwiches are as good as the ravioli, but I would probably pick the original ravioli over the pastrami sandwich by a hair. I love that they have dairy-free options. We will be back to try more of the menu.

    First review of 2025 and it happens to be a 5 star one! This place is a gem! My husband stumbled upon it while in the area, looked it up on Yelp, and saw it had great reviews. We decided to take my mom, and it turned out to be a cozy, local, low key, casual spot. Service was good too. Since the business is named after ravioli, we had to try it, and my husband also wanted to sample a sandwich. You get to choose the type of ravioli and sauce. We ordered the meat ravioli with bolognese sauce and the chicken ravioli with pesto sauce. My husband also got the meatball sandwich. Everything we ordered was divine. All three dishes arrived hot and fresh. The ravioli was served with two pieces of cheesy bread, which were absolutely delicious. The ravioli was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were packed with flavor. We all shared the meatball sub, which was also fantastic. Honestly, between the three of us, one ravioli dish and one meatball sub would have been enough, but I'm glad we got to try both sauces. We'll definitely be coming back often!

    The Ravioli House has great food, I can't choose between the ravioli entrees or the sandwiches. Their fresh housemade ravioli is a must try, pick one or two raviolis and a sauce, and the order comes with a generous portion of cheesy bread. My favorite sandwich is roasted veggies on Dutch crunch. Their hot sandwiches are also great (meatball, hot turkey). Also don't miss their cook at home options in the refrigerator. The workers are super nice and very friendly and helpful. They have casual seating with vintage photos of San Mateo, as well as a couple of tables outside.

    Holy smokes! What a gem. We had some errands to run in the area and needed lunch. So thankful we found this place! We ordered the Pastrami Sandwich + Meat Ravioli w/ Bolognese. Top notch experience and incredible food! The team was friendly and the food came out super quick. There are four small outdoor tables, not super spacious but enough room for us to enjoy lunch with our tiny dog. The handmade pasta is fantastic and we'll definitely be back soon!

    The Ravioli House is a nice little deli that serves sandwiches (hot and cold) and their ravioli, pasta dishes. The shop is small but offers some outdoor seating but primarily indoor seating. Place your order, pay and they will bring to your table or get it ready for takeout. One restroom only. *Funny sign for fellow yelper Lee. Not that he has this issue at all. My wife and I split the Meat ravioli with Pesto sauce. It comes with cheesy bread. Also, we added one meatball. The ravioli was thin with not much filling, but cooked al dente. The pesto sauce was good! The meatball ($5) was a good sized meatball I thought the meatball was really tasty, flavorful. I wish we got another one. I would come back again if in the area.

    I was randomly browsing and found The Ravioli House, which I am so happy about. This is going on my regular lunch rotation when I am in San Mateo. This is an Italian deli that does Italian sandwiches and raviolis. I got the East Coast sando with everything on sourdough roll. The price is actually really good for the Bay Area and the sandwich is huge. Next time, I want to get one of the raviolis because they look amazing. You can also get freshly made ravioli to go so you can cook at home. There is a lobster one that I really want to try out.

    This is a tasty gem on the outskirts of the main drag of downtown. So there's lots of parking within walking distance. They have sandwiches and affordable ravioli plates. They serve all their ravioli with garlic bread too! The staff is friendly and we even saw locals come through. I'll definitely be checking this place out again! Even a simply ravioli with marinara was super tasty and nostalgic. Worth stopping by if you're craving flavors of Italy by a small buisness.

    The pulled pork sandwich here is simply amazing - and I don't say that lightly as someone who typically isn't even a pulled pork fan! What sets this place apart is their unique smoking method, using a Big Green Egg Texas grill that infuses the meat with exceptional flavor. I ordered the pulled pork on ciabatta bread, which comes lightly mixed with coleslaw - a perfect combination that creates an incredibly moist, melt-in-your-mouth experience. The meat is so tender it simply falls apart with each bite. The coleslaw adds just the right amount of creaminess and crunch without overwhelming the smoky flavors of the pork. If you haven't discovered this hidden gem yet, it's absolutely worth a visit. This is sandwich perfection at its finest. Food: 10, Service: 10, ambiance: 6. Good street parking. Clean. Good area of town.

    Spicy sausage ravioli with pesto
    Lia K.

    Where has this place been all of my life??? I am so upset that I've lived in the bay for 30 years and I've never been here!!!! First off, all of the employees were so nice and patient with the 5 of us. There isn't much seating for bigger crowds, so be prepared to take your food to go. We came in and it was packed, but we got lucky that 2 tables left as we were ordering, so we were able to eat there. The chairs and tables need a little updating lol wobbly seats and tables. But whatever. It's a deli not a 5 star restaurant. We all got different raviolis and sauces to try. I loved everything!!!! If I had to rate them, I would say the 1. Chicken ravioli 2. Spicy sausage ravioli 3. Cheese ravioli 1. Vodka 2. Pesto 3. Bolognese Next time we need to try the traditional meat and I think there was another ravioli. And the marinara. I was sad that you can't get the lobster ravioli to eat there. But next time I'll take some home to make. The sandwiches were bomb af too. The bread was really good (and the cheese bread with the pasta). The East coast was packed with meats and jalapeño garlic sauce. It was perfect. And the mojo was good too. The sauce had a strong cumin flavor to it. The pork on it was delicious and smoky. I will be back next week lol

    I had a raging craving for banh mi, but I didn't want to haul ass to the south bay (duc huong is…read morestill my favorite). M sandwiches pleasantly surprised me with its warm crusty bread, crisp tender bbq pork, and fresh cilantro and pickled veggies. The place is tiny - really no seating indoors and just a few chairs outside - but I'm adding this spot to my regular to-go rotation. I love that they give you potato chips with every sandwich, and unwrapping every sandwich that has the twine tied around it feels like you are unbundling a treasure. One tip - I thought the grilled lemongrass beef sandwich would be similar to the bbq pork one, but the beef was more like a meatloaf. Still good! Just not what I was expecting.

    I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately my experience was very disappointing…read more I ordered the grilled pork bánh mì from this place earlier. I was hungry and started eating the sandwich while walking, but after just a few bites I had to throw it away. The grilled pork was unbelievably salty--easily one of the saltiest bánh mì fillings I've ever had. It tasted like the meat had been heavily over-seasoned with salt, to the point where that was the only flavor I could taste. The sandwich was also loaded with mayonnaise, which made it feel very heavy and greasy. Combined with the salty pork, it ended up tasting like mostly fat and salt. The bread didn't seem particularly fresh or house-made either, which made the overall experience even more disappointing given the price. I hate leaving negative reviews, but for the cost and quality, this was not a sandwich I could finish, let alone enjoy.

    I have been going to this place since I was a little kid. They always sold mexican candy for the…read morecheapest price. And then as I got older I began to order their buroski? Not sure if that is how you spell it. But its a closed bun and inside of it is beef and cheese. Almost like a cheeseburger instead the bun is like a jelly donut and instead of the jelly is broken down beef in cheese. So good!! This place is BIG with Polynesians & Pacific Islanders mainly for their fresh Kale sipi/moa & manioke or rice. Their curry lamb & curry chicken is made freshly & they have their own mango otai. Me & my family moved out of the neighborhood but still come here when we can because I kid you not, there is no other place in the bay area where they make curry lamb/chicken fresh out in the ISLAND STYLE. Theres a huge difference how Pacific Islanders make it & how Indians make it. The place itself is not large. They have about 5 tables that sit about 2 ppl and they have a table outside for those that wanna eat outside. You can def dine in but if youre a large group you might take up the whole venue. I usually order and go. Little history, this place has been in the Shoreview neighborhood for 32-35 years. It is owned by a fijian couple. The man was named Harry and his wife. Harry unfortunately passed away and his wife & one of his sons are holding it down. One of the local small businesses that are still going to this day.
