Raffaella

“Absolutely amazing experience! 🍝🍕 We came here to celebrate a birthday and everything was perfect from start to finish. The pizza was incredible, the pesto pasta was packed with flavor, the eggplant parm was one of the best we’ve had, and every other pasta dish we ordered was delicious too. And the tiramisu was the perfect ending to the meal — so fresh and satisfying! What really made the night special was the service. The staff were so kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire evening, and they made the birthday celebration feel extra special for us. You can really tell they care about their guests and the quality of the food. Hands down one of the best Italian dining experiences we’ve had. Can’t wait to come back again!”

“Had the BEST bday dinner for my friend yesterday. Props to our waitress Rene. First, the food. Pesto pasta was to die for. Super basil-y and nutty. Just couldn’t stop eating it. And the speciality pizza was an eggplant and sausage one. The sausage wasn’t the most strong taste, but the roasted eggplant was phenomenal! Then we got tiramisu. Perfect creaminess. The restaurant itself was designed really nicely, beautiful art and decorations. The waitress we had was really attentive, not too much, and they treated us a nice little bday treat for my friend (I won’t ruin the surprise ;) ). It was SO good though. My friend felt extremely cared for and would easily go back here. Highly super recommend coming here!”

“LOVE RAFFAELLA! Lucky to have them in the annex, great dining experience, best pizza and pasta in the area! Been there couple times already, their lasagna is really good. Cant wait to try everything on their menu!”

“Raffaella is a beautiful space and makes for a great date night spot. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with cozy lighting, checkered tablecloths, and a stylish dining room that feels both relaxed and romantic. The standout was the pizza. The crust is made using a 150-year-old starter and delivered excellent flavour with a nice chew. We ordered half anchovy and half mushroom truffle, and both sides were packed with flavour. The only downside is that the crust is very thin, so the centre becomes soggy fairly quickly if you don’t eat it right away. The arancini was also excellent, with a rich tomato sauce and a crisp exterior. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal didn’t reach the same level. The chicken parm was disappointing for the price. I wasn’t told it came without a side, so adding a half portion of rigatoni brought the dish to roughly $36. The chicken itself tasted more homemade than restaurant-quality and lacked the wow factor expected at that price point. The rigatoni, however, was perfectly al dente with a pleasant springy texture. Dessert was another miss. The tiramisu looked promising but lacked the coffee, mascarpone, and cocoa depth that make a great tiramisu memorable. It felt flat and forgettable. Overall, Raffaella shines when it sticks to pizza. The atmosphere is excellent, the pizza is genuinely worth ordering, and the arancini is a strong starter. The rest of the menu didn’t justify the price tag on this visit.”

“The pizza was mediocre. Base was inconsistent in how it was cooked since the first pizza was crispy but the second pizza was undercooked. I would say the most disappointing part was the cold arancini balls. Also the staff weren’t very attentive as we had to constantly wait for them to come around which was infrequent. Tiramisu was good but overall I wouldn’t visit again.”
