"we had been to Ravioli's a few times before. In fact, it was out favorite new restaurant in Lake Elsinore. The last time we were there, 2-13-12 it was not up to par. Most of the food was as good as usual, but my wife ordered the veal and it was pretty terrible. It was tough, and some of it not really edible. We were both really disappointed and quite frankly shocked, because of our past experiences here."

"Very disappointed that the regular menu wasn't available. I recieved a very vague voicemail about the valentine special but was under the impression both menus would served. The valentine menu had 1 maybe 2 things I would have eaten so we left. I was very disappointed out valentines day plans were ruined."

"I've lived in Elsinore for over four years now and have known about Ravioli's for quite sometime. However, whenever considering dinning out I have always opted for heading down to Temecula or Orange County. I decided that it was time for me to try Ravioli's and boy...what a pleasant surprise! A priceless gem in the City of Lake Elsinore. I was quite impressed with the interior, sure didn't feel I was in Elsinore, loved the ambience, the staff and most of all the food. I only wish I had given Ravioli's the chance years ago. Ravioli's Italian Bistro will sure be on my top selections for dinning out from now on...a place I can take or refer my friends to. Outstanding!"

"There was a problem with one of our food dishes. I brought it to the attention of our service. She immediately took care of it by deducting it from our bill & also told the owner. He immediately came over to apologize, offered another dish & comped my friends "bday" cheesecake:-)"

"My date and I went on a on Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised. My date is of Italian descent so it was was nice to see her smiling when we sat down. Great atmosphere!. When they didn't have exactly what she wanted on the menu, she asked the waiter if the chef could make a special entree for her. With the list of ingredients in his heads and how to mix it up, off he went to the chef. It came out looking like something on a TV cooking show and when she tasted it, she almost had a tear in her eye. Thanks again for making this a very special night for me and my date. I will definitely be back!!"
