We found Felice by chance on our last day in NYC mid-afternoon. From the first second we felt like in Italy. The Spaghetti Vongole with Oil and Garlic were just delicious as all our other meals. The Tiramisu is homemade and real Italian style, light as air, not the heavy American style. Absolut top and very attentive service. We enjoyed and recommend this location for locals and for tourists.
We had an amazing dinner at Felice 56. We’ve been to a few of the other Felice locations and always enjoyed them, but this one felt noticeably more elevated. The food was just as delicious as always, but the service here really set the experience apart. Our waiter went above and beyond. He was incredibly knowledgeable about both the menu and the wine list, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great night. His recommendations were spot on, and the little extra steps h
Really enjoyed brunch with family, including our infant who sat on a high chair. The ricotta appetizer and pistachio almond cake were soooo good that I want them again already. 😁 Highly recommend. All employees and the manager were super friendly and kind, and the atmosphere was excellent as well. Not too serious and not too casual. Hope to return in the near future! *I am not good at taking photos at all but hey, they are realistic. Lol I had to capture them bc of how much I enjoyed them!
