Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in East Elmhurst

The mole sauce was superb! I also was impressed that the Margarita was served in a chilled clay cup

Just a short walk from the Met with a great atmosphere, great food, and great service! Clean and tidy.

Having lived in the South of Italy, I am picky in selecting New York restaurants: Da Rafaelle has become my go-to restaurant. How rare is it nowadays to see an owner (Rafaelle) cook himself and come out to greet his regulars. He combines southern Italian authenticity with consistent sophistication. My wife has many allergies and he is able to cook around those, and still produce excellence.

The food is amazing, the view spectacular and the service attentive a courteous. Bob the Sommelier was extremley knowledgeable and considerate of our requirements. Alex, our host, was courteous with the right touch of humour. All of the staff professional and hosted us exceptionally well. An expensive but a priceless experience.

This was our first time at the new location, and it was stunning! The food was as delicious as always, and our server was fantastic. But unfortunately, she had to leave as we were finishing dinner. We would have loved to meet the server who would be taking over since we were done with our dessert and waiting for someone to come over. Romina helped us with our coats as we left, and I took a moment to ask about the space upstairs. She was so kind and gave us a quick tour. Even though we had a great time, Armani will still be one of my favorite restaurants in NYC.
