From the team behind the Michelin-starred downtown favorite, The Musket Room, comes Raf’s - a European-style neighborhood dining room and bakery located at 290 Elizabeth Street in New York City's NoHo neighborhood. The century-old space is layered in history, with wood-fired ovens dating back to the 1930s. The hearth-driven menu threads the needle through the south of France and Italy, highlighting dishes such as cast iron sfincione (Sicilian pizza), wood-kissed escargot, and dry-aged côte de bôeuf. With a focus on Island and Coastal wines and masterfully crafted classic cocktails, bar seats are available nightly for walk-in guests. Or stop by in the morning for fresh pastries, breads and espresso.
“Will definitely be back! Great ambiance and delicious food. Can’t wait to try the rest of their menu! Highly recommend their decadent French omelette, crispy shoestring fries, savory-sweet pistachio maritozzo croissant, delightful canelé, and the best bite of the day — their buttery cacio e pepe scone! Seriously amazed how they captured cheese and peppery goodness of a dish into a pastry!!”
“Really really liked this place- tucked on the side so might miss but really good quality French food. Decor was adorable both inside and outside- Parisian feel. Went with a friend and enjoyed various dishes- chicken (large portion), leeks, a couple of cocktails, and tiramisu. Perfect size portions and everything was so flavorful (loved the chicken). Super cute spot and really recommend”
“super chic vibe and great service. people were super friendly and the food was great. we got the half chicken, endive salad, bread and ravioli. ravioli was insane - super rich but great flavor. chicken was super fresh with the lemon and fresh herbs. if you can go for sinner it’s a great spot you could go to regularly.”
“Beautiful breakfast. Highly recommend for a special brunch. Lovely omelette. Update, went for dinner, so delightful. The Dorade fish was marvelous, as were the pastas. It's a beautiful little gem of a restaurant. Lovely spot, make reservations.”
“I’ve been to my fair share of Michelin Stars and other Top Tier restaurants, but I don’t kid when I say this place is amazing. Not only did the hospitality feel authentic but the restaurant offers experiences that are way more rewarding that what meets the eyes at first glance. It feels like a hidden gem with beautiful entrees and food choices that seem casual but are far from. The chicken was phenomenal and raised my expectations for food in general—I didn’t know chicken could taste so aquatic, moist, and flavorful. The bread was good or better-than-France level and paired well with the entire meal. I love this place and will definitely be back.”
