I wish I could give zero stars, husband and I decided to try this place out after having a long day in this nice town Merced, I tried posole, first everything was amazing I got a hair on it, decided not to make a big deal about it , but it I really got disguised I still eat it , our server was ok she didn't really check on us constantly and we needed napkins had to grab some from my purse , if you ask me if I would go back , I would say No. This place needs a lot to grow , it's a nice restaurant for the type of food and service they provide . I would invest in a good chef and train employees better.

Ravellos was the best place to host my party of 75, the room with the window view of M St. was breath taking. Our events managers Emily was a rockstar she was so nice and caring she even went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you Emily!!!! We had a private bartender named Joey, he was very skilled at he's mixed drinks making them instantly and they were delicious! Joey was also very helpful changing out the trash 3-4 times while we were there. We had 2 different live bands. I thought the event upstairs would hear them and be disturbed but they could not hear anything. Thanks again Emily and Joey.

We planned a wedding for Nov 11 of 2023.. we put a $500 deposit. We tried to contact Emily numerous times. To see if we can taste some foods they offer.. never tried any food.. We have sent emails. We did receive an email saying that the owner was at the hospital and Emily can't make executive decisions like returning the deposit 4 months away from our wedding. Social skills are great. But business wise Not very Good. Thankfully we have found another venue That did offer food tasting. All im saying is if you offer food try to have at least something available to taste. Imagine having horrible food at a wedding thinking everything is ok .

My sister had her wedding here on September 16,2023. The decoration was beautiful and the bartenders working that night were wonderful. The service we got from the wedding corridnator Emily was ok. To start off we paid for 215 guest to get served, but by the time it was table eights turn to get served our guest had to wait 10 minutes because there wasn't enough made, on top of that they didn't have enough food and were scraping the sides of the pans. We paid $21.50 a plate, 20 people didn't even show and we where already running out of food, that's not right. What happened to the rest? A few of my guest were racially profiled, we are a Mexican family and one of our tios has a heavy accent he was trying to ask one of the servers a question and she was being so rude but when my mom talked to her, her voice changed completely. Another issue is that we paid a pretty penny for the champagne toast. Apparently they had an issue with staffing and Emily was the only one working so it took over 2 hours to get our champagne out so by the time all the guest recieved it, the bride and grooms champagne was warm. With the lack of staffing caused a lot of issues. We have been contacting Emily but my sister is getting no response back. We waited over a month to hear from Emily or the owner but no phone text or email.

Lousy and noisy ‘event center’ operating late at night and early into the morning, disturbing neighboring businesses and visitors to Merced.

This review is for Emily the event coordinator. My fiancé and I visited the event room in January, but we were uncertain if we wanted to use the space for a wedding. The reason why we were uncertain is because weWanted to know the prices for the other dishes besides spaghetti. Emily was certain that she would get back to us within a week with the estimation because she need to calculate everything. Unfortunately they have a good deal for a small wedding packages but the way they operate is very unprofessional.

Our wedding at Ravello's was absolutely amazing! Emily, our wedding coordinator, deserves all the credit for making it a stress-free and unforgettable experience. From handling last-minute changes to providing top-notch services, she went above and beyond.Emily took care of everything, from catering to booking the justice of the peace and photographer. We simply showed up and enjoyed our special day without any worries. Her responsiveness, accommodation, and friendly nature made the entire planning process a breeze.Without her help, we wouldn't have been able to handle our last-minute wedding changes. Emily's expertise and attention to detail were exceptional. She transformed our vision into reality, creating an atmosphere that surpassed our expectations.We highly recommend Ravello's to couples looking for a magical and hassle-free wedding experience. The venue's ambiance, outstanding service, and Emily's remarkable coordination skills will ensure your day is nothing short of perfection. Thank you, Emily, for making our wedding truly unforgettable!

Bad customer service! I was trying to plan my wedding it took a month for the wedding coordinator to get back to me. I went to tour the place and she took less then 10 minutes to show us everything and to discuss then proceeded to kick us out because she had an event. Ruined my experience.

This place has no courtesy or respect for other people living here, blasting music late at night for hours, up to and past 4am that I can hear clearly in my bedroom 6 blocks away.

I just attended a reception at Ravello's and I was impressed with the venue. I loved the lighting, table settings and centerpieces too. The food was terrible though and they ran out so not all the guests were able to be served. We have a wedding to plan soon and I had hoped this would be a contender for the reception but after this I would not choose this place. I give two stars for the deco.

Really wanted to try this place today for our team lunch. Despite their posted hours they were not open like it reflected on their website. This was very disappointing to me and has discouraged me from trying them in the future. They need to update their hours and post if they will not be opening. Their voice-mail is also full when you try to call. It's these little overlooked things that eventually grow into big things.

The bar deserves a 0. They let a woman get her face smashed into the concrete and did nothing. The bouncers even continued to joke about how some women deserve to get beat. Absolutely disgusting and not a safe place AT ALL for women, if you are a single woman or even a group find someplace better.
