What People Are Saying About Raffaele Ristorante
The Owner
Raffaele Ristorante
Owner
Raffaele, the intimate East Side ristorante near Sutton Place, has long been a favorite of well-known locals who stop off for Southern Italian favorites on their way to Capri and the Amalfi Coast. The clean, sun-inspired cuisine of Naples has become the trademark taste at Raffaele. Regional specialties include shellfish rissotto, veal scaloppina with asparagus and grilled swordfish with fresh mint, carrots, and olive oil.

Excellent Service

This is not the sort of place to drop in, especially with a group of 7, but that's what we did the other night. They made room for us and gave us the usual excellent service. We had two superb bottles of wine and some fabulous main plates.
This was my 6th or 7th visit here; always a great experience, one of the absolute best restaurants in the City.
great food, great service!

We held a birthday dinner for my friend and were very impressed w/both food and service. 7 of us tried 6 main courses and all the dishes were generous and delicious. We all tried the tiramisu for dessert and that was also very tasty. It is a bit on the pricier side, and the ambience is just a homey feel, nothing fancy, but the service was very accomodating (a couple from our party unexpectedly showed up 1 hr late) and the waitstaff made sure we had everything we needed. definitely try this place out!
- Pros: food, service
- Cons: ambience
