I often say you can tell a lot about people by the reviews they write. I hope you can tell from mine that I *love* good food! The Ramp offers incredible food and drinks, plus attentive service. After two of our fave Italian restaurants closed, we went without for a few years. We learned about this place (on an episode of Rockford Files, no less!) and knew we had to try it. The dishes we’ve enjoyed here include Chicken Parmigiana, Garlic Cheese Bread, Side Salad, Seafood Combination, plus the Steak and Shrimp. All of the food was simply fantastic and priced appropriately. We’ve also had some desserts here and I can’t recall what they were other than delicious! The warm atmosphere and romantic music in the dining room make for a great date night. I don’t understand other reviewers’ concerns about the valet. We’ve never had an issue. The parking lot is tiny and an economy with plenty of jobs is a healthy one. People need to work in a capitalist society; calm down. Since baseball season is getting started soon, we plan to come back and watch some Dodgers games in the bar. Whether you’re looking for superb dining or a relaxed bar to watch your fave sport, you can’t go wrong at The Ramp!
Interesting little place stuck between an off-ramp and the 5 fwy. It took a while for us to visit as this did not feel that inviting because of the location. However once you get in you have no idea what the location is. Small bar and small dining room but very good Italian food. They have live music at times but I have always missed it. It you want to try something that only locals are aware of, go for it.
Really cool low key place directly next to the 5 freeway. Steak was pretty good, linguine & clams was also great! Service was good, prices reasonable, and the atmosphere was just the vibe we needed after a hectic drive out of Burbank Airport. Definitely recommend!
Great little "whole in the wall" Food Is delicious and service is great. I would highly recommend this place for anyone in the mood for great Italian food or hanging out at the bar, (we had a burger this time) which was delicious. They also have a really good selection of drinks.
Classic place. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside it's classic old school awesome Italian. Lots of variety, fantastic menu, great seafood BTW, and the service is always friendly, traditional and welcoming. One of my favorites.
We found this place by looking for the best Italian restaurants since we were passing through to get to Riverside. The place is right next to the 5 fwy on ramp so we already impressed by the name. As you walk in it full of small lit lights and rustic walls making us feel like we're in Italy by night or back in time. The tables were dressed with white tablecloths, lit lamps and silverware. We were greeted nicely asking if we wanted to dine or enjoy happy hour in the bar which is the first thing when you walk in. We dined and the service was great the server please us graciously and he really made our experience better. The food was delicious and at a great price. I hope to dine here again.
