Good Food, not great scene 5 Star Rating - World class

By beastmonster

The food was spectacular - we started with beef carpaccio (nicely presented, with delicious mushrooms and cheese) had then had cheese ravioli and the chicken/sausage dish, both of which were balanced and healthy in proportion. Desert was tiramisu and some kind of banana chocolate cake. Perhaps the best part of dinner was the wine - a red for $35-40 which was spicy and pleasant on the palate.

The average age of the clientelle was 50+, which was a pleasant surprise! We were looking for a normal quiet dinner at 10pm (made an open table resi at 9) with good food, so this worked out well - not a loud environment, and we could actually have a decent conversation. The service was very attentive, they filled the water very quickly (a problem at many NYC restaurants) and dinner for 2 ran us a reasonable $120 including 3 courses and a bottle of wine.

Pros: Food, Service, not crowded, on opentable, very quiet
Cons: Very Quiet

Really liked Scaletta. From our salads to our pasta dishes to the homemade desserts, Scaletta was spot on throughout. We liked the wine selections as well and the waitstaff was very helpful and attentive.

Pros: Food, Service, Wine

Avoid it 1 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By matinquinait

We should leave after we looked at the menu- it is full of misspellings !
But unfortunately we didn't ...
Bad food, bad service, bad prices -very expensive.
It was a Friday raining evening and the restaurant was almost empty, not a good sign. But since we had a reservation, we tried to use our sense of humor and we did need a lot .

Don't go, better to eat a slice of pizza somewhere else.

Pros: nothing
Cons: everything

great value, great service, brilliant place 4 Star Rating - Very good

By lizshotter619fsnetcou

i went here to celebrate my birthday with my sister in law and loved the place as soon as we walked through the door, a lovely smell of oranges and cinnamon hits you, a great detail. we were seated immediately and had plate after plate of amazing food brought to us over the space of an hour and a half. we didn't feel rushed or intimidated by the staff and they were pleased to answer all our questions about each dish. not much room for personal space would be my only problem, us brits are used to a lot of space in our restaurants so it was strange bumping arms with the man next to me who didn't seem to impressed! great value overall just 60 pounds for a five course meal with a small box of chocolates given as we left which was a great touch

Pros: relaxed environment, great food, great service
Cons: bit cramped, fellow diners
