Cinema Alexander - RAVENNA

If you up to have a special Italian food and wine treat, no better place to go. Get a testing menue! You will get 5-6 dishes from menue in a half portions size.

We just came back from an awesome dinner at Cinema Alexander, where we were astonished by the quality of all dishes, the nice ambiance, the service and the general value offered to us. At €35, the menu degustazione is impressive value for money: it included 2 antipasti chianina beef tartare and squacquerone cheese flan and chanterelles on a soft polenta bed , two mains one first course , passatelli with fondue and truffles , one second course the best pork belly I 've ever had... and, living in London, I 've had a few and a dessert passion fruit parfait . My partner in the meantime had roasted octopus with chickpea puree , corn gnocchi in fish soup and a small portion of toasted wheat spaghetti 'alla chitarra ' with sardines . Great bread, two bottles of water, three glasses of wine, coffee: less than 80€, which in London is what I would expect to spend for one person, on a meal of this quality. Add to this, the very nice setting the restaurant is housed in a converted small cinema, and the ambiance is warm and elegant, if maybe a little on the traditional side , the fast and nice service, the very welcoming owner who went out if his way to meet our requests, and this came out to be one of the best dinners we had in the last few years.

Very nice location not far from the furnished center with goto. professional and friendly staff. well prepared foods with interesting combinations. good wine paper

With son and husband, we took 2 menu fish and a fish degotation . I would say all very good , except the risotto of aromatic herbs, to my goto a little too much load of coriander that covered everything . but overall all very good . very attentive staff, kind, present but with discretion! explanations of the dishes made accurately but fast so as not to become boring!

Very nice and refined local, very kind staff, sin for waiting times of the ordered dishes.... too long.
