This was perfect for a late dinner in the neighborhood after a show. It has a great atmosphere with a nice open kitchen and the servers were all really nice. The food was all wonderful - traditional Italian with fresh ingredients and well prepared. I started with the rollatiini - sliced eggplant stu
Everything was super amazing. I loved how the kitchen was visible where you could see the magic happening. All the cocktails were tasty I went during happy hour. I loved the options off of the restaurant week menu. Would return!!!
We went fir dinner last night for the first time. We sat outside and it was lovely. The staff was very attentive. Now on to the cocktails. We had the signature cocktail which had vodka, cucumber and mint. Delicious. I had the shaved artichoke salad, my husband had the linguini vongole. We shared th
Came through a recommendation on the “simply NYC” website and it was great. We had the fired pizza as a starter and then the amatriciana,pasta pomodoro and spinach ravioli for mains. Portion sizes are normal and not the American size which is great. The food itself was a bit too greasy in my opinion
Such a lovely place and very friendly staff! They were super nice and the food was super good! Definitely recommend and affordable prices ♥️
Really good Italian food. The outside terrace is very warm. Good espresso martinis.
I had the pappardelle. I’d recommend but I will be trying something else next time.
Cheesecake was incredible.
Wonderful Italian restaurant in the West Village. Enjoyed Al fresco dinner on a lovely fall night. The Zucchini Blossoms were delicious-fresh and the right amount of fried batter. The linguine vongole was perfect-homemade pasta with a generous helping of clams in the shell. The shaved artichoke sala
Great service, good food and nyc prices. Extremely busy place but everything is good.
Very solid food overall! The spinach ravioli was probably my favorite dish I tried although the crab cake is good as well. Just feels a bit overpriced. It’s also a spicy tomato-y take on crab cakes where I tend to prefer a more lemony tarter sauce crab cake. Still not make complaints regarding the f
delicious pasta and seafood dishes. i had the whole bronzino. great for groups and celebrations.
The food was really tasty and the wines were good too! We ordered a red sparkling wine which was a new discovery for us. Gnocchi was not spectacular and the pizza’s size was small but taste was really good. When asked what’s their recommendation for dessert, we were advised to go with Ricotta Cheese
Amazing Italian food. We had a large group and ordered some of the shared appetizers. The artichoke was great and the fried cucumbers were a little bland. The prices were fair and absolutely loved my main dish. Great spot in NY
Delicious brunch on Sunday!. Rafele is definitively a cozy restaurant where you feel at home with your Italian grandmother, its open kitchen invites you to enjoy one of its delicious dishes.
We’ve been coming here when in town since they opened. The service is attentive without any rush and the pasta is perfection. Bolognese is a must. This last time we tasted the taglioni neri. I added a bit of sea salt and was happy to have ventured out to try it.
We will never forget the first year w
Went last night for dinner 6:30pm. The place got packed pretty quick. Lots of big parties. They have the inside outside seating as well as indoors lol. The bread they serve is so good and comes out warm. I had the rughetta salad to start followed by the pollo alla parmigiana. Everything was deliciou
We came there for brunch around 1 pm. The place was empty, which we liked because we could enjoy our brunch more. They check vaccination card for indoor dining. Food and service was great, and they gave us a lot of time to decide. FOOD was delicious !
Here’s what we got
Fried calamari with shrimp
Awesome Italian Restaurant. Went there several times during our recent stay in NYC. Food was delicious, great wine list, excellent service by all. The cheese cake is to die for.
Or just sit at the bar, have a drink and chat to the fabulous Michael. Can’t wait to visit again. Well done guys 😛
My wife and I had lovely time at Rafele restaurant.
