This restaurant was okay but nothing to shout about. The sauce has potential, the pastries are good, but everything else is not. My husband got Chicken Marsala. It was unseasoned, dry, and chopped up like dog food. The Marsala sauce was delicious. I opted to try a little of everything and found my food cold, and under seasoned. The pasta... More

We took our daughter, son-in-law and grandson on a Saturday night. It's a great family restaurant, excellent food and awesome atmosphere. We recommend the cheesy bread as an appetizer. We all enjoyed our main dishes. Desserts were canalonni and tiramisu. We will certainly return. More

Entrees were good. The Lasagna and the Tour of Italy were good. However, my iced tea glass had a large obvious lipstick mark on it, which made me worry about the restuarant's cleanliness and health risk. We told the waitress, who brought me a new glass but no apology from the manager or other explanations. The dessert, mango cake, was... More

My adult daughter’s birthday. We traveled up from Draper. She couldn’t decide which restaurant on historic 25th street so I suggested we go to the #1 rated, Rovali’s. We were the only one’s in there late Friday afternoon. The service/waitress was fantastic. The food tasted good. The serving size was medium. We ordered 3 pasta dishes, 2 beers & 1... More

The portions are tasty and good sized, but don't plan on taking home left overs. Entrees are inexpensive $8-$15. However, the most inexpensive glass of wine will set you back $7. Server was pleasant. Atmposphere was casual. Location was great. More

Visited Rovali's yesterday for lunch with a friend and my son. Nice casual atmosphere, not too crowded. Menu is simple but the food is fantastic and the Italian cheesecake is to die for. Would definitely go back! More

I visited during my yearly trip to the Ogden area to ski Snowbasin. “Alex” the owner greeted us warmly and gave us a nice table in the next room away from the main dining room where a solo singer/guitar player was providing the Saturday night entertainment. He was fine but we desired to talk vs. watching his performance. To my... More

We, as a family, have been in Rovalis many times. Everytime has been a perfect dining experience. The quality of the food and ingredients is unsurpassed as freshly cooked Italian-style cuisine!! The prices, for both dinner and lunch, are surprisingly reasonable. The service is always quick and efficient as we come in for a working lunch, and the service is... More

Rovali's is a great little restaurant in downtown Ogden. We went there for dinner based on it being rated #1 on TriptAdvisor. As always, there's both good and bad points to post here. First the good - the food was excellent. I had the Chicken Marsala, and my colleagues had pasta dishes (seafood linguine & lasagna). Their wine choices are... More
