About this business

This fine Italian restaurant is located on the site of the former Bouley restaurant. The decor is elegant, the food marvelous and the service superior.

Main courses like grilled salmon, shrimp bruschetta, roasted Chilean sea bass and lamb chops parmigiano are customer favorites. The anjou pear and the chocolate cake are excellent choices for dessert. Jacket and tie require... read more

Great food, but got kicked out by waiter – The food is undoubtedly good. But the meal was ruined when, moments after paying the $400 check, our waiter asked if we could leave because "other patrons were waiting to sit down." It felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured on our table. We had been there for 2 hrs and 45 minutes, which is pretty typical for 3 people. When we asked to speak with the manager, the manager didn't apologize, he told us that other tables had been late, so they were backed up. Fine Dining? More l... read more

great customer service, small portioned food – Went there for a birthday tonight and we must say the customer service was impeccable; however, for a dinner that cost $230 (tip and tax included), we expected larger portions. We ordered the chicken and swordfish dish. The portion of the swordfish was extremely small and came with approximately 5-6 gnocchi spread around the dish . Further, the chicken dish states that it is served over pasta and that was hardly the case. A few pieces were just spread around the chicken as well.... read more

Worth the trip downtown and the money. – Great for special occasions. The chef/owner is extremely personable and makes his rounds reciting his recommendations. Throughout the meal we received several tastings compliments of the chef. We were surprised by how many options there were for a price fix menu. And at $65 this wasnt a bad deal. Everything we had was delicious. We left extremely full. The space itself is beautiful: vaulted ceilings, candle lit tables and velvety chair covers. Most tables are well spaced so you dont f... read more

one of the best... – I think this is the first time I have felt compelled to come on here and write a review. I don't know how I haven't been here before now. someone suggested it last night and I didn't know what they were talking about. I had never heard of the restaurant. but I looked it up and it looked great, so I made a reservation. sure enough, everything about last night was amazing. first of all, the number of choices on a prix fixe menu suprised me. probably the most I've seen. and even the things I don't like look... read more

Great place for a very special occasion. – I took my boyfriend here for his birthday dinner, and I definitely made the right pick. The service is probably the best I've ever had, and I've dined at a ton of five-star restaurants -- it's attentive without being overbearing and informative without seeming snooty. And then there's the food... it's really terrific... We were on cloud nine when we left. It's a perfect place for a romantic special occasion dinner. I would definitely go back.

best italian – Went for special evening and expected to pay extra, it was a little expensive but well worth it.The regular menu is a prix fixe so the food seemed to just keep coming.All the food was great and to finish they brought us these giant strawberries with cold zabaglione, after our dessert WOW!!!

Wonderful decor, mediocre food – The decor and lighting make the space feel intimate, fancy yet comfortable. It's the kind of place you want to take a loved one where you know the surroundings will make you feel like a special, intimate couple. But then the food comes out and negates the experience. I started with the spaghettini arrabiata and thought it simply mediocre. My main dish was the tuna, and that was an outright disappointment. The tuna itself was bland, and I thought that the sauces did not really complement the f... read more

Decent, but wouldn't go out of my way – At 6:15 we were the only people in the place. The wait staff was nice, bread was good, and appies were good as well. My filet which was supposed to be medium, was well done, but I know better than to send it back... Not to mention by that time it was an old age home, so this 30 something couple decided to call it a night. We try new places often, and don?t mind paying 200+ for a good night at a restaurant. In this case it was not money well spent.. Middle of the road.

Not exactly Italian – Scalini Fedeli was a very interesting restaurant. I seriously thought it was an Italian restaurant. It is actually a french with an italian influence. The maitre d was very obnoxious. We made reservations for four people, then called to add one more person and left a message. When we arrived he told us we should have called and spoken to a human, not left a message. He also said he did not have noise makers and hat for our extra person ( went on New Years Eve). The food was impressive. But as I said I t... read more
