Had a wonderful authentic Italian meal of pasta and meatball and cheese ravioli. Salad and bread came with the pasta meals. Service was attentive and exceptional. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.
We stayed at a nearby B&B and the owners recommended this restaurant. We love Italian and took the advice to make a reservation. I eat a plant based diet, and usually just get spaghetti and a salad. However, this isn't a typical Italian restaurant, the menu is small and gourmet. I was initially dismayed that the only thing I would be able to eat was a boring salad. However, the chef came out and offered to modify one of the dishes for me. And I ended up with one of the best meals I've had out in a long time. Bread and dipping oil to start us off. Fire roasted red pepper topped garlic oil coated gnocchi, with tomatoes, olives and a few mildly spicy peppers. The care and attention was overwhelming to me, and I can't recommend this place to enough people. My husband was very happy with his meatball, claimed it was the best. If you find yourself in the area, please make a reservation and enjoy a great meal.
Ruvo serves no alcohol, and charges a corkage fee, so you can bring your own bottle. We chose not to. We started out with sliced Italian bread and olive oil. The bread was so soft inside, and the oil was very flavorful. My wife also had a side of meatballs. There were 3 of them. They were tasty, very dense, and literally as big as tennis balls. For dinner, we had Chicken Parmigiano over spaghetti for two. The portion was enormous. There were two huge pieces of chicken (pictured), and my wife and I made it through just one of them. It was delicious,, and the breading wasn't too heavy. We took home a lot in a doggy bag.
For desert we took a canolli and a piece of Tiramisu back to the hotel. The collision was fine, but the Tiramisu was devine. Decadent.
Ruvo only takes reservations, as they have a small dining room. The walls are covered with pictures of The Godfather and Frank Sinatra. Manager and all the wait staff are amazing.
What a great experience! Sat outside on the covered patio for lunch and split a salad and the huge chicken parm sandwich. Not only was the food great but the people were so friendly! Can definitely recommend this place!
NOTE: small place we needed a reservation. Our server was fantastic very good at her job. The food was great and so was the atmosphere. Highly recommend. With a generous gratuity we were out for about $55.
Chicken parmigiana dinner for two was great. Place is spotless and the staff couldn’t be nicer
Stayed in Connellsville during a recent ride on the GAP trail and the front desk at our hotel recommended Ruvo's Italian Restaurant. So glad she did because the whole experience was EXCELLENT! Great food, great service, and the owner treated us like family. Definitely worth a stop.
This restaurant was one of the highlights of our recent trip. The food and customer service are excellent and we felt like we had been invited to the owners home to eat. We were hiking the GAP Trail and came upon this place and ended up eating there two nights in a row. Family style options did not leave you wanting for more and Tony the owner was a pleasure to meet, don’t miss this place if you are traveling near it. Thanks to Tony and the staff for a great couple of meals
