D'raymonds

Long established Fine Italian restaurant located in Albany,NY. Professional wait staff. Extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of this 40 plus year old history of serving delicious meals to everyone who comes here. Ann, part owner of D'Raymonds, greeted us upon arrival. From the past of smoked filled booths to current. She made you feel welcomed. From wine to dessert, you knew you would leave satisfied. If you have never been here, what are you waiting for? I would strongly recommend reservations.

Pesce Alfredo at D Hammond’s A masterclass in balance, this seafood Alfredo delivers indulgence without overkill. The mafaldine pasta—those elegant, ruffled ribbons—cradle a velvety cream sauce that’s both rich and restrained. Each bite is a gentle wave of comfort, kissed with briny sweetness from perfectly cooked shrimp, lobster, and scallops. The green onion garnish adds a pop of freshness, while cracked black pepper brings just enough edge to keep things interesting. Visually, it’s a stunner: plated with intention, the seafood glistens like jewels in a sea of silk. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate the craftsmanship. Bonus points for the cozy bar backdrop—Tito’s signage and all—because nothing pairs with creamy seafood pasta like a well-earned cocktail and good company.

Delicious, great waitress, crowded and a little hard to hear due to the noise level. Will definitely return.
