We found Raval by chance & it wasn't yet opened on the day. Having tapas in Italy is unusual so we decided to come back for dinner at 5pm, turned out to be a highlight of our trip to Ancona Italy. We decided on a menu offer of 6 Tapas + Bottle of Wine for 48,00€. Our choices were: Roman-Style Meatballs, Ascolana olives, Mozzarella, Arancini, Veal with tuna sauce, and Mixed cutting board. All dishes were tasty & served very quickly after our order (considering we were the first customers ordering food a few minutes after 5pm). Veal with tuna sauce was a "melt in the mouth" texture, the meat slices were poached beautifully & still slightly pink, tuna sauce was tasty & not overpowering. Prosciutto & cheese in Mixed cutting board were served with some honey that cuts the saltiness nicely. Our wine choice was a Rose from Moroder Winery, which accompanied the tapas nicely. Adding to our good meal was the Latin covers of popular songs in Jazz styles, my feet were happily tapping to the rhythm. Despite some language difficulty, the staff was attentive & friendly. I was glad I asked the young man sitting at a table outside Raval about its opening hours, because he turned out to be one of the waiting staff.
Thank you Nha Le, we are waiting for you for a second round ;)
