The service here is so nice and welcoming. Very fast which was perfect because we were very hungry. The Manzo Panini was excellent, wish it had just a little more meat on it but still tasted great! The interior is really modern yet retro style. I enjoyed every bit of my time here. read more

Jupiter - The Manzo panini - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

We got a table on the terrace area with the hope of overlooking the ice skating like the old Rock Center Cafe. The Rock Center Cafe was directly next to the glass with tables overlooking the skaters. The perfect environment for a special holiday meal. I saw they had reservations for spots on the indoor terrace next to the rink and was excited to go. Unfortunately, Jupiter's tables are caddy corner from the rink and behind a railing that is at least 15 or 20 ft away. In the space between the terrace and restaurant, other visitors stand to observe the skaters, blocking the view most of the time. Jupiter's terrace has significantly less ambience than the interior of the restaurant, which is behind a curtained glass window. It was also pretty cold on the terrace. The food was ok, but I was disappointed with experience overall. I wish the Rock Center Cafe was still there. It's not a bad restaurant, but I hoping for the classic Rockefeller dining experience -in my opinion this isn't it. read more

Wow, who could imagine a worse experience while in NYC? To set the stage: We had a tour of 30 Rock and purchased a Prix Fixe Menu at Jupiter via the 30 Rock Tour booking. We were told we'd get an OpenTable to pick the time of our dinner, that didn't happen. We decided to head over to Jupiter to work out a time for our dinner well in advance. The manager who was working in the morning said, come by anytime after 8pm, which worked great as we had the 30 Rock Tour and pictures of the Rockefeller Christmas Tree until about that time. We arrived around 8:30, the matradee asked for our reservation and we explained the situation - he made several physical gestures that implied to both my wife and I that this was an issue. After some "drama" he said how many. I said the two of us. He sat us in the mezzanine "outside" area, it's actually inside but outside of the main resturant on the mezzanine. Before we got comfortable we noticed that it was very chilly, we asked the matradee if we could please be moved. Our waiter came over and filled our water glasses, we mentioned that we were trying to get moved - just to give him a heads-up. We sat... and sat... and sat and finally we asked the waiter if we were going to be moved or would we be staying here - he said, doesn't look like you're moving. The matradee NEVER came and explained that they didn't have any inside seating and we couldn't move, he just ignored our request. The waiter was nice, the Prix Fixe menu was shared with us, one of us ordered a glass of wine and then we ordered our meals, he informed us that one of the deserts was not available, which as you'd guess was the one we had both wanted. We sat, and sat, and sat... with our coats (two layes of puffies), on and waited. The first course looked very nice/good but was rather bland without much flavor. The table next to us said, as they drank there red wine, that they've never experienced chilled red wine. They also had coats and scarves on. The apps looked very good but had little flavor. The bruschetta bread was so hard I could hardly cut it. The Caesar, again, looked good however it had little flavor. Our main course, pasta's, were similar - presentation looked good but neither had much flavor and sadly my noodles were not cooked long enough and were extremely tough. Did I mention, we sat, and sat, and sat? Then when the dessert did come we were so cold from sitting in this ice box that we didn't try more than a bite. It is really a shame that the matradee couldn't simply have said we have no other place at this time for you inside and let us make a decission maybe come back when it wasn't as busy instead he simply ignored the request. read more

Everything was amazing!!!! I ordered the shrimp linguine and everywhere I go it's my go to. I can never find a place that has ever done it consistently right whether it's the pasta or the shrimp. This place has 10 out of 10 hands-down the best shrimp linguine I have ever tasted the garlic and butter sauce. Amazing prawns cooked amazing linguine cooked to perfection other restaurants that provide shrimp linguine need to take a page out of Jupiter's book because this is hands-down the best I've ever had the best ambience the best service you will not be disappointed come try Jupiter restaurant!! read more

Very good dishes and tasty mocktails. The service started off slow but Kate picked up her pace. I was seated near the kitchen area which gives you a view of the cooks and the rink. I started with the caesar salad which was delicious. My main was Cacio E Pepe rigatoni, creamy but heavy on the pepper. Tiramisu dessert and a Ghia Sour mocktail to end the evening. read more

The Winter Salad (chicories) was excellent, and the grated aged Parmesan cheese piled on topic was excellent. We also had Arancini, tasted freshly made, and six smaller balls : great for sharing. read more

This is a great spot to check out for a light lunch. On a nice day you can enjoy their outdoor patio in Rockefeller center. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of dishes here. The bruschetta with marinated peppers was unbelievable and the Caesar salad was just as good with the seasoning blend in the dressing. The staff were quick and attentive and it was a wonderful dining experience. I look forward to coming back for the pasta! read more

Had a reservation at 12:45 didn't get seated till 1:15.... They did add prosciutto to a panini for us. The food is very good. Loved the beef papardelle. The zucchini frites and arancini were delicious too. It's located in Rockefeller center and it's Christmas time so I get that it's crazy but they are understaffed I guess. I mean our server was nice but we asked for Diet Coke twice and they came finally at the end of the meal It's very loud but again this is a tourist spot and it's lunch time. Bottom line: the food is good. The people are "nice" but the service is slow... read more

We ate at Jupiter the week of the tree lighting. The restaurant is located across from the ice rink inside Rockefellar Center. The location is a fun one! However, I don't recommend eating there during such a busy time. The service was VERY slow. It wasn't the fault of the two person staffed bar. They had a full bar plus a full service bar that seemed endless. The hostess walked by at around 9:15 pm and told our server they were seating reservations until 10:00 pm. Jupiter was going off-- literally! They needed help. I wanted to get in there and run some drinks. The best part of the meal was the 30 Rock cake. We did stay for cake since we'd invested quite a bit of time waiting for that first round of drinks. After we received drinks, our burrata showed up without bread. We ordered bread. They were out of bread by 8:30 pm (maybe sooner). We opted to save the cheese to enjoy with our meal. The Agnoli, Spiedini di Pollo, and Rigatoni came out together. We enjoyed each dish -- however, the chicken was a bit charred towards the end of the kabob. Overall, Jupiter's food wasn't bad but the service was not ideal. Go to Jupiter on a day when they aren't as crowded and be sure to order the 30 Rock Cake! The best in town! read more

Was at Rockefeller Center enjoying a nice Spring day in the late afternoon, good to see so many people enjoying the day. I had walked by the Restaurant before but never dined there, asked the hostess about the possibility of dining outdoors, after a short wait, we were seated outside by the skating rink. Very relaxed place with umbrellas covering most of the table areas. This Italian restaurant has a very nice menu, shared a Caesar salad which was a great decision, the dressing was more than delicious, taste of anchovies and fresh mayonnaise was delightful on the little gem lettuce leaves. Ordered the linguine with clams, very good, but could have been a little more generous with the clams. The other entree was the hanger steak, nicely seasoned and served medium rare. Will return next time I am at Rockefeller Center. read more

Prices and portions were typical for being at Rockefeller, but the quality of the food could be better. Skip the appetizers.. the focaccia was cold and dry, and there were still bits of connective tissue in the crudo that could have been cut off. The pappardelle pasta was okay, but the linguine had bits of sand in it, probably from the clams. The gelato had chunks of ice in it too.. Being in midtown, there are so many other options. I would overpay for dinner elsewhere. read more

Lovely pasta! We walked in for 2 on a Sunday night. We started with the tomato focaccia and cocktails, then shared the pappardelle with ragu and chicken skewers with the polenta fries. Definitely get a pasta. The 3 sauces with the chicken and polenta were all so tasty. We shared the melon sorbet with sparkling wine. I wish I could try all of the starters and sides next time. The cocktails are fun and interesting. I had a frozen one :) Friendly, quick service. The space is beautifully designed. We sat in a booth. I didn't realize this was the Jupiter with the Pasta Water candle collaboration with DS & Durga. Get the candle! Wonderful Italian place to eat around 30 Rock. We deserve food like this around the area :) read more

TLDR not worth it Jupiter was fine. The food was average and the service was also avg. The carrot dish we got i think was given to the table next to us who notified the server ( when they came back) that it was not their order. The server took it away and (pretty sure) five mins later brought US the dish they had almost served the other table. They were not great. The rabbit pasta dish was good but really small. The steak was so mid and small and expensive. The food was good ish but i don't think i'll be going back or recommending this restaurant. The ambiance IS really cute and I liked my wine a lot. So there's that. read more

We had a 9 pm reservations. When we got there we were seated immediately. The service was decent but not that great. The food was tasty but everything was a bit salty including the insalata. In fact, we couldn't finish it. The restaurant has a nice feel. If you get a table "outside" the restaurant you might have a view of Rockefeller Plaza. We were there in December so from some of the outside tables you could see the ice rink and tree. All in all it was a fine experience but I think you can get better food for the money. read more

The food is mediocre at best. Beautifully prepared but someone forgot about taste and satisfaction. The skewered chicken tasted like the food cart on 5th avenue. And the polenta fries tasteless. It goes on. The only good thing - and great - was the primavera salad which was crazy fresh and like just picked from the garden. Beautiful. The pasta with pesto and green beans looked fantastic. Like a magazine cover. But for Martha Stewart. The pesto was beautiful but over processed and bland - so so disappointing. Like having a beautiful date who wants to come over after dinner and then discusses Game of Thrones and falls asleep at 3 am Service here is very nice but very very confused. Took 15 Minutes to order their signature "Gibson ". Then someone came by to apologize for not having the garnish - and explained they had the "tincture" which made it special. But I declined and asked for a standard gin martini. They brought the gimlet anyway and it sucked. Apparently their special tincture is olive juice as it tasted like a crappy dirty martini some kids may order at a bar. They replaced it with what I asked for - the regular martini bit with their Boathouse gin and it was OK but didn't have the Boathouse gin. . They said they were a bit confused because of the "rush opening ". Across from the skating rink area there weee 4 people in the whole place. B team I guess tonite. Smart, Beautiful space. Very nicely presented food. Altho table cloths instead of the bare wooden tables would be nice given the $$$ and the fact it's not nice to have ones elbows dipped in whatever is on the table. And at $19 for a plain martini a little napkin or dish for the olive pit might be nice as well. The espresso burnt the enamel off my teeth then took the varnish off the table. I thought about calling FDNY hazmat but was late for the Ballet. Staff means well but apparently management is distracted. I'm a huge fan of King but Not this place. Get a new exec in the kitchen - this is no where near worth the hype or the prices and no where near the quality of King. Essentially a tourist place for those with a larger budget. read more

I recently visited Jupiter in Rockefeller plaza and had some mixed feelings about my experience. To start, the soup was overly salty, which significantly impacted its taste. However, the restaurant's location is perfect for those looking to take a break from walking around the area or who want a quick meal. The atmosphere was comfortable, and the service was quick and friendly.chocolate desert was so good and it's so big! read more

Jupiter - Chocolate cake dessert - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Very good. The food was flavorful, the drinks were good and the service was great. Sit inside if you want a more upscale, chic feel.

I was a bit hesitant from some of these reviews. However, we had a wonderful experience. Friendly helpful staff. Food was delicious. Monday is BYOB with no corkage fee!! As some have mentioned, the "rinkside" area gets blocked from public walkway. I read some say it's too cold out there but we didn't think so. However we did sit inside as the public area gets loud. Wait staff were great. We would definitely return. read more

Amazing location, but give yourself an extra 20 minutes to get there. You have to go down the elevator off 50th street to get down to the restaurant. I can imagine in the summer this is a hot spot with lovely views. We came at Christmas and while we were able to see the skaters through the window, the ambiance was a bit low light, with lots of kitchen sounds from the open air kitchen area right off the dining room. If you can, I would sit outside the restaurant itself. I got some incredible ragu and my husband got the bolognaise, both great. Our waiter was busy so we didn't get much face time- and were told we had to put in a full order up front so be prepared. Our drinks arriving after we were done with our app was a bit of a flop but overall it was a nice dinner. read more

I'm on a Rockefeller Restaurant Revival tour, checking out--with a lot of curiosity and a fair amount of trepidation--the dining spots that stakeholders are hoping will make this tourist mecca a hit with the locals again. Jupiter isn't likely the bring the 212ers in. The best thing I had was my cocktail, the Blood & Orange. We shared three pastas for dinner, and there was something wrong with all of them. The Spaghetti Alla Vongole was too watery and flavorless. The Paccheri Verdi Con Sugo Di Maiale E Limone was okay, flavor-wise, but undercooked. And the Agnoli Di Coniglio was appetizer-sized and kind of gamey. We were seated without any menus for nearly 10 min, and when we tried asking for them, the staff person told us our server would be by at some point with them. Really? Isn't it more customary for the host/hostess to provide the menus so diners have something to look at as soon as they're seated? Never mind that the restaurant was mostly empty and most of the staff were just chatting with each other looking bored. It's not like one of them could have given us our menus... read more

I was in the area and wanted to eat at Rockefeller Center. Their neighbors was a sandwich place that was packed. This place is not cheap but I decided to try it since the cheaper option was unavailable. The linguine with clams was a small portion. I think there were only 6 clams and the linguine was the same amount in an instant ramen bowl. It was unimpressive but heavy on the pepper. The 30 Rock Cake was just an oversized chocolate cake. It tasted just like any chocolate cake that you can get anywhere. This place is for people who do not mind high prices and are fine with small portions. The 30 Rock Cake is not small though. read more

Tajarin - the sauce was basically just butter and the chicken liver was very much overcooked. Paccheri with Pork Shoulder - kinda heavy. read more

I came here for dinner with a friend recently and had a lovely time. Being a fan of King, I was very excited to finally try Jupiter. The interior is modern and stylish with dramatic lighting. It was pretty lively and buzzing when we got there. I loved the ambiance for date night, but it can also get pretty loud in there. We both got the Jupiter Vesper, which was clean, pretty strong, and had a cool minimal look. We started with the fried artichokes, which were pretty solid. Then we shared the Alfabeto in Brodo and the Casarecce a la Genovese. The pasta was yummy, but I wish we had ordered something else instead of the Brodo, which was my bad, lol... I got it confused with a photo of some other dish I had seen beforehand. The Vitello alla Milanese was a highlight and very filling. For dessert, we ordered the Italian Mess, which was absolutely perfect. Our server was super sweet and brought us the Chocolate Sorbet, too. This was rich and decadent, being the chocolate lover that I am, I was very grateful. Service was friendly and attentive at all times. read more

I booked a lunch reservation at Jupiter one month in advance for my family and our "Christmas Day" in NYC. Approx. 10 minutes before my reservation time, the restaurant cancelled and said they had a gas leak. They didn't offer any replacement options, and just said "sorry". With only 10 minutes notice, I couldn't book a table at any of the other Rock Center restaurants. Jupiter should have called one of their neighbor restaurants to offer replacement reservations. Instead, they said "Go to Del Fresco's - I heard it's good there." Customer service doesn't exist at this establishment unfortunately. read more

There is not a lot to be desired at Jupiter. Why it was so bad... 1. The mozzarella di bufala was a dish that made no sense. Mashed chickpeas? That roasted vegetable on it did not pair well at all. The mozz was low grade. 2. The bruschetta with crab was not good. The crab had no taste and the dish didn't work well at all. 3. The spaghetti con bottarga was probably the worst tasting pasta I've eaten my entire life. A creamy mess that was sour. 4. The risotto flavor was ok but it the dish wasn't well balanced. It was definitely not worth $62. 5. The rabbit ravioli had bones in it. Like seriously? 6. The prices were ridiculous. A coke cost $6. The cocktails were $20. The pastas on average were $30. The steak for two was $120. Good but nothing special. The fish was ok but wasn't worth $63. Overall, this was just a bad menu and most things were poorly executed. read more

The latest big Rock Center restaurant to open up, the new pasta spot from the King team, with a prime location facing the rink with lots of nice light coming in from the ice. Much like the other recent additions, the food here is excellent and this is now definitely one of the best midtown lunch and dinner options. Start with the bread basket ($15) and get a lot of pasta, especially the Paccheri Verdi ($31). For dessert, get the Gelato Napolitano ($18). read more

Really nice low lit ambiance. Love the open kitchen style. Our waiter was very friendly and patient with my table's trouble in trying to choose our entrees. We started with the focaccia. They must have put parm onto the top before baking because the crust tasted like a extra toasty cheez it! Our entrees were good. Nothing to rage about tbh. We wished our bucatini was more creamy. The dish felt like it was missing something. Otherwise, this restaurant is def a nice place to go for the vibes. read more

My husband and I thought we were coming for a Restaurant Week prix fixe, which was stated on the website, but when we arrived, we were notified that they weren't honoring it for dinner. Disappointing, but the pricing was more or less the same. Then I found out that the outdoor seating and the outer area were both reserved for private events. Luckily they had a very pretty booth deep in the back, one of only two, so that was nice, but I was really looking forward to sitting outside in Rock Center and people watching. I got there early and had the extremely good strawberry rhubarb Negroni, and the bartender has a heavy handed pour. By the time my husband arrived I was pretty lit on the one drink. Ordered another with the beef carpaccio appetizer we split. The beef was delicious, though cut sort of thickly, maybe 4mm, and there were 3 slices. I am more accustomed to paper thin slices arranged over the plate so it's plenty to share and dissolves in the mouth. This was more like 3 excellent bites. My husband got the pappardelle pasta with ragu and I got the mandilli with pesto. Mine was good but very similar to what I make at home- admittedly handmade but too familiar. The ragu for the papardelle was truly fantastic and had a depth of flavor I can't do at home, so he definitely won the pasta round. They did had desserts available, but they were uninspiring, I was so drunk on two drinks I was hallucinating, and there's a cookie store in the colonnade, so dinner done. Service was good but obviously pulled to the two private events, so there was a lot of busier taking the drink orders and server attentive then disappearing. Don't know if I would be back unless I was already coming to Rock Center. read more

I never write reviews, but when I fondly think back to my week in NYC, one meal deserves a long overdue write-up: Jupiter. First, the location is amazing, right at Rockefeller Center. Such a great spot to people watch and enjoy a meal. I wish I had taken pictures of the food, which I normally do, but everything was eaten in a hurry by our party of four, it was that good. I always get the pappardelle, and it was one of the best ones I've ever had, not overly salted, or runny, or raw pasta al dente, just perfect. I was also a big fan of their chocolate ice cream. Just get it, this is coming from a non-sweet tooth. It has that intense dark chocolate flavor that I wish was more available in frozen form. Jupiter is more than just a place to eat, it's become a destination for me and my friends. Every aspect of the experience, from the ambiance to the service and, most importantly, the food, is executed so well. Jupiter is sure to impress. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning on my next NYC visit. read more

This is a Italian restaurant located in the Rockefeller Center in NYC on the level as the Ironic Ice rink. We only came here because it was recommended from another restaurant there that was closing, plus we were press for time with an appointment for the Jimmy Fallon taping The restaurant has a patio in the front, we were seated right a way, with a view of the Ice rink, our was nice also friendly, their menu was very limited with Items. We ordered the Bruschetta di Granchio which was toast with crab puntarelle with aioli, plus some fried zucchini fritti, the zucchini was salty so I asked our waitress for some ketchup to try to drown out the salt, she left and came back and told me that the restaurant doesn't carry any ketchup at all, I told her you have got to be kidding she smile and said very nicely again no salt. She told the hostess that I was very unsatisfied with my dish, she came and apologize plus stated that she would talk to the chef about being heavy of the salt, then offered me a free chocolate sorbet. read more
