Rafael's - Shelbyville

If you want Italian, that's the place! Calzones, Pizza, Subs and more! The incomprehensible look gives you the impression of being a meeting point, but there are plenty of comfortable seating in the extended dining area. Don't sit down yet, go to the counter and look at their wonderful choices from their robust menu. With so many decisions it was difficult to decide. At first I looked at the order just a sandwich, but noticed that I could have a complete meal for just one dollar or two more. So Veal Parmigiano with spaghetti it was and hubby chose Chicken Florentino with Linguine. After deciding on a table in this beautifully decorated dining room, we waited only about 10 minutes or so to come to two huge plates of food! It was hot and freshly prepared with more than generous portions of pasta, sauce and meat. Each order was accompanied by a small bread roasted Italian bread and the chicken dish also had a beautiful side salad. All that was tried was most delicious with a genuine Italian taste to any article. The portions were so big that despite our brave efforts we took a little home with us! The only thing that was missing from this truly authentic Italian meal was a bottle of house wine This such a pleasant surprise, so great food served hot and fresh from such an inconspicuous place. The friendly atmosphere and attention to our needs have been appreciated. You don't have to go far for good Italian food here in Shelbyville!

I was very surprised at this little restaurant. The chicken parmesan plate I ordered was really good. The house salad that came with him was really fresh and well combined. I'll eat here again when I'm in Shelbyville. Very recommended.

Best pizza in the middle Tn. Domino suck compared to it and it is twice the price. Your calzones are dying for
