Reserved a table on Saturday evening. When we arrived, the place was padlocked shut. Saturday, not Sunday. Unannounced holiday closing?

We brought two friends from the Upper East Side and they both said they loved Da Raffaele and will be back. Our favorite Italian restaurant in Midtown East.

When we walked in we were greeted like welcome guests. We specifically came to NYC to eat at great restaurant and DaRaffaele lived up to our expectations. We have eaten there many times before and we’ve never been disappointed. My friend and I had the pappardelle which was firm but not stiff and the sauce was magical. Another friend had the scallops capesante and she loved them. I was so full that I couldn’t finish my pistachio dessert but my friend finished mine and had her own chocolate mousse. We had amaretto sours as our cocktail and I don’t know how they do it but the cherry flavor in it is delicious. We had sambuccas for our after dinner drinks and they were so smooth and warm that it almost made me forget the winter weather. The waiter was attentive but not overbearing. I wish all restaurants were like DaRaffaele.

Very good food and service. Different dishes than some restaurants so that was welcome. Just needs more comfortable seats. But recommended.

Great restaurant where you can have delicious food, a generous pour martini and be able to have an adult conversation without screaming over loud music or loud voices.
