We've now been coming to The Ravioli House for 20+ years and love it as much as ever. Every statement from my past reviews remains true. Come hungry and don't pass up the desserts--which never disappoint! Bonus points for always offering solid and very reasonably priced wines! read more

A longstanding establishment serving Italian Food since the 1970's with a comfortable feel to the restaurant. Service was very good and our servers were very personable. Sadly, however, the Italian food we were served was (sadly) very true to many of the other reviews on Yelp. The Meatballs were on the smaller side, with very little flavor and under seasoned. The Chicken Parm was breaded in a plainly seasoned breadcrumb and came out dry and tough. The Baked Ziti was a basic Ziti and it was what it was. The Sauce on the food is, again, bland and lacking a distinctive tomato flavor. All of this food is really what you'd expect from popping over any family members parties which was disappointing coming from a restaurant. Very basic, uninspiring dishes. They may have been there for over 50 years but a refresh of recipes and menu is severely overdue. read more

First this place is legendary. The great traditional Italian restaurant has been here over half a century and serves great homemade pasta, pastries and parm's better than anyone in South Jersey.The ravioli, chicken parm, and cannoli are some of my favorites. Family owned and operated too. read more

The Ravioli House is one of those great Wildwood Italian restaurant traditions that I have always just taken for granted because I knew it's a staple for vacationers and locals. With Over 50 years in business by the same family they know what great food is and how hospitality should be delivered. They act like they are honored to serve you great food. All waitstaff are well trained. Their rather large menu is full of fine food delivered accurately and well presented. You still get the free bread basket with your meal. Why is the food so good here and the dining experience so pleasant? --- Because it's a family run business with people who have strong ties to the local community. Quite simply, the family care about this restaurant. Take out is always neatly packed with everything extra you would get if dining in. Their back of the house bakery is as good as any Italian bakery in Philly or NY. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed. read more

The Ravioli House - Italian Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Purchased some raviolis to cook at home. The ricotta filling was very dry and not very tasty. That it!!

The pictures on these post doesn't look like anything we got. Food portions small and have gotten better meals in the diners.

Quick tip! Call ahead & get reservations otherwise you run the risk of waiting outside until your table is ready. We had reservations for 11 people. When we walked in, our first impression was, "Where are they going to fit a party of 11?" But there's a back room that's absolutely stunning & well made for big parties! With a gorgeous bar for adults, and enclosed patio for the kids to run around and play. I was ready to eat and they were ready to serve with joy! PARKING What is with parking in Wildwood and every white person having the nerve to shake their heads and mutter something negative under their breath just from a person trying to park? You parked too! Make it make sense! I'm white myself, but like, why?? Also why would you walk in front or behind a car that's trying to park? Do you have no self-awareness? There is so many other places to walk! Everyone else also has to live. I haven't been in Wildwood since the summer of 2019, I came down for my friend's birthday weekend, and I'm GLAD I don't come here often. The people who go to these places are just downright rude for no reason. I've never had this issue with people in North Jersey. Also, the parking lots are crazy tiny! And I get it, capitalism at its finest, but when it's raining & you have reservations, you want to get there quickly, efficiently, and without being poured on. But then you have to maneuver a car into a tight space. Thankfully, the parking is free, if you can find a spot that is. WAIT TIME Like I said in the intro, get reservations! They had our table waiting for us upon arrival and made our way back to it. BATHROOM There's 1 for men 1 for women. Usually there is a wait, once you open the door. Very nice bathroom, but the toilet paper roll was not in its place. The only thing I also want to note about bathrooms is the fact if you're seated in the back room, you have to go outside and back inside through the main doors to get to the bathroom. You can't cross via the open door because servers are constantly using it to come in & out with trays of food. And to come back you have to go the same way. MENU & PRICE The menu is vast! Everything is on the pricier side though! There are inclusive eats for everyone, children & vegetarian included! FOOD The portion sizes are great! I started off with an appetizer of garlic bread for $6. Each meal you have comes with a salad, and the house dressing is TO DIE FOR in my opinion. They said it's homemade parmesan Caesar dressing. I definitely need to get my hands on a similar recipe! I definitely would eat this salad more often if I could! My main course of meal was the spinach ravioli for $24. he ravioli fell short! I was highly disappointed. It had no taste. It came out green, which was awesome! The sauce it came with didn't flavor the food very well in my opinion and didn't match it at all. I honestly got the spinach ravioli because I wanted to try ravioli, and I also thought it would be the most flavorful if not the most savory of the bunch. Every meal I had up until this point, at Ravioli House, was packed with a flavorful punch so much so it made me so excited for the main course only to be let down. It was very mellow and bland. And the sauce did not help. It very like it was trying carry the ravioli and it was just not a good mix! I would definitely not be buying another form of ravioli here and would go for something else off the menu! They also had an awesome selection of non-alcoholic drinks. I went for their raspberry iced tea and was not disappointed!! I drank every last drop! Our server also brought out a dessert tray to show us what desserts they had, and I am so glad I went from the brownie peanut butter! It was to die for. I was so full so I was able to take my dessert and my leftover ravioli to go. Even the next day, the dessert was amazing! And the ravioli still tasted meh, but I was home by then and spruced it up with my own ingredients. OVERALL Everything was amazing, but the ravioli. Which is absolutely hilarious. I would definitely return though! read more

Food was not good at all. I'm actually surprised it's still in business. Meat sauce was watery, Alfredo was bland, shrimp and scallop scampi was bland as well and also seafood was definitely not fresh. Total disappointment... read more

My friend grew up coming to this restaurant and told me I had to go to try real Jersey Italian food! We had mozzarella sticks that were sooo good-not greasy and not over breaded! I had the tour of Italy to try out the different homemade pastas-I loved the stuffed shell, gnocchi, and ravioli. My husband liked the shrimp Alfredo with angel hair. The servers were attentive and prompt. The restaurant was filled but we didn't have to wait! I brought a cannoli home for breakfast!! So good! A place worth visiting!! The inside has walls of paintings of Italy and lots of families in the restaurant. The backside has a wonderful bakery! read more

Our food was over cooked and cold. The waitress practically ignored us. I asked for lemons and extra napkins, she never brought them so I had to ask the hostess and I received them immediately. Our zucchini sticks were over cooked, the sauce tasted like Ragu I would highly recommend that you do not waste your money here. One last thing, we told all of this to the hostess and all she said was I'm sorry. No comp dessert and nothing taken off the check which was over $100. We had 2 entrees and 3 appetizers. Pretty pricey for bad food read more

Great food and pastries. Theresa i will see you soon. Pizza as a app and fettucini and of course a cafre of wine read more

20 years ago we stopped in the ravioli house for dinner was very disappointed after 20 years. We decided to give it a try with takeout unfortunately it was horrible and barely any sauce. I guess it'll be another 20 years before we're back. read more

The Ravioli House - Give me a minute - Italian Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Was not expecting much because of the mediocre reviews, however, totally glad we tried it this evening! Located right across the renovated Brooklyn beach club hotel, the Ravioli House is a must for Italian pasta when in the area. Sauces are tasty, thick and fresh! Homemade pasta is also a must have along with their specialty sauces. This evening we tried the Alfredo which wA thick, fresh, garlicky and cheesy-not watery at all! My 9 year old chose this with his kids meal and he was not disappointed! He even finished off the sauce with bread. The complimentary bread left much to be desired. It was not warm not crispy but just OK. I guess good enough to dip into their saucy dishes. Their fries calamari was perfectly cooked and crispy. The marinara sauce that accompanied the calamari was out of this world! Super thick and perfectly saucy and chunky. I opted to try their bolognese with linguini and chose grilled chicken with it. I only ordered the chicken because I did not think the sauce would be saucy nor meaty-bit was I wrong! The sauce was full of chunky meat and it was delish!! My hubby ordered chicken parm with vodka sauce and he absolutely loved it! Next time will try their sangria. Not fancy therefore can dress it up or down. Friendly and fast service with both indoor and lots of outdoor seating. They had a comedian this evening outside in the tent but we didn't stay because we had our child with us and other plans. Would totally have stayed otherwise and $20 entrance fee not bad at all! Not sure why the meh reviews. I was impressed and am so glad we tried it this evening! Truthfully, had it not been for the high recommendations from family, we would have not popped in. Free parking! read more

The Ravioli House is a staple in Wildwood, they've been open as long as I've been vacationing with my family for the past 30+ years. Not a single thing has changed. Last summer I went and enjoyed a family dinner as I always do but this year we went and something was lacking. The food was great but the ambiance in the restaurant was off - no music playing, bright lighting, the band outside was muffled through the walls and wait staff was gossiping within earshot. Two iced teas, one calamari, one spaghetti and meatballs and one chicken parm - $76. This was way too expensive for this meal. We stopped over at the bakery after and it's the same exact case of pastries and cookies that have been there for the past few decades. If you're looking for an ol' reliable then stop here with the family. read more

Not good for large parties. If you have more than 6 people they put you in a detached garage which is very echoey and hard to hear. The waitstaff was very nice, but after yelling across the table to one another, they had a do come in for trivia night. No one looked interested, and he brought bad cheap wedding DJ energy to what used to be a classy Italian restaurant with lines out the door. It was so loud we spoke to the owner and she defended it and said it was advertised and people are here for the trivia night. No one was playing and there was no sign posted or we would have went somewhere else. If you want to spend $40 for a pasta dish while you can't hear yourself think, this is the place for you. It's a shame too because the food is decent (if not overpriced). We've been coming down to this place since the 80's, and I appreciate the attempt at trying something new, but this isn't it. Tomorrow they are having a standup comic come. That just sounds even worse. Also when it rains really hard the place fills up with water. read more

Made a last minute decision to come to this place and we were glad we did. The pasta was excellent, cooked perfectly and homemade, I had the veal and no complaints. All of us were hungry yet we all managed to take food home. If you are looking for a home cooked Italian meal come here, if you are looking for a fancy place the Ravioli house probably isn't for you. Traditional Italian food. We even got to see the 83 year old owner Theresa as she checked in on her customers! read more

The service was great, unfortunately the food was terrible. The red sauce was some of the worst we've had, Ragu would have been better.

* a minute ago I haven't been to the Ravioli house in years and after eating here tonight with our adult party of four .....we will not go back! We had reservations and were seated by the rude host, not in the original part (which had room for four) but in the new outdoor part where the acoustics bounce off the metal ceiling and the noise levels made us want earplugs, There was a loud family of over 20 people in the center of this warehouse type large room with with children screaming, banging on tables and food on the floor! It was so loud we could barely hear each other at our table. The chairs at tables were all different. Some tables had plastic patio chairs. There are port a potties outside for bathrooms or you can walk outside back into original dinning room and wait in line to use bathrooms. While the food and service were good it was not worth the torture or headaches we all had after dinner. Clearly Ravioli House caters to large noisy, rude parties only. So if you are looking for a nice quiet, comfortable restaurant don't go there! What a horrible atmosphere and experience! read more

I went last night and had the vodka sauce with rigatoni. I should have known what the meal quality was going to be when I saw the plate come out, coupled with asking for no sun-dried tomatoes in it and being told the sauce is pre-made in a big batch so it's already in it. Once tasted, the rigatoni was overcooked (super mushy) and the vodka sauce had NO FLAVOR at all and didn't have any julienned prosciutto in it despite what the menu says. Added grilled shrimp to the dish as well and whelp, let me tell you, the shrimp didn't even have flavor and were undercooked. My boyfriend ordered the cavatelli with broccoli and grilled shrimp. His dish had a bit more flavor due to the garlic, but overall was not tasteful. Cavatelli was overcooked just as mine was (mushy). Overall, the food was less than superb and the price tag was even worse. At the end of day, being Italian and going out for Italian food can be risky for as I know what good Italian should taste like, cook it, and have been around it all my life. The homemade pasta drew me in and the fact that this place has been here since the 70s I thought it must be good. Bottom line, don't waste your time or money going here...go to Little Italy restaurant instead (a block or so from this joint). Better tasting food, atmosphere, and a BYOB which is a plus! read more

Can't go wrong here, generous servings of wonderful, Italian comfort food and more, plus takeout and delivery too!! Very lucky to have a place like this in Wildwood crest where most of the dining is subpar. I really love the great, generous servings here perfect for a hungry family who spent the day on the beach or all day driving and settling into their hotel!! We all loved everything. I ordered meatballs and spaghetti and really enjoyed it! We got other Italian dishes such as cavatelli and broccoli and also shellfish over pasta! Please look at all my pictures, even their chicken fingers were great! Of course this isn't five star, expensive dining fare, but this comfort food made everybody smile and everyone was certainly FULL afterwards lol!! There wasn't much talking during dinner that night!! :) Highly recommended if staying in Wildwood and looking for a reliable, generous and good quality Italian. Their take out operation is great but they also deliver as well! read more

I got the chicken parm with spaghetti and vodka sauce, it was very bland, some of the worst vodka sauce I've ever had in my life. In addition to this, the portion size did NOT match the price tag. $28 for a fistful of pasta and the thinnest piece of chicken ever. Not to mention the $4 up charge for the vodka sauce, which tasted watered down and not seasoned at All. Service was less than desirable as well, our waitress was not very attentive. And are you serious, outhouses? For this price I expect nicer amenities, very very disappointed with everything overall. read more

This is my new favorite restaurant! Came with my husband and son a few weeks ago and it was delicious and I kept saying I wanted to go back. Tonight we went with a group of 6 after a fiasco at a different restaurant, we got right in with no wait and everyone loved their meals! The homemade pasta is amazing and we all got desserts, which were really good too! The only downfall was the food took a little while to come out, despite it not being busy and our server was very nice but not extremely attentive. We will definitely be back though! read more

We love the Ravioli House. Good food, nice atmosphere. Yummy bakery on site. We'll be back.

This place is underrated for sure! Great place to bring the family for Italian food, great service, and a feeling of being at a family members house. Great experience while visiting the shore, will come back for sure. read more

Katie was a terrific waitress unfortunately though food was not up to par I'm sorry, but for an Italian restaurant, the red sauce tasted like it was out of a can. The meat raviolis had a strange flavor too The eggplant parm was ok very bland needs some basil or something Sorry I really wanted to love it ... it's not good Italian food at all yuck Even the bread on the table was hard, and cold and they didn't even attempt to warm up before served ! BEWARE stopped in the back pastry shop ordered two items. One was $12 and one was $5 overcharged us, the girl in the back charged us $20 there was no prices for anything, so the the next day I called and found out what the prices were. I'm sorry but five dollars plus $12 equals $17 w tax total should have been $18.19, she pocketed an extra $1.81 {on top of the already high prices} If she does that with every customer she's pocketing a pretty penny on top of her salary..so thanks for ripping us off...girl with tied back dark brown wavy hair and green eyes read more

Party of 19 that included 7 under 7 and 2 infants. Emily our server was great! The food was wonderful and the service was great! Each entree cane with a side salad with a great dressing. We had tons of different types of delicious meals and yes, had tons of leftovers to bring home for a second chance to eat this great food. I will share that the Puttanesca sauce was out of this world! We were outside and the atmosphere was so enjoyable with music from a live performer. Great place. We will return next year... read more

If you like real Italian food, this is not the place for you. We ordered garlic bread with cheese, calamari, linguine with clams and steamers, veal saltimbocca, manicotti and a bottle of prosecco. The garlic bread was a split hoagie roll smothered in mozzarella. Yes there was plenty of good garlic flavor but the bread was soft and mushy. The calamari was terribly overcooked. You could barely taste the calamari for the heavy hard cornmeal breading. The linguine with clams would've been good if the linguine hadn't been cooked to an utter mush. I don't understand how a place that prides itself on making its own pasta could treat it so terribly. The clams themselves tasted fresh and the sauce was good but with mushy pasta who cares? The veal saltimbocca was overcooked to the point of utter tastelessness. It appeared to be deep fried not pan sautéed. It was a tough rubbery mess. The manicotti in a basic red sauce was fine. The bottle of Prosecco we ordered was utterly mediocre. With all of the reasonably priced decent Proseccos out there, I don't know how they managed carry one that was not worth drinking. This was my first and last time ever dining in this establishment. Given that this was a Friday night in October, you'd think they could have done better than this. The service was very good. If you want their ravioli or other house-made pasta, buy it and take it home and prepare it yourself. read more

Service was great . Didn't get photos of the food. Bland food and soft pasta. The jumbo shrimp parm left a lot to be desired. Looked like Sea Pack shrimp from the freezer section of grocery store with some melted cheese covering it-not fresh mozzarella. Same goes for the chicken parm. The meatballs and spaghetti were warm and not even hot. We sent the spaghetti back and the new portion was hot. Pizza-meh. Sorry One and done for us. read more

The place is called the Ravioli house. In my experience, when the food item is the same name of the restaurant, the meal has been predetermined. I ordered the lobster ravioli. It was magnificient and melted in my mouth. I have not one complaint about the food. While I think the prices were a bit high for what you were getting, I don't think they're outragious either. I had the pleasure of talking with the original owner of the place. She was a hoot. It's like they paid an actress to play this part of old owner...it was somewhat surreal, but she was wonderful to talk to and get a history on the place at the same time. The services was good too and a great time was had by all. read more

It was our first time trying the Ravioli House for dinner. The calamari was rotten, it smelled and tasted like bad fish. The gravy (sauce) on my gnocchi was like red water. It had no taste and was the consistency of water. We spent $120.00 on food that we couldn't eat. We threw everything away. It is was supposed to be my birthday dinner. Unfortunately, we couldn't even eat what they prepared. read more

We've ate here twice while visiting the shore on separate trips. Arrived on a Saturday around 5:15pm. Small wait before being seated. Service was amazing, on us regularly and kept everything topped off. Even brought a 2nd bread basket which we enjoyed. Main entrees were delicious, all pastas are homemade and we enjoyed their red sauce. We splurged for dessert and they had plenty of options to chose from but landed on a slice of red velvet cake for my son. Ambiance is cute and quaint. We've decided that this is our favorite Italian place at the shore after trying several others. read more
