THE SIMPLICITY OF ITALIAN CUISINE IN A FINE DINING SETTING
About Us
Our company is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. In those rare instances when we might not meet your expectations, I promise two things: First, that it was not for lack of effort, for negligence or merely for dereliction of duty. Second, that we will try even harder next time. We might not always succeed but we will absolutely always try. As the proverb goes; if at first you don't succeed... you know the rest.
We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry.
A quarter of a century plus - Rafagino Restaurant started its 30th year in business on 01/04/2024. Thank you for being a part of our success and longevity.

Genoa & Liguria Wine Dinner
Please join us Sunday November 24th at 5:30pm for a 5-course wine dinner featuring the delicious food and wines of the city of Genoa and its surrounding region of Liguria.
Please join us for this month's wine pairing dinner to be held on Sunday November 24th at 5:30pm featuring the city of Genoa, hometown of Christopher Colombus and the surrounding northern Italian region of Liguria. Christopher Columbus might have left not knowing where he was going and arrived not knowing where he was but how can we hold that against him if that is in fact the very definition of what life's course is!
This is where the Alps precipitously cascade into the Mediterranean forming gorgeous beaches and picturesque towns carved onto the ragged rocky mountain sides; a place where extreme beauty juxtaposes with danger and sinuous landscapes of an extremely demanding topography. Liguria is also known as the Italian Riviera with ritzy destinations such as Portofino, Ventimiglia, the casino of San Remo and Cinqueterre with its famous 5 villages perched atop promontories overlooking the Ligurian Sea.
This is where Pesto sauce was invented and where herbs are used in abundance. Its cuisine is known for pastas such as Trofie and Ravioli, fish dishes such as Cioppino as well as some of the best beans and eggplants in Italy. This region also has delicious dishes made of beef, lamb, pork, rabbit and baccala (dried, salted codfish).
Its famous wines include the whites Vermentino and Pigato and the reds Rossese and Ormeasco (Dolcetto) and the harvest of these grapes at times resembles an extreme sport. Steep and narrow hillsides terraces do not allow for any mechanical assistance as the harvest is done all by hand with the help of handmade monorail systems to move the grapes up the hills.
Can't wait to see you. Ciao!
Thank you,
