In August 2010 he was loaned to Lega Pro Prima Divisione (Italian third level) club Salernitana with an option to purchase.[2] The club reached the promotion playoffs but losing to Verona in the finals. Ragusa himself was in the starting eleven in the playoffs as wing forward/winger in the 4–3–3/4–2–3–1 formation, to support Dino Fava along with Fabinho.[3][4] In June 2011 Salernitana excised the option but Genoa also excised the counter-option for €100,000.[5] At the end of season Salernitana also bankrupted again.

He picked no.90 shirt.[7] Despite only half of the appearances as starter under former Salernitana coach Roberto Breda, Ragusa scored 6 goals in late September to October (round 6 to 12). Ragusa started most of the game fixture from October (round 9) to 10 December (round 19), partnering centre forward Emiliano Bonazzoli or Fabio Ceravolo in 3–4–1–2 formation (with Simone Missiroli as play-maker)[8][9][10] The coach then used him to play as an attacking midfielder/wing forward in 4–2–3–1/4–3–3 formation.[11][12] Ragusa was out-favoured by Breda in his last two games in charge, with the return of 3–5–2 featuring another forward Alessio Campagnacci to partner with Alessio Viola or Bonazzoli.[13][14] Despite new coach Angelo Gregucci used 3–4–3 formation in his first game (against Modena), Ragusa remained on the bench. The coach again rotated its starting XI in order to find the best formation. Ragusa returned to starting XI in round 25 and again in round 27, as a right midfielder in 3–5–2 formation.
