The appeal maybe? "To me, the appeal of this restaurant is their sumptuous ravioli."
From Cambridge Dictionary: "the quality in someone or something that makes him, her, or it attractive or interesting:"
- sex appeal
- Spielberg's movies have a wide appeal.
- This used to be a marvellous hotel but it has lost its appeal in recent years.

The word magnet is often used metaphorically, and is probably usually one of the most natural-sounding of the set of synonyms:
magnet noun ...
1.1 A person or thing that has a powerful attraction.
‘the beautiful stretch of white sand is a magnet for sun-worshippers’
ODO
However, I'd have to re-arrange OP's example to 'The sumptuous ravioli is a magnet for many people at this restaurant.'
Crowd-puller, main attraction, inducement and lure are synonyms that may work on occasion.

If you're looking for a colorful word, you could use also catnip:
Someone or something that is very attractive or appealing to a particular person or group.
e.g. For me, this restaurant's sumptuous ravioli is just catnip.

I think "draw card" is probably the closest common phrase. "Drawcard" if you want a single world. Dictionary definition:
a quality or feature that evokes interest or liking; an attraction.
In this case one might say
For me, the draw card of [xyz restaurant] is their sumptuous ravioli.
By itself "draw card" would, in my experience, suggest that people in general would find it attractive, so qualifying it as a "personal draw card" would specify that it's your favourite dish.

The single word for "the thing that attracts" (as opposed to describing the attraction itself) is:
Attractant
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/attractant
Most examples of this word usage are for the chemical substance produced by insects to attract each other: however it may be used in a general sense also.

When there may be more than one thing that is attractive but we want to point out the most attractive thing, we often use main attraction:
The main attraction at Yellowstone Park is Old Faithful. (Oxford
US)
The main attraction at Giverny is Monet's garden.
(Oxford)
I think that would work well here too:
The main attraction for me at this restaurant is their sumptuous ravioli.

– micahhoover
May 21 at 18:23
@micahhoover : "pièce de résistance" doesn't remind me of anything in French. closest match is "plat de résistance", which just mean the main meal, and says nothing about the appeal one of the menu option has on the speaker.
– sylvainulg

"attraction" works for Yellowstone or Giverny because it may mean "An entertainment that is offered to the public" [wordwebonline.com/search.pl?w=attraction] , which obviously doesn't work for Raviolis.
– sylvainulg

@sylvainulg Old Faithful isn't "entertainment" either, other than in a very loose definition of the word that would also work for ravioli. I would just say that the reason attraction can work for ravioli is that it's something that attracts :)

@Siddhartha An easy mstake to make but a "drawer" is sliding part of a piece of furniture, very occasionally a graphic artist or, even less frequently, someone who pulls raffle tickets from a hat or water from well. A "draw" is an attraction.

The word magnet is often used metaphorically, and is probably usually one of the most natural-sounding of the set of synonyms:
magnet noun ...
1.1 A person or thing that has a powerful attraction.
‘the beautiful stretch of white sand is a magnet for sun-worshippers’
ODO
However, I'd have to re-arrange OP's example to 'The sumptuous ravioli is a magnet for many people at this restaurant.'
Crowd-puller, main attraction, inducement and lure are synonyms that may work on occasion.

If you're looking for a colorful word, you could use also catnip:
Someone or something that is very attractive or appealing to a particular person or group.
e.g. For me, this restaurant's sumptuous ravioli is just catnip.

I think "draw card" is probably the closest common phrase. "Drawcard" if you want a single world. Dictionary definition:
a quality or feature that evokes interest or liking; an attraction.
In this case one might say
For me, the draw card of [xyz restaurant] is their sumptuous ravioli.
By itself "draw card" would, in my experience, suggest that people in general would find it attractive, so qualifying it as a "personal draw card" would specify that it's your favourite dish.

The single word for "the thing that attracts" (as opposed to describing the attraction itself) is:
Attractant
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/attractant
Most examples of this word usage are for the chemical substance produced by insects to attract each other: however it may be used in a general sense also.

When there may be more than one thing that is attractive but we want to point out the most attractive thing, we often use main attraction:
The main attraction at Yellowstone Park is Old Faithful. (Oxford
US)
The main attraction at Giverny is Monet's garden.
(Oxford)
I think that would work well here too:
The main attraction for me at this restaurant is their sumptuous ravioli.
