About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Great for fine wines

This homage to Little Italy, from the same team behind Michelin-starred The Musket Room, has everything you could want, from outstanding pastries courtesy of Camari Mick and incredible entrees from Mary Attea.

Why they're an Icon

MICHELIN Plate2023

From the OpenTable editors: This sister restaurant to MICHELIN-Starred The Musket Room is an Italian and French bakery by day and swanky, white tablecloth dinner destination by night. Don't miss pastry chef Camari Mick's baked goods—think candied orange almond croissant—in the morning, and return at night for chef Mary Attea's hearty dishes prepared in a wood-fired hearth.

Raf's is tucked away on Elizabeth Street just north of Houston. Very easy to miss. I have heard good things so reserved a table for 5pm dinner with a friend on Saturday evening. Restaurant filled up quickly with diners. Service was friendly and attentive. I had the crab and corn ravioli which was so delicious. We shared a little gem salad and the arancini. Portions are not huge, which is fine for me. We finished with the budino for dessert. All was delicious. Will definitely go back.

Overall food presentation, service and ambience was very good. Food had some little mishaps: Agnolotti sauce was overly oily and the roast chicken was somewhat dry.

We were sat at one of the two tables in the middle of the restaurant, within a few minutes of seating we asked to move. Myself and my brunch partner had been run into half a dozen times already. Once we were tucked into a half booth seat, it was much better. Brunch food was ok, Service was very on point. Overall not bad.
