Both Manhattan Restaurants on the Map
Riviera-Style Plates in a Manhattan Dining Room
Rampoldi New York brings a Monte Carlo reference to Manhattan through a Baroque-style dining room with marble floors, Murano chandeliers, and paintings by Domenico Zapata. Chef Antonio Salvatore’s menu focuses on regional French-Italian plates, including specialty truffle pizza and paccheri I.G.P. alla Siciliana. Live piano music adds to the evening setting, while the restaurant’s schedule is worth checking, it is closed on Mondays and Sundays and opens at 3:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
Robata Grilling and Hand Rolls Nearby
Zuma New York brings contemporary Japanese cooking to an iron-and-leather-clad Madison Avenue room. The menu includes spicy tuna and salmon avocado hand rolls, ribeye, and watercress and avocado salad. A sake bar carries more than 80 bottles. Cocktails arrive with premium, slow-melting ice. Daytime dining includes the Ebisu Business lunch. Private dining and event areas can transform from four rooms into one, accommodating up to 500 guests.
Mediterranean Sharing Against a Japanese Counter
Rampoldi New York and Zuma New York offer distinct dining formats across Manhattan. Guests seeking French-Italian plates, live piano accompaniment, and Baroque decor can head toward West 64th Street. That room suits evening plans later in the week, remaining closed on Mondays and Sundays. Meanwhile, Zuma New York on Madison Avenue provides weekday lunch alongside nightly dinner service. Its iron-and-leather interior centers on robata dishes, specialty hand rolls, and a lounge pouring from eighty sake selections.
