Overview

Join us for an intimate evening of bold Argentine wines and elevated Italian cuisine at Rafele NYC. This exclusive wine dinner features six wines paired across four thoughtfully curated courses, showcasing the diversity and passion of Argentina's most compelling wine regions. From the high-altitude freshness of Mendoza's Andean vineyards to the rich, expressive depth of Malbec and beyond, each pour is selected to complement Rafele's seasonal menu. Guests will enjoy a guided tasting led by featured speaker Ignacio "Nacho" Schindler — a Buenos Aires native and U.S. wine importer who brings firsthand knowledge and infectious enthusiasm to every glass. Discover how altitude, terroir, and Argentine winemaking tradition 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.
