About Ragazzi Italian Kitchen and Bar

Ragazzi Italian Kitchen and Bar strives to capture the spirit of a Mediterranean trattoria. The chefs make gnocchi Bolognese, meatballs, riceballs, and lasagna specifically. These homespun ingredients lend their flavors to classic dishes such as veal parmigiana and angel hair fra diavolo with shrimp, scallops, and calamari. Meanwhile, they let their imaginations run free on the small plates, including Italian-style spring rolls and sushi-like creations made using imported prosciutto, pine nuts, and fragrant herbs. Familiar items from each side of the Atlantic—from cannoli to homemade apple cobbler—also appear throughout a dessert selection that The New York Times hailed as "wonderful."

Ragazzi Italian Kitchen and Bar's decor echoes the warm, inviting spirit of its menu. Semicircular booths line the dining room's stone walls and dark wooden tables gleam beneath the rows of light bulbs hanging from the ceiling. In addition to the indoor seating, Ragazzi Italian Kitchen and Bar also features an outdoor patio that opens during the warmer months. In shade provided by umbrellas, diners can enjoy a meal while savoring the sights of the surrounding foliage and the hot-air balloons migrating north for the summer.
