Although we felt a bit mislead by Yelp for leading us here after a search for pizza (no pizza on…read morethe menu) we did have a great dining experience and introduction to burrata, which is a very refreshing mild hand made cheese product which must be served up fresh. The service and ambience were excellent. Very welcoming and casual. The food was expertly prepared and fresh. Our only slight disappointment was the flat bread that was served was a bit tough, and we were really craving a good wood fired pizza.

I dined here with my friends recently and was very impressed with the whole experience. One of my…read morefriends had already dined here twice before and raved about how good the food was. So with that being said, my expectations were high. We came under a reservation, which is almost required in order to eat here (I recommend getting one up to a week in advance). Papà Raffaele is an Italian restaurant that primarily serves pizza, along with some shareable, salads, and desserts. They offer a great selection of drinks as well. The service was good and the food came out all freshly prepared. All the pizzas are made with premium ingredients imported from Italy and are cooked made-to-order in a wood-fired pizza oven from Naples. This is probably the closest you will get to authentic Italian in Lille. To start, we ordered the Spritz Almalfitano Pitcher and burrata to share. The Spritz Almalfitano was essentially their version of a limoncello spritz. Although it didn't have a strong lemoncello taste. The drink was very strong and we were genuinely feeling "drunk" after splitting it amongst the three of us. I would recommend ordering it though as it was a lovely cocktail with great flavor, just very, very strong. The burrata was simple, but flavorful nonetheless and a perfect way to start the meal. For my pizza, I ordered the Dolce Diavola which consisted of tomato sauce, fior di latte mozzarella, spicy spianata, onions red, ricotta, pepper, mint, honey and olive oil. This was a wonderful combination of flavors that all worked together harmoniously! Very unique and like nothing I'd had before, it had some heat, smokiness, and sweetness. You could really taste the quality of ingredients as it was evident in the amount of flavor all the food had. This was easily one of the best pizzas I've ever had, hands down. To round out this fabulous meal, we ordered the Fat Sundae and Tiramisu to split. The Fat Sundae included milk ice cream, Nocciolata (chocolate-hazelnut spread), salted butter caramel, salted peanuts, crushed cantucci, and cocoa. I thoroughly enjoyed this as it wasn't too heavy and was the perfect way to end the meal. The tiramisu was also very good and I would recommend! One thing I will note is that if you opt to have your food come out separately (starters then your pizza), they will only put your pizza in the oven once they take your starter plates away. This can make your meal time longer. Overall, I was very pleased with my meal at Papà Raffaele. It was easily one of the best, most memorable meals I had in Lille. All the food was sensational, the quality unmatched, and the flavors authentic. The service was great and everyone there was extremely pleasant. I absolutely loved my pizza and see why it is such a popular eatery. This is a must-eat if you are in Lille and I highly recommend making a reservation to dine here.

The atmosphere is great and we were even having conversations with the French couple sitting next to us which added to the experience of being in France. Our waiter served us a complimentary apéritif of cheese with prosciutto wrapped around it and drizzled with olive oil. It was delicious and such a nice surprise! We ordered the Rudy Charcuterie which was outstanding! I ordered the Lolo pizza which has tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala, and basil, which was delicious! I have tried a few other pizza places in France and this is the closest to true Italian pizza. The cappuccinos were delicious as well!! While in France, I ordered a cappuccino every day from different places, and this one was one of few that tasted exactly like a true cappuccino. I definitely recommend dining here if you are in Lille!

Choosing a pizza is not a piece of cake because they all look good! I took a Noa and it was very lovely. The one taken by my girl was delicious too. We also took a glass of wine that was basic but matched well with the pizza. And I didn't feel to pay too much for this quality so it's 5/5 for me :)
