Ravioli for All Tastes

Yes, there is cheese ravioli (plus five cheese ravioli of ricotta, Parmesan, Romano, mascapone and blue), but diners at have a wide world of tasty hand-made ravioli from which to choose. The trick is deciding which one because they are all so delicious and distinctive.

The Dish: Ravioli (per order from $15.95 for cheese to $23.95 for lobster; half orders are also available as appetizers).

What's inside: The fillings are apple, artichoke, asparagus, cheese, five cheese, chestnut, duck, lobster, meat, porcini mushroom, pumpkin and spinach.

How's It Taste: First let's talk about the dough. Handmade of duram flour, egg, water, olive oil and salt, the dough is especially tender and so thin that the ravioli takes only two minutes to cook. This is very unlike typical thick ravioli dough that is more noodle-like. Every filling works well with the dough. Some tastes – such as the pumpkin – are mild and pleasant, while the flavor of the duck ravioli is intense.

Each type of ravioli comes with a recommended sauce but it is possible to mix it up by combining different types of ravioli and selected different sauces. Cheese ravioli – the most typical – is served with tomato sauce. Lobster ravioli comes with a Dijon mustard brandy cream sauce and duck ravioli is best in a triple sec cream sauce.

Sides: All you need with this is a fresh salad with vinaigrette dressing and a glass of Italian wine and you have a satisfying meal.

Note: You can purchase the ravioli and sauces frozen to make at home.
