Scalini Fedeli - Chatham
Loved every part of our evening!!!! Can't wait to come back!!
Very expensive for typical food selections.
The food was delectable; however, not worth the cost.
There for my husband’s birthday with another couple. We love Scalini Fedeli and have dined there several times over the years however my filet mignon was prepared medium rare instead of medium. Luckily my friend’s husband was hungry and ate my portion. In addition, my husband and I always enjoy a seafood crepe that is a specialty item on the menu and instead one two crepes, there was only one. I guess they have decided to downsize the portions which is unfortunate. Other than that, we had a spectacular evening as usual. I will always consider Scalini Fedeli one of my favorite restaurants.
Absolutely delicious!!! Get the pork chop!
Everything is excellent. The quality of the food puts Scalini Fedeli in a special class of restaurant at the top.
We had a wonderful meal at Scalini Fedeli as always. Scalini is by far my favorite restaurant in the NJ/NY area. However, I do have to say for Valentines Day I was a little underwhelmed. I felt like the price increase from 59 for the normal prix fixe to 100 per person for the valentines dinner was a large jump for not much more than the usual experience. The only extra was one more shrimp in their tasting appetizer, and smoked salmon on a cracker to start. The appetizers and entrees were a lot of the features from the usual menu. We spent $80 more for what seemed like $5 more in extras. I would have liked to have seen lobster on the menu or something over the top for the price point. Maybe even a complimentary glass of champagne to start. Especially since we still had to add a bottle of wine and tip to our total, making it over a 300 dollar dinner. The food was delicious, but next year we will go the day before valentines or the day after to save that extra cash.
Scalini Fedeli is a beautiful restaurant and the food is outstanding. It’s pricey but you definitely get what you pay for.
Perfect setting! Excellent food and ambiance
Fantastic spot. Food was superb. I liked the menu layout and options. I had a duck breast and pounded pork chop parmigiano that were both outstanding. Wonderful surprise to see egg yolk ravioli on the menu and it was done perfectly. The waiter was fantastic. Attentive but not looming, impeccable timing on drinks and food delivery. So glad I took the chance based only on being listed as one of Opentables Top 100 romantics. From the Valet to the Coffee this would be a great spot for a date. The Prix Fixe works very well here and the menu was robust and impressive enough that you didnt feel the need to consider any premium items.
Outstanding service and dining experience. Thank you.
This was our first time and won’t be our last. The food was awesome!
Love this place!!!!
Will return again. Always professional service.
phenomenal restaurant for both special occasions and just a treat
The service was great! The portions are small and unfortunately we had a large noisy table next to us.
The reviews don’t do justice. The food is excellent and the staff is equally fantastic. You will not be disappointed!
Amazing food and great service. We have never been disappointed in all the years we have been going!
This was our third time back. Can’t wait to make it four
Loved this restaurant for so long. First time
2 of us didn’t love our food.
We had an amazing dining experience. The food was outstanding and the staff was wonderful from the moment we walked in the door. The menu has so much to choose from there is something for everyone. John took wonderful care of us throughout the evening. Will be sure to return very soon!
The service was very attentive and the food was excellent. Consistently a great experience.
Great food but did not love the service one bit.
The food was excellent. It is a very special place. Truly a dining experience.
The service is always high end. The attention to detail superior.
Go hungry and prepare to be treated to incredible food and doting service
The food is always excellent here. The service is great. I love this restaurant. The only problem with the last time I ate here was that two tables away was the horrible ex-governor, the everpiggish Chris 🤮Christie
Great Italian restaurant, had raviolo and pork chop, best ever !!!! Friendly service and nice looking room ,We shall return !
We just moved into this area and I was attracted to the fact the restaurant is in an old home everything really exceeded our expectations we had a fabulous time the ambience service and food were all top-notch we are definitely making this our favorite spot to go and they really accommodated me with my gluten and dairy allergies and the food still came out unbelievable!
Rated as best restaurant in NJ, but would not last for a month in NY.
Beautiful dining experience. They made it very special for us celebrating our anniversary and even comping is port wine. Food was amazing as was presentation, staff and service. Highly recommend!!!
1st time there. I was delighted with the amazing flavors.
Wonderful experience. Excellent service and incredible food!
Have to say....first time here and beyond what I expected. Brilliant. Beautiful, great foos, wonderful staff.
Great food, great service, good price for quantity and quality of food.
Maybe my expectations were set too high, but our overall experience was just okay. Service and food were good, but the restaurant was so dated and other guests so elder, felt like I was on a cruise ship in the 80’s. Orange ceilings, weird lighting - old furniture - lack of bar area - was just strange. Even the silverware was mangled and didn’t match. Food was good, but probably not good enough to warrant another visit. Maybe if they renovate.
Excellent experience as always. Great local place with top notch italian food with a NY flare.
Excellent and delicious food but everything was much too salty.
We have been going to Scalini in Chatham as very frequent diners for over 10 years. Since the change in management several months ago the single best thing about Scalini remains the excellent wait staff, all of whom are gracious and professional. However, the food has been uneven at best. The menu lacks any novelty at all, even seasonal - almost no changes have been made in the menu in the past 10 years, including the amuse-bouche of a single shrimp as a starter, and the same sorbet served as an intermezzo. In early fall 2 of the 4 meals were significantly overdone. This past weekend 3 of us went for a very early dinner and there were clearly problems in the kitchen. We waited 45 minutes for our main course, along with another small table, while the 2 large parties were seated and served. It also seems a little odd that a restaurant at this price point has no dress code-- or at least one that is not observed by management but certainly observed by other patrons. The value has declined for an increased prix fix fare.
Food was outstanding, service was excellent, ambience is very pleasant but the price is more than one can justify, for lunch, even where the food is this good. That could well explain why the restaurant was all but empty on a Friday at 1pm.
The food was great. This place never disappoints. It always amazes us that the restaurant and it's stunning interior design is part of a colonial home that George Washington visited.
The food is pretty good and the atmosphere is nice but it is not good value for money as it is very expensive in comparison with other high-end restaurants. The staff was very nice but had some distinct confusion about what we ordered.
