Scalini Fedeli

I can’t say enough good things about this place. First of all, the price is very reasonable for the level of food and service you receive. The Genovese salmon dish was INCREDIBLE, and the chocolate soufflé, was the best dessert I have ever had, paired with a warm cup of tea, delightful! I was a solo diner, which often times gets me looked over and slower service, but NOT here. They treated me like I was a VIP and were so friendly and accommodating. 5 stars across the board, you cannot miss out on the experience you will have at Scalini Fedeli, book your table, do it!

Scalini Fedeli was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in ages. The service is outstanding & welcoming. The food is also fantastic. It is a great value for a pre-fixed menu and you will leave very full and happy. Great for special events or romantic date nights. We spent several hours there and did not feel rushed through the dining experience at all. I highly recommend the egg soft yolk raviolo with truffle and the lamp chops. They were extremely accommodating, proactive with service and included complimentary wine to celebrate the special occasion. Looking forward to coming back!

This restaurant was like taking a trip back in time. I didn't plan to eat here but we were curious about what was in the old Bouley space with those fantastic vaulted ceilings. First of all, the host was extremely gracious when we showed up without a reservation. They have a price fixe menu for $89 where you get about six courses. That price is very fair for the amount of food and service you get. The service was excellent. I was very impressed by how thoroughly the waiter folded my boyfriend's napkin when he went to the bathroom. A nice touch! What I love most about this restaurant is ability to hear. So they had tapered candles on some of the tables. Very old school. The menu was also huge! We found it difficult to make a choice of from all the amazing pasta offerings between the main menu and then the specials. I also really like the fact that the the supplements for dishes were reasonable. It was no $50 upcharge for shaved truffles. The food was good, not amazing but absolutely we are presenting what was offered. They bring a few of nibbles and small appetizers before your pasta course. The raviolo with runny egg yolk was very good as was the spaghetti Alice. Unfortunately, my duck was tough but my boyfriend salmon was very generous and tasty even if it was slightly overcooked from what we asked for. I thought that the desserts were the weakest link in the whole experience. It wasn't the execution or size but the quality of the chocolate and the ice cream that was lacking. Still a thoroughly enjoyable dinner that would be perfect if you were taking your elderly Mom out to dinner if you wanted to remember what good service used to be like in this town without paying to eat at the more expensive places in New York. I can think of two restaurants, right on West Broadway, that we've eaten in recently which were pricey and the service paled by comparison. Except for the staircase which is steep and could be a bit of journey for an elderly person.

We had an amazing meal at this place. The service was great, although perhaps not exceptional in their attention to detail. You get a real sense of old school Italian vibes at this place. The arched ceiling and the dimly lit tables with candles make you feel as if you're in a different era. The food was amazing. We loved every dish except for the duck, which was a bit tough and overpowered by the overly sweet jus. The seafood pasta and the Bolognese were excellent. The steak was very well cooked. Note that this place only offers pre fixe menus; no a la carte. Overall, we had a great time here and we'll go back to try some of the other dishes.

The ambiance is golden candle light and flowers is only exceeded my the amazing food and service. The food was presented like works of art. The combination of textures and scents and taste made me quiver in anticipation of the next plate. The flavors took me on such a journey. I found myself scraping my plates just to still enjoy some of the sauces. It was an inspired meal.

My new guy and I went here after I searched a lower Manhattan spot for him to get to as soon as possible and away from Tuesday traffic. The decor is pure Italian and gives you all the feels, it puts your mind in that space also. My date and I had a full feast and were pleasantly surprised at such great customer service and cleanliness. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully placed! See photos attached.
