Café popolari a Bayonne

Great restaurant for brunch. We went as a family, but have been as just a couple as well. The decor is warm and inviting. The food is dependably good and the kids all loved their meals.

The spicy vodka pasta was literally heaven so good!!!! And the restaurant was so nice and relaxing

Rafs is a gem and one of a kind cafe. The food is delicious. I had the French omlette with crème fraise. Excellent. The wait staff is superb very attentive. The host was very accommodating finding us a booth table that was very comfortable and quiet.

If you order a cheeseburger as I did, note that's all you get, no little greens or fries with it. Also, it's the yellow sliced, non-cheese cheese. The host noted that the people in front of us did not have a reservation and then disappeared without saying anything to us--we did have a reservation, and our friends (as it turned out) were already there, but we ended up waiting about ten minutes for the host to arrive, ask about our reservation and shown to our table. I had asked for a quiet table so we could talk. I understand it's never "quiet," but did not expect to be seated right next to the speaker and right next to others on the long bench. We were shouting just to hear each other. They could have given us a separate table atleast, away from the speakers. I won't be coming back though everyone was friendly, because this is New York and there are other choices.

Food amazing, the customer service excellent overall ambiance spectacular! I went with my husband and kids and it was a great time they really enjoyed the food and photo worthy! Definitely recommend
