Fanelli Cafe

- New York, NY
About this business
This is a simple, down-to-earth old-style bar that serves decent food amidst all the trendiness in Soho. There has been a bar in this space since 1847, and Fanelli's manages to exude the kind of unpretentious confidence that a place only garners with age. The food includes pub staples such as burgers, chili and fries. Sometimes it can be difficult to grab a seat, whether you are at the bar or wish to sit down, however the ambiance of Old New York is worth the wait.

Poor Service, Inedible Food – I have been here a few times, for overpriced, small glasses of wine, in the crowded, underheated interior, and some decent lunches. They don't cook a Croque Monsieur properly, and the fries are hit and miss. But after my last visit, I will never go back. After waiting close to an hour during the workday for a salmon sandwich, it was uncooked--raw in the middle, not safe to eat. And this was not the first time that I had been there and someone at the table was served undercooked meat (in that cas... read more
Employees are rude and thieves – Went here late at night on 1/13/09 and sat in back room by the kitchen. It was cold and snowing that night and I took off my gloves and put them on the table where they remained throughout my meal. I left without taking them and didn't realize they were gone until I started down the street. When I went back to my table less than 5 minutes later my gloves were gone...and out table hadn't even been cleared yet. When I inquired with the waitress and hostess they were incredibly rude to me. I am ... read more
HIstorical Village Bar with Good Food and Service – Well folks, here we have a real New York legend. Fanelli's has been around since SOHO was inhabited by artists -- not the ultra-rich or the kitsch. To go to Fanelli's is to go expecting an experience as well as good, decent food. Do not go with an attitude or looking for haute cuisine. Firstly, the staff is replete with a good, solid sense of neighborhood and customer service. The matire'd is excellent and even in the throes of a large crowd, she is in control and treats ev... read more
classic Old New York pub – I've been here dozens of times, but I don't recall ever ordering anything besides a burger. So I can't speak on the other menu items, but the burgers are decent and so are the fries. This place feels more like a bar that serves food (as opposed to feeling like a regular restaurant), so don't expect haute cuisine and you probably won't be disappointed. It's casual, friendly, and inexpensive -- one of the few such places in SoHo. So many bars play really loud music, making it impossible to talk to yo... read more
dont eat dinner here – the bar is nice, food is not. eat burger and sandwiches, dont eat the chicken or the pasta. its awful.
Great food, great beer, wow waitresses, a bit too cramped – This is one of our 3 favorite bars in New York. The big crowds and cramped spaces prevents it from reaching the number one spot. But still, it's a great place. A friendly crowd, nice-looking waitresses, (including the goddess, Ellen), and an old New York atmosphere makes this a relaxing and fun place despite the apparent madhouse. It's also one of the few places you can get Taddy Porter.. a great beer that's a bit sweeter than Guinness, but just as satisfying. --Dri... read more
Food good/service bad – This is an old time bar/restaurant in Soho similar to the White Horse Tavern in the West Village or Walker's in Tribeca. The food is good and reasonably priced as is the beer ($4.50 for a bottle of Coors Light), however the service that we received from bartender left something to be desired. He was more interested in carrying on a conversation with his chums that it took a while to get his attention. There's nothing wrong with taking care of your regulars, however if you're trying to attract new clie... read more
