    Rampoldi has become our go-to for special occasions, and our latest visit proved why. The elegant yet inviting ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable evening. I had the eggplant parmesan, rich and flavorful, while my wife’s halibut was perfectly cooked. The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive. Rampoldi consistently exceeds expectations, and we can’t wait to return!

    Interesting and diverse menu. Great service. Need to be more conscious of lighting: a little too bright this time, previously too dark.
