    The service and meal was outstanding! The only issue we had was that there were one or two tables where the patrons were too loud! Most, like myself wore dinner jackets, others like the louder tables in shorts and sneakers. Matrade was very apologetic for the loud tables.

    This restaurant maintains a level of class with exceptional ambience and service to match. We received a wonderful recommended bottle of wine within our budget which was perfectly timed with chef inspired small bite starters. The prix fixed menu with numerous creative pasta options and meat and fish choices, made it difficult to choose from. The Pork Chop was perfectly cooked and the pasta was particularly delicious with just the right amount of sauce. Somehow, Nick and his professional staff continue to make this older establishment one of NYC's finest. Scalini Fedeli is a unique and quality experience from start to finish.

    The service at Scalini Fedeli is superb. The culture they have cultivated is unmatched. The food is amazing and the way the courses are presented is unique. The chocolate raspberry tart is a must try. We’ll definitely dine there again.

    Well when you count all the extra dishes it was an 8 course meal. Wine, Onion bread, smoked salmon, fried eggplant, breaded shrimp in pink sauce, pasta appetizer, and pork chop for me. Veal for my wife coconut and sherbet to clear The palate, tiramisu desert and cupacino all for a price fixed diner. Everything was delicious the service was top notch. 5 star all the way.
