Excellent food and service. Fresh seafood, fresh bread, delicious imported Rhode Island calamari, authentic Italian ambience.
February 15, 2020
Nice atmosphere (white tablecloths) - owner personally greets diners!
January 15, 2020
From the moment we walked into the restaurant we received impeccable service. The food was excellent as well. This was our friends first time dining there and they loved it also.
December 6, 2019
Excellent service, food and ambiance. What is not to like?
October 9, 2019
The owner and the staff were very pleasant. Since it was our first time they gave us a complimentary appetizer which was delicious. The entrée was very good as well.
August 8, 2019
Excellent dining experience. A gold nugget in the community. Definitely white tablecloth venue with very proper wait staff. Wonderful selection of wines (thank you for helping pair with my meal) and delicious cuisine expertly prepared.
May 15, 2019

Had the seafood special of the day. You could tell the chef paid attention to details since everything on the plate was beautiful and tasted great.

The line was ridiculously long and the checkout process was arduous. They have changed their whole pricing system and also now charge for each side which they do not tell you up front. We have been going here for years and they should make that clear as many people are "regulars" here and have known forever that sides are included. Prices are riducuously high! They have good BBQ but so do a lot of other places and without the 45 minute wait in line

The mgr and waitress were extremely helpful in making sure I had a gluten-free meal (I wasn't sure it was) and they had it made that way for me and the mgr helped pick out a not too dry wine for me to go with my dinner.
December 27, 2018
It was surprising to find a good little restaurant in that shopping center. It’s a tiny place but they have great food and the atmosphere is nice. Its a little expensive but it’s good quality food.
October 25, 2018
Staff was superb as was the food. Very friendly and accomodating. Limoncello cake was the est we have had in the US.
August 19, 2018
Restaurant was wonderful! Service was a little slow.

The food and the service are always fabulous at Rafaginos.
March 1, 2018
The owner makes the difference-greeting, offering wine and drink selections, and checking back with us with each course.
December 23, 2017
My meal was good. My partner's was not. The website had many items I was looking forward to trying, but the menu offered was nothing like it! Disappointing.
December 18, 2017
The owner (Paul) makes you feel very welcome. The wine was perfect. the specials delicious and the service great.
December 16, 2017

Truly authentic Italian with service beyond reproach.
July 1, 2017
Awesome experience. Pauline, owner, greets you and remembers you no matter how long it had been since you were there. You are not rushed and can sit and enjoy talking with friends as long as you like.

Chicken parma was very good and the quantity was more than adequate.
May 4, 2017
We eat a complete meal - this time including the boconcini(sp?) appetizer, the antipasto salad, 2 seafood entrees, and the carrot cake. All were excellent except the carrot cake which was delicious except for the walnuts that were not as fresh as they should have been.
November 24, 2016
The food was excellent although the helping could have been a bit more generous.
October 29, 2016
Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere.
October 2, 2016
The service was impeccable . Kyle, our server, is most attentive. Paolo, the owner is most gracious and friendly. The food was first rate.
September 10, 2016
Food was excellent. Wait staff was very attentive to our every need.
August 5, 2016
We like this restaurant a lot. The owner/host is very warm and personable and recognizes us when we come. The food is excellent. We particularly recommend saving room for dessert- the limoncello cake is to die for! Rafagino's would be an excellent restaurant anywhere, but in Burke it is really a find!
July 31, 2016
Delicious food, outstanding service, great atmosphere
July 19, 2016
Clean. Nearby our home. Immediate service. Good wine. Excellent food. Paul (owner) is very attentive.
January 21, 2016
As usual, the food, the meat special, was excellent, as well as the service.
December 18, 2015
The food is overpriced. Wait staff does not come to table for followup. Seemed like one waitress for entire restaurant.
October 12, 2015
Food was excellent. While the server was very nice, she was the only one in the restaurant on a Friday night. So, service to our table was slow. We waited 23 minutes before being asked what we wanted to drink before dinner. Waited 15 minutes for our check after telling the server that we were not interested in coffee or dessert. Finally had to ask the bus-boy to get us our check. Then the check did not have the restaurant.com discount included and it had to go back to have it re-computed. Nice people, great food, reasonable prices, but need more staff on a weekend evening.
August 23, 2015
Ran out of specials by 7 pm. Very crowded (we had reservations) not enough servers to accommodate . We spent $300. Could have offered some incentive to compensate for poor service that is not their norm.
May 13, 2015
Everyone is friendly and nice from top to bottom! Very alert and tuned in to every need and request (even before you request)!
February 28, 2015
Wonderful food and great service

November 7, 2014
Great food and servers
October 21, 2014
The waitress was constantly trying to add upcharges - we ordered salads, glasses of wine, main, and dessert. She pushed for us to order a bottle of wine and take excess home, have a hot appetizer, after dinner drinks, etc. She was overly friendly in that very insincere way. The food was very under spiced. The veal chop was nice and tender, but had no flavor without the sauce. Ditto for the fillet. The sauce was under spiced as well - little or no herbs.
April 11, 2014
Food and service were both phenomenal. Rochelle and the rest of the staff were extremely attentive but didn't hover.
March 13, 2014
We have been coming here for many years. It is a cozy, warm place to be. You feel special.
February 1, 2014
Wonderful service. Friendly owner makes everyone feel like a VIP guest. Lovely ambiance.

Great food. Delightful, professional staff. Personal care evidenced by owner's involvement.
September 15, 2013
Although the restaurant was located in a shopping mall, once we went inside, it was a fine dining experience. Beautiful décor and white tablecloths and candles! The food was very good, too.
September 14, 2013
Great greeting and great service.
August 19, 2013
Small portions..... we been there before and plates were much larger. Server was slow we just about walked ofc. Food taste was ok. Pricing is high compared to other italian places in the area
August 13, 2013
Very nice staff people, and excellent food!
August 8, 2013
Fantastic little unknown place
August 8, 2013
We were very pleased with all aspects of our dining experience. The food was excellent and the service was great. My husband and I normally do not order dessert but they had such a large variety and it looked so good we couldn't resist. It tasted even better than it looked!! I highly recommend this restaurant.
July 31, 2013
Great service and good food.
June 30, 2013
Friendly greeting, attentive staff, delicious food.
June 19, 2013
As always, the food at Rafagino's was excellent. The dressing on the insalata Rafagino was a deliciously smooth balsamic vinaigrette, with all ingredients in perfect, full ripeness. The lamb chops were large and flavorful, served with artichokes, in a wonderful sauce. The pasta was exceptionally good. Even the broccoli was prepared perfectly. Tiramisu and cappuccino finished a great meal.
May 8, 2013
Food was outstanding, atmosphere wonderful Service Professional, attentive, accomodating, suggested additions - perfect dinner. We ate light but would like to come back and try some entre's
April 25, 2013
The food was all delicious and the service was excellent!
March 12, 2013
the food was cold and ver small portions for the price
February 18, 2013
Atmosphere, service and deserts were excellent. Main courses were just average, though. I have had much better chicken marsala in a number of places, including a chain like Olive Garden. Plus, dessert prices are somewhat high.
January 22, 2013
Personal interaction with owner is always a plus.
January 17, 2013
The food was good, but not at that price. Disappointed, I was expecting something better, even the bread was cold.
January 16, 2013
Service is always excellent, staff is attentive and food is always fantastic.

Food was great but the service was incredible - particularly for a neighborhood restaurant.
December 5, 2012
I had the appetizer special and loved it. it was wonderful!! Our entrees were perfect, it melted in our mouths. Our shared dessert was a great way to end our meal. Our service was very pleasant and efficient.
November 30, 2012
Thanks for a wonderful evening. You have never disappointed us.

August 22, 2012
My rice was too spicy and my 6 slices of zucchini was also. Our server replaced it without difficulty.
July 11, 2012
Tired, overpriced food.
June 7, 2012
at times the music was too loud

Live near the restuarant and it is a wonderful dining experience.....

Pleasant atmosphere - friendly staff - no rushing
May 23, 2012
Pleasant dining atmosphere. Quiet. Not Hurried.
May 20, 2012
not enough menu items, especially veal and chicken. They were very cooperative re: substituting pasta for vegetable.
May 8, 2012
The appetizer, calamari, was returned because it had no taste. Owner admitted he got a bad batch and agreed it was no good and took it off the menu.
May 4, 2012
The food is good but the meals are overpriced. My entree included 4 small scallops.
April 29, 2012
Thank you! We had a very nice evening.
April 27, 2012
Always have a wonderful meal experience!
April 22, 2012
The food and the service was excellent!
April 4, 2012
I was disappointed that the server asked if the kids wanted soda refills and charged us for refills -- we paid $8 for sodas and one kid didn't even need one. Otherwise, the food was a bit pricey and the menu was slim, but we liked the food and would return.
April 3, 2012
Experience was very nice. We will come again.
April 1, 2012
I think for the price there is a lot of room for improvement. It looked like the Parmesan cheese was Kraft. You had to ask for freshly ground pepper and the bread tasted like it was purchased at Safeway.
April 1, 2012
The only fine dining experience in the Burke and Springfield VA area. Great place for a special occasion.
March 28, 2012
I have loved this local, wonderful restaurant for years!

Rafagino's is a local treasure. We love it for special occasions and when guests come in from out of town we love to take them here and show any and everyone that Burke has class, great food, and fantastic hospitality. Keep up the amazing work!
February 28, 2012
It was a very enjoyable experience with other patrons obviously enjoying themselves too.

January 25, 2012
Food generally excellent. Exceptions: bread too ordinary. One piece of meat in mixed grill was too rare. Service outstanding!

We enjoy their friendly service.
January 4, 2012
Local restaurant we have eaten at several times; always good.
January 4, 2012
Food tasted good, but my veal was very, very tough. I usually don't complain about food, but the veal could have been much more tender. I was disappointed. People are very nice, however.
December 29, 2011
Althought the food and service were very good, my wife and I felt that it was rather pricey. We a frequent diners to high end restuarants in downtown DC and felt that this was more expensive than most of those. Just convienient.
December 28, 2011
1st class place
December 21, 2011
Love this place. So classy and delicious food....great atmosphere and can always get a table.
December 2, 2011
Wonderful service--reminds me of fine dining establishments in Europe! Highly recommend this place for atmosphere, food and service!
December 1, 2011
When the restaurant added the 20% gratuity they computed it on the tax as well. They also computed the 20% on the wine which is also not an acceptable practice. This action tarnished the restaurant.com concept and made it feel like a come on.
November 27, 2011
Excellent restaurant - service & food outstanding. However, it is quite pricey.
November 25, 2011
We went on the night BEFORE Thanksgiving. At first the restaurant was not going to honor our certificate because they said that the night before a holiday is a "special occasion" for which the certificate does not apply. After protesting that their reasoning seemed arbitrary, they relented and allowed the discount, but attached a full 20% tip to the bill. The wording "not valid on.. special occasions" is very vague and can cause issues.
November 23, 2011
Everything was very good to excellent, except for the bread. The bread was soft not crusty. We saw a server buying cheap Safeway bread.
November 21, 2011
We have been going there for many years but the discount helps us to go a little more often.... It's always a wonderful experience with excellent food!
November 14, 2011
The service was outstanding. The prices were a little high.
November 7, 2011
Paulo is an excellent Maitre D.
October 30, 2011
Outstanding service as usual
October 20, 2011
Good food and good service. I thought prices were a bit higher than Burke rates...
October 16, 2011
Always a pleasure. Waiter forgot to apply coupon but did when we reminded him. Food was excellent as always. My favorite Italian place always.
October 7, 2011
It was horrible. All of the food was frozen food. They didn't make anything there. The service was horrible and the manager acted as if it was a french restaurant!
October 6, 2011
Upscale neighborhood gem.
October 5, 2011
We were extremely pleased with the quality of the food. Once we completed our meal, it did take too long to receive the check. We will come back.
September 30, 2011
It was great! Thanks.
September 30, 2011
The restaurant has a good ambience and the decor was fine for a romantic dinner. We had a caesar salad and beef carpaccio. I've never had carpaccio before, and I'm not sure I like it. The entrees were borderline tasteless. The beef was bland. There were tons of mushrooms, which I love. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The sorbet was good, and the presentation was perfect: it was round from the ice cream scooper, however the inside was practically empty because it wasn't scooped well. The Pecan pie was piping hot on the inside, but the crust was cold, I'm not sure how that happened.
September 29, 2011
Everything was find. However, my husband and I did not like that they included a 20% tip when they brought the bill. The customer is to decide on the tip based on the total amount (excluding the certificate). In bad taste.
September 29, 2011
Took too long for menu, appetizer and entrees to arrive. Also was too cold in the restaurant.
September 27, 2011
As much as we enjoyed most aspects of our meal, I ordered the veal florentine and unfortunately found the veal to be sub-standard.
September 27, 2011
Meal prices were too expensive for wwhat you get.
September 25, 2011
Excellent meal. We will be back.
September 15, 2011
Wonderful dining experience from start to finish.
September 15, 2011
Excellent restaurant - and the fact that they participate in Rest.com is great.
September 14, 2011
Absolutely fantastic place with great food and service. Highly recommend.
September 6, 2011
Love this local gem of a restaurant.
August 26, 2011
Excellent food and service. The best in my area.
August 22, 2011
One of the specials last night was a pork dish with potatoes and broccoli. We expected mashed, ended up being serve bland, instant potatoes dressed up to look like mashed. Our waiter was sympathetic, but the owner needs to fix that. The other dishes were fine, but maybe consider changing out the plates (best described as upside down sombreros) that awkwardly distort the portion size.
August 18, 2011
A friend told me about the rest. yrs. ago, but seeing the discount spurred me on. Definitely would recommend it and will be returning!
August 7, 2011
Excellent restaurant! Delicious food and attentive service!
August 4, 2011
I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. It's the only good restaurant in the Burke area, which is right down the street from where I live, but I would go there if it were in a sea of amazing restaurants. The service is top-notch, Paulo greets you at the door and always stops by to see about your meal. You feel like you're sitting in your Italian grandmother's kitchen. Desserts are also amazing - try the tiramisu!
July 28, 2011
We all were very satisfies with our experience.
July 26, 2011
We love Rafagino!
July 22, 2011
Rafagino's has the best food and a very nice selection of wines. The staff is always very pleasant and they work as a team - so you always feel special when you are there. I would highly recommend this restaurant to my friends!
