Not much to say, honestly. We went once to the place located upstair and we both were saving a pretty good memory of that experience. This time we preferred going downstairs where the place is less sophisticated. Plus, they told us that downstair we could have many of the dishes we would have tasted at the restaurant up floor.

The service was excellent The food tasted delicious but this was the best presented food we had the whole trip. The atmosphere in the bistro was very relaxed.... More

I've been to the Locanda del Melarancio twice now. The first time was in 2007, the second time just recently. Both times I was absolutely delighted by the quality of the food and the service. We had a table right at the back - for some people it might be a bit warm there, but it was nice and cosy.... More

They have great italian food but with some amazing variations. I tried spaghetti made from potato with a pesto sauce made with pistacchio and it was delicious. Probably one of the best dishes I have ever tried in Italy. The "new" caprese salad was amazing and very tasty too. I went with my family and one of the great things... More

We were delighted to find a restaurant open during the August holidays and were delighted with the food. It has a fusion element which worked in 4/5 of our meals and even the steak with strawberry sauce was interesting and served with excellent quality steak. Quite relaxed and unpretentious and though the kitchen was not overly slow our waiter was... More

You are spoilt for choice here. A good very reasonable restaurant upstair and a bistro-style and bar-style service downstairs. The restaurant is good with a varied menu that includes some more unusual Italian dishes (game birds, wild boar, baby donkey, etc.) plus your more usual Italian fare. We ate here several times during our two years in Ravenna and never... More

First impression was that it was going to be expensive, but it was all pretty reasonable. Pretty big portions at normal prices, and the quality of the food was good too. Service was quick and polite. More
