We had our son’s rehearsal dinner here. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious. They created a personal menu for our dinner, which was appreciated. They even had a special kids menu for the little ones. We had reserved the lounge space downstairs. The space was perfect for our group of 35.

Highly recommend. You will walk off the New York street straight into Italy. The carbonara is incredible. 3 of my party had it and everyone said it was just as good as when we were in Italy. The noodles were thick and tasty. I had the lasagna and it was super light and flavorful. Usually lasagna feels so heavy. The vibe was great, we throughly enjoyed it. Definitely recommend.

I recently had lunch at Felice and it was a delightful experience. I ordered the pollo lattuga pomodoro and a Bianco cocktail, both of which were very tasty. The flavors were authentic and reminiscent of Italian cuisine. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was excellent. Felice has multiple locations throughout the city, making it a convenient choice for a delicious meal. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

A decent staple in the neighborhood for pasta craving. Service was decent though we had to flag down staffs a few times to get what we need. Considering we came on a beautiful Friday peak dinner time, this is understandable. There were some confusion where my friend state that she’s vegan but was recommended and brought a vegetarian dish though they quickly clear the plate away and brought her something else. Overall, this restaurant have potential - would come back to give this place a second try!

Well executed hospitality in an elegant and cozy space. The classic New York-Italian menu is well curated and their dinner specials are worth trying. The ambiance is neighborhood-y and the service is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend their grilled fish, the chicken liver mousse crostini and their charcuterie plate for share. The pastas are fresh, well portioned and flavored. The tiramisu is pricey but delicious!

Absolutely amazing experience! Michael, the NEW manager, is phenomenal. I couldnt ask for better! We had our post engagement dinner there, we had a large group of people, +10, and Michael made sure it was a fantastic dinner! We had great service (super fast and friendly) and delicious food, there was a great atmosphere, and overall, it was the best place to host a large group of people. I highly recommend Felice 71 - Columbus, as well as their manager and staff!!

Very sophisticated little restaurant with inside and outside seating. I had an amazing gin based cocktail. I also had the bruschetta and Chicken Pomodoro. All was extremely tasty. My friend ordered the mussels and they were the best Ive ever tasted. Would recommend!!

We came to the Upper West Side location last week, and we really enjoyed it.We started with the fried calamari with artichokes appetizer; so good. Then we shared the linguine bolognese and the tonnarelli cacio e pepe; both pastas were delicious.We finished with the excellent tiramisu and a latte. Everything was super nice, the food was very tasty, service was on point, all of it. 100% recommended.

A/C was amazing! Eomantic Bahama themed tables, jazz music and very kind servers. Highly recommend. Beautiful long bar in case you dont have a reservation

Felice was great! We all enjoyed trying different t selections of the Negroni bar. The side dishes were actually the tastiest part of the entire meal but entrees were really good too. Surprisingly, the burger stood out as one of the best orders that night.The service started slow but our waitresses switched and our 2nd waitress was awesome and very attentive.Save for dessert, tiramisu was tasty!

Review 11 (2023-12-31 - Rating: 4)
The food is always good, service was way better than before. I used to like to go here as my cute neighborhood date spot but the last time I visited for Christmas, the service was noticeably worse, it wasn’t even a busy night. Our waitress didnt even ask or look at our glass half filled with Pellegrino Sparkling water and just filled it up with tap water and walked away (while talking to another waiter!) I was shocked at how careless it was. She came to ask how the cake we ordered was for dessert without even looking (again), and we told her that we hadnt received the dessert yet! Its so hard to tip 20% for service like this, but its not all about her and I hope it was just a bad day.

The food, the service, the interior design and ambiance; everything was excellent. Look forward to going back and trying more items on the menu :)The $28 lunch menu is great. You get an entree and a main. I had the bruschetta to start and it was amazing! And the mains are full sized, so altogether it’s a lot of food!

The owner is very lucky to have a careful and hardworking manager. I sat at the bar, and it was so enjoyable.✔️

Have eaten here many times - about a year ago it had gotten bad though so avoided it for a year. Recently went back though and had an amazing meal! The branzino is just incredible, so is the rigatoni with salmon in cream sauce. Service and atmosphere are excellent.

We had a lovely time at Felice. Their pastas cooked well with nice flavors and were a good portions as well. We had the carbonara, ravioli and salmon pasta which were excellent. I loved the ravioli with ricotta cheese in sage butter because it was light and delicious. The carbonara had a mouth watering taste as well. The tiramisu is delicate with a subtle and enjoyable flavor. One of my favorites. The service was excellent as well. We were able to sit at the bar and the people who took care of us were very kind. We will definitely be back soon!

Had an amazing time with my good friend here. I’ve been planning to come here for dinner for a while and I finally made it and it was just what I expected. My negroni was perfect, and my friend love the wine. I had the Zuppa which was ok, but the Branzino was delish, we enjoyed all our food and we couldn’t make it to desert. Our waiter was excellent and very polite.

Great experience. Very chilled Italian chain restaurant that always delivers. So far I havent had any bad experiences in any Felice restaurant.Its great for family or friends that want to spend time together and chat, without feeling rushed or pressured to leave.(If you are in rush. Ensure you tell the waiter in advance so you can get your bill!).We were planning to get dessert but the waiter didnt show up quickly enough so we ended up skip it (probably a good thing).

Review 18 (2022-06-14 - Rating: 5)
Had it few times. Very nicely executed solid food. Packaging is pretty good too. However, please use some other take out container for the saucy pasta. It always kinda leaked. Thank you.

It’s a good location and good food to tourist like me! Very close to Strawberry Fields in Central Park.The food and wine were outstanding, and the waiter Ruben and other staff were welcoming and friendly, I asked about the information about food and wine, they are knowledgeable too.I will come back here again if I visit NY next time!

The food was very good and the service was great. I came with a party of 6 and we were seated very quickly. They have a great selection of wine as well. If you do end up going, get the bruschetta. The tomatoes were amazing.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Felice Columbus and they left quite the impression on me.As a dedicated food enthusiast I must say the food at Felice was nothing short of extraordinary. The fresh ingredients and meticulous preparation were evident in every bite. Our servers recommendations were spot on, guiding us to dishes that not only delighted our palates but also introduced us to new and exciting flavors.What truly elevated the evening was the exceptional service, led by the manager, Adrian. His attentive nature was instrumental in making our dining experience unforgettable. His passion for hospitality was palpable, making us feel genuinely welcome and valued.In summary, my visit to Felice in Columbus was a delightful. Adrian and his team have created a haven for food lovers, and I look forward to many more visits. Highly recommended!

Came for the pastas, stayed for the honey ricotta crostini! Ricotta crostone is melts in my mouth! Perfect sweet, savory combo.

5/28/22: Cute, pleasant interior and great staff. Had the Pappardelle con Salsiccia (sweet Italian sausage, braised endive, porcini mushrooms, herbs, truffle sauce). The sauce was good but the noodle was undersalted and overcooked. I wouldnt order it again.

We stopped for lunch and we really enjoy our food, they can also accommodate Gluten Free. The service was attentive and friendly. We’ll be back!

Awesome Italian joint.... Good food, great ambience, and courteous staff. Its a bit on the expensive side, but totally worth it.

Review 27 (2021-10-26 - Rating: 4)
We just popped in for a couple macchiatos and some dessert. Let’s renormalize popping into restaurants for dessert and espresso? Ok?The real kicker for Felice Columbus is going to be the ambiance.Did the moody rain influence me? Yes. But also the not-too-low lighting and tea light candles.Every table was taken yet this restaurant had a way of preserving the intimate feel while maintaining a moderate noise level.Highlights: they have a Negroni bar— how fun??The Torta Al Cioccolato [basically a lava cake] is gluten free and the perfect size.Street views from eye level windows and large sliding doors that provides a front row seat to the rest of the west side [the best side].

This was truly a wonderful experience. Our waiter, Paxton, was what truly made this occasion special - he’s AWESOME. Along with Denisa who kept us belly laughing all night. Our appetizers were great. Our entrees were exceptional. And the cocktails were absolutely stellar. And, the service provided truly was one of a kind. I will return time and time again.

We had a wonderful experience tonight at Felice. Adrian and his staff went above and beyond to meet our every request. The food and drinks were exceptional. Service and hospitality at this level is rarely seen anymore. The heart and soul poured in this establishment is truly special. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

A classic spot for very good food. Had their fish special, prompted by the server, which was delicious. Great cocktails. Lovely blend of buzzy crowd and low-lit intimacy. Hope to make this a regular haunt.

One of the best Carbonara spots in town 🔥. Also everyone was super polite and friendly at the Columbus location. Thanks all!

Id been here before. My friends had not. 2 New Yorkers plus 1 former New Yorker visiting from... Florida! (😲🤢 I know...). It may seem pricey for Italian/pasta, but its TOTALLY worth it. Decor, impeccable. Ambiance, delightful. Food, beyond delicious with generous portions. But our evening was made perfect by our bartender/server Andrea. She endured mishaps no server should, and bounced back with humor and grace. GO HERE. You wont be disappointed.

Review 42 (2024-07-09 - Rating: 5)
Felice 71 did a fantastic job hosting the Fly me to the Moon premier pre-gather. The pasta was a highlight - wonderfully done! Staff took amazing care of us - beautifully put together!

Popped in for a late lunch on a very rainy Saturday and sat at the bar. The vibe was super chill and I loved the music they were playing. The bar is very easy on the eyes. I wanted the food to be better though. I had a glass of red and the pizzette. The sauce was full of flavor but the crust killed the vibe…flavorless, crumbly and unfortunately undesirable. I would give it a second chance though. Just don’t get the pizzette.

Review 44 (2024-03-10 - Rating: 5)
Anatella was our waitress last night. We were outside and she was coming back and forth in the POURING rain with a true smile and good nature. It would have been so easy and understandable for her to be miserable but she was awesome. Thank you!

We visited on a Saturday evening, and the place was completely booked so they let us use the downstairs lounge area which had a bar. It was actually very serene downstairs and the bartender (Sunny) was absolutely awesome. I enjoyed everything I tried, from the spinach to the cacio e pepe

Fantastic server and food at this restaurant. Great addition to the UpperWest side. Our server, Brian, was wonderful. He suggested a delicious wine, not trying to oversell us. The food was excellent. We ordered several appetizers and side dishes so wed have a good sampling. Pizza, meatballs ,veggies were excellent. Also, they were great about seating us where we wanted to sit under a heat lamp!

Best carbonara Ive had since Rome. The food here is authentic and delicious, with great variety on the menu. The waiters were very kind and helpful, and I didnt feel rushed. They have lots of outdoor seating, in a nice area to enjoy the weather and people watch. Will definitely be coming back here again.

While I have eaten at a few of the Felice restaurants ,I really enjoyed our first dining experience at Felice 71 on Columbus Avenue.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Felice. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a terrific bar. The service and the food were excellent. We both had the Crostone Con Avocado along with a Bloody Mary for brunch and it was delicious. Highly recommend. If we lived in NYC, Felice would be our “go to” neighborhood restaurant!

Great food great service! we didn’t have rezzies but we showed up right before dinner rush and they were sweet and accommodating. we sat outside and enjoyed the view. recommend the ricotta toast, the lasagna and the arrabiata.

Came on a Friday afternoon- was just walking by looking for a place to eat and we decided to stop here. It already seemed to have a lively crowd. The wait staff was friendly, engaging, and chatty. We sat outside and the space was clean, organized and cozy. We had the bruschetta and veal meatballs for an appetizer. The bruschetta was ok. The meatballs were very good - the veal was not over seasoned and the sauce was not too sweet or acidic. Had a couple of espressos which were very good. The house olive oil has a nice nutty and buttery flavor when tasted alone with the bread. The salmone was cooked perfectly, I did ask for the steak medium rare and it was a bit overcooked but still tender and juicy. I would definitely return - the dishes are also priced reasonably and you should feel you are getting your money’s worth.

Service was incredible. The atmosphere of the place was very nice and the food amazing. We ordered pasta carbonara - perfectly cooked “al dente” and the sauce flavorful- and pasta a la vongole which was delicious. Good selection of wines!

Review 69 (2023-03-08 - Rating: 4)
Food was tasty, presentation is good. We had a large party so had the preset menu with choice of entree and dessert. 4 different starters, arugula salad, aracini, eggplant, and salmon tartare. Favorite was the tartare, lightly dressed in oil with fresh avocado and capers. I had the fettuccine Bolognese, other choices were NY strip, chicken Milanese, and Salmon. Dessert was tiramisu-pretty solid. Cream and cake were light. Or you could choose gelato.

The meal here on my first night in NY was a real highlight of my trip. Excellent service from arrival, and although seated outside as restaurant was full, we were very well looked after. I thought the food was superb, but more importantly the warm welcome was genuine, and made for a great start to my holiday. I can’t wait to return. Thank you.

Review 76 (2022-11-27 - Rating: 5)
Update: Yep, my favorite restaurant on the Upper West Side. Cozy, festive, convivial ambiance (great for Christmastime) and superb food. Prices increased but they have everywhere. The pasta is very, very good and also very generously portioned. Ricotta crostini is also delightful as always. (I’ve gotten it every single time I’ve dined at a Felice.)Original review (December 2021): An awesome experience overall. I would highly recommend Felice Columbus to anyone interested in authentic Italian (specifically Tuscan food) and a bustling, cozy family-friendly atmosphere.I came in with my family on a December Saturday at 6:30pm—the restaurant was packed! Even though it was super busy, we were warmly greeted at the door by Elvis, the maitred or floor manager (I think), and chatted about Italy for a few minutes before being seated (we had a reservation). The service was prompt and the food was fantastic — the crostone ricotta (a lightly sweet appetizer that could even be dessert), lasagna, and fettucine alla bolognese in particular were absolutely delicious. All the pastas are good (we tried 4 of them), silky, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The only negative thing I can comment on are the brussels sprouts, which got soggy quickly because they were served in a mini bowl rather than a plate. But generally, it seems like you cant go wrong with any order, appetizer or entree.And Elvis kept coming to check on us and was very kind. He made us feel very welcome. We will be coming back often! Thank you Felice for a wonderful Saturday night!Update January 2021: Came here with friends, sat in a private outside cabin, and thoroughly enjoyed the spaghetti alla carbonara. So good. Thick (I love spaghetti that is a little wider than store bought), al dente chewy, creamy, flavorful. Cacio e pepe excellent too.

Fantastic for date night! Cozy spot where we enjoyed a tasty pasta dinner, delicious bruschetta, a nice wine selection, and a wonderful take on tiramisu. Friendly service too. We had dinner at the bar and had a great time, but try to make a reservation if you want a table. We will be back!

This was our fifth visit to Felice Columbus, since their opening in August, and they don’t disappoint. From the welcome by James, who is always professional and polite, to the knowledge and recommendations of our waiter Brian, to the fabulous food that the kitchen prepares, we had another wonderful meal!Brian was very attentive and took great care of us. His wine knowledge is impressive, he made a great recommendation that paired perfectly with our meal and didn’t break the bank. We started with the Carciofi e Calamari Fritti, which is always great. For the main dishes we had the Chicken Milanese and the Branzino Al Cartoccio, both were delicious.Most importantly, don’t leave without trying the Tortino di Gianduia (Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake) and the Tiramisù.Felice Columbus is a lovely addition to the Upper West Side restaurant scene, bringing together the trifecta of delicious food, excellent service, and great ambiance - highly recommended!!

I had the carbonara and the noodles were far from al dente. The quinoa salad was amazing

The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We got a table for 3 for a lovely Sunday brunch. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the atmosphere is very nice for relaxing on a lazy Sunday.

Some of the best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had

The salmon salad was ok, but a bit disappointing. I expect a salad to be cut a bit more than it was. The salmon itself was done very well. The arancini balls were very good.y wife enjoyed the cacio pepe pasta. All in all this is a nice place, although a bit expensive. Also, I dont know if I would get a salad there again.

Best salmon salad Ive eaten in my life. Every ingredient was fresh and perfect! Attentive and friendly waitstaff.

Second location we have been in - UES was the first one - and we love it. Really good Pasta, good drinks, and a great atmosphere that moves away from a classic NYC italian restaurant, into an elegant and modern vibe.They have a speak easy type bar downstairs, but Im not sur when it is open to the public.

The home made pasta was cooked to perfection. The sauce from scratch and the staff were just the icing on the cake. You have to try Felice!

Very light food great for the summer. We ordered the branzino and veal pasta. Both tasted super clean and fresh. The fish is a must order, the way its cooked keeps it super light and juicy.

Our server, Brian, deserves all the praise in the world!! I’m all about customer service and making dinner feel like I’m eating with my own family. At this Italian cuisine, Brian did JUST that. Felt like I was being hosted by my own family member. Hope this man gets all the praise and promotion he deserves & all the success in his acting career. See you on the big screen Brian from New Jersey, eyyy paisan!From your new customer, Lanna from the lower east side

Felice Columbus is a must when looking for great pasta on the UWS! Every visit we are met with lovely service, excellent food, knowledgable bartenders, and a nice atmosphere. Dont miss their Ricotta Crostone - fresh ricotta topped with figs, sliced almonds, and spicy honey. Its so tasty I could eat it for breakfast, dinner, or dessert any day! Their pasta dishes shine, all with perfectly al dente pasta and great sauces. Some favorites (pictured below) include the Tonnarelli Cacio E Pepe (perfectly executed), Fusilli Al Ferretto E Burrata (lovely garlicky red sauce), and Ravioli della Casa (that butter and sage sauce is too good!). Were big fans of their wine selection, especially the Etna Bianco and the Super Tuscan.Recently, we hosted a 26-person party in their downstairs event space (with its own bar). The restaurant was a huge hit with all our guests! James Shughart coordinated our event wonderfully, helping us with any questions or requests, including making accomodations for young kids. We had a ton of fun with the staff working our event, and the food was excellent (as always). We would highly recommend Felice Columbus to anyone hoping to hold a celebration on the UWS!

I am Italian and I cook so I am extremely selective when I eat at Italian restaurants. This restaurant is outstanding! Arancini, even their meatballs, which I never like out! I had pasta with mushrooms and sausage..needed a little more truffle oil, I think they forgot to add.

Review 124 (2021-12-05 - Rating: 5)
Was invited by a friend to lunch here, and thought this was going to be one of those stuck up places with mediocre food on the Upper West Side. Ended up getting pleasantly surprised - although Felice is on the expensive side, the food was both generously portioned and well executed. I devoured the burger, and the fries were so good that I had to take them home even after sharing them with my friend over lunch. We also got the calamari for starters. The only slight hitch was I think some of the staff are new and unfamiliar with the menu, so ordering required a little more exposition than usual. Aside from that, if youre in the neighborhood and looking for a good place to have a meal, Felice wont disappoint.

An excellent restaurant. The bar is is a big one. Lots of seats. Food is excellent, service was decent, better than other spots. Food is pretty good. Not amazing but above status quo.Id dine here again but also while it was a good experience it wasnt that memorable where I would go out of my way to visit again.Worth checking out if nearby though.

Felicia is a high end Italian restaurant. Great food, drinks, atmosphere and service. Does not disappoint, I’ve been to the downtown location and the west side location is equally elegant and en par. It’s definitely a treat yourself good meal / dining experience.

Found my new favorite spot! Went there with a friend Sunday night. The place was pretty busy and we decided to sit at a bar. Started off with burrata and prosciutto which was amazing. I had a burger after that which was one of the best burgers Ive ever had. Unfortunately I couldnt finish it up since the portions were pretty big. My companion continued with lasagna which looked so good that I had to try. It tasted heavenly. The drinks and the staff were also amazing. We even met one of the managers Tiana who came in to check on us a couple of times. If I could I would have given them 10 stars! Definitely going back this week!

Always busy in a good way, so reservations are key. Occasionally, able to stop in and get a seat at the bar and order food. Design and vibe are curated well, allowing small groups to get together for great food and conversation. Never leave feeling hungry or hoarse from shouting for the past hour.

High quality food all around. Usually good service. To be totally honest, I suppose the food could be better, like the Bronzino, as well as both chicken dishes, but you’ll have an experience without complaints if you get the right dishes. The steak is very good and the salmon as well, but the main courses in general could use some work to be honest. The appetizers are excellent in my opinion, but I haven’t tried them all. This is a five star because four would be too low. This place isn’t perfect, but it’s better than most restaurants given its finer dining. I would happily eat here every day, which is high praise.
