Very nice pleace. We celebrated my birthday here. The food and service were great. Me and my family like it.
This place is tiny but the food is amazing. We walked in at almost 8 pm and were able to be seated quickly- grilled octopus to open over a purée of roasted zucchini and eggplant was so delicate and flavorful it could have been our meal. We followed it up with stuffed meatballs over linguine for me and my husband had sausage risotto- both were wonderfully flavored and filling. While we generally aren't dessert people- the ricotta cheesecake is not to be missed. A wonderful night in NYC and we will happily return our next time in!
My first time in NYC and my wife son.and I had dinner at Da Raffaele. It was a beautiful experience. From the delicious food and wonderful service. The service and conversation with the owner made the night something to remember. Everything from the octopus compachi to the wonderful desserts including the homemade orangechello was so good. Highlight of our trip.
The food and service were great. We had the Polipo, grilled octopus with eggplant puree, dry ricotta, red onion and tomato. For entrees, we had the linguine with baby octopus, zucchini puree, mussels & cherry tomatoes which was fresh with a good flavor. The second dish was swordfish with fresh vegetables. In general, the service was great and food was good. Would come back for sure.
Excellent dinner. Monkfish with fresh artichokes was outstanding. It had a chicken like texture. Grilled octopus with eggplant purée another winner.Pachierri stuffed with cheese and meat rolled and fried - moist and tasty - not a hint of grease flavor. There is something for everyone here - pasta, fish, game, salads. This remains one of my neighborhood favorites. You can actually have a conversation.
Very pleased, overall! We celebrated my hubby's birthday here, and I called weeks in advance to plan for a table of 10. The food was delicious, abundant, and the service was so warm and accommodating. We felt very well taken care of, and it was so nice not being forced to order from a prix fixe menu.
It's a nice hidden gem in the neighborhood! The place is very warm and inviting, and it has a very romantic playlist. The waiter is very friendly and offered amazing recommendations. We end up getting monkfish, chicken breast with roasted peppers, and the escarola. The portion is generous and the flavor is right on spot. I will be back to try the Bronzino and the Nutella crepe for sure!
This was my second visit to Da Rafaelle's and in addition to a delightful pasta dish with perfectly cooked pasta (Al dente) I was treated to a wonderful slice of chocolate almond flourless torte. It was the best slice of flourless cake I've had since my sweet 16 party 60 years ago! The ambiance is perfect: small, not too noisy even when full, and attentive staff. We shall return!
Food is superb. Tuscan wine is excellent. Aracını iş very good as well as pasta We enjoyed everything Quaint and charming. Owner/chef very accommodating.
