Raffaele Restaurant

I’m really surprised that this hasn’t already been reviewed. I came to Raffaele for a business lunch. The client was actually a restaurant owner with a discriminating palate, who enjoyed the meal just as much. He started with the Pomodoro Alla Partenopea salad, and called it the most unique salad he has ever had. The meal started with some amazingly fresh focaccia bread and olive oil. I enjoyed a delicious gnocchi dish that was so sinfully creamy. .. I just wish it was served with more asparagus. The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and the service was on-​point. I never had an empty water glass and as soon as a plate was empty, it was taken. If you’re looking for an UES location for a leisurely business lunch, head to Raffaele for a guaranteed delicious meal, worth every penny.
