Rampoldi New York 49 West 64th Street, Manhattan, New York,

"The food was decent, but not worth the price given the small portion size. I liked the red wine braised beef especially. The octopus carpaccio was okay, but had too much olive oil. The staff seemed to have a limited understanding of the English language, having had to be repeatedly reminded what my family ordered; overall they seemed unprepared to provide adequate service at an establishment of this caliber.They also messed up my drink. On the bright side, we got fresh utensils halfway through the meal. Overall could use some work."

"Ate here last night and had no idea what to expect. We were wonderfully surprised. The service is outstanding, attentive, but not hovering or rushed. I had one of the best ice cold vodka martini's I've ever had. We had the lamb and the scallops - both were spot on. Had some leftovers to take home with us (too yummy to leave) and we were given an elegant "tag" to present at the door as we left. As we were leaving, we were presented with the leftovers in the most beautiful take-home bag. Will definitely be back. Thanks to our servers(s) and chef(s) for a really nice experience."

"We ordered the 3 course pre theatre menu. Our reservation was at 6, we needed to leave by 7:40 to go to Lincoln Center. The starters came at 6:30. The entrees did not come until 7:20. We were rushed eating the entrees, had no time to order and eat desert which was part of the price of the meal. We asked for a reduction in price. No dice. We asked them to comp a drink. Nothing. The manager suggested we take out desert and bring it into Lincoln Center. Clearly not a music fan. He also said that they had delivered our meals in a timely manner which they clearly had not. Very disappointed in bad service that could easily have been avoided."

"THIS is the best Italian restaurant in NYC. Honestly being from Europe it was hard for me to find the same level of elegance, amazing food and atmosphere in the city until I found this gem in Lincoln center. The food quality and selection was in tradition with the best French and European restaurants. Michelin star well-deserved. And oh don’t even let me start on service - I was treated with such care and quality, I was baffled. Best, best restaurant for any occasion!"

"You will not find food of this quality and type anywhere else in NYC or in the United States for that matter. This Monaco transplant is worth all the hype its Michelin star chef. There is meticulous detail in the food and decor. The service is unmatched and worthy of the most suffocated person."
