One of the most talked-about restaurant openings in New York City of late is Raf’s, a delectable eatery from the team behind The Musket Room, that will eventually operate all day with a bakery and café as well. Located in the former Parisi Bakery, a historic Italian stalwart that was first established in 1903, Raf’s irreverently pays tribute to its predecessor’s storied past, while serving up hearty helpings of both fare and flair in a newly renovated interior by Post Company.
Situated behind a glass and wooden storefront, complete with hand-foiled gold lettering, Raf’s immediately feels like it has been in operation for years. Historically appropriate yet of an entirely new design, the space boasts a statuesque wooden bar topped with Arabescato Rose marble, which welcomes guests with pastries, fresh flowers and mohair-topped stools, while the back bar glimmers with polished nickel rails and wine glasses.
Beyond this threshold, the main dining room is a vision with sculptural iron chandeliers and pleated glass sconces by In Common With, crisp plaster walls, moulded florets and an exquisite hand-painted mural featuring blue skies.
With breakfast, lunch and an aperitivo service to come soon, Raf’s is set to become a staple in New Yorkers’ address books.
