Raffaello Ristorante

Raffaelo's - A Must-Try Italian Gem!Raffaelo's is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants around! The food and drinks are always out of this world, making it the perfect spot for date night, family gatherings, or special occasions.Parking is super convenient, located just across the street, which is a huge plus. Reservations are highly recommended because this place is definitely popular--and for good reason!If you're craving delicious, authentic Italian food with a great atmosphere, Raffaelo's is the place to go. Can't wait to come back!

Parking - There is street parking and 2 parking lots (payment required unless it's after 6pm). Make sure to read the signage about payment policies.We went on a Thursday night and were seated right away. They bring you bread and a small plate with a couple pieces of bruschetta and some other roasted veggies. Entrees come with a small salad, but neither one of us ate it. It didn't taste like it had any dressing on it, so I'm guessing there was probably only a little olive oil on them. We started with the mozzarella starter. It comes with 3 small mozzarella sticks. I don't think it was worth the price, but they were tasty.I had the Penne Mare Monti. While the portion was generous, I wouldn't order it again. It lacked flavor in my opinion and there were only about 6 pieces of shrimp total.Service was good. The one thing that was more irritating was all of the birthday singing. I understand that people want to celebrate at restaurants, but it was happening every few minutes. Maybe just give the person a petite dessert and call it a day.Nice dining rooms with lots of tables. Plenty of seating for small and large parties.

BELLÍSIMO!The moment you enter those doors you're treated like Family! Tony and Gino are master of curating an ambiance of great food and great ala Italiano essence through and through! The new location makes me so proud and happy to be a consumer years of Raffaellos and seeing this family kill it in the industry! Don't forget to check out Alessandro he's got a great voice!

A solid (and large!) Italian restaurant. Upon walking in, we were warmly greeted and seated right away with complimentary apps and water. We ordered calamari, the short rib pappardelle special, and I can't remember what my husband ordered but he enjoyed it. We were torn between cannoli and spumoni for dessert, but ultimately went with spumoni (and our server also brought us cannoli anyway!). Great service, great food and large portions.

This place is amazing. Period. The food is some of the best Italian I've had. They give you a little plate of marinated peppers to spread on their freshly baked bread- well, that's what I'm assuming it's for. Whenever I'm in the area, this is where I'm headed. Amazing service. Strong coffee. Beautiful restrooms. Parking can be challenging, but I always find either metered parking in the front or the lot directly across the street.

Not gonna lie, I've never had real Italian food like this but I could just tell this place was screaming authenticity, especially seeing the vibes and the menu. The portions are huge and definitely shareable - I highly recommend family styling so you can try their different dishes! The prices were awesome too, we literally paid $200 for a meal that fed a family of 9 and we still had leftovers!!They also hit you up with delicious bread,small tomato plates, and salads prior to your actual meal and it fills you up!I ordered off the chef's specialities and oh my, the osso busco and veal stuffed cannelloni were so good and flavor packed! Can't wait to be back to try more of their menu!!

Service was 10/10. You definitely get treated very well here. We wanted Italian and we thought we would check this place out since the reviews are incredible. The pasta was amazing!!! I love pasta and it did not disappoint. The servings are very generous and you'll definitely go home with leftovers. It was busy when we went, but the service was still amazing! The staff are very friendly and attentive. Our experience was awesome and I would come back.

It's not located in a great area and I felt a little unsafe walking over here after parking a bit far away on the street. But the vibe inside was more cozy, warm and inviting.This place was super packed and busy on a Saturday night. There was even a private party going on upstairs in their banquet room. Thankfully, we had reservations so we were seated fairly quickly. It's basically a traditional classic Italian restaurant. Not trendy or cute. This is a no frills place offering a huge menu with all kinds of pasta dishes and Italian entrees. We had a party of 7 so we ordered a bunch of things and shared. What was amazing was they gave us free bread, free bruschetta, AND free salad!! WOW! I've never seen so many dishes offered complimentary like that, on the house! We tried:Fried calamari: good! We enjoyed this one!Grilled octopus: meh.. just okay.. pass. Linguine pescatore: Not good... I didn't like this tomatoey seafood flavor.Fettuccine pollo Alfredo: too heavy and creamy but if you like that style.. Spaghetti aglio e olio: my favorite of the night. Light and garlicky with a kick.Osso Buco: pretty good, meaty, one of their popular dishes.Seafood risotto: Not a fan. Tasted just like the linguine pescatore.Dessert: cannoli, tiramisu, chocolate cake: all of them were too sweet for my liking but if I had to choose a fave, it would be the tiramisu which was very moist!Overall, the food was just average but the portions were generous. Service was excellent. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here because the food was just average to me but for the price you pay, you can get a lot of food. Plus all those free appetizers! Depends on your priorities. If you want hearty Italian, and a lot of it for a good price, then you will be pleased with this spot!Parking: street

Excellent Service & Customer Service Food is Great. Relaxed ambiance. Great place to celebrate graduation, anniversary, etc.

Awesome Italian family restaurant. They fed us like familia. Tony and his staff are great. Excellent customer service. The lasagna, oso buko was superb. As close as being in Calabtrese, Italy. The Querceto chanting was excellent. Highly recommended and will definitely comeback. ci è piaciuto il nostro pasto.
