The Ramp Restaurant & Bar

It was Thanksgiving night when I took my granddaughter out for dinner so I expected elevated noise and slower service because it was busy. My rating is based on my experience the night I went. Pros: It is a cute place. Very "neighborhood secret mom & pop" vibe. They have a decent happy hour menu and lots of tvs for sports watching. The crowd seemed to be a bit older (which I prefer as I am too). They offer free valet parking. They offered a traditional Thanksgiving dinner as well as their usual menu. The Caprese was good. Again, it was a holiday so I gave grace for that but here we go: Con's: The parking lot is micro sized. It is right next to the freeway onramp and a gas station so there isn't much real estate for a lot. I was definitely concerned my car would get dinged. Didn't happen though. I had reservations for two. I arrived on time with my OBVIOUSLY underage 13 yo granddaughter and the Hostess tried to seat us at a hightop in the bar area. If front of the giant tv showing football that grown people drinking were watching. Nope. I asked to sit in the restaurant area. Didn't want my granddaughter in the bar. Common sense, right? Several reviews mentioned slow service and it was busy so I expected that. But this is on a new level. We sat with closed menus for over 10 minutes waiting. The only reason the waiter came by was because he was setting up for a large party and finally noticed us. We ordered our appetizers, dinner, and drinks. Salads came out. Bagged salad with nothing added, blah. The appetizers. Then the main dish. Both of us had pasta dishes. The grand had spaghetti and I had cappalini pomodoro (sp?). Mine was the most bland dish ever! Not one bit of seasoning at all. No garlic. No basil. Nothing. What Italian place doesn't offer or put cheese on pasta???? I had to ask for Parmesan. There was no bread for the table. We had to ask a food runner for our drinks cause the server never brought them. No refills were offered. There are better places.

Once inside you are in another world. When they offer you the cheesy garlic bread say yes! It’s the best!

We love The Ramp! We had a birthday party on the patio but the interior vibe is so great. The menu is varied so everyone could find something they like. Our server Alex was fantastic!

Small little place next to the 5 freeway. Very small parking lot, so I go at 5 to meet my Dad and get a spot. My Dad loves this place. Server is on the older side and doesn't always provide quick service or refills on drinks. I did make a reservation but they didn't even look or verify. Food is ok. I get the lasagna because it is always good. I like these smaller places in Burbank and I think worth going. They do have happy hour and a bar area. Which does get busy.

Quaint little restaurant with good food and drinks. Great happy hour specials too.

Charming little spot to wait for a flight to come in at Burbank Airport.
Raviolis with alfredo sauce or excellent, their garlic cheese bread is to die for and their meatball sliders are very tasty.

I nice classic restaurant tucked nearly under a freeway offers great friendly service and good food reasonably priced. I took a friend there that lives locally for their birthday and they loved it. The staff even provided a small treat with a candle and song. I look forward to returning and trying something else next time I am in the area.

Great little bar restaurant, I've had three or four dishes there that have been excellent and it is very convenient to/ for Burbank airport

Nice hidden spot near the freeway. We were trying to look for a good happy hour so decided to try this place. We ordered three items on the happy hour menu. We got the Cheese Ravioli , Wings & the Garlic Cheese Bread. Portions were really small even for two people, like kid portion size so beware of that. We only got about 2 small wings each, 2 raviolis each and split the garlic bread. And we also split the pesto pasta. The pasta was ok. We still felt hungry after that so we had to eat somewhere else after. I have been to a lot of many different happy hours , I have never seen portions so small before . I think the prices should be lower for how much little food you get. However our server was very nice and attentive and the drinks were made beautifully and they were strong. I don't think I would come back for the food though just for the deal on the happy hour drinks.

Ordered takeout from The Ramp, and wow – what a culinary nightmare. They gave me the wrong pizza, then told me to bring it back for a swap. Great, I thought… until the “replacement” flatbread pepperoni arrived looking like someone threw it in a blender, stomped on it, and then set it on fire just for good measure.

The burgers and chicken sandwich? Undercooked, soggy disasters. I’ve seen more appetizing meals in a middle school cafeteria trash can.

I love giving local spots a chance, but this was overpriced garbage that made me question every life choice leading up to this meal. Save yourself the time, money, and digestive trauma – stay far, far away from The Ramp!

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.

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.

Hidden gem of the valley! Great stop on the way to the dodger game! Especially for happy hour! Only issue is getting into the parking lot but that’s alright!
