Ramerino Italian Prime sits at 16 East 39th Street in Midtown Manhattan, steps from Bryant Park, the Empire State Building and the New York Public Library, between Grand Central and Times Square.
Chef Wilfrid Hodai, a Tuscan native, cooks handmade pasta, fresh seafood, premium meats and seasonal vegetables with traditional technique and a modern hand. The room was designed by Paul Vega of VLDG Design. Ramerino is the Italian word for rosemary.
Some dishes arrive at the table whole: Branzino, Dover Sole, Ossobuco and the Caesar salad are finished in front of you, and dessert ends with classic zabaglione. Vegetarian and vegan guests are welcome, with dishes made for them.

Ramerino is authentically Italian and perfect. The staff was so attentive to the point where my water glass is half full and it's already being filled. Can't speak enough on the hospitality of the staff. Super welcoming, attentive, and friendly. Lastly, the food (I had the beef carpaccio and lava cake) was great, no complaints. Would recommend and definitely return ❤️
What a great find in NYC. Food was great and service even better, I was truly impressed. Highly recommended for classic Italian in a beautiful setting and old school service standards.
Elegant atmosphere and delicious food. I absolutely love the octopus dish and the pasta dishes here. Great spot for a date night. The meat is prime and cooked to order. Love the table side dishes
Meal was fantastic. Had the Linguine with calamari and shrimp. Ordered the gluten free pasta. The calamari was tender and perfectly cooked (overcooking makes it like eating rubber bands as my uncle would say - though all too common, this was not the case here). The shrimp were equally tender. I asked for al dentee pasta and they complied fully. The suppliers of gluten free pasta have improved to the point that I prefer this over regular pasta. All was in a wonderful butter sauce. The experience was delightful. Service was very professional and excellent. Atmosphere is decidedly upscale.
My waiters Fallow and Anselmo were very attentive, professional, and friendly. The star of the show was the food. I ordered the chicken parm and it was one of the best I've ever had. Delicious fried chicken, still crispy under a delightful sauce, and topped with perfectly melted cheese. I got the Lava Cake for dessert and it was also delicious! I can't wait to return to Ramerino the next time I'm in Manhattan.
We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday, and from the moment we walked in, it felt like home. Val and Steve made the night truly special. Their service was attentive, warm and genuinely personal, the kind that makes you feel like a regular on your very first visit. Everything was perfectly timed, and they clearly went out of their way to make the celebration memorable. We left with full hearts and are already planning our next visit. Thank you both for an unforgettable evening!
We had a fantastic dinner couple of nights ago. Food was tasty, wait staff very attentive, ambiance was very friendly, nice music . I already knew their kitchen is spotless, which is the number one reason I went there . Can’t say how I know though lol . Clean kitchen is big for me , this is NYC folks … and I will leave it at that. Thank you Ramerino , you did not disappoint. My guests were impressed!!
We very much enjoyed this restaurant. We started out by sharing the Caesar salad for two that was made in the center of the restaurant. It was delicious. I ordered the fusilli pesto. The pasta was cooked al dente and the pesto was flavourful and obviously made from scratch. I ordered for dessert the mousse cake with pistachios. The hard white chocolate center was unexpected and added an additional texture to the soft mousse, nuts, and fresh berries. I would definitely return to this restaurant even if I was not staying at the Hyatt Centric 5th Avenue.
The dinner was EXCELLENT! And my waiter was nice and hilarious, Took a girl here for a date just last-night, and it was the best. Waiter got a good tip too
Everything was absolutely perfect for my daughter’s 16th birthday celebration with her friends! The food, service, and atmosphere were wonderful. Plus, the view was amazing, it made the whole experience even more special. We had a great time and would definitely come back!
We had such a great time at Ramerino. Food was sooo good, especially Cacio e Pepe it's the best I've ever had. The staff was super friendly. Highly recommand.
