At our Bothell Italian restaurant, you can enjoy this classic favorite in the form of our ravioli di funghi, stuffed with wild mushrooms and seasonal mushrooms.
The story of ravioli goes back to medieval Italy. Its name comes from from an Italian word that means “to stuff”, based on the way that the pasta is prepared. The earliest known record of this dish comes from Francesco de Marco, an Italian merchant from the 14th century. In the same century, mention of the dish appeared in English manuscripts, showing that ravioli had made its way throughout Europe early on. Today, it is one of Italy’s best known traditional dishes.
