Raf's has all the charm of an old world bistro, albeit with a modern polish. Chef Mary Attea and Pastry Chef Camari Mick have partnered with Jennifer and Nicole Vitagliano to create a broad European menu with strong Italian and French influences. From escargot and house-made breads (a must-order) to pastas like mafaldine tossed with shredded rabbit and favas in a bright lemon pesto, everything is made with care. There are plenty of shareable dishes (think Sicilian cast iron skillet pizza), and while they aren't reinventing the wheel, they are turning out well-prepared meals with subtlety and style. Dessert is non-negotiable, especially the simple-but-superb white chocolate budino.
