We went in with 5 guests and no reservation. The wait was only going to be a short time but ended up taking a while longer than expected. The service was fantastic even while we waited for our table. Coffee and espresso was offered and served to us in the lounge area which made the time go by a bit faster. Our meals were fantastic and the staff didnt skip a beat on the service. I will definitely going back, I mean after all the restaurant and I do have the same name!

This was my first time dining at Felice, and I went without a reservation, but the staff was incredibly kind and didn’t make me wait long. I ordered the Ravioli della Casa and Burrata, and the food was absolutely delicious! The portions were quite generous, making it perfect for sharing. The atmosphere was so relaxed that after my meal, I felt a bit sleepy. I wished my hotel was nearby because I definitely plan to visit again. It certainly won’t be my last time there!

A friend recommended Felice 56 during our trip to NY for a weekend getaway for the holiday season. We had an incredible time! The food, cocktails, and wine list were awesome. Bianca, our server, did a perfect job and was very knowledgeable with the international wines on the wine list as well as the food, pairings, and of course the service. The ambience was comfortable and inviting, and the Christmas tree in the middle of the restaurant with the tall two-story ceiling made it extremely festive. We highly recommend Felice 56

Such a great place to enjoy a date night and very affordable which is amazing in New York! Super tasty food, drinks were on point and our server was from Italy so it made it that much more special. Definitely a must visit for NY!!

We were visiting NYC and chose Felice for our 22nd Anniversary dinner since it was fairly close to our hotel and not super expensive! The restaurant is very clean, beautifully decorated and very cozy! Great place for a romantic dinner.We ordered the calamari for our appetizer and it was ok. It included some fried vegetables but was missing a robust flavor and crispness that we are use to from our Dallas area fav Italian restaurants. Hubby had the grilled chicken, Lattuga e Pomodoro entree and it was also just ok. It was almost like a fancy Caesar salad with pickled onion. I think this dish needs some pasta or something else to make it more balanced. I ordered the Frutti di Mari which was pretty good. Shrimp and mussels seasoned very well! Sauce was tasty even though I didn’t care too much for the dei squid in the sauce but overall it was very flavorful. What I would definitely say is the staff was OVER THE TOP attentive, accommodating and welcoming! Almost everyone wished us a happy anniversary! We also received complimentary Champaign and dessert to celebrate our special day and will definitely return to try other menu items in the future.

Most amazing hidden gem in Midtown.The atmosphere is amazing, if feels like a fancy restaurant without being expensive at all.The service is superb, you are being taken care of all the time.Food was great! We shared bruschettas as an entree and then I had carbonara and my boyfriend had arrabiata. He also had a $19 glas of wine 🍷Total was $112 including taxes and tip!If you only have dinner e.g. pasta you would only spend $30 per person and the portions are big!

Celebrated milestones with friends here and glad we came here. The staff was amazing despite my reservation error. Mangesh, the manager, gracefully addressed the situation and offered an alternative table which worked out nicely.Food was amazing! I’ve tried Felice 15 first so I had the impression this would be just as good. The sommelier also recommended great wines. Desserts were divine!

Nice place with friendly staff. We came without a reservation for a very quick lunch. The food was fine—nothing extraordinary, but tasty. The portion sizes are just right, and the prices are too. All in all, we were satisfied.

Pleasant dim-lit ambience, attentive service, great pasta and drinks. I wish I had more time to enjoy my experience considering I was in a bit of a rush however this is the perfect place for some quiet, comforting dining with a mature crowd and homey vibe.

I’ve been to Felice 56 twice now and have had an excellent meal both times! The ambiance can’t be beat - the dining room has an elevated yet comfortable setting. Service is great and food is delicious. Will continue to come back each trip!

Review 12 (2024-09-27 - Rating: 4)
Carbonara was excellent, Arrabiattas tomato sauce was too acid. Beautiful establishment, very nice place, soft music and impecable service.

Review 13 (2024-05-03 - Rating: 5)
Service was fabulous! All staff members were courteous, professional and friendly from the moment you enter. Everyone was cheery and attentive. A special shoutout to Martin (our server). He was a sweetheart! Best service from this man. Food was extraordinary! Authentic Italian food (my favorite)! Drinks were crafted just right! Martin and staff members sang Happy Birthday to my sister. The manager also came to check on us! I had a party of 7 and we sat in the Lounge area which was fun! I liked the noise level - not too quiet and not too loud. The venue itself has 2 floors to separate the dining room from the bar area so this spot works for dates, events, casual hangouts, etc. Big spot in NYC!

This place is a great date night suggestion. The ambiance, service, quality are top notch. You should especially try their pasta, its to die for 😋

Review 15 (2024-07-21 - Rating: 5)
The food at Felice 56 is outstanding! We had the cacio pepe and the ravioli—both are the kind of food you dream of, like you’re in Italy! The gluten free pasta was tasty and perfectly cooked. Our server, Emily, was AMAZING and provided flawless recommendations for food and wine! Can’t wait to go back.

Great staff. Great ambiance. Food was good. Had a good time.

Review 17 (2023-03-15 - Rating: 5)
We ended up ordering most pastas on the menu, and u cant really go wrong with any tbh. From the fettuccine bolognese to the salmon rigatoni & carbonara, the sauce complements the ingredients and the texture of the pasta very wells. And the honey + fig ricotta toast is a MUST.

Review 18 (2024-09-09 - Rating: 4)
Dont be fooled by the exterior entry of this restaurant. We were led through the hallway and down a flight of stairs to an expansive dining room. The dining room is dimly lit (appropriate for dates and/or relaxing get-together with friends). We ordered an appetizer to share and pasta dishes. The special of the day was also enticing but we passed it up. Our server was friendly, helpful in recommending wine pairing and gave us time to enjoy a leisurely dinner.

The location is great! But the food is decent.

Review 20 (2024-09-21 - Rating: 4)
We went to this spectacular restaurant. Out of everything we ordered, the Bolognese pasta was the least impressive. It was good, but weve had better. The pistachio cake—do yourself a favor and order it—SPECTACULAR. Our waiter was a bit serious, but the person in charge of clearing the plates, a very pleasant Latin guy, was quite nice. Definitely a place to visit and enjoy a happy time with friends.

Review 21 (2023-11-16 - Rating: 5)
Loved the subterranean eatery. Great pasta and wine selection. The salmon and the salad at the table next to us also looked good. They cleaned the plate. I eat the entire plate of carbonara also!

Review 22 (2024-11-26 - Rating: 5)
Everything was absolutely perfect! We went without reservation and they found a table for us. The service was great, everybody was very polite and they took good care of us. The food is just amazing. We had the carbonara and the tagliata and also the burrata salad. But their menu has a lot more dishes and I’m sure those will be perfect as well. The brownie dessert completed the experience. Perfect! I would definitely visit again. Bravo!!!

Review 23 (2024-10-14 - Rating: 5)
I appreciated the clearly-marked vegetarian options on the menu. Loved all the dishes that I ordered - the arancini was the best of all I had before, the ricotta with honey and figs was so delicious, the pasta with salmon tasty, and the pistachio cake was super delicious, while the chocolate cake, even though tasted good, faded in comparison.The service of the whole team was hospitable, and the atmosphere calming. Definitely worth it to go more than once.

We did not have a reservation at Felice 56 and walked in at about 8:30pm on a Friday evening. The kind staff immediately sat us and worked with us to get the food and beverages out quickly within our time constraints. The space was absolutely beautiful with high ceilings and lovely decor, while still feeling intimate. Everything we ordered was delicious - don’t miss the arancini and ravioli - and our server Emily could not have been more accommodating and kind. A great option for anyone staying in a nearby hotel or in the area!

Review 25 (2022-01-18 - Rating: 5)
DELIGHTFUL late afternoon lunch after the MoMA. Everything we ate was fantastic. The wine and cocktails were utterly divine. I also very much appreciated that I was able to sample a wine before committing, and the waitress was very well versed on the selection and was able to discuss and recommend.We started with the artichokes and calamari. This was fun, as was the dip served on the side, but I didn’t love the style of breading and frying. It was almost gummy? But the flavors were great. For our meals we each chose a pasta dish, the cacio e pepe and the fusilli with tomato sauce and burrata. Be warned- they are quite small. For a 3pm lunch this was fine, but we were hungry by dinner. That aside, they were exceptional. Outstanding flavors and perfectly perfectly cooked pasta.My only regret is not getting dessert!This spot is fantastic for a nice meal, just a little very pricey, especially considering portions. If going for a late lunch like us, expect a little lapse in service. Our meal somehow took two hours, which isn’t ideal but we almost didn’t notice because the food and drinks were that good.

Review 26 (2024-10-15 - Rating: 5)
I was pleasantly surprised to find a coffee shop at the entrance—I didn’t realize the dining area was actually downstairs. Once inside, though, the restaurant is stunning, with soaring ceilings and a striking piece of wall art as the backdrop. The atmosphere is intimate and romantic, with dim lighting, candles, and soft conversations filling the room. As for the food, everything from the Brussels sprouts to the pasta, salmon, and tiramisu was spot-on. Perfect for a cozy date night. Highly recommend!

Very nice place. Waitress was amazing. I have a serve food allergy, and they were very careful with everything.

Review 28 (2020-03-03 - Rating: 4)
Tuscan restaurant with excellent food and a warm inviting ambiance. Had a late lunch here and enjoyed their plentiful Minestrone soup (it was a bit salty and overcooked, possibly because we went so late), salmon with chick pea puree (amazing, though Id prefer a bit less salt), and cacao noodles with short ribs ragu- all available with wine pairing. Fresh bread selection with ricotta and olive oil side was a nice change. Beautiful setting with a skylight, two trees and monumental two story tapestry was a nice change from most places. No room for dessert but their espresso was top notch. Great service, and well certainly be back!

Had dinner at Felice 56 while staying at the Park Lane for the week. Great ambiance and fantastic servers. Our waiter Ernesto was attentive and amiable. All of the other staff were very helpful also. We have two young children and it’s not always easy to eat out but we had a great experience here. It felt like everyone went out of their way to help us. We ordered the halibut, a classic carbonara, and the pesto gnocchi for dinner. The food was fantastic. Felice will be on our rotation when in NYC cheers!

Had the most delicious and wonderful brunch a few weeks ago. A very relaxed and beautiful atmosphere and the food was great! So happy we stumbled upon this place after a morning of shopping and we look forward to coming back soon!

Review 31 (2024-02-13 - Rating: 5)
I recently stopped by for a quick lunch before leaving the city, and the experience was anything but great. I opted for the carbonara and I did not regret it. The flavors were rich, and the creamy texture of the sauce was spot-on. The al dente pasta added a touch of authenticity, which might not be everyones preference but it contributed to the overall quality of the dish.My friend chose the ravioli, and she was pleased. The well-crafted pasta and the delightful filling made it a standout choice. Its clear that Feline takes pride in its pasta dishes.The restaurant’s atmosphere is a standout feature, characterized by high ceilings that lend a sense of spaciousness. The restaurant’s architectural design creates an open and airy feel, enhancing the overall dining experience.The staff were also great, they were attentive and they gave us very good suggestions!Definitely suggest checking it out!!

Atmosphere Excellent.Staff friendly.Food is delicious, but a bit pricey.Main gripe: The red wine was served chilled, instead of room temp. Impacted flavor.

Review 41 (2020-01-04 - Rating: 5)
Airy, open and lovely space for dinner, a change from the previous Momofuku restaurant that used to be here. It is as you would expect from the owners of Sant Ambroeus, as elegant as the cafes, but definitely less casual, though not stuffy. The staff were all attentive, friendly and helpful.You enter the Chamber Hotel side entrance and the restaurant has set up a separate dessert counter take-away as they have in the cafes.The Tuscan-inspired menu leads with plenty of flavor and quality, plenty of roasted vegetables and fish options. The branzino and salmon were both phenomenal and the whipped cod and carrot and cauliflower arrostos were delicious, albeit a little heavy handed with the olive oil on the cauliflower. The additional of hazelnuts and raisins was a really wonderful touch.We left completely satisfied but ended up picking up a principessa and chocolate mousse desert on our way out.

Beautiful restaurant with exceptional wait staff. The lighting was a tad bit dim but still a nice vibe. My friends and I tried different dishes, the lasagna, seafood pasta, and carbonara. All of the dishes were delicious, the pasta was freshly made and al dente.Only downside was the calamari appetizer was small and they included lots of random veggies so there was even less calamari. It was also a bit spicy which I didn’t mind but could offend others. Overall, this restaurant is on the higher end and recommend it for special occasions.

Visited for lunch and it was strange to see no one at the entrance but the restaurant is downstairs. The ambiance is perfect with high ceilings and art wall. The food took almost 30minutes to arrive, probably due to a large party arriving just before us. The arancini was delicious with perfect crust and sauce accompanied. The pasta was perfectly cooked, although a bit too saucy for my liking. Recommend this place 10/10

An oasis in the middle of Manhattan…I’m kinda hesitant to leave a review because this restaurant is a hidden gem right next to the crazy busy 5th Ave and would like it to stay that way. Been coming here for years, seen managers, waiters, sommeliers come and go - always kind and great service, food has been amazing since my first visit. It’s my Italian place to go. One of bubbliest a kindest person Emilia makes every time a memorable event with her personality. Please keep this as a secret and try the best chicken Milanese in town!

Felice 56 is my favorite restaurant in New York! I am always assured of a wonderful time and exceptional food whenever I visit. The ambiance is tranquil, the establishment is impeccably clean, and both the cuisine and service are outstanding. This place truly deserves a 5-star rating! And the Christmas tree in December… wow!!

Amazingly authentic Italian fare - close to Central Park and MoMA, so highly recommended for tourists, though I’m a New Yorker. The wonderful spaghetti alla putanesca transported me to Sicily, while Ariadna was the personification of hospitality.

The salmon salad was excellent. We eat at Felice all the time but this was our first visit to Felice 56 so we tried some stuff we don’t usually get - the linguine and the chicken both were disappointing but they let us substitute the bucatini which was extremely good. Bread could be better. The Felice wine is excellent despite being the restaurant label. Exceptional service and pleasant atmosphere. Our favorite Felice location is still Brooklyn Heights though with all the windows.

Wow! I didnt expect this place to be a fancy restaurant. I am very glad I came here. I ordered a hamburger and it was splendid, the pizza my brother had ordered was so crunchy and so good, not to mention that we were the only ones here! I guess we were just early. Besides, my mom got a FREE Tiramisu from a waitress Emily (she is a very nice person), because it was my moms birthday! I highly recommend coming here.

Review 67 (2023-11-05 - Rating: 4)
I enjoyed the food here, especially the appetizers.The meatballs were cooked very well and had a good crust. I think it was beef and lamb and it paired well together.The prosciutto and burrata was also awesome.My cacio e pepe was good but it’s an easy dish to be tasty. I think the noodles were too thick and it could have been a bit creamier.Excellent ambiance as well throughout the restaurant, I liked the decor.

This one of good Italian restaurant in NY, food and services were great, atmosphere is good, light and arrangement are excellent. Food was well and nicely done and grate, plate are at right portion. Service was excellent even we we’re seated at top level seats were very comfortable and our server did a good job in explaining all food and looked after us.

What an incredible dinner! Not only was it the best Sea Bass I ever had but my son insisted it was the best short-rib burger he’s ever had. Just a fantastic experience all around. The staff were incredibly attentive but not overbearing. Just right. In fact, the manager, Andres, came by a few times himself to make sure everything was perfect. The authentic Italian food and atmosphere were just what we needed after a hectic day in the city. The delicious house made Tiramisu was the perfect ending. It will be a regular stop for our city visits.

Love the atmosphere of this restaurant.The food and the service was okay but nothing impressed.We tried couples of cocktails and itwas great!We had steak, Lasagna,Fish and more.However the whole table and all guests needs to wait a while for the last fish order to come so we all could eat. That a minus.Lastly I think its a bit overpriced. Anyway we paid for Atmosphere and its 5th Ave.

Absolutely best experience there today from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Genuine hospitality, incredibly thoughtful and delicious food. The care taken for our special requests as if we dine here daily was exceptional. If there are any reviews that give less than 5 stars, there is something wrong with the person, not the restaurant. This place is solid. Gratzie Felice.Prego

Wow! We ordered delivery after a long day of walking and it was so worth it. 🫶 Highly recommend the pasta with burrata and the cicorie with grilled chicken. So delicious!! Everything was packaged with care and the presentation was beautiful. This meal made us very ‘felice’ indeed. 😊 Thank you! ❤️

The restaurant is downstairs and the ambiance is intimate and elegant. The preparation of the dishes is done with beautiful flair and the service is very attentive. We loved the pesto sauce on one of the pasta dishes, and the traditional lasagna was excellent as were the Brussels sprouts side. The pistachio cake and the pistachio sorbet were magnificent truly

We are a fan of Felice at 71st and Columbus, and when we couldnt get in one night, we discovered this location when searching for places nearby. It is in a hotel, the Chambers on West 56th near Fifth, and is in a double height space on the lower level.First thing I have to say is how elegant the design is: upscale without being precious. Also, acoustics are incredible. There were people all around us, and we didnt have to shout.Finally, the main reason we came was the food and service. Menu items are similar if not the same, but everything seems new when you try it in a new environment.Take a chance. It is quite lovely. And the service is great.

Wow!!! What a restaurant. The branzino and watermelon special was amazing, shout out to our server for the recommendations. All of the staff was really helpful and I would come back. One highlight was the fact that they brought us a free dessert as it was my friends birthday. We didn’t even ask! Special thanks to Amelia/Emily, she was fantastic.

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It felt like I was transported into a different world. I can’t to celebrate my birthday and the staff did an amazing job at making my party feel attended to. The food was okay, but I do feel like you go more for the restaurant and less for the actual food.I wish I took the name of our server but she was blonde and worked 8/9 and I just want to thank her so much!

My business partner and I are currently staying at the hotel connected to this restaurant. As everyone knows there’s 50 restaurants within a mile radius of any location in New York and yet we have chosen to come here every night we’ve been in town, specifically because of the IMPECCABLE service from their bartender Manolo. He makes arguably the best espresso martini in the city and makes a conscious effort to make all his bar guests feel welcome. He’s made great food and drink suggestions and truly been the highlight of our trip. Additionally, Mangesh, their general manager has taken incredible care of us and I’ve noticed that he treats his employees with the same respect that he does his guests which is huge in my book. This is now a NY staple of mine due not just to the service but the quality of food and drinks. 10/10 all around.

Review 102 (2020-02-04 - Rating: 5)
Authentic Italian food. Price was good for the city and food was well worth the money. Wine pairing were excellent and interior was beautiful. Service was good but food was better. I would definitely go again for Italian food

Review 103 (2023-05-02 - Rating: 5)
Having lived in Italy on three separate occasions, I am happy to say that this is one of only a handful of Stateside restaurants that Ive experienced a commitment to simple, clean, and unbelievably fresh Tuscan food and ingredients.Everyone from the hosts, through the bar staff, to the server were welcoming and accommodating.Dare I say, cleanest baked melanzane ever and a lasagna second only to true spots in Florence. Add good wine selection and Vin Santo w/ Cantucci (what a find), and I experienced a great Tuscan food experience. Well done!

Good food and good service. The place is actually not that small.

Review 110 (2021-04-13 - Rating: 5)
When you go to Greece, Italy or Spain, you can literally taste the difference in the olive oil and tomatoes. They’re just so much better (I think it’s the Mediterranean water) which makes every meal so much more of an experience. Felice captures that experience. The olive oil is insanely delicious (don’t sleep on the bread and oil to start with), the burrata is so creamy, don’t get me started on the tiramisu- such authentic flavors across the board. You can tell they pick out all of their ingredients with higher standards than most and that the food is made with sincere respect to it’s origins. On top of that, their packaging is so thoughtful and environmentally friendly. 100% going back regularly and will probably gift bottles of the olive oil to friends and family around the holidays.

Review 112 (2020-02-27 - Rating: 5)
Wow...this is a great find! We continue to enjoy the finest of Italian restaurants around the world, and the Felice 56 team should be added to that list. On our recent visit, their top waiter -- Federico from Rome, Italy -- took care of us in a truly memorable and masterful fashion. Ask for Federico to experience their best when you place your reservation. I cannot recommend them and the attentive assistance of Federico more highly than I do.

Review 113 (2024-01-06 - Rating: 5)
Good it fantastic, well prepared and plated. Italian comfort food with small twists. Some of the most attentive staff. The restaurant is not too big or too small. Atmosphere and decor are very enjoyable and tasteful. Well done.

Review 114 (2022-02-05 - Rating: 5)
Felice 56 is a truly authentic Tuscan experience from its dishes, wine selections to service ❤️😍🤩 Trying out the 2022 NYC Restaurant Week menu, my friends and I were impressed by all the plates and drinks. The appetizer - Cozze Al Pomodoro (mussels, white wine, tomato sauce, parsley) and the main dish - Artisanal fresh Fulsilli with San Marzano tomato sauce, creamy burrata cheese, and basil were so tasty. The pricing is not unreasonable for this degree of sophistication and fine cuisine. Another highlight is the attentive and hospitality of the service. We got an enjoyable meal on a laidback Friday. I’d definitely revisit this place with my family and friends!

Took my mum for an impromptu dinner to Felice 56, and Im so glad we went! From the phone call to the restaurant, to carrying out our dessert (which was graciously offered on the house!), Andre was an exceptional, polite and attentive maitre d/manager. The restaurant has a lovely, classy vibe and great branding to complement. Please be patient with this location as there were only three servers running the food, bar, tables and online orders. Id recommend trying the Crostone Ricotta as an appetiser -- Andre and my mum ending up talking about the figs in her garden!

We were in NYC on business and ordered Felice for delivery. The ordering process was simple and delivery was quick. The packaging was very appealing not your typical styrofoam or plastic containers. The food was so delicious we ordered the salmon pasta and the portion size was more than enough for the price. We can’t wait to come back to the city and dine at Felice.

We went to this restaurant on a whim after shopping and it exceeded our expectations. We ordered two specials, the halibut and the pistachio pesto pasta upon the recommendation of our amazing server, Ernesto, and it was delicious. My boyfriend who doesn’t like veggies was scraping vegetables off the plate! The halibut was one of the most fresh fish dishes we’ve ever had that’s not on an island. EXQUISITE!

A couple friends and I made a last minute reservation after attending an event in Central Park. Craving Italian, we chose Felice on a whim, and to say they exceeded our highest expectations would be an understatement. The food was delectable with care and consideration for each dish. A dimly lit and homey atmosphere, coupled with exceptional service put Felice high on my list of go to restaurants in NYC. I would be remiss not to highlight the most delightful part of our experience was Emily, our waitress. Her warm and affectionate demeanor was welcoming and professional, and is an exceptional part of their staff. She was attentive and considerate of all our needs, and took the time to speak with her customers in a compassionate manner. I was able to observe 2 gentlemen sitting adjacent to us who chatted with her and saw that she is just a genuine and kind person. Emily made our night and is one of the key reasons I will be returning here and recommending to all of my friends and family. Thank you so much Emily, for caring for us and making our experience so pleasant.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Felice where Ernesto was our server, and I must say, his service was exceptional. Ernesto went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was perfect, attending to every detail with genuine care and professionalism. The food was equally impressive, with each dish crafted to perfection and bursting with delightful flavors. From the fresh, high-quality ingredients to the beautiful presentation, every aspect of the meal was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant not only for its exquisite cuisine but also for the remarkable service provided by Ernesto.

Took a last minute trip to NYC and was looking for a fabulous place for dinner. Felice 56 was the perfect choice! The menu had a lot of classic options. We opted for arancini and charcuterie for appetizers, a caprese salad and carbonara for mains, and 2 desserts, the delizia al limone and the Torta Cioccolato E Nocciola. Both were divine! We had amazing service from Emilia!! She had a great personality, was attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The manager, Nunzio (sp?), was fabulous! Can’t wait to come back to NYC just to go here again!
