Rampoldi New York

Really good experience in a beautiful open venue. Service was perfect with good attention from multiple staff but not overbearing by any means. We especially loved the duck confit, soufflé, and complementary bread. There’s live music if it’s not too late. The ambience is great for a special occasion. The red lightning is interesting. Maybe not for everyone. Would come back again for another special event.

The good: elegant atmosphere and service was good. We loved the live music, and appreciated the complimentary flute of prosecco at the door! The bad: the food was just good, not great. We had the foie gras appetizer, a filet and the scallops. Nothing was bad by any means, but it was just okay. Would have loved a little better sear on the steak, and the scallops were kinda bland. Also our martinis were just fine. Giving them a break here since they weren’t technically a drink offering but still, any respectable bar should be able to nail a martini. I shouldn’t be sitting there wishing I had made it myself while paying $24 for it haha. Overall just felt like they didn’t really deliver. That said, the prices seemed fair and portions were okay.

Steak was great, make sure to get medium rare. Got the tartare for appetizers and the apple pie + vanilla ice cream for dessert. The live music piano and bass jazz was absolutely amazing, even had a friend request a song! Service was excellent as well. Very high end though, but you get what you pay for

Rampoldi has become one of those rare New York restaurants I return to again and again—and after more than four visits, it’s firmly earned its place as one of my favorites in the city. From the moment you step inside, the ambience feels effortlessly elevated: refined, intimate, and unmistakably upscale without ever feeling stiff or pretentious. The service is consistently exceptional—warm, attentive, and polished in a way that makes every visit feel special and personal. It’s the kind of hospitality that enhances the experience rather than interrupts it, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine care. The food is, quite simply, delightful. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and rich in flavor, making it clear that quality and detail are at

I originally intended to make a reservation at their sister restaurant Atlantic Grill around the corner before a show at Lincoln Center but when that team couldn’t locate my reservation, they sent me next door to their sister restaurant Rampoldi which shares the same kitchen I believe and is connected. When I first entered the space I was impressed by the ambiance and red/pink lighting that reminded me of passion and romance. We got seated in the back dining room which worked perfectly, especially since we didn’t have a reservation. The establishment had a pri fixe option available for pre-show meals at a reasonable price ($68) but we decided to pick our own dishes instead. Ordered the half dozen oysters and calamari to start and everything was just ok My espresso martini was well craft
