First night in the area and we wanted somewhere we could walk too. Wow best meal of our South American adventure. With both owners working one in the kitchen and one in the front this has a lovely family feel. Food perfect with lots of choice and everything home made. We never go back twice when we are on holiday but we will be returning. The owner speaks near perfect English and the other delightful waitress was great explaining the menu to us. Well worth a visit.

Loved this place! The Provoleta is probably the best I ever had. Make reservations if you go over the weekends because is usually really packed. The oven vegetables are amazing too. Everything comes with a side or over the food pesto that is amazing. Ask to put it on the side if you are not sure because almost all plates come with it.The Milanesa napolitana is amazing too.

Great food in a beautiful environment. The beef was excellent as were the pastas. The location is even better -- beautiful water views in a really bright modern space.

My wife and I stopped at Raviolandia for lunch while driving to Punta Este from Montevideo. Place is on the main coastal highway hard to miss. The pasta was fresh and the sauce was very nicely done. Not spicy and imagine would be a great stop with kids. This is a very basic no frills type place so not a destination, but certainly worth stopping while on the way. My wife had the gnocchi with tomato sauce and I had the gnocchi with Bolognaise sauce. Both were excellent. Give them high marks for a clean place, good service and good quality food.

I truly don't understand why this place is not on top of the rankings. I had an AMAZING meal, fresh fish, perfectly cooked, crispy, tasty salad and a scrumptious dessert. I spent much less than in nearby Medio y Medio. Ambience is simple but nice, with a burning fireplace and all. I fully recommend this place.

Place is very small, only 5 tables so better to book if possible. They offer some cocktails from which we tried two (mojito and gin citric) and they were nicely made. Then we had empanaditas de osobuco and a small pizza as starters; both of them nice although the empanaditas really rocked. They were really good.Pizza's dough was neutral, pre-cooked and standard;toppings were nice. For the main dishes we went for the "lasagna de carne" and "moussaka de cordero". Great options, felt like grandma's cuisine.The only down-side to the experience was their wine menu, which is terribly short and options are not the best. Their fanciest bottle goes for 460 pesos and its a pinot noir. Overall, we had a great dinner, the service was truly good and attentive. Will surely come back.
