Holy Ravioli! Celebrate National Ravioli Day

March 20th is National Ravioi Day, and what better way to celebrate a foodie holiday than with local restaurants’ spin on a beloved Italian dish. Here’s a list of ravioli-friendly restaurants and stores in Bucks County – yum!

  • Pappardelle’s Pasta in Newtown has hundreds of dried kinds of pasta — including ravioli!
  • Francisco’s On The River in Washington Crossing has a wonderful Italian menu, featuring ravioli stuffed with spinach or lobster. Call for availability and menu information: 215.321.8789.
  • Vecchia Osteria in Newtown has ravioli di mamma on their menu (homemade ricotta filled ravioli topped with spinach & fresh mozzarella in a light pink cream sauce). Contact the restaurant for menu changes.
  • Cafe Alessio in Doylestown has nice homemade ravioli on their menu last time we checked.

You know what goes well in raviolis? Cheese. And here’s where you can find some amazing cheesemakers in both Bucks County and New Jersey, including Fulper Farm which makes delicious ricotta.
