Raf’s New York City

Raf’s is at 290 Elizabeth Street, a fifteen-minute walk from SoHo, Little Italy, and Washington Square Park. The menu combines French and Italian cooking.

The room runs smart and elegant, but it succeeds by ignoring the frantic energy that defines its closest neighbours. While SoHo and Little Italy often demand a high-volume, tourist-heavy pace, this kitchen prefers a quieter approach to its hybrid cuisine. The space feels more deliberate than the bistros surrounding it, making it the right choice when the intention is to hear your companion speak.
