A true taste of Italy tucked away in the heart of Ramsey, Ravioli House is a cosy, family-run restaurant and takeaway that has been winning the hearts (and appetites) of locals with its authentic flavours, hearty portions, and unmistakable Italian charm. Run with passion and pride by Paolo and Massimo, this much-loved spot brings the spirit of southern Italy to the Isle of Man — offering lovingly prepared, traditional dishes made fresh to order and available for collection only.
At the heart of the menu is the restaurant’s signature dish: homemade ravioli filled with creamy ricotta cheese and spinach, served with your choice of classic sauces such as rich tomato, butter and sage, or velvety cream. It’s a simple but soul-satisfying meal that reflects the roots of Italian home cooking — and sets the tone for what’s to come.
The rest of the menu is equally impressive. You’ll find a wide array of hand-stretched 12-inch pizzas, cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven, alongside generously stuffed oven-baked calzones. The pasta selection is extensive, featuring timeless favourites like spaghetti Bolognese, lasagne, penne arrabbiata, and a rich, indulgent carbonara. For seafood lovers, the Frutti di Mare is a standout — loaded with local queenies, mussels, and prawns, all tossed in a light tomato sauce and served with finesse.
Beyond pasta and pizza, Ravioli House also excels in its grill and homestyle mains. Dishes like grilled sirloin steak, Italian-style chicken breast, and a beautifully slow-cooked Manx lamb stew showcase the rustic, satisfying flavours of Italian countryside cooking. These dishes come served with rosemary roasted potatoes or fresh vegetables, offering a hearty and balanced option for anyone craving something more substantial.
And for dessert? Look no further than their homemade tiramisu, available in both classic and pistachio versions. Light, creamy, and full of flavour, it’s the ideal way to round off your Italian feast — whether you’re dining at home or picking up a treat for later.
The atmosphere at Ravioli House is welcoming, unpretentious, and all about great food made the traditional way. While they serve dinner most evenings, Saturday lunch is also available, making it a popular choice for weekend indulgence. With a strong local following and limited capacity, booking ahead is recommended, even for takeaway orders.
If you’re looking for authentic Italian cooking, made with care and passion, Ravioli House is a Ramsey gem — a place where every bite tells a story of tradition, flavour, and family.
