    Bravo Raffaele! Great restaurateur and excellent food. We had the special he suggested to us the Duck Ragu pasta. Fantastic! See you this upcoming Monday again.

    Wonderful meal. Everything was delicious from appetizer, pasta, and main. My wife had the soft shell crab special. Top notch!

    Excellent food, very nice service. Prices were a bit high, particularly on the specials (where prices weren't revealed) and the portions weren't as large as they might have been. But overall a very nice place and we will return.

    This is the most charming spot with authentic and delicious food. The owner is always there moving throughout and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable. A place that has neighborhood regulars and always some walk-ins as it is right near the U.N. Highly recommend!

    Not as nice as last time we were there. Service was sketchy and the food was not as good as we remembered.

    Eating at Da Rafaelle is like going home, if your parent is a great cook and other family members greet you warmly. Before I got there I thought I would order off of the menu, but the specials that they offered were too enticing to pass up. They had lamb osso buco.. I had duck with pappardelle. Yum. The service was attentive but not overbearing. I didn’t feel rushed. One of my companions got chocolate mousse for dessert and she raved about it. For dessert I got a pear tart with walnuts. It was okay but not special.
