Rampoldi

Sophisticated and upscale with a sultry ambience, the atmosphere is only matched by the superb food and excellent service. David was our server and he took wonderful care of us- expertly guiding us through the menu. We enjoyed the half dozen oysters of the day which were beautifully presented. My husband ordered the duck confit and I ordered the salmon. His duck was the winner of the two entrees as the flavor was rich, dynamic and had an incredible sweetness that was perfectly balanced with the bold red wine sauce. Each bite brought a new burst of flavor and it was so enjoyable. The salmon was delicious as well and both were plated in such an aesthetically pleasing way: feast for the eyes! I was so pleased with the coconut sorbet- if you enjoy the flavor of coconut at all, you must order it. Rich and nutty and a perfect way to end the meal. We highly recommend this - it is next level.

I was expecting an amazing meal based on the back story of this spot and the history of the original location in Monaco. Sadly, my experience was more mixed.The ambiance is beautiful and I loved the set up and colors. It was pretty desolate when we were there...perhaps because it was Monday night and they were missing the theater crowds.The food was just ok. The halibut was a little fishy, the scallops were uninspiring. The pumpkin soup was the best item I had. The brownie with ice cream was ordinary and I did not finish it. Service was just ok too...the waitress kept disappearing on us. Perhaps my expectations were too high or it was just an off night based on the other reviews.

I came in 12/21 for a dinner with my girlfriend for a spontaneous dinner since we were near Lincoln center, and I just have to say that the food, and the service was amazing! Normally when I ask for recommendations from a server they recommend the most expensive wine regardless of what I ordered. Marjourie (my server) not only recommended the "Dover sole" with reasonably priced wine, she went above and beyond with her service. This was the first time but not the last time I will be dining here!

Rampoldi is top 3 French cuisine in NYC. Place is very weird in terms of lighting. Everything is red. I don't know why but you are here at night, be awared of the lighting. Food is undisputed great. We had lobster bisque, angus beef, burrata, risotto and also soufflé!!!Everything is on point. I felt like I haven't had such a good French dinner for a while. I felt like this is just as good as Le coucou. Service is also exceptional. Overall, if you see my post and happen in nyc, yes you gotta get here now.

Bathe yourself in luxury you deserve it! I'm not sure why this landed on the UWS instead of the UES but it's snazzy to the max. The dinner prix fixe for $59is a steal but I did brunch.Ate:Omelette vegetarian MinestroneChianti $16What a treat! My dream is this enormous bottle of olive oil that arrives to the table with a bread basket and olives.!!!Divine and delicious.Fab! I can't wait to come for dinner!

This Monaco staple opening in New York has been a long time coming. At the very least, I for one have been waiting a long time. Poldi's as we call it lovingly in the family is the place for all important occasions. If a serious conversation needs to be had or a milestone celebrated and you want everything to be perfect, it's where one goes. Still in the early days of New York's understanding of the importance of this establishment, the meal was already flawless. Grissini and olives gave way to amazing burrata and pea soup dishes, followed by beef and duck. A festive traditional dessert finished off the meal followed by little pastries. The meal was impeccable - as expected - it was a birthday after all.

Rampoldi is AMAZING!! this is the most beautiful restaurant in NY. The service is amazing, the drinks and the food is good! this just became my favorite place in NY! thank you Rampoldi.

Decor- ritzy and glitzyService - lots of uniformed servers. They were professional and conscientious. Food - generous portions, plated beautifullyThis is the perfect place for a pre-theater prix fixe meal before seeing a show at Lincoln Center. The service was fast but not rushed. I was particularly pleased to see the Vitello Tonnato appetizer. It's one of my favorites, and they executed it very well. The pea soup (Soupe aux Pois) was rich and thick. The chicken was nicely seasoned and moist. Their pastry case in the back looks very interesting. We tried the Glace à la lavande de Provence. The yogurt tasted more like ice cream, and every bit on the plate was delicious, especially the truffle honey. Lemon meringue cake had the right balance of sweet and tart. FYI It looked like you could just stop in for a cocktail and pizza or snack at the bar. I might try that next time I'm in the area if I don't have a reservation.

Being a fan of Monaco, I wanted to be a fan of Rampoldi in NYC. For me, it joins the rest of Lincoln Square in what someone on Reddit recently deemed to be "expensive mediocrity."The red lighting is terrible and everyone looks like a vampire. Secondly, the booth cushions are notably low quality for a new high-budget restaurant.Things started off questionably as my mocktail was just very sugary fruit punch. Most canned mocktails these days are superior.The tableside beef tartare sounds great but I found the execution to be way off for the price point. First of all, the cart with the mixing bowl is higher than the tables, so once all of the ingredients are poured in you can't look and see the actual mixing as you could for a caesar salad made next to your table. More unfortunately, and this is clear before anything is mixed, the beef is finely ground, with a texture that ends up being mushy nearly overpowered by the added fats / binding agents. Real beef tartare should have some fortitude and some density to each bite. This was very disappointing.The crab ravioli with clams were fine. The whole branzino prepared tableside was delicious and this was the closest thing to the fond food memories I had in Monaco.This is a viable one-and-done if you have unlimited money! But my experience here supports the hypothesis that when you dip below Michelin-starred dining, it turns out that NYC's food scene has a density of excellent restaurants that doesn't have much room for stuffy expats from tiny countries.

Rampolli is a beautiful dining experience. Venue is gorgeous! Staff are warm and welcoming. Food is presently beautifully. Some of our favs... Rampoldi's take on eggplant parm! Delicious. Also a great Caesar Salad. Desserts are special Everything here ensures a lovely dining experience
