Rafele Ristorante

“Warm and welcoming neighborhood bar & italian restaurant with great drinks and good food.”

“We were looking for a cozy Italian spot and couldn’t have chosen better. The atmosphere was lovely, the service was friendly, and we were absolutely delighted with the pizza and the complimentary treat from the restaurant. The pasta had an unusual recipe, but we really enjoyed it. Definitely worth recommending!”

“Lovely decor with a cozy vibe. Good service. The mushroom and sausage papardelle was very good. The menzana eggplant was also good. Fried artichokes were just okay.”

“Unfortunately when you walk in there's a distinct smell of bathroom cleaner. I learned later it's because the bathroom is right next to the kitchen which is open to the restaurant. The service was friendly but spotty. The recommended calzone arrived cold on the inside. The dough was nice but the cheese was cold not melted. The salads had way too much dressing. Overall a mediocre experience, sadly. We were expecting so much more.”

“The atmosphere is really nice, service was attentive, and the cocktails were very well done. The only downside for us was the carbonara. It had shallots or diced onion in it, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu. That caught us off guard since it’s not typical for this dish. Not saying it can’t be done that way, but it would have been helpful to know in advance as we likely would have ordered something else. Aside from that, everything else about the evening was enjoyable.”
