This is a really solid joint with great food, comfy ambiance, and nice people, however, the only thing holding this place back from being the best Italian restaurant on the east side is the chicken liver moose- too chewy, sticky, strong stench,etc. If you remove this item from your menu, this will be an even more solid joint. read more

Bummed about the service here, though the food was so-so and the outdoor seating was lovely. The price of this spot indicates expert service and fresh ingredients, but only the latter was satisfied. Cheese plate (for three, $19) was huuuge and came with a dozen mixed olives, grapes and apples, and 4 pieces of super-toasted bread. Unfortunately, the Reggiano had a musty flavor to it, but the other 2 cheeses (1 soft and the other, Asiago) were grand. Our ravioli ($21) were a wee over cooked but set well in a perfectly aromatic and simple sauce. The gazpacho ($13) was both fresh and rich. I did find it too grainy, though, and I ate the whole thing wanting for salt. Had to flag everyone down for everything: water, wine list, water, drink order, food. Spent most of my long-awaited girl's meal looking out for an employee, and left exhausted. We were rushed out once we'd settled the bill. Ha! read more

A lovely dinner with friends and a little one. The staff was very accommodating, seating us at the table near the front to allow for easy entry-exit with a stroller. It's a little on the dark side, so it can be a little challenging in the front corner, but it's not too large of space so it doesn't get too crowded. There's a nice wine selection, nothing too crazy, but we were happy to find a nice Barolo on the menu. Dinner was lovely: Bolognese, whole grilled fish, carbonara. Will be happy to have another meal here to try more of the menu! read more

Ordered takeout from them during COVID and everything was outstanding! The star of the meal was the ricotta fig crostini, although the crepes and lasagna were also delicious. If you're in the mood for dessert, order the tiramisu. It might look big enough to share, but it is so light (and delicious) that you will definitely eat the entire thing yourself. The staff were friendly and the restaurant itself looked very cozy, so I am looking forward to returning for an in-person meal once it is safe to do so! read more

Intimate and cozy is about right - this place is designed for couples to sit down. A couple of larger tables, but if you're a big party, you're probably out of luck. Not for kids, either. Plenty of options - the meat & cheese plate we tried (small ) was two meats, two cheeses - the meat was great, the olive oil and olives on bread in the center were good, but the cheeses were unimpressive... just salty and no depth of flavor. Bread provided at the start was a bit stale and the single little olive oil dish was uninspired, plain olive oil. The pasta - tried the clam linguine, and was not impressed. Not gritty, but nothing more than a salty bath of oil and noodles with tough and rubbery overcooked clams. Disappointed at the dish. Didn't read the other reviews - homemade pasta must be better. And the candles on the table? Totally get in the way of your eyesight... "burned" into my memory, as it were. Too high and tall - they should put shorter ones in to avoid that problem. Service was okay - adequately attentive, but water was not refilled. It was reasonably busy, but I did expect someone to walk around. Very much a place for the romantics, but for a couple of friends just passing through to try the food, it wasn't terribly exciting. read more

The food was on the bland side and it's a pricey place. I've been to better places that are less expensive. The service was fine, seemed like the pasta was fresh. It's a cute little place with outside seating. read more

I used to live in the neighborhood and would get Felice often. I was in the area with some time to spare today so I decided to splurge on a to-go lunch. Did not disappoint, even during COVID. I had Caprese salad and cacaio e Pepe. Amazing. Continues to be one of the best neighborhood restaurants. read more

A great neighborhood restaurant. Not cheap, but quality worth it. The tomato sauce was amazing. Got the branzino as well. Great. Service was very pleasant. The decor is warm and the restaurant is on a corner with big windows. Got complimentary cookie plate with the check. read more

Stopped in for cocktails after dinner with my cousin and I sat at the bar. I tried the French Mule without the cherry vodka and just plain vodka. It was very good! My cousin tired the apple rum drink and it was a little too strong for her (she normally doesn't drink rum). The atmosphere is so cute and cozy with dark wood walls, dimly lit chandeliers, and comfy leather chairs at the tables. The Arno if all the delicious food smelt so good that I will definitely be going back soon for dinner! read more

Found my favorite Italian spot on the UES. The pasta dishes were one better than the next and the service was fantastic. Can't wait to go back! read more

The place has a modern feel. When it gets crowded the noise level quite high. If you don't mind the noise, the food is out of this world.

I had lunch at Felice with some colleagues there other day, and was pretty satisfied with their lunch fare. We were seated quite quickly, offered water, and served fresh bread -- two varieties -- and olive oil upon sitting. The table shared a small bowl of olives, and I started with a broccoli puree soup. Good, but not great. Not seasoned entirely well. For my main course, I had the vegetarian panini on whole wheat bread. Delicious with the burrata and eggplant, this was the highlight of my dining experience. read more

I give them 4 stars because they couldn't give us a table, the space its kind of tight but the food was acceptable, the tiramisu was delicious and the spinach ravioli was also really good, they don't have Chianti wine, so that was missing for an Italian spot. This is a cozy place if you want to sit by the bar with pleasant music ambiance. read more

Support your local restaurants! Things have change in the last few months in NYC, but that didn't stop FELICE to provide an amazing dinner! The outdoor set up is pretty good. The restaurant is located in corner so the sittings are on the side, which is great! We start with the Classico Crostoni and share a branzino and a side of spinach - delicious!!! And do not leave with out having the princes cake!! It was out of this world!! definitely recommend you to check out this restaurant ams support your local! read more

Disgusting excuse of a bolognese. Oily, barely any sauce and the meat was just strange. Tried adding cheese to make it better but it only made it worse and still paid $29 for it i never even leave reviews but this was such a waste of money. I was really looking forward to this date and it was just terrible. read more

Felice 64 - Oily bolognese - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I think Felice is really nice, but really overpriced for what they're offering. Smallish portions, though the food is good... eh. I'd rather come back for lunch than dinner, if you know what I'm saying. Friendly servers, but on a busy night, be prepared to dance for your waiter's attention. It's not their fault that they're mobbed, but the tables are so close together that you could reach out and take someone else's water if yours has yet to be filled. That's what's going on. read more

Was excited to go here the first night indoor dining opened back up. The take reservations but for inside, is first come first serve for the reservation time. We ended up sitting out side but was plenty warm with their overhead heaters. The tables are very close together outside but with dividers between them, very up close and personal with the tables next to us, which is the only reason for one less star. The service was excellent, the food hot and delicious with an expansive wine selections. We had wine but the cocktails at the tables next to us looked amazing! The waiter recommended the lamb meatballs which were great as was the cacio e pepe entree. The inside is initimate and perfect for a date night spot! Check it out!! read more

First time we tried this restaurant. We were actually looking for steak. But for delivery. Of course in New York that doesn't even sound odd... So we used Yelp as always. Ended up w this Italian restaurant because it both offered filet mignon AND delivery. ATTENTION: Our meal took an HOUR AND A HALF to arrive. No joke. Luckily it wasn't that cold. Still slightly warm. Def not hot. Secondly the baked potatoes we ordered were t with the order. Nada. Charged yes. But not included. Instead there were a few little potato wedges in the box. The sautéed spinach on the side was exactly two bite-fulls and no more. The filet was very good. Gotta hand them that. Damn perfect. Ordered Tiramisu for desert of course. Surprised to find out it was $9! Seriously. None dollars?!? This better be one big delicious tiramisu... But see attached photo... Barely two to three bites in total. Def not enough for two people to share. All in all I believe this is most likely a decent if not great restaurant IF you don't over-spending AND you go there to eat -- because waiting an hour and half for delivery just doesn't cut it. read more

Felice 64 - Yep. Believe it or not THIS TINY LITTLE THING is their $9 tiramisu. Sad... - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I had brunch at this restaurant for a small group of friends to celebrate a baby in the group. Felice went above and beyond with service to make our brunch so enjoyable! The food was delicious and our waitress was absolutely phenomenal! All covid protocols were followed and everyone felt very safe in our first time at a restaurant in some time. Highly recommend for a delicious, covid safe brunch! read more

One of my favorite go to restaurants in the neighborhood! Cool and cozy place with a delicious assortment of Italian appetizers and pastas.

Nice. Felice 64 is on a busy corner, but they always seem to have small groups eating and enjoying themselves - cool. I have dined in and ordered out a few times from Felice 64 and I haven't been disappointed. It's decent food. The bar is small and cozy, even for dinner. The staff is attentive and friendly. read more

An upper east side staple. The lasagna Classico is fantastic, and the eggplant appetizer is always delicious. Their covid outdoor setup is among the best in the area, and the staff is accommodating. Really appreciate their efforts to still provide quality service during these tough times for local restaurants!!!!! read more

Felice is a low key gem. Food is great, service is friendly and attentive, and its a nice date spot. A low key great item on the menu is the burger. Very juicy and if you ask nice enough, they will sprinkle parm cheese on your fries and burger (anywhere else would charge $3 more for that). read more

While I'm not often in the neighborhood I was thrilled with a spur of the moment dinner we had there. Not only was the food very delicious and authentically Italian, the service was excellent without being overly solicitous. They serve one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a while. Fresh Pasta with shaved black truffle . As expected the wine election was great, of course heavily Italian but including some of my favorite less common types and most at very competitive cost. Overall we had a wonderful dinner . read more

My husband and I were visiting NYC for the first time and made sure we researched the restaurants we chose. We were invited for dinner by family who live in NYC and they recommended Felice 64. We have to say that this was our absolute favorite restaurant we ate at our entire trip! This was just like we had in Italy! We highly recommend you eat here as you won't be disappointed! Aimee and Mark read more

Felice 64 you are truly terrific, I had a wonderful experience here today. The price is right. Felice 64 has an incredible Gelato, give it a try I think you would love it, I certainly love it. Not to mention, the service was excellent and the staff was really friendly. What an amazing find Felice 64 is. read more

I would never recommend this restaurant. The service was horrible. I walked out for not being acknowledged by multiple staff members while I waited to be seated for 20 mins.. having a reservation. They are not equipped to handle the volume that they take on in the restaurant. Another restaurant that accepts more reservations than they actually have room for. I won't return. read more

Firstly, I'm an Italian food freak. I've been here twice, once for romance & once for business. I was very happy both times. Both the wine & the food was very good & reasonable. Service was great too. I would definitely come back again.. read more

Ate here (finally) for the first time last night and had such a great experience. The food was SO good (rucola salad, chicken, Pappardelle Con Salsiccia) and our service was even better. Thank you to David and Richard for such a nice night and wonderful hospitality!!! They made the night! read more

I was at Felice64 on a date dinner with my wife. We had very pleasant experience: Ervis the manager welcomed us in Italian and showed us immediately our table. We started with a Burrata which was fresh, tasty and very creamy. As main course I picked Ravioli della Casa fresh made and simply delicious. My wife went for Linguine di Mare claims and shrimps without tomato. She loved it. As sweet ending we shared a tiramisu. I'm Italian and I felt like being back home. read more

A little overpriced for the portion size but the wine & food is always good! Hoping the quickness of the service will improve overtime.

WORST LUNCH EVER! This review is mainly about the service. The food is okay. Nothing great and a bit overpriced but the servers there are incompetent. 1. Asked for bread and butter three times. Got the bread finally, but never saw the butter 2. Ordered wine. Asked several times for it, finally came during the meal. 3. Brought the salads with the main courses. And not enough plates. Amateur hour, definitely. 4. Asked for dessert menus. Ordered dessert. Waiting and waiting. Another server comes over with dessert menus. I asked him what was going on, and he said I distracted him. From what? His job? Overall I would never ever return. Too many other better places to dine at. Also, extremely noisy. STAY AWAY! read more

my go-to for a bite with friends or a date. I will say, their food is best eaten there though (take out has been hit or miss) but when eaten right after it's prepared its really good. very consistent & always friendly. highly recommend the bolognese! read more

Came here for lunch. The salmon was tasty and the service was good, which is sadly not common these days.

Stopped here for lunch and it was amazing. The pasta Bologna's was to die for. Service was great.

Went with my boyfriend on a warm Friday night for outdoor dining. Had to wait a little past our reservation time but the service was so friendly and courteous that we didn't mind waiting. We are new to the UES and were very pleased to find such delicious Italian food close to our apartment. BF had the cacio e pepe, and I had the spaghetti alle vongole (one of the specials that night). We both enjoyed our meals immensely. Can't wait to go back! read more

Felice is a great neighborhood place. Candlelit, decent food, nice people. The only real problem with it , is that it is so darn corporate. There like 25 cameras recording everyone at all times. The pours are precisely measured (i.e.,stingy). Even though you've been going there for a decade, nobody really knows you that well, because the staff has completely turned over three times since you've been going there. It's owned by the same people that own Casa Lever on Park Avenue, you know, the one with all the Andy Warhols. Good date place. I like it because I look better under candle light. ;) Update. A glass of barolo here is $30. And even if you are the most regular of regulars, and tip well, you get a precise pour and they never, ever, ever buy you a drink. I live a half a block away, and I really want this place to be better than it is. But it will never be a family place, where it matters that you spend thousands of dollars a year here. The people are nice but they don't stay, they just rotate through. It's just so damn corporate. read more

Service food drinks atmosphere all amazing! The pastas are very good, wine reasonably priced. Overall great spot for any crowd!

Came here today for restaurant week cuz I'm usually too broke to eat this for it's normal cost. My friend and I got the rice balls and lemon zest meatballs for appetizer (and we didn't like it)! My other friend got mussels and it was soo good!!! For sec course I got the sausage pasta but I wasn't a fan of the typa pasta they used. I reccomend the salmon and chicken it was real flavorful if you like salty stuff. Gelato was so good tho(pistachio, hazelnut, and vanilla) read more
