    Having lived in the South of Italy, I am picky in selecting New York restaurants: Da Rafaelle has become my go-to restaurant. How rare is it nowadays to see an owner (Rafaelle) cook himself and come out to greet his regulars. He combines southern Italian authenticity with consistent sophistication. My wife has many allergies and he is able to cook around those, and still produce excellence.

    This was our first time at the new location, and it was stunning! The food was as delicious as always, and our server was fantastic. But unfortunately, she had to leave as we were finishing dinner. We would have loved to meet the server who would be taking over since we were done with our dessert and waiting for someone to come over. Romina helped us with our coats as we left, and I took a moment to ask about the space upstairs. She was so kind and gave us a quick tour. Even though we had a great time, Armani will still be one of my favorite restaurants in NYC.
