Stopped in yesterday 5/25/26. So good. Fabulous deli, wonderful service. Bought the pulled pork sandwich. Delicious. Purchased 2 boxes of cheese ravioli to take home. Highly recommend. read more

I recently visited Ravioli House for the first time. I had been wanting to check it out, and since I was in the area, I decided to stop by and give it a try. For my first visit, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. It was okay -- not bad, but not something that really stood out to me. To be fair, I honestly think I may have ordered the wrong item. After seeing some of the other dishes coming out, especially the raviolis, I realized that's probably what I should have tried. The ravioli plates looked fresh, well-portioned, and really appetizing. Next time, I'm definitely going that route. One thing I have to say -- the bread was hands down delicious. It tasted very fresh and had great texture. That was actually one of the highlights of the meal for me. You can tell they care about quality ingredients. Beyond the food, the overall experience was very positive. The customer service was great -- friendly, attentive, and welcoming, especially for it being my first time there. The restaurant itself was very clean and well kept. The location is convenient, and parking was easy, which is always a plus in this area. Even though the pulled pork sandwich just wasn't what I was personally feeling that day, I'm not knocking the place at all. Everything else about the experience was solid. I'm definitely willing to give it another shot, and I can easily see how this could be a 4- or 5-star place depending on what you order. For this visit, I'd give it 4 star based on my specific dish, but overall I'm leaving with a positive impression and will be back to try the ravioli next time I'm in the area. read more

Came here January; not bad. I like the various options on filling and sauce. Service is great. Warm, cozy, non-fussy spot.

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. read more

I have been going to this great sandwich place for many years. I stopped in Monday and got my favorite roast turkey on dutch crunch with all the fixings. Just so you know, they roast the turkey's on site! Give it a try. You won't be sorry! read more

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). read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

The thanksgiving deli sandwich is hella good. Also the to go ravioli are always bomb with the side sauce.

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Despite what Yelp says, The Ravioli House does not offer a gluten free menu. This is disappointing as that is what I need. Contacting them was a waste of my time. (Ignore the number of stars as I was forced to choose.) read more

The sandwiches here are solid. Their take home ravioli is pretty damn good as well with all the options for sauces.

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. read more

No frill solid sandwich place in downtown San Mateo. We have also tried their frozen ravioli and marinara sauce as well, both are good! The service is fast, perfect place for a quick lunch time meal! read more

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. read more

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 read more

The ravioli house is a great deli style restaurant with many delicious options. I would recommend the turkey avocado sandwich. The service is nice and the restaurant itself is a bit small, so this place is a great to go option, but there is still room to sit if you want to eat there. Overall, this place is better than any fast food sandwich place like subway, and is pretty reasonably priced. Overall I would definitely recommend! read more

This is more deli than cafe.   Order at the sandwich counter.  There are both tables outside and inside. Think East Coast Deli setup. The ravioli takes about 7 minutes to cook when ordered.  It is then brought to your table. The chicken ravioli with pesto is good.  The ravioli is ok, nothing really special about it. The pesto is really good. Its a good value at $13.50 I ordered the Combo.  Good sandwich and quality.  Need to get it with the works.. the heat from the peppers offset the saltiness of the cold cuts. The only negative is that the prosciutto is a bit too thick in my opinion... I could not bite through it well. read more

This place is delicious! I got the traditional beef ravioli with meat sauce. It was so plentiful and generous. Loved the mix of the ravioli with the bolognese. I liked the seasoning and flavor of the sauce. It was very comforting! I also liked the garlic and cheese bread that came alongside. I really enjoyed the bread--it was toasty and perfect! Staff were so friendly and overall very kind. I would come back here again and try their sandwiches. I saw a long line form. These are popular! read more

There was some good and bad here, but enough good to want to return. We bought some fresh pasta and sauce on a Wednesday and had it for dinner the next night (yes, after storing it in our frig). Spicy Pork Raviolli's: 2/5. Not too spicy and they had an off-putting flavor as if the meat was not too fresh. I would definitely NOT have this again. Bolognese sauce: 4/5. Pretty good sauce. I would have this again. Because their sauce is pretty good I might try a non-meat ravioli. And I read that some of their sandwiches are pretty good. read more

Found this place through a friend's recommendation. Had a couple of ravioli dishes, a Pastrami Sandwich and a plate of Lasagna (although not on the menu but I saw it in their fridge and they were nice enough to make us a plate and it was great). Everything was great although it was too much for the 3 of us. We probably packed one plate of ravioli and half the Lasagna to take home. They also have freshly made ravioli, house sauces and deli meat available for purchase and we bought another 2 packs of ravioli and sauces and 1lb of the Pastrami to go. Will definately be back when I'm in the area. read more

The pulled pork sandwich is amazing. They are quick and friendly. The raviolis are also really yummy with your choice of sauce.

The bought their traditional meat ravioli with meat sauce and some lobster ravioli with vodka sauce and a pastrami sandwich. First off the service here is prompt and nice. Super helpful especially when I was stupid and couldn't open my Dr. Pepper. The lady behind the counter helped me with the twist top when I was trying to peel the top open. Secondly the good here smells, looks, and tastes amazing. To be totally honest I didn't like their beef ravioli with meat sauce but I'm giving it 4 stars for huge portions, quality ingredients, and great service. The pasta had a decent garlic bread, and tge sauce had a lot of fresh tomatoes in it. All of which were a plus. Just wish it had more seasoning. It wasn't awful, it just wasn't my type of bolagnase sauce. Different palettes, but my friends enjoyed their dishes. My friend got a pastrami sandwich and liked it. Overall I would support and come back to this business. read more

This was the best ravioli I ever had. I had the traditional meat ravioli with meat sauce. Comes with cheesy garlic bread. My son had the spicy ravioli and he loved his too. Not many tables, we waited in line and to our surprise almost all customer orders were to go. We went there on a Saturday at noon. Definitely great food at a good price. read more

Our second time here. We had the regular Ravioli with meat sauce and the chicken ravioli with Pesto sauce. Both were delicious. Fast service and reasonable price. Easy to get in and out. read more

Friendly service and staff. The ravioli and vodka sauce was good, and, surprisingly, lots of ravioli what you pay for. Also tried the speciality mojo sandwich on Dutch crunch, all the ingredients tasted good, I only wish there was maybe more sauce or a dip because it did feel slightly dry. The garlic cheese bread on sourdough was really good, but it just sucked that they wrapped it with aluminum foil because the cheese stuck to it when unwrapping it :( (I still ate the cheese though lol) read more

As a lover of all things sandwiches, I needed to check out one of the spots that was featured in the Top 10 Delis in San Mateo County! Found myself in the area, and decided to give it a go. I don't know why but I love sandwiches that feature chicken in it. Due to the fact that I have love/hate relationship with deli meats, chicken in between two pieces of bread just hits different. That being said, it was a no brainer to go with their 'Italian Chicken' toasted with no peppers on ciabatta. The taste of the homemade pesto is what stood out in the sandwich for me. The chicken/pesto marriage is always one of my favorites, and it didn't disappoint. They also put in a some prosciutto, which honestly I could have done without. It was a pretty salt-forward sandwich, and the saltiness of the prosciutto made it a tad bit too salty for me, which makes me regret not getting the peppers because I think it would've balanced it out. Since it was my first time, I ate it here, and I'm glad I did. The warmth toasty-ness of the ciabatta was perfect for a foggy day. Although it didn't look big. the portion size was would've been perfect to split in to two-meals if I ordered a side of salad or a bag of chips. I think for $11.50, it's a pretty good value for a well-built and tasty sandwich. The service was quick and prompt. It was slightly after the lunch rush, but they were able to get a hot and toasted sandwich out in less than 10 minutes. Definitely look forward to coming back and trying out their meatloaf sando, and trying out their homemade pasta and raviolis! read more

Simple places serving good food and good service. Ravioli is cooked well and portions are large. Sandwiches are good but there are better sandwich only spots around the area but not with ravioli! read more

Incredible food and even better service. Their food is full of flavor, tastes fresh and flavor combinations are great.

As I look at more of my life in the rearview mirror than through binoculars, I contemplate how it all could end. Lately I've thought why not just take control and eat and drink my way out? If I was going to do that - and the jury is still out - I'd be eating at House of Ravioli once per week minimum. I'm not implying the food is unhealthy at all. But as I've also started to say lately, "everything in moderation." They make a lovely zucchini-ricotta ravioli with house made marinara sauce, chicken ravioli, lobster ravioli, and beef ravioli and there are several great house made sauces to choose from. My favorite is probably the pesto sauce. It's always fresh, very herby, and comes in a nice big container to go with their refrgerated packs of freshly made ravioli. There's also a full deli with special sandwiches, or you can customize. You can sit down to enjoy those, or you can have an order of ravioli and sauce of your choice with two pieces of toasty cheese bread. All they need is vino! The staff here are always nice - it's a great San Mateo spot. read more

Late post from a few weeks ago. Funny enough, even though this place is called the Ravioli House I always find myself ordering a sandwich from there. The pastrami sandwiches are really good and the bread they use is good as well. Sourdough is my ideal match for pastrami but from time to time I'll enjoy the dutch crunch as well. If you want a satisfying sandwich for lunch. I highly recommend this place. Staff is always friendly as well. read more
