" Not what I expected. I was looking for a classic Italian restaurant experience, but left feeling a bit disappointed. The pizza I ordered was lacking depth of flavor; the crust felt a bit doughy. The atmosphere was okay, but I think it needs a refresh. While the staff were friendly, the overall dining experience didn't impress me enough to return anytime soon. I feel they could improve their menu significantly. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Rafael's was quite mixed. While I appreciated the friendly service and the authentic Italian vibe, the food quality varied. The calzone was far too doughy and did not have the flavors I expected. I do think they have potential, and I saw other tables with the pizza that looked fantastic. I might give it another try, perhaps on a busier night when they might be at their best. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Rafael's for their incredible calzones! They come filled with a generous amount of fresh ingredients and oh, that marinara! Always fresh and tasty. The staff treats everyone like family, which makes every visit feel special. The vibe can get a bit noisy during dinner time, but that’s just a testament to how popular this place is. Highly recommend for anyone in Fayetteville! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Rafael's after reading rave reviews, and I must say it didn't disappoint! The pizza was absolutely delicious, with a perfect crust and generous toppings. The homemade tomato sauce really made the difference. The only hiccup was that the restaurant felt a bit cramped and busy. I would recommend going during off-peak hours if you can, but it's definitely worth the visit. I can't wait to come back and try their calzones! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is great at Rafael's, but I wish they'd invest in some better plates and utensils. The food deserves a better presentation! Nevertheless, I often pick up takeout because the flavors are fantastic. The staff is friendly, and they are quite efficient with the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Rafael's with a group of friends and it was a blast! The pizza was on point, and the calzones were massive and packed with filling. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. There was a lively buzz in the air, perfect for a weekend night out. A great place to enjoy Italian food with friends!

" I frequently order takeout from Rafael's and always enjoy my meals! The chicken parmesan is a favorite of mine. It's generous in portion and so tasty. I appreciate how they've managed to maintain quality even with takeout. The only downside is that you have to be patient with the phone—they sometimes have a busy line. Overall, highly recommend for some great Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)
