Felice 83

Walked in to Felice 83rd and was surprised with a restaurant week dinner so gave it a try, and overall, the experience was mixed. The fettuccine bolognese was outstanding – the pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce was rich and flavorful. We paired our meal with a glass of Vermentino & Cabernet wine, alongside Amalfi /Senti off the cocktail menu 👌🏻.The ambiance was very dark and homey, with nice leather padding on the wooden chairs, creating a dark, atmospheric, and intimate vibe that I tend to enjoy.However, the chicken Milanese and Cacio e Pepe were somewhat disappointing. The chicken Milanese felt too simple/flavorless and lacked the expected flair. The cacio e pepe was watery and lacked the robust black pepper flavor, tasting more like a thin, starchy pasta water with some cream.Desserts were a mixed bag as well. The tiramisu was delightful, perfectly balanced, and highly recommended. On the other hand, the cocoa and almond lava cake, served with vanilla gelato, was a bit dry.

GREAT place!! We had the arancini, the ricotta zeppoles with prosciutto, the mussels, and the burrata with prosciutto for appetizers. The arancini and the zeppoles were out of this world. For an entree I had the salmon rigatoni and my boyfriend had the carbonara, again both were so good. We split the chocolate cake with vanilla gelato for dessert and that was really good too. Such a good date night spot!

Exemplary service. Perfectly prepared pasta. Good Prosecco

It deserves 5 stars but I probably wont go there anymore, unless for the bar. The bartender was fun and knew how to make good drinks! He made me singing that was not on the menu and it was super refreshing and tasty.The food was very good. But I had better Italian food so I am not sure if it should get 5 or 4! Maybe 4.5!

Really great and authentic Italian food! Will definitely come back soon!

Rude service + a cockroach on my tableHad a reservation here last Friday. Table wasnt ready when we arrived, so we sat at the bar. No big deal to wait a bit, but 40 minutes passed when I asked the hostess what the deal was. Hostess sits us in the corner at a small table (when we originally booked a booth). Frustrating but gain, not a huge deal. Food was nice as was the general atmosphere.Just after we finish eating, however, my girlfriend sees a huge cockroach on the wall, which then proceeds to fall directly onto our table. I bring this to the hostess attention, to which she quickly responds we just had the exterminator here and gaslights us with well this is New York, there are cockroaches....She did comp us one free drink each (bill was still over $100/person), and I understand people are probably pulling stunts all the time to get a free meal, but she was super rude and dismissive. With a million places to go get a decent meal in the neighborhood, dont spend your money here

Food was pretty good. Pasta dishs sauce was a lil broken (still good though) . The service was excellent. The only draw back, for me, were the flies. Liked the decor and atmosphere.

I love coming here for a nice late lunch or early dinner. Friendly service and good food. Outdoor dining is a pleasure. Its nice being remembered and greeted by staff. Felice 83 is my neighborhood go-to for good food, good times, and a pleasant overall dining experience . When sitting outside, fur babies are treated like royalty 😍 💕

While the ambience is nice, the food was overpriced and very average. I normally love mussels but these had a pretty strange flavor. Probably won’t go back

Visiting NYC for a couple of months and while out on an errand with a friend, found this charming place. The food and service was fantastic. We had the two course lunch with the Bruschetta and the Polpettine (veal meatballs). Delicious!! PANINO CLASSICO (prosciutto sandwich) and the FUSILLI AL FERRETTO E BURRATA was our second course. So amazing! The San Marzano red sauce was possibly the best thing Ive ever had. The service was wonderful. It was a slower day but I could tell the staff is very attentive and cared about details. Will be taking friends again soon. Thank you for the lovely experience!

Although the atmosphere is exceptional, the food has no taste and the server is there only after you call for their attention.

So happy that Felice is up and running and serving outside! One of the best Italian restaurants in New York! The menu is conveniently printed as a QR code and you can quickly open it on your phone.

This place is very disappointing. The moment we walked in and asked for a table, I had a weird vibe from the staff. They weren’t welcoming or friendly at all. It’s missing some human touch and this so-called hospitality vibe.Our drinks took forever to be served. The waiter didn’t even bother apologizing for the delay or said anything.We ordered a salad that look like a complete mess. It was a very lame presentation, looks like they gave up trying.Even more disappointing it was very bland and there was no dressing added to the salad. We have to ask for dressing, but when they gave it to us it look very watery (it’s like someone added some water to dilute the remaining ranch dressing in a bottle).This is the worst salad Ive ever had. Its not edible at all. We were so disappointed and left.This place blows…the ambiance, service and food quality is very mediocre.

Delicious! Classic Italian food. Everything was great.We sat in a heated outdoor area which was very warm, we actually asked them to turn off the heater.Ordered the calamari as a starter and I got the salmon as an entree. Everything was delicious! Well worth the price, would come again.

Felice is a wonderful restaurant: the food is great, good wine list and the staff make you feel welcome, appreciated and at home. Mariana, Luciano, Elvis, and Victor are amazing. Highly recommend

Italian restaurant (no pizza), friendly service and lovely food. The prices are higher than your average Italian place. Not too many vegetarian main dishes.

I just moved to the UES and decided to check this restaurant out for the first time tonight and I absolutely loved everything about it! The food was great and the service was amazing!! When we first walked in the restaurant’s manager greeted us with biggest smile, and made sure he could accommodate us since we didn’t have a reservation. He was super polite and always checking in to make sure we were having a good time. Our server was also super nice and effective the whole time. We are definitely coming back again!!

Great food experience and service. As an Italian I love good Italian food abroad!

Must admit the bartender was extremely beyond nice and welcoming made our first date memorable! Taking care of us inside and Im the outer seating area Thank you Shane!

Went here for date night. Loved the Bruschetta Crostini and the Arancini (highlight of the night). Got the Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe as my entree and just thought it was ok, definitely a neutral dish if that’s what you’re going for. Wrapped up the meal with some tiramisu. Would consider coming back to try something else on the menu.

Always loved the seafood pasta and the Service is Great, for me personally its a Bit too dark and stuffed inside!

I had the pleasure of dining at Felice 83th recently, and I must say that our experience was elevated tremendously by our fantastic waiter, Luciano. From the moment we were seated, [he/she/they] greeted us with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor that instantly made us feel welcome.

Im pretty sure we were served Costco Microwavable Lasagna. Clam pasta had 8 dime sized clams and no seasoning to speak of. First time around it came out undercooked and they fixed it quickly. The appetizer was great! I have no idea what happened after that. Each bottle of water was $10? Super disappointed and most likely will not come again. This establishment could learn a lot from competitors. Each plate was worth $10 maximum, considering I make these dishes at home myself regularly and they actually taste like something. The service was exceptional, this is strictly a food quality complaint. We went to get Shake Shack afterwards.

Tell the lady harassing people going through trash to mind her own business. Not her problem that people want to save waste from landfill. Why does she care so much. Super unprofessional and puts a bad taste in my mouth with Felice.

Awesome wine and charcuterie place and a must try in NYC!

Its the epitome of mid Italian food. Many better options around.

Food was bland. Pasta was tasteless, not even salt and parmesan could fix it. Arugula and artichoke salad had no artichoke and was very, very salty. We couldnt finish any of it. Service was not great, either. Bad faced waiter who obviously did not like his job. Please save your hard earned money and take it elsewhere, there are many, many more good Italian restaurants in New York worth your time.

Felice 83 is now one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. It is perfect for any night of the week. The food is delicious, the service is outstanding, and the ambiance is perfect. They also have a large menu with a variety of options, from pastas to salads to fish / meat entrees. Every meal Ive had has been great. This has become a weekly spot for us. Oh, and theyre very pet friendly as well (they even brought our pup a bowl for water!)

Best place to dine with the kindness staff . The food and drinks are a absolute delight to the Palate .

This place is a great place to go to. Out of all the bars / restaurants I’ve gone to, this is by far the best. PS, ask for Elvis 😉

Good menu covering many classic Italian dishes. Unusual is the chopped liver crostini. Thats a great find. The pastas are very good. Moderately priced, but still comes to a number of you have drinks, coffee, dessert (oh, do try the cheesecake. Yum)

Went to this restaurant for a Baptism/Brunch gathering. Food choices were phenomenal, wine superb. Loved the customer service, the vibe in the restaurant was superb! Will definitely be returning

This place is always busy so I decided to give it a try. The food is pretty good but definitely a bit expensive. Our server was great and definitely made the experience better. The experience didn’t start out great when the hostess wasn’t very welcoming. The waiter, however, was great! I told him it was my friends birthday and we had 4 servers come over and sing to her. It was very sweet of them!We enjoyed the ricotta appetizer. I ordered the bolognese which was pretty good too. I plan to go back to try other items on the menu!

The food was good and the ambience is very nice but unfortunately my friend and I (young professionals in our late-twenties) had an uncomfortable experience when it came to the service. The minute we sat down, without even really welcoming us or ordering drinks asked for IDs and commented on how young I look. We just brushed it off but both felt so uncomfortable and it set a weird tone, despite the staff otherwise being nice and attentive. Ive had a lot of dining experiences in NYC from hole-in-the-wall spots to fine dining and never have been welcomed in that way. A comment/request of that sort is perhaps expected at bars but not at restaurant where you will be spending a considerable amount. Maybe what happened was a total one off thing, thus why Im giving it 3 stars but we ultimately left wishing we just stuck to one of our usual UES Italian spots.

Tasty food but overpriced given the size of the portions. One of our five dishes took ~10 minutes longer to come out than the rest so most of our food was cold by the time the last person in our party received their meal. You could get the same quality food with better service for a more reasonable price elsewhere.

My friends and I enjoyed a great dinner. The service was fantastic and the food was portioned well and tasted great! The olive oil served with the free bread is to die for. Highly recommend!

Do NOT EVER order in from the restaurant. The food arrived cold in a warming bad. I am three blocks away. The delivery person must have been swinging then bag because the food was smashed. It was awful! I threw it out

Food is great, service is even better. I took my friend to dinner and had casually mentioned when I made the reservation that it was her birthday and they brought a candle on dessert without me prompting. This is the kind of thing that is truly appreciated !

We had a lovely evening out at Felice on Friday night. We did not have a reservation, and the staff went above and beyond to create a table for us (literally - they moved some outdoor tables around very quickly to accommodate our party of 4, which they were of course under no obligation to do, especially without advance notice!). Everyone was so thoughtful and attentive throughout the meal, and the food itself was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back to this neighborhood gem, and are so grateful to have it close by!

Undistinguished food at a steep price. Ordered a bolognese to be on the safe side. After all, how could an Italian restaurant mess up tomato sauce and ground veal? Wrong. I was left wishing I had never ordered from this place to begin with. The pasta Amatriciana had no spice, no kick, and sadly no flavor. Uninspiring and flavorless. I would recommend forgetting about the looks and presentation, and going back to basics to improve these recipes that lack any nuance.If you like your food well thought and well made I would stay away from this place.

We walked in with three kids based on the Google and Yelp review. Our server Danny, the best in New York City! He did an amazing job of suggesting options and was very friendly with us as well as with our three kids.My suggestion for the chef of this restaurant would to include more vegetables options in spaghetti for vegetarian people. I would definitely recommend this place if they can includeVegetables.

Good, cosy spot for a date night.I went with my friend, but we made jokes about the drinks being a date because this place is so cosy haha. Stuck in the friend zone? Take her here 🤗

Such a fun little restaurant in the UES.Best tiramisu out there. LOVED the calimari and the fried artichoke too- what a fun combo.Bruschetta was good, carbonara was to die for. My pal had the spaghetti in red sauce, it packed a punch of heat.You can sit outside in a heated booth or inside. Outside is quiet and romantic while inside is festive and darkly lit.There was one girl who got a steak and the aroma of buttery rosemary hot boxed our plastic enclosure.Service was fast and friendly.Wish it was a cheaper - I’d go all the time.

Cozy place, great food and staff absolutely kindly!The dinner is absolutely amazing, and the bar area is super nice and comfortable!The best pasta and salmon!!:)

Lasagna was mushy and all the flavors were all mixed together. The tuna tartar was not what we expected. All the pieces were separate and not blended together.The ricotta bread with honey was good. Sweet and savory. The brussel sprouts were the best part of the meal. They seemed to be deep fried with pancetta.Our waiter forgot our bruscetta so that was disappointing. We also waited a long time for our entrees.Overall it wasnt horrible but it was definitely not great.

Long time favorite of our friends/family in the neighborhood. Great for a nice dinner! Love the flourless cake as dessert. Honestly, can’t go wrong with anything you order. I also love their house Sangiovese. Yum! Also recommend getting a reservation online if you can!

The pasta here was delicious. Homemade noodles and beautiful sauce with sausage. The portion size was perfect. Wine selection is great but not cheap (definitely a more expensive/good selection). This would be a beautiful restaurant to go for an anniversary.Servers and hostess were lovely and very helpful with information about dishes on the menu and specials.

Recently celebrated a friends birthday... place is great for groups. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. Ill be back soon!

Lightning is terrible, bathrooms are dirty, drinks took longer than usual, the tiramisu was delicious, but the plate was dirty. Server took long time to greet our table, and the assistant mistake our sparkling water with tap water. Bad experience, its a no no for me.

Rock solid experience overall. The cuisine is top notchThe hostess and our waitress, particularly, were extremely accommodating and friendly. Walked away with a list full of suggestions to special places to visit while on an upcoming trip to ItalyThank you for a memorable dining experience

The bread and the desserts were excellent, but our entrees left a lot to be desired. My salmon had very little taste, and my boyfriends $40 steak special was very tough and partially inedible.

Great service, friendly staff, delicious food. Their principessa dessert is AMAZING! Best part of the meal. I really appreciated that I never had to ask for a refill of my water. Nice ambiance, not at all loud. Comfortable seating. All in all worth checking out.

I loved the ambiance of this place. It’s intimate and cozy! We had the pleasure of being attended to by vivianne and were expertly taken care of. I look forward to trying other dishes. Top notch service and food. Well done felice 83

The foodbwas delicious and the service is amazing. For this reason I give it FIVE STARS

This Italian restaurant is an expensive disappointment. Despite its exorbitant prices, the food is poorly prepared, and the overall experience is tarnished by its dirty, noisy atmosphere. Avoid at all costs.

Felice 83 is an awesome Italian spot in the UES, the wine, the bread, the pasta was all great and honestly sitting outside in the covered patio is extremely comfortable even on a cold night. If youre in the mood for a nice sit down italian meal and youre in the area I would check this place out

I love this place!The food is so delicious!!!

Cute place for a pasta lunch or dinner. Fast and friendly service and price was fair (25-30 usd for each pasta dish)

One of the best hamburgers that I’ve ever had. Wouldn’t expect it from an (excellent) Italian restaurant, but it’s true! Also, the lasagna!! 😋Great, great staff. 👏

Great environment for a date night. Pasta dishes are delicious.

Absolutely phenomenal service and wonderful food. The ambiance is stunning and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for modern Italian food and wine at an affordable price.

Disgusting people manage this place. They break the law and harass residents of mixed use building they occupy. Food is gross, place is dirty and they management are jerks

The food in this place is quite simply divine. I had the pappardelle con salsiccia with the Pinot Grigio and they were perfectly delicious. The wait staff are friendly and polite, but I have to say, We stood there waiting for someone to come show us to a table for quite a while, even though a number of them saw me waiting and the place was nearly empty. Still the food was great!

The staff is great, always trying to do the best! Been there many times. Photo of the last visit. There was not enough sauce in the pasta. The appetizer was great.

Loved the food. Extremely friendly waitress. Restaurant week menu had very good picks to try. A lot of wine selection. Had an option to do a wine special for each course I had for only $14 extra which was awesome.

Great experience, perfect ambiance, impeccable service (thank you, Alessandro!). But most of all, a great wine list (with very insightful suggestions) and excellent food.

The food and service are top notch. A great place to take your date. Highly recommend if youre in the neighborhood for some Italian food.

Not a huge fan of red sauce pastas but Felice could change my mind! Went in during a weird time of day about 6 months ago so the place was empty but every time Ive walked past it (week day or weekend) it has been a full house. Great ambiance and friendly service! $32 with tip

Always great food and service , Felice never disappoints ! Love it

1 week NYC and this is the one Spot that desweves a Review. From the staff, to the food anf the wine selection everything was just perfect, this is the spot not to miss!!!

Honestly the poor service completely outweighed the beautiful atmosphere and food. I came here with my boyfriend who was visiting out of town excited because the place has good reviews and I just moved to UES. The host at the door barely looked up and told us to sit anywhere. 10 mins later someone come to offer water but no menus. Another few minutes someone bring us a menu and promptly walks away. Another few mins someone else comes take out order and 20 mins later we get bread. No one checked on us at all. Not even to ask if we wanted drinks. When the food comes is the first time anyone has come to our table so we’re finally able to order drinks. Wait another few mins for Parmesan cheese and pepper. Eat and wait 15 mins for the check. Had to ask a completely different waitress. Will never come again despite the amazing Cacio e Pepe.

Very disappointed. Been passing this place for years and finally decided to try it with my wife. I am very patient so tend to tolerate the many nuissances Felice had to offer: greeted in the doorway on Saturday night in a half empty restaurant with “I can seat you but you have to give up the table by 8”...charming. My seat was beside a swing out door to the bar, so I had to endure the door crashing into my chair consistantly. So incredibly dark, impossible to read a menu...bring your cellphone with a flashlight app, place was filled with those....and I must say, the tomato sauce was the worst I have seen in a long time. Needless to say, for that high price point, not what we expected....my wife was quick to assure me, we will not be returning to this one...go elsewhere....not at all acceptable as an italian eatery...not even close.

My favorite restaurant in the UES

I love this place. I took my meetup group here and we had so much fun drinking, chatting and listening to the live music. The atmosphere was perfect-very inviting and relaxing. I will definitely be back!

Had the chicken Milanese. Basically just a fried piece of chicken. Eggplant parmesan was good but sauce left a lot to be desired. Can get this kind of food anywhere for a better price.

Food was decent. Service friendly but poor. Server forgot one of the items ordered. Once reminded took a while to get it but even longer to get servers attention initially.

Small portions sadly 😔 Pasta was a little too hard and chewy. Good wine selection, friendly - amazing front door and waiter staff!

Went in on a Sunday early afternoon for brunch. It was kinda full outside but a lot of open tables inside. I had the hamburger but wish I got something off the brunch menu, like the pancakes, french toast, or the polenta . The fries were delicious and although the burger looked great and was juicy, the flavors were kind of off. I would normally give a place another try if the food wasnt to my taste at the time (especially italian because I usually love everything) but the 2 stars are because the service was horrible. I sat down and we waited and waited to order, no one came. We finally stopped someone and asked them to take our order. I had ordered the clementine soda and when I asked for another, they took so long that i almost thought they forgot but then the waiter finally returned to say they didnt have anymore. They cleared our plates and asked if we wanted dessert and we said no but instead of bringing us the check, we just sat there again for a long time before we had to flag down the waiter again to get us the check. Having to flag down service multiple times is enough for me not to want to go back.

Their spinach and ricotta ravioli is very tasty and all their crostinis too, but the ricotta/fig and honey is my favorite! I also find the staff to be very friendly, which is nice.

Good food. Not too pricey.

Worst experience. The place was overpriced. The bread was stale, the Spagetti was dry, but the service is what really made this place horrible. I had to ask for water five times. I had to ask for balsamic 5 times. Should’ve gotten up after the first red flag. NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN

Excellent food, nice staff, and you can actually talk to and hear the people you are having dinner with. How rare in a restaurant today.

Stopped here after work with some friends for drinks. Never again. Drinks are ridiculously small. It has ben years in NYC since Ive seen a bartender use a shot glass. LOL!!!

The italian food here is delicious, the seafood is fresh, the pasta carbonara is one of my favorites, good selection of wine, the portions are a bit small, the service leaves a bit to be desired, sometimes the cutlery is not clean as well as the glasses, this is one of the reasons why I dont give it 5 stars.

Love this place. So happy its come to the UES. Great date spot, but make sure to make a reservation. The wine list has something for everyone and if youre not sure ask the super helpful sommelier.

Great birthday celebration. Shout-out to Luciano!

Went for Restaurant Week. Food was absolutely amazing. Best gazspacho Ive ever had in my life. Service was impeccable as well.

Excellent food! Negroni was very small.. love the atmosphere..very authentic Italian food!

Friendly staff. Lots of seating inside and out. Pretty popular and busy. Nice interior design. Bar next door can be accessed from inside the restaurant also. We had a cheese and meat plate. Talk about big portions! It was good. We also had muscles. It lacked flavor and we had to add salt. House wine was delicious but a tad sweet for my liking. Good experience. Will be back.

First time went as a walk in and I fell in love with the place definitely will be coming back

Amazing service and great food!

Do not recommend anyone to come here. Manager is rude and disrespectful. Shows a lot about a business. Left a sour taste in my mouth.

You are all over tik tok as the restaurant that shames people for upcycling and turning trash into treasure. You should be ashamed of yourselves for screaming at people trying to reduce waste in this country. Actually for screaming at anyone for anything - what gives you the right to yell at other citizens? I would never dine in your restaurant and I hope others who care about the planet boycott you too.

Rude manager who yells at local residents for recycling items tossed out by neighbors. Focus on your food and keep out of business of people doing good things.

This cozy place has left the best impressions! Especially their manager Flavio who was super sweet, helpful and friendly! Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

I love this place. It never disappoints me . The food. The drinks are amazing. I recommend it to everyone.

Beautiful place; delicious food; excelled and friendly service.

It was good.

Good place for a date. The place has decent food, good wine, good atmosphere and good service. However it is missing some sparks in order to make it super cool

Despite having a cramped and overly dimlit feel, amazing food and service.Would definitely go back for the food.

Had an exceptional dining experience at Felice tonight! The warm and attentive service, coupled with delicious dishes, made the evening memorable. Kudos to the manager for ensuring we felt well taken care of. The ambiance was perfect for our family gathering, and the food was superb. Felice is definitely the go-to choice for a delightful dining experience during the holidays. Highly recommend!

Great wine selection, nice food. A little overpriced but always wonderful people working there and great outdoor seating.

Very enjoyable environment, with good food and house wines. Would definitely recommend it to anyone on the upper Eastside.

Nice locale but food is just mediocre and quite expensive. Will not return.

Rude owner. Yells at you for being outside minding your business.

Great service, good food. Proportions just right. Shrimp and quinoa salad is delicious.

Utensils are not clean. This is my second knife that I had to take from a different table as the one they gave me had some cheese crust stuck on it, yet wrapped into the napkin. Service is very slow at lunch. Bread plate that is presented at the table stayed empty the entire time. This is my third time doing lunch here and it’s always a struggle to get ANY attention. Salmon tartare was just below average. The portion is very large for an appetizer and it just didn’t taste right. I asked for sparkling water and the waiter gave me tap, though there were only 4 tables in the whole place. Attention to details is low. For the price of everything I really do not recommend it, unless you want to spend hours waiting and waste $$$. A lot of better places with more authentic italian food on UES.

I live nearby and, after seeing so many people dining at Felice 83, decided to stop at this restaurant.I wasn’t impressed. The wine was good. The food was underwhelming: I had Linguine alle vongole, and it was too salty. The service was sluggish and not very attentive.

Great atmosphere; great service and food was yummy - the chicken milanese though was not really chicken milanese but still good.

My favorite italian in the city - great quality pasta and nice wine. Great ambience and service too!

Quiet for weekday lunch. Big portions, very tasty. The pre-fixe lunch is a good deal.

Did a small celebration with champagne 🍾 Didnt have much food but nice wine and environment!

Amazing experience!!! Perfect for dates...especially the lounge bar Felice!!! Very good food and service...my best restaurant in the upper east side!!!

Awesome food. Great service really nice atmosphere. Get the chicory salad!

Very Beautiful, pleasant Restaurant, polite staff, excellent service.Prices are average for Manhattan.I liked everything very much.I recommend visiting.

Slow cooked food that have the virtue of making me travel back in time, to my grandmothers great dinners ✨

Excellent service and atmosphere. Food was just ok

Great atmosphere and good food

The calamari are to die for. Wonderful bottle of prosecco with pasta al pesto

Food and service excellent. Pricey but as I said food/fish dishes exceptional.

Went for nyc restaurant week. The food was very fresh and they gave large portions.

One of my favorite places! Good food, great vibes!

What a great local bar on the east side fun and the head live music what a blast great staff

Consistently good at all of their locations and wonderful outdoor dining and service

Food and cocktails are delicious, but service is a little absent-minded

Had an absolutely amazing Thanksgiving day dinner outside. Food and service fabulous 👌

I am a fan of the Felice restaurants but service was seriously sub-par at Felice 83 on our last trip.

Food was average for an Italian restaurant - nothing special, but extremely pricy...

Nice, real italian flavor and cozy ambience.

Really fantastic pasta, wine and cocktails. The bar events are great with delicious food and cocktails. Great Upper East Side Italian food, recommend the bolognese, the Manhattan, and all of the wine.

Not accommodating what so ever. Wouldn’t recommend coming here if you’re looking for good customer service

Been here a couple times and always enjoyed it. The vibe is much more modern and upbeat, and loud - - compared to your traditional Italian restaurant.I had the special, which I thought had too much onion for a chicken Marsala, but the chicken was tender and the potatoes were perfect. Service was fantastic start to finish.Pricing is fair for the neighborhood and the wine was a decent pour that was really enjoyable.

Service sucked. Food took an hour to come out and in less than satisfying portions.

Food was great & our server was outstanding!

Too pricey. Quality is good to very good. But you are overpaying for what you get.

Food and table service was very good, overpriced single shot poor by a non attentive bar tender was a disappointment.

Friendly atmosphere, nice service, good comfort italian food

Always a great experience. Nicest staff and food is delicious.

Food was delicious - hot and well prepared. Service was great - European level (i.e. very good). The ambiance is lovely. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Terrible food, terrible service, terrible location, onions in charcuterie 😭 overpriced nonsense. byeeee

Great Italian restaurant with real Italian food and nice vibe.

Went there early on a Friday with two friends. There was immediate service.Servers were very attentive. We all enjoyed the octopus (delightful large appetizer portion), lasagna, bolognese, and the beef braised in wine pappardelle.The atmosphere was quiet enough to have a nice conversation; although, the music was turned up a bit into service. Overall, it was a terrifically warm environment. Highly recommend.

Our experience was terrible.. horrible service and food was very fair..

Dined here for the first time a few days ago and really enjoyed it - the food was great, the atmosphere was inviting and the service was good enough. We are outside and there is ample seating. The inside portion was small but cozy and they have a small bar. There is no pizza here which is no problem as the menu has a variety of pasta and main dishes. The tiramisu was delicious.

My gf and I had a really nice time here. We tried the restaurant week menu and enjoyed it very much. But what made the experience all that much better was the service. Luciano and Lazaro did an incredible job! They made the dining experience fun and we’ll for sure be back again soon!

What a ridiculous restaurant. I arrived at the front door to pick up my order, the waiter told me to go to the registrar at the other side of the room, but from the outside through the side door, even though the restaurant is not packed at all that I cannot walk through inside.I went around outside and entered through the side door, told the waiter there my order and he went inside the kitchen to pick up. The other waiter from the front door came by and told me to wait outside! I was just standing there waiting for this guy to return with my food from literally less than 5 feet way inside the kitchen. I have no idea why they would treat customers this way.

The food was delicious and the staff was very attentive to us, however, we were late to our reservation and we believe that because of this, the hostess seated us at the worst table possible. We asked to be reseated elsewhere and she told us that they couldn’t accommodate our request, even if we were willing to wait for another table to open up. Meanwhile, 2 other parties were seated beside us at an equally unappealing table and upon their request to be reseated, were immediately reseated at a nicer table. We felt the customer service offered to us was seriously inadequate. It is unfortunate that a restaurant with such good food hired a hostess with such disregard for customer service. It was rude and unaccommodating and we will definitely think twice about revisiting.

Warm atmosphere. Had group lunch and food fresh and healthy.

Such a cozy spot, delicious food and great staff. The bolognese is a must! Mussels are excellent too couldn’t get enough of that sauce. Will be back for sure.

Noise level was too high for my taste hut food was very good.

Food was high quality. Servers are attentive to the customers needs. I’d recommend make a reservation otherwise they also have first come first serve seating next door at the bar area.

Rude and disgusting mannered manager!

Joanna was the personable hostess at the entry to the restaurant.The waitor was conversive and early Sunday brunch service was fast. The Bacon Omelette was substantial and tasty with a smooth Chardonay in a comfortable relaxed setting. It is a favorite place for me on Manhattans Upper East Side in the East 80s.

I went with a group of 6 people, we all ordered different entrees, and every one of our meals was practically flavorless. Drinks were delicious and service was great though. But I couldn’t even believe the food cost that much for what we got.

Wanted to like this more than I did. Ordered Cacio e Pepe but it had no flavor at all. The cacio was definitely lacking. Atmosphere was great. Server was exceptional. Prices were New York prices.

Not sure what it was about this place but just didnt have a great experience. Everyone was very friendly and helpful but I guess I was expecting better quality dishes. There are other places Ill go first before returning here.

I didnt really like the food that much but the service was great

First class. You will be hard-pressed to find a better place. Food is superb and the staff exceptional.

Really enjoyable experience - great lighting, perfect decor, the most comfortable restaurant seats you’ll ever sit in. It was a bit loud but overall a grand time.

Over priced food very bland ordered special pasta and lobster dishAppetizers mussels were very goodService goodWould not recommend

Host hung up on me when I called to ask about their ability to accommodate food allergies.

Cauliflower power! A wonderful vibe, well-cooked well-seasoned food, and something for everyone. A superb wine list. Will be back.

Owned by a very popular small chain is living up to the high standards of it.

We had a delicious brunch. Our waiter was Ivan (sp) and he was very attentive. Beautifully decorated restaurant. Spotless restrooms. What more could you want? I cant want to go back and try the milanese.

Had a great time. The ravioli was great.

Went here on my 1 year anniversary. We got there right before closing but they squeezed us in. The cocktails were amazing and the food was so yummy. Highly recommend the chicken breast . Pretty patio and candle light

Its very rare to dine out these days where you enjoy every second spent at a restaurant. Dining at Bar Felice was such a lovely evening. The food was divine, the wine was perfect and the service is what really drove this review. It was attentive, kind, and how every restaurant should aspire to be. Lassaro (I believe thats how you spell his name) was the busser that added the cherry on top to a perfect dining experience. He was fantastic, as was every aspect of dining here.

Love the food here and the service is always A1. I recommend dinning here whenever you get a chance too, the food is that delicious.

A real Italian flavour, nice staff...from Italy....good food, relaxing atmosphere and no loud music....so you can actually have a conversation.

I ordered the steak sirloin, medium. One of the best deals Ive had in a very long time. Blew my dining experience away. Highly recommend this place

Place has a good vine. Service is great. Food can use a bit more seasoning. Still a fun place.

Amazingly delicious food & wine!

Very disappointed. Melon (with prosciutto ) was hard, not close to ripe. Linguine with seafood: specks of matter in the pasta couldn’t be identified by either taste or sight. Service was slow but no more so than other restaurants today. I do give the servers credit for energetically trying.

Great service , food used to be better in the past

Branzino was excellent!Great wine selection too.

Always delicious.

Great wine bar for a quiet evening. The selection of wines is broad enough to find something that you like.The Ricotta Crostini were an amazing match with the wine.

Great food! Service is amazing!

First time at the restaurant unfortunately service wasn’t good at all ! They have a lot of staff but not good service ! We order basic food ! Order few appetizers and mussels never came ! Another order for main course everything came wrong ! It’s s shame! They can do better !

Italian food restaurant, on a prime corner spot. Pasta dishes are really tasty and rich with sauce. The complimentary bread is really good, and salty right of the basket - try it o ly with olive oil and a glass of wine.The wine selection is VAST! The have really good options, and for all price ranges on glass and bottle.

Always a pleasure to have lunch or dinner at Felice. However, our first disappointment was on Monday. I ordered the “baked eggs” from the brunch menu. The sausage meet was greasy and swimming in oil. I got severe stomach cramps and was sick for several hours.

Was better a few years ago. Still great… just not as good as pre pandemic.

Happened upon this restaurant looking for a place to have lunch. Albeit not crowded when I arrived, I was amazingly suprised by the deliciousness of my meal. I had the salmon, and it was the best salmon ibhave ever had. It was cooked to perfection. My only recommendation would be more variety from the bar to meet the desires on the non wine palettes.

The fettuccine bolonegese was so light and flavorful. The pasta was fresh and delicate. Cant wait to try more items on the menu.

My husband and I found this restaurant while walking to another restaurant. He recommended this one and everything was wonderful. The price was just right and food portion were great. The staff was nice.Only thing it was little cold in the restaurant.

Excellent service, food and ambiance as always. Favorite Italian on the UES.

My wife and I have had 3 fantasy meals here in the last 2 months. At our most recent, we ordered the arancini for an appetizer which was delicious. My wife and I both love their Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe. It is so simple but so delicious. Unfortunately the last time we went, the Parmesan cheese was definitely missing from the dish. We told our waitress and she promptly got her manager, Mariana. She was very apologetic and immediately had the chef redo the pasta and this time it was absolutely perfect. She also removed our appetizer from our bill which was so nice of her. The ravioli delle casa is also delicious!This place has fantastic Italian food and a great wine selection but just as importantly, an amazing and super friendly staff. If you are looking for great Italian food on the UES I highly recommend Felice 83. Thanks again Mariana!!

BE WARNED!!! My Boyfriend and I go out to eat a LOT on the UES. Yes, the food was good here, but a $130 piece of steak???!!! Are you kidding me??? I felt terrible since I was the one who suggested we go to this restaurant. Imagine how awful I felt when my BF was presented with the check that charged him $130 just for their Special steak! The bill was over $250! This is unacceptable!!!Of course, they neglect to inform you how much the specials are. I understand that steak can be expensive, but $130 for a steak dinner!!!! Are you kidding me???!!! Intentional?! Its kind of hard to believe it isnt intentional, when they just happen to NOT mention that they are charging you $130 for one steak dinner!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! I have NEVER felt so taken advantage of at any of the hundreds of restaurants I have ever been to then I did tonight at Felice 83!!! WHO DOES THAT???!!!! They should be ashamed of themselves!! I will NEVER go back there again!!!

I went to 83rd and 1st location recently for a date night. I was so engaged I neglected to capture any photos of our meal or drinks but everything was great.Rigatoni and Salmon, Sea Bass with Yukon Gold Potatoes in parchment. Now thee Appetizer Fried Calamari & ArtichokeSooo good I was actually good with that and my drink alone. I will return to thee UES location for a solo date and take photos this time lol 😆

A pretty good burger, really good gnocchi. The customer service from host and server were slow to give us attention, and not cordial when they did. Go for the food, though!

My husband and I have always enjoyed going to Felice 83. The food has always been well prepared. Special. Well since they got a new chef, the food is terrible. The fabulous tender and delicate meatballs are now little hard balls that are oversalted and tasteless. The special tomato bruschetta is now being served to resemble the tomato bruschetta you can get anywhere and is nothing to write home about. We are not planning to return any time soon. Lots of apologies cannnot make up for the disappointing food experience.

Food was very bland. The Crostone Ricotta needed more honey; the ricotta was so bland and there was tons of it. The Fusilli Al Ferretto E Burrata lacked flavor and the Bolognese reminded me of my public middle school lunch. Oh and when I asked for more burrata the waiter told me that my pasta already came with more and looked at me strangely. Well maybe if it had been served with a adequate portion I wouldn’t have had to request a side. Very unremarkable. I think maybe we just ordered the wrong things or the kitchen had a bad night, because the pictures looked good online.

Upscale comfort with good food, drinks and attentive service, even at the busiest times. Admittedly, after dinner drinks, coffees and a dessert is all we ordered but the enjoyment was complete. Wine was a generous pour of a Cabernet selected by the service staff, the cappuccinos were properly prepared and presented, and the dessert was tasty.

Good food and wine selection, but high prices for what it is. Nice atmosphere with perfect lighting. The wine bar next door thats part of the restaurant has a decent Italian wine list.

One of the best wine bars in the city, and Luis, our waiter, made our experience that much better with his expert knowledge and friendly service!

Felice 83 surpassed my expectations!!!I loved the ambiance, lanterned candles along with the Italian rustic decor.The staff were amazing, it was like spending time with family and friends.My family and I had a three course meal.The portions were perfect and the menu catered to my vegetarian needs.We also enjoyed a variety of desserts.Many thanks to Christian and Felice 83 staff.

Top noch barman! I silently enjoyed the conversations at the bar :-)

Was pleasantly surprised. Had lovely pasta here. I’ll be back to try more things!

Very pricey but tasty.
