Rafele

Had a fantastic meal here with a big group. Meatballs , artichoke salad , and pastas were on point. Don't miss the cheese cake .

the dining room and the kitchen are one, in classic Italian style. Rafele offers a range of pastas and pizzas , along with some creative combinations of dough , cheese , and pork .

Good homemade pasta , good service , cute spot and wonderful place to spend a casual summer evening. Started with octopus and got the pillowy light gnocchi special with mushroom aka all my buzz words

Honey Italian tattoria. We had the tasting menu coming with miniature mussel stew , gnocchi ,fried artichoke with Parmesan and cod in parchment paper. All fresh and flavorful.

The food is excellent, with stellar service to match. The pizza here is just incredible. Try the mushroom pizza .

The service is a bit slow, but the food is pretty good. The eggplant appetizer , brussel sprouts and mushroom pasta all stand out. Enjoy dinner with a glass of vermentino!

The food was awesome, from the fish to the pastas . Their desserts are amazing and the attention is incredible. I'm definitely coming back soon.

Incredible house made pasta and warm friendly service . Split a piece of Italian cheesecake with your table for dessert .

Everything that I've had thus far has been Delicious. I particularly love the stuffed Zucchini Blossoms.

Appetizers; mozzarella , calamari fritti , main: branzino , pesce soap is perfect!

Sit outside, get a spritz, and enjoy a few appetizers and pastas

Everything I have here has been outstanding. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner

Literally everything. Calamari , gnocchi and eggplant are my faves. Don't skip dessert . Feels like home

Holder of the Guinness World Record “Most expensive cheesecake” and the record is USD 4592.42

The hidden gem of NYC probably the best Italian restaurant I have been to it is so fresh and always tastes good

Score a table outside , order an Aperol Spritz and people watch ...the fritto misto is solid delicious!

Brilliant service and an amazing chef 's menu! A wonderful experience!!!

Great Italian food in town 😁 try pizza bianca and terrine di mare👍

Every single dish is delicious♥ ultimately the best italian restaurant in nyc to me.

I had a tube pasta with octopus and it was absolutely delicious.

Best calamari ever! Fried sage and lemon add an unexpected flair.

love the open kitchen and design of this place! yummy yummy food too.

Be sure to try the fried pizza dough with prosciutto and any of the pastas that feature seafood : Read more

Always good - great staff and a wonderful time

Awesome place. Pillowy spinach ricotta gnocchi special was amazing

Tomaso Rongi is a great waiter and the owner is Rafelw Rinca. Fabulous food and service.

Food was amazing!! Wine was great too!

everything we ordered was great. the service was nice too.

Awesome! Everything was excellent. Highly recommend.

Great cocktails *and* great service

Sangria was a little sweeter than I prefer

Ricotta Cheesecake is a slice of heaven!

LAMB RAGU = YUM

Awful service. They put us downstairs and they forgot about us. I was trying to get some cheese for my pasta and there was no one coming for over 10 minutes. And the pasta was not tasty at all.

It's on the food tour path so locals beware; but the pizza is good enough to pretend I don't live a block away!

sit by the bar for a great time and plenty of comped booze

Zero buybacks and i think they charged us extra for things we never had. Perils of coming in such a large group. More misses than hits. Go pasta over pizza . Every dish needed more pop.

Their ricotta cheesecake is a thing of beauty.

Grotto Misto is a huge portion !

The service was bad, the waiter only show up 3 times during dinner : to take the order, to give us check and to return our credit card, food was ok but not as good as we expected and over priced

The side served with the bread was good. However my Ravioli entree undercooked and cold.

Nice but a bit pricey place

Great food great service

Everything is fantastic!

Best cheesecake ever!!!

Delicious. Get the meatballs .

The chocolate volcano dessert is extremely proper.

Calamari and gnocchi !

Pizza . Pasta

This. Place. Is. Wonderful.
