Maboneng goes Italian

TRENDY, UPMARKET RESTAURANT OPENS IN CITY DISTRICT Experience Italian cuisine with a contemporary African twist.

New to the Joburg precinct, Ravioli restaurant and bar is a contemporary Italian dine and drink hotspot with an African twist. Specialising in delicious Italian fare, the restaurant offers a spacious dining experience where friends, families and couples can enjoy a meal while taking in the culture which embodies the location.

Owned by restaurateur Mpho Earnest Masilo, Ravioli is fast becoming a local favourite and the talk of the town.

With numerous cafés, bars and restaurants along the precinct strip, the young restaurateur saw an opportunity and decided to purchase an old parking basement and renovate it into a buzzing eat-out spot.

Masilo believes charity beginning at home, and saw fit to employ residents of the neighbourhood who enchant you with their vast knowledge of the menu and specialties.

Whether in the mood for freshly baked mozzarella pizza or decadent home-made pasta to tantalize your Mediterranean cravings, this young, upmarket restaurant is sure to deliver down to the very last bite.

As Luciano Pavarotti once said, “One of the nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.”

Ravioli is open from Monday to Thursdays between 8am and 11pm, and weekends from 8am until midnight.

It is well worth a visit.
