Classical ambiance. Staff provides fantastic and refined service and is highly attentive and anticipatory of one's needs. The food is stellar without being mainstream and conventional. I appreciate the starters + the variety of dishes on the menu outside of pasta. Desserts resemble an art exhibition, are creative and are definitely the highlight of this restaurant. Fave is the pistachio creme brûlée - yay.
This place is a big break from all the trendy, hard to get, crowded italian places in NYC. It's old school, you get treated like royalty, anything you order I'm sure is going to be top notch, and you get complimentary small bites from the chef all the time. If you want to impress your in-laws, this is the way to go. The butternut squash ravioli was to die for, and the tiramisu is probably the best I've had in the city. I bet the pre-fixe menu is great, but we ordered a la carte and had the best time too.
We didn't feel rushed to get up and leave, and we just had an amazing evening overall. Would definitely come back soon, thanks for the impeccable service and food!
Scalini Fedeli is outstanding! The food is classic Italian done perfectly — rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautiful presentation. The pasta is especially amazing, and every course feels carefully made. The restaurant is elegant and quiet, perfect for a romantic dinner or special night out. The service is warm and professional, making the whole experience feel extra special.
We had an event in the neighborhood and were searching for a nice restaurant and wow did we find a winner!
Scalini Fedeli was exceptional.
From the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left it was an exceptional dining experience.
The restaurant interior is beautiful, soft vaulted ceilings, comfortable seating and the lighting is just right. We arrived early and were offered a corner booth type table which was perfect for the two of us.
Each course of the fixed price menu was excellent.
We look forward to returning and highly recommend.
Such an enjoyable experience…the food was so nice, especially the egg yolk truffle ravioli, one of the best I’ve ever had. The sorbet was very good and refreshing as well. A little suggestion would be that the pork chop(the really thick one) is a bit dry and tasteless, would be so much better if accompanied with some sauce. However other dishes are really delicious.
Service is nice as well. Servers are professional and polite, but also friendly, feels like home. Nick greeted us by the end of the meal and we had a very enjoyable chat.
Love the atmosphere, really nice decor, brings me back to my Europe trip.
