Scalini Fedeli ranked among New York's finest restaurants since its opening in early 2004, taking Italian cuisine to new heights. Rewarded with the highest overall ratings in the Zagat Survey, Scalini Fedeli has been granted one star by the Michelin guide in it's inaugural 2006 issue. The inviting decor features vaulted ceilings and European antiques and provides the perfect setting for chef Michael Cetrulo's delightful cuisine which offers the finest ingredients coupled with a confidence and grace that ensures your meal will be a memorable one. Menu highlights include soft egg yolk raviolo with ricotta and truffle butter and New York's finest venison chop in a port wine and balsamic vinegar sauce with toasted hazelnuts, sautéed spinach and roasted Mission figs. The 350-bottle wine list encompasses all regions of Italy but also does justice to the best American wineries.

This was an amazing dining experience. The service was impeccable! We were made to feel special from the moment we walked in. The roast port special was out of this world. The only bad part was I feel like I will never have pork that good anywhere else. I would highly recommend!

This restaurant is without a doubt one of the finest restaurants in New York City. With the chefs attention to detail, the beautiful food that continued to come out all evening with every dish so tasty and scrumptious and incredibly, each dish better than the next, made for the perfect dining experience. Every plate we received was perfectly cooked and served with delicate sauces that were just out of this world. They were so delicious that my boyfriend literally asked for a spoon so he could scrape the plate and get every last drop into his mouth! Seriously, five stars isn’t enough! I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could! The service is impeccable, the ambience is beautiful, absolutely incredible food with plenty of parking right outside the door on a Friday night - what’s not to love! We found out after we dined that the chef is also the owner. Well I will tell you, it shows and don’t even think twice about coming to this restaurant as it’s fabulous! It’s a prefix three course menu for $79, but all night long additional courses kept coming out compliments of the chef. Well myself and my boyfriend want to compliment the Chef for getting everything 100% right! It is a wonderful restaurant for any special occasion - a wee bit pricey, but man do you get what you pay for! Fresh ingredients, homemade pastas and succulent sauces, I just can’t say enough about how good the food was! Myself and my boyfriend dine out a-lot and pay good money for meals that at the end of dinner will just look at each other and go,that was not worth it. This meal however was as good as it gets and worth every dollar. We will be back!

Have to give the chef Michael Cetrulo a standing ovation inputting together a mix of flavors and fresh ingredients to blast off and melt in your mouth. We had a flawless dining experience from beginning to end. The food and service were excellent. We had a unique and memorable dining experience like no other. The dining room has antique vaulted ceilings and candle lighting that creates a very cozy and romantic environment. Highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

As always a perfect evening. Price fixe for $79 was a great value. Sommelier selected an excellent wine to with our duck and veal chop entrees and pasta dishes. Service was friendly but professional. Tasteful old school decor. Just a great evening.

Drunk customers were screaming on the other side of the restaurant and the table next to us were rushing the server for their own meals that the severs lacked on our service. A short sweet dinner turned into a 2.5hr dinner.

A pleasure to eat at a restaurant for adults. Wonderful food (without which the rest would be meaningless), excellent service, beautiful room (the old Bouley, for those old enough to remember), nicely spaced tables. Yes, quite a splurge, but no regrets. I really appreciated that they had a few nice bottles on the wine list that didn't make me choke (not that $70 a bottle wine is inexpensive, but nowadays it's not shocking). Only constructive criticism is that the dish they call bucatini amatriciana, although very tasty, is very definitely not amatriciana. Just call it something else so that people don't have unmet expectations.

This is an exceptionally good restaurant. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and the wine selection is top-notch. In addition, the restaurant has a warm and welcoming ambience. One loud group was the only flaw in our dinner, which was otherwise perfect. I hope to enjoy this restaurant whenever I'm in New York.

We dined for the first time to celebrate two birthdays. The staff was kind, friendly, and very supportive as we chose our wine and dinner selections. The meal felt very special and was well-paced throughout the evening. The butternut squash agnolotti and the truffle ravioli as well as the onion focaccia were probably the best I've had. I loved the cheesecake; it was light and flavorful; not dense at all, and the decaf cappuccino was the perfect ending. Other diners in our group had the salmon and another fish entree, and both were beyond pleased. It was a memorable night out, and we will certainly keep this place in mind for a special dinner out in the future.
