After years of renovations and millions of dollars spent in the process, the old City Federal Savings and Loan building on Commerce Street is now downtown Montgomery’s newest fine Italian restaurant, Ravello.

“We started November 8, 2018. And we just got opened last week,” said Eric Rivera, Executive Chef for Vintage Hospitality Group, the owner of Ravello Restaurante. “It’s an older building in downtown built-in 1926. And, you know, the building had its own challenges with fully gutting and redoing everything but then hitting right into the pandemic that really put a damper on things, supply chain issues, work issues, labor issues, and just the whole thing in general.
