Jamaica Restaurant Week-Raffaele's Gourmet Pizzeria

Pin It

November 11 - 19 is  Restaurant Week here in Jamaica. A couple of friends and I decided to join in and see what it was all about. 

According to the official website: 

Restaurant Week spans three cities, Kingston, Montego Bay, and Ocho Rios, and this will give diners more opportunities to share in one of the island's most celebrated culinary experiences.

Categories
All participating restaurants will offer a choice of pre-selected three-course dinner menus. Restaurants will offer three-course meals (appetizer, main course, and dessert) in one of five categories:

• "Tasty" dinner menus are $1,450
• "Savory" are $2,000
• "Delectable" meals are $3,300
• "Epicurean" experiences are available for $3,800 and
• "Nyam and Scram"

We went to Raffaele's Gourmet Pizzeria, and their Restaurant Week menu is as follows:
