Ramona Singer enjoyed what appeared to be a romantic evening with Andrew Catapano on Thursday, but she tells Page Six the two are just close friends.

The “Real Housewives of New York City” star, 62, was spotted at Serena’s Wine Bar in the Upper East Side having drinks with Catapano, a contractor who in 2009 was sentenced to 10 months in jail for bribing union officials and a Con Edison employee in a multimillion-dollar scam to cut costs for his Queens-based company, AFC.

“She arrived first and grabbed a drink,” said an eyewitness. “He showed up a few minutes later and they sat at the bar and chatted for a while. They looked to be getting closer over the course of their drinks and at one point he touched her arm.”

Singer wore a black-and-white striped ensemble, while Catapano was dressed in a light blue suit with a white pocket square. “He looked handsome,” the spy noted.

The two left together about 45 minutes after they arrived, exiting the wine bar arm in arm.

Singer denied any romantic notions in a statement to Page Six, telling us, “He’s a family friend. Close to me, [daughter] Avery and [ex-husband] Mario. Not a date. Lol.”

“Known him for 24 years,” she added. “He’s like a brother.”

The Bravolebrity also told us that she’s more concerned with the three bathrooms she’s gut-renovating than she is with dating.

She mentioned that she’s particularly excited about the 4-by-8-foot shower she’s installing, adding, “Hopefully this time next year I’ll have a partner to take showers with!”

Catapano’s trial gained notoriety when his now-ex-wife, model Cindy Guyer, arrived in court only to find her soon-to-be ex-husband’s girlfriend sitting in the front row. Guyer lunged at the mistress, pulled her hair and shouted, “Tramp!”
