V&R Fine Italian Cuisine

Paul MacFarland

First time at this restaurant in downtown Albany NY. Few Italian restaurants get a rating of absolutely excellent but this one nails it. Quiet , attractive environment, family owned and the quality of the food is outstanding!! Prices are really reasonable. On street parking but side streets provide ample access. Close to Empire State plaza and Times Union center. No disappointments.

We went for the 2nd year in a row for restaurant week. They offered the most selections than any of the other restaurants. We had the bruschetta for appetizers. Chicken alfredo and chicken piccatta for dinner, then rice pudding and cannolis for dessert. Everything was delicious and we both took left overs home. It is a gem in downtown albany.

Me and my fiancee found V&R during Restaurant week, and we loved it. We had dinner at the bar because we forgot to make a reservation, but we did not miss out. The bartender Fred was absolutely great. He took care of us along with fixing the music (it happen to stop playing), and making drinks for the other tables. What really made us like him more, was even though had alot of stuff going on, he was able provide a positive experience not only to us, but to other customers who were at the bar waiting for a table. The food was phenomenal and the dessert (which was homemade) was delicious.
