Raffaello Ristorante

Update 5/22/22 Seriously people this place is the best! We came in this time at 11:30 for lunch (party of 6) . The staff and owner were great. Lots of large dishes, laughter, appetizers, drinks, laughter, and desserts. The whole family never wanted for nothing. The plates came full and left empty....and the table was never crowded. Super Service and that made us all feel welcome. P.S. pick anything off the menu and you will be happy.

THE BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT EVER. No really, the taste is off the chart. As a business-to-business salesman, I have been to so many Italian restaurants that I’m actually tired of them. But this one is definitely different. Not only the server was incredibly nice but also the entire vibe is rich with comfort and luxury. Their free bread appetizer comes with lightly cooked red and yellow pepper touched with olive oil. Then we got lasagna. I don’t even like Lasagna. But Lasagna alla Calabrese, this one, I cleaned to the bottom and wiped entire sauce with bread. Another plate was Rigatoni alla Porcara. Sausage was bit salty but interestingly calmed it down. The dessert, which we couldn’t even wait to take photo, was Canoli. Crust was little hard but it was DELICIOUS!!!!!! Definitely recommend it. The server’s name is Ivan. Ivan is THE MAN.

When we first got there we were immediately seating and brought drinks and bread. The staff was extremely friendly and when my pregnant self was flustered about what i wanted to eat, they gave me a minute and came back with more energy! When we were getting the check my daughter saw someone with icecream and after asking us they brought her some icecream and made her night! 5 stars doesnt do it enough justice! I got half portions because i wanted something else, and they were good portions! The plate you see is from my house, i came home and had to eat it... it looked so good! After all was said and done my daughter was so happy and when we got outside of the restaurant she fell and busted her mouth open. One of their workers came out and cleaned her mouth and made sure we got to our car. This is an amazing place and we will 100 percent be back! Thank you so much for an amazing experience!

I really can’t say enough nice things about this restaurant. As a local, I’ve been coming here for years. The new location is stunning in Little Italy. There’s lots of room and a sleek (slightly revised) vibe, plus outdoor seating, more parking, and all of the original family staff who keep us all coming back. I’m a fan of the new location and nothing has been sacrificed because of the move. It’s a true family affair, with South Bay roots. This is still the nicest group of humans who are always so lovely and accommodating. Everything on the menu is gorgeous, authentic, and made with love. Always a treat, for a special occasion (being sung happy birthday here at least once is a must) able to accommodate large parties, down to an intimate date night or a nice night out with family or friends. I will always consider Raffaello’s a warm, welcoming, delicious place for dinner (and some leftovers for the next day) With love, grazie.
