Raphael's

Have enjoyed Raphael's a few times now and we'll be back again soon. Food is fantastic, service is very personal and the restaurant itself is very comfortable. Place is a little bit of a throwback. There's no feeling of, they're just turning tables. Settle in, have a great meal and enjoy a bottle of reasonably priced Italian wine. As good a dish of EGGPLANT PARM as you'll find anywhere, in any city. The chef is the owner and will often visit you at your table. Big fan.

Food was amazing! Everything homemade from scratch from the bread , soup, pasta and meatballs. Probably the best meatball I've ever had. The chef/owner stopped by every table as well. Not sure why there's not a line out the door. Great prices as well. Stop in and try it for yourself.

The chef/ owner really know how to make you feel like family. The red sauce is out of this world with its rich dark color, you can taste the fresh tomato with a bite of olive oil.

The servers are beyond friendly and helpful. Again when you come here you are family.

The food was excellent. Eggplant parm very well done. An item not easy to find in the area, TRIPE, was available and served very hot in an excellent sauce with a side of pasta. Many tasty menu options. Everything about the place was authentic.

Had the best lasagna I've ever had!! Nice crispy mozzarella melted on top, with a drizzle of their delicious spaghetti sauce which has a slight essence of wine in it, perfectly seasoned, with a beautiful salad to start with incredible home made Italian dressing! Terrific hosts, Ralph and Julie will ensure you a terrific experience! Tell them Paul sent you!!

I’ve driven past this place hundreds of times and never once gave it a thought. On the suggestion of my coworkers I brought my wife here for dinner. We tried the stuffed peppers appetizer which was actually spicy, something other restaurants have been missing. I got the baked ziti and she got linguine with clams. The food was absolutely amazing and portions were more than enough. We can’t wait to come back, once we finish our leftovers of course.

My husband and I both had the lasagna (small) which was delicious and the homemade sauce was amazing! We also had stuffed mushrooms loved the garlic and stuffing and the salad, then the complimentary
Cinnamon tea after topped off a great dinner.
The service and atmosphere clean and comfortable!
The wine was perfect!
Definitely can’t wait to go back!!

Went to this wonderful restaurant for the first time tonight to celebrate our anniversary and had one of the best dining experiences I have ever had! The staff was amazing, the food was delicious, everything about this place was incredible! I had never even heard of this place until yesterday and after today, I can’t wait to go back. The owner and chef, Raphael, was incredibly friendly! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for not just a great meal, but one of the best dining experiences in the area!

My husband and I drove 80 minutes and we were so happy we did! Easily the best food we have had out. Everything was very delicious and seasoned to perfection. The staff was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary dinner. The chef made us a small cake to celebrate.We will be back! Blessings to the chef and his establishment.

Amazing authentic old style Italian food with great old school service. The owner and chef greets all guests and checks on how you are enjoying the food! Always a pleasurable experience.

My words will fall short on the experience my family and I had at this restaurant but I will do my best!!!!

This family owned Italian restaurant takes you straight down memory lane🥰. When you are at Raphel's you are family! The atmosphere and food brought back so many memories from growing up🙂! You can feel the genuine love from the staff!!! They all have wonderful personalities!! The food is excellent just like Nana use to make. It's all from scratch!!! Come on you cannot beat homemade🥰😋!

You can taste the quality ingredients and most of all the love that is put into it!!! Raphel and his wife and the staff are all wonderful people🙂🥰!!! Talking to all of them was like talking to family🥰. You need to come on in and experience this for youself!! I can't wait to return with friends and make more memories🥰!

The stuffed mushrooms are to die for. Everything was amazing, I loved everything they brought to the table. The best parts was the head chef came out to make sure we liked everything, we were also visited by the owner and his wife who brought us a tiny shot she called "witches brew" which was healthy for the stomach and wellness. I have an irritable bowel disease and for once in my life I was about to enjoy everything without getting sick. Definitely going back again and again.

I came from Jamestown,NY.
I must admit...this place is one of the finest I have ever been to. The food is super good...I had a Lasagna dinner.. excellent.
The atmosphere is great, the staff is very friendly and professional. I will always make it a regular stop when I am in town.
5+ Stars. I highly recommend Raphael's.

Hands down the best Italian in WNY! Ralph is very particular with the food he serves to ensure it goes from the farm to your plate in the same day, everything is always fresh, and never frozen.

Large portions and very friendly service. Raphael came out to check on our dinner.

Always love the lasagna at Raphael's, or maybe it's safe to say that I LOVE the lasagna at Raphael's! ♥

Very good food, service was good. I had tripe my wife had eggplant parm.

Raphael's food is always amazing! You can tell everything is homemade.

Fantastic service and great food. Would go again.

Nice family owned place right around the corner of the Hamburg Fairgrounds. The owner was there greeting and interacting with all customers and gave it an atmosphere of visiting family for dinner. We had the Sicilian Spaguetti and the Chicken Parm and both were full of flavor and the portions were rather generous. Will definitely visit again.
