Ravioli House - San Mateo

"Get in Here" -- the sign at the entrance says it all.

Ravioli house in San Mateo is a popular lunch destination, serving a variety of sandwiches, and not surprisingly, ravioli. When we walked in past noon, the tiny restaurant was bustling, most of the tables were occupied, and there was a line of people waiting to place their orders.

They are popular for both their sandwiches and ravioli, and the selection of ravioli available for lunch changes often.

Our group got the Eggplant Ravioli (seasonal, and very unusual!), the Spicy Sausage Ravioli, the Mojo Sandwich, and an Egg Salad Sandwich. Everything was really good! If we had to make one complaint it would be that the egg salad was a little bland, it would be a whole lot more interesting if they actually chopped pickles and added it to the mix rather than just putting sliced pickes on the sandwich.

The ravioli was great too, we got ours with marinara but the also offer bolognese sauce. The ravioli is a huge serving, so we recommend getting one order of ravioli and perhaps a sandwich and sharing that with someone. If you really love ravioli, they even sell packages of fresh pasta to take home - from the traditional cheese or meat, to the more inspired eggplant, pumpkin, lobster etc. In fact, their marinara is pretty good, so get some of that to go as well!

Bottom Line:
Price - $
Ambience - Casual
Vegetarian Friendly - Yes
