Overview

Join us for an intimate evening of vibrant Chilean wines and elevated Italian cuisine at Rafele NYC. This exclusive wine dinner features six wines paired across four thoughtfully curated courses, showcasing the remarkable diversity of Chile's most celebrated wine regions — from the cool coastal valleys to the sun-drenched slopes of the Andes. Each pour is selected to complement Rafele's seasonal menu in surprising and delicious ways. Guests will enjoy a guided tasting led by featured speaker César Baez — a Chile native, enologist, and the founder and winemaker behind Trotamundos, whose artisanal, low-intervention wines from select single vineyards have earned world-class recognition. Discover how terroir, tradition, and a lifetime of winemaking passion come together at the table — right in the heart of New York City. 🍷 Must be 21+. Limited tickets are available.

Rafele Ristorante

In the historic West Village of New York City, Rafele delivers authentic Neapolitan flavors to the Big Apple. 12 years ago, Raffaele Ronca and Romeo Palmisano, a longtime friend and fellow native of Naples, began discussing the possibility of one day opening their own restaurant.
Working together with a unified vision they planned every detail, from the eclectic menu of regional Neapolitan favorites and fresh daily made pastas, to various meat dishes, fresh delights from the sea and a renowned wine list.
The result of their hard work was realized in the summer of 2012 with the opening of their debut restaurant, Rafele.
