Italian
Tiella serves modern Southern Italian cuisine. Its inventive and sophisticated menu is inspired by and elevates the home-cooked meals and peasant culinary traditions owners Giuseppe Castellano and Mario Coppola were raised with in Naples, Italy. Indeed, Tiella takes its name from the Neopolitan word for a cast-iron pan that is used for baking, grilling or frying meats, fish and breads. Our signature tiellas are pizza-like appetizers baked in our wood-fired oven. Our philosophy is that the greatest meals require the finest ingredients. We import mozzarella di bufala, stracciatella and other fine cheeses, as well as risotto and prosciutto from Italy. Many other ingredients are sourced from local producers and farmers. To ensure that we serve the very best bread and pasta, we make our own. The extensive wine list is comprised of Italian makers and complements the menu.

    When I got to the restaurant on March 3, there was a sign in the door saying they had closed on February 29th for good. I had made a reservation a month in advance and not once did they let me know they would be closing or had closed before my trip to New York. So all of a sudden we found ourselves without a reservation and no dinner plans. I was not happy at all with how it was handled.

    The food is always dependable and good here. I have never had a disappointing meal. I can't comment on the meat dishes as I don't eat meat, but fish dishes and vegetarian options are very tasty. This place isn't local to me so it takes a good place to drag me all the way across town! Plus, the wine list is reasonably-priced. Service is attentive. Wait time can be excessive. I would still recommend this place highly as a good, dependable, delicious Italian/Mediterranean.

    The pizza was tasty but not hot. The crust was not crisp at all but had the texture of bread. My eggplant parmigiana was not hot. In fact , the center was cool. In all, my dinner was disappointing.

    Always a pleasure to dine here. Although the owner is new, the food and high quality service remains the same. Our favorites: the calamari, the salmerino main dish and the potato encrusted fish. If you are in the mood for pizza, their arugula and prosciutto one is delicious. And if you just want a nice seemingly home cooked meal, you can't go wrong with the chicken.

    The welcome does not have the charm of the previous management but the chef still prepares excellent dishes. We have had to ask to turn down the music. It is a small intimate restaurant and we used to enjoy the quiet. It is still the best Italian fare in the neighborhood so we will keep trying.

    Great dinner. Nice and quiet to have a real conversation. Food was fantastic. Started with the goat cheese salad which was so fresh and perfectly dressed. My friend and I both ordered fish entrees, which were cooked to perfection. Flavorful and not overdone. Wine selections were good. Their waiters were very polite and attentive and the spacing of the courses was very smooth. We did not have to wait too long for our salad or dinner, but we had plenty of time to catch up. It was a really lovely dinner. So glad we went.

    Have been to Tielli a number of times and have never been disappointed. Simple Italian: pizzas, pastas, salads, mains, buffalo mozzarella for the lactose intolerant, wonderful desserts. Food is delicious, service is friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Always happy at Tiello.

    Second visit for lunch with my family (party of four.) Space is small but comfortable. Service was excellent. Ordered from the Prix-Fixe lunch menu on both occasions. Very good value for the quality and quantity of food/drink. We found all of the offerings we ordered to be to our liking. Favorites: Calamari (antipasti); Pappardelle e Scialatielli (primi/secondi); Cioccolato (dolci). Very nice selection of Italian wines--we enjoyed them by the glass and by the bottle.

    I invited 2 friends to join me at Tiella, one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. The service was outstanding; we were 3 people sharing all dishes. Each dish came on 3 separate plates. The food was excellent. My friends were very happy and asked that we eat at Tiella again. I was thrilled because that means they will come to my neighborhood.
