About this business
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

Gay friendly Italian Food at its Best! – This restaurant is full of great ambiance with real comfort food. I've been doing some of the web design work for Tello, Trois Canards, and Casa Havana and find that the diners are always friendly, never rude and when I come in to visit the restaurant I am always greeted. These restaurants are real charmers.
Not customer friendly – Out of a better wine ( sangiovese) second choice montelpuciano $10. The entre Chicken Benedtto arrived after a long time,slightly charred.The price quoted for the Panna Cotta ...$7. The bill was totally incorrect. Billed for Sangiovese $11and the Panna Cotta $8. The billwas evetually corrected. One should be able to dine without having to worry about misquoted prices and inept waitstaff. I doubt if I will go back.
home away from home – We were a group of five from out of town.We had a reservation at six oclock,we stayed at the bar until we all arrived.The bar was busy and the bartender Ryan was great and cute.We had drinks and sat down at seven.We ordered different dishes to share.the waiter split alot of the dishes to make easier.the food was outstandingly good.the service,food and drinks are at its best.We will be back to Tello s when we come back to New York.
NEW LOCATION,BETTER – TELLOS MOVED FROM 19 STREET TO 8 AVE & 20 ST.THE PLACE IS ALOT BIGGER AND STILL COZY.THE BAR IS TWICE THE SIZE.WE WENT ON A TUESDAY NIGHT AND THE PLACE WAS HOPPING.WE HAD TO WAIT AT THE BAR.{NOT TO LONG} THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD.THE SERVICE WAS PRO.I WILL KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE.
Charming place but the food not as good as Mom's – Wine was not important to the dinner. Order vintage and get another, and the waiters neither know not care.
CHELSEA FAVORITE – I USE TO GO TO TELLO S WHEN IT WAS ON 19TH STREET.THEY NOW MOVED TO A NEW LARGER SPACE ON 8 AVE. AT 20 STREET.I WAS AFRAID IT WILL LOSE IT OLD WORLD CHARM BUT IT DID NOT.THE PLACE IS BIGGER AND BETTER.THE FOOD IS AS GREAT AS IT WAS BEFORE.THE MENU HAS CHANGED WITH A RAW BAR SELECTION AND A SALUMI AND FORMAGGI BOARD SELECTION.WINES BY THE GLASS ARE NOW OFFERED IN CARAFES AS WELL..ALONSO TELLO IS AT THE HELM COOKING UP A STORM.
brunch time – Brunch at Tello is one of the few things that gets me out of bed on a Saturday. The food is so so good and the staff is lovely.
BEST PASTA AND MEATBALLS IN TOWN! – I have never had a tastier italian meal in chelsea! The penne and meatballs were so good! The garlic bread was crispy and flavorful with out a huge smelly blast of garlic! I HIGHLY reccomend this place! its cute cozy and TASTY!
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?
