" This place is a treasure in the neighborhood! The stuffed peppers were delightful, and the house salad was fresh with a perfect vinaigrette. I really appreciate the BYOB option, which helps keep the cost down. Service was good, but they were busy, and it did take a little while for our entrees to arrive. I’d recommend it for those craving authentic Italian dishes in a cozy environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family gathering at Raffi's last weekend, and I must say, everyone had an amazing time! The food was delicious; we tried a bit of everything, but the highlight was definitely the tiramisu. The owner even shared some of the restaurant's history with us—such a nice touch. Plus, the fact that it's BYOB is a game changer! " (*Curated Review*)

I can confidently say I will become a regular customer after such a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food! I had the spaghetti carbonara and it tasted authentic and perfectly made. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a good experience.

" I can't say enough good things about this place. The homemade pasta was incredible, and the Marinara sauce was bursting with flavor. The service was attentive, and the owner’s warmth was a wonderful touch. I brought my own wine, and the vibe was just perfect for a relaxing evening. Highly recommend trying the tiramisu if you visit—best I've ever had! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I were looking for a hidden Italian restaurant and we couldn’t be happier about this place! The food was fresh and each ingredient we tasted seemed carefully chosen. I loved the gnocchi—they were pillowy and served with a lovely sauce. The only downside was that it’s cash only, which we didn’t know ahead of time. Still, we’ll absolutely return. " (*Curated Review*)
