Tello - what a find! Lit with candles and chandeliers, this cozy place has such a wonderful old-world feel that you may think you've walked onto the set of a Martin Scorsese film. A helpful staff serves up hefty portions (light on price) of well prepared Italian fare. Pasta is cooked al dente every time and the seafood is plentiful and fresh

yummmyy – Great atmosphere and fine food and drinks. Their dishes are entertaining to your eyes and mouth. I just feel good to be there and eat! Just, don't make us wait too long, please?
Cozy & Yummy – My husband & I chose to eat at Tello on a cold November night, after leaving a nearby movie theater. Hungry, cold & in need of a hot meal & a good drink, we were immediately drawn to Tello's inviting warmth & cozy atmosphere. As an Italian-American, I have a discerning palate when it comes to Italian food & I am happy to say that Tello measured up. Our dishes - Linguine Di Mare & Chicken Tello - were terrific. The Italian bread was crusty, soft & fresh, albeit accompanied by rock-hard, cold butter. Wines by th... read more
Too cramped for large groups – The food here is very good with ok sized portions, and not what I've grown to expect from Italian restaurants (I don't remember seeing manacotti or lasagna on the menu). The people I dined with all enjoyed their meals, and I LOVED their chocolate mousse. I chose this restaurant as the location for my birthday dinner after reading many glowing reviews on the location. I booked a table for 12 for a 7:30 dinner on a Saturday night. I was dissappointed to see that we were seated as 2 tables of 6. I... read more
Affordable, tasty Italian. – This is my favorite neighborhood Italian. We bring friends and out-of-towners here regularly. My partner's brother-in-law practically swooned over his meal. They do a mean penne and meatballs in a delicious, velvety ragout that I have a hard time resisting. The place can get cramped when it's full, but the food's worth it.
Good food. Slow Booze. – Super "chelsea". I didn't fit in. The prices were reasonable for Manhattan. The food was pretty good, the service was OK - but the all-male scenery was very difficult for me to digest. I'm sure it had a negative influence on my experience. My 2c.
Great Food, Amazing Service, There to Please! – This is the FIRST review I have given on a restaurant but had to make note of my experience at Tello?s! This was an example of amazing service and care. I made last minute reservations at Tello tonight (a Monday) for a group of friends before going to see a 7pm show nearby at the Metropolitan. A friend from out of town had done some research on local restaurants to the theatre and Tello?s website, menu and online reviews looked good so this was the spot we settled on. We had 5:... read more
Simply Great – Great and inexpensiveitalian restaurant. Food is always great, very courteous wait staff. I am a huge fan of seafood and fish and their Salmon dish is very delicious. I brought many people to the restaurant and every time we had great experience. It is pretty popular, judging by the fact that all the tables are always taken.
Delicious and reasonably priced – I went with a co-worker for lunch and had a great meal. We both had salmon with a side of vegetables. It was fresh and cooked perfectly. They served fresh rolls to start the meal. It was very reasonably priced and the service was attentive. Highly recommended
