"We had to wait 10+ minutes just to be greeted. I was freezing as the door is close by. The tables are almost on top of each other- too cramped. We have had better Italian food. Disappointing. However, the wait staff was very friendly."
They have a great lunch menu at very reasonable prices. I ordered the chicken marsala, which was delicious and well-prepared, accompanied by a salad and warm bread with butter or olive oil. The salad was fresh and came with a homemade Italian dressing. My friend had a glass of wine, which was also priced fairly.
I highly recommend this charming family-run establishment for anyone seeking a romantic dinner or lunch. Sasha even showed us the beautifully decorated private room upstairs, which has its own bar. If you’re looking for a standard chain restaurant like Olive Garden or Applebee’s, then that’s fine. But if you appreciate an intimate dining experience with exceptional food, quick and f...
it certainly saw the part .a rustic little place that was comfortably decorated. but unfortunately the positive ends. after an incredibly long wait for eating, and bad wait personal service that finally arrived. it was the worst Italian food we had ever tasted! there were so many problems with this place that we could not recommend it. the people work hard for their money and earn to get what they pay .and should not leave a device feeling as if they were just being exploited what we felt. albany has many fine Italian edibles. that's just none of them!
The service was outstanding. I am looking forward to returning to the Albany area on business so I can enjoy another dining experience at V&R Ristorante. When I visited there last it was with a very special individual. The service that we received was unparallel. The staff there stayed after closing time as to not rush us and provided us with a very quaint, private setting with excellent food and great wine. A must when in the Albany area!
V R serves delicious, hearty Italian food. Its rival, Lombardo's, is directly across the street, and native Albanians debate which serves the best Italian fare. I prefer V R because of its quiet, intimate atmosphere and its classic marinara sauce. For dessert, try the ricotta cheesecake. It's light and fluffy and a nice alternative to the traditional tiramisu.

We celebrated our son's upcoming wedding with a rehearsal dinner in the banquet room on the upper floor. The atmosphere was intimate and delightful. The service was excellent and unobtrusive. The food was out of this world. We had many guests from out of town included in the celebration, and they were all very impressed by both the meal and the service.
I visited during restaurant week with some friends and I have to say, I will definitely be back! The entire meal was an incredible value. The soup was full of flavor, the veal was beautifully presented on the plate, and the tiramisu was the perfect finishing touch, showcasing the skill of a talented pastry chef.
