We celebrated a graduation dinner last night and the atmosphere was noisy, but expected for a busy Saturday evening. Our waiter was very attentive and pleasant as was the wait staff. Our food was mostly good; not exceptional. One disappointment was my husband's swordfish livornaise. He is familiar with this dish, having prepared it himself. There was no marinara sauce with capers and olives, as is typical in the recipe. I would have expected an Italian restaurant to get that right. The swordfish was ample and not dry. The lasagna was served in an individual baking dish and it was surrounded in oil. Not appetizing. The prices are high, as expected. Only wish the food was more exceptional for the prices. Tiramisu was delicious. Probably would not go there again. read more

Felina Summit is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant, located inside the Albion Summit Hotel, has been stunningly renovated and feels elegant, modern, and welcoming. The floor-to-ceiling windows create a gorgeous atmosphere, and the food was delicious. Service throughout the meal was very good, and our server, Abby, was friendly and attentive. That said, there were a couple of disappointments. It was my birthday, and we were asked multiple times throughout the evening whether we were celebrating a special occasion. However, nothing was ever acknowledged at the end of the meal. We even had to remind our server about the limoncello shots that typically accompany dessert, which felt a bit awkward after being asked so many times about the occasion. My biggest concern is the seating issue with the windows. While the floor-to-ceiling glass is beautiful, the sun glare was extremely uncomfortable where we were seated. The sun was directly in our eyes for much of the meal, and we found ourselves switching and repositioning our chairs just to be comfortable. The restaurant should consider installing shades, scrims, or another solution to help manage the sunlight during certain hours. Overall, Felina Summit is a gorgeous restaurant with excellent food and good service, and I would certainly return. With better management of the sunlight and a little more follow-through on special occasion acknowledgments, the experience would be even better. read more

The renovated space of the old Summit Hotel is exceptional. Really love the space and the potential to hold a meeting in their facility. I wish I could say the same about the food. The food was okay. Not worth the price. There are better places in Summit for food. We had the farm salad and the Frutti de Mare (seafood pasta). The salad was mainly greens with sliced tomatoes soaked in dressing which was uninspired. The seafood in the Frutti de Mare was tough and rubbery. The shrimp was overcooked while the lobster was difficult to extract even though it was completely cut in half. The dessert which was a peach cobbler was both overly sweet and tart. The service was great. Food came out promptly. Our server might have been overly attentive and checked in on us at least 5 times during the meal to see if we enjoyed it. So a great place to visit and enjoy the ambience but not a great place for eating. read more

Great spot. Very large, beautiful space. I was staying at the Albion and someone had recommended Felina to me. The cocktails I had ordered were both fantastic (I loved the Negroni!). They have a great wine selection and limoncello made in house (also fantastic). The heirloom tomatoes and burrata was bright and I devoured this (thanks chef!). The lasagna was recommended. It was hearty, well-made, structured and saucy. They give you a huge portion so come hungry or share with someone! My only complaint is that I forgot my leftovers in the hotel room when I checked out I was looking forward to them. I will for sure be back ! read more

I've come here once before to celebrate my dad's birthday. Came again to celebrate a friend's birthday ! I'm not sure I can choose whether I like this place more for brunch or dinner but either way, the vibes are fun. The food and service were great. And an open kitchen is always fun to watch and listen to tbh read more

The space is beautiful and huge. We were a large group and they gave us a huge table by the fireplace. We went on a Sunday at 1:30 thinking we could order from the lunch menu but they only offered the brunch menu which was very limited. I ordered the salmon entree which I enjoyed but most of our group got burgers or the frittata (the frittatas were so bad that they didn't charge us for them). Burgers were okay but with American cheese only and it was practically burned into the burger. We tried to order bread for the table but they don't offer bread for brunch which is crazy. We got the basket of mini danishes and croissants which were like dessert before the meal which was annoying. The drinks menu was very large and $$$ but I didn't drink. The table shared a few desserts but I didn't taste. The decaf coffee was very good. I would go if someone else is paying. Not worth the money. read more

Felina in Summit is located in a beautiful, high-ceilinged converted bank. While the architecture is beautiful and the service was genuinely great, the food fell flat. The ribeye was extremely average and the mafalde cacio e pepe was soooo dry. Despite the atmosphere, the meal was mediocre across the board and I am in no rush to return. read more

After having a great experience at the Ridgewood location of Felina, I also went to the one in Summit. This restaurant is located in the lobby of a nice hotel and it was a surprisingly large space. I had indicated in the reservation that the dinner was for a birthday, and they kindly gave our group special menus with happy birthday at the top, which was a nice touch. We were given complimentary focaccia and olives to start off the meal, which they refilled halfway through. We ordered crabcake and calamari for the table which were both good. For my entree, I ordered the creste di gallo whch was just alright and I probably would not order it again. To end the meal, we were given limoncello shots and a dessert with a candle and happy birthday written in Italian! read more

I'm a really big fan of Felina. It will also always hold a special place in my heart because this is the venue that I got married at. Anyways, on to the food! Amazing. The pizza was perfectly charred and even a plain old margherita was bursting with flavor. The chicken milanese came perfectly pounded and was topped with lots of fresh parm. And the broccoli rabe sausage pasta was al dente and flavorful. These are three dishes that I could literally eat every day and Felina nailed it. The space is located in the lobby of the newly renovated Albion Hotel (formerly Grand Summit) and everything is flawlessly designed. I love the open kitchen concept. Even though the dining space is huge, it does fill up. On a weekend you'll need a reservation. Service was friendly and they even gave us comped glasses of champagne for our anniversary. Too sweet. This was a fab experience and I will be back! read more

Absolutely incredible experience celebrating my 40th birthday at Albion Summit! Jennifer made planning easy with her kindness and patience, and the team delivered flawless service, amazing food, and great attention to detail. Guests are still raving--especially our vegan guests who felt so well taken care of. Huge thanks to Monique, the Maître d', for taking such wonderful care of me all night (and for capturing great photos so I could enjoy every moment!). Truly one for the books--couldn't have asked for a more special celebration. read more

I had a fantastic experience here. Starting from the large parking lot which made it a breeze to come dine here. On the Sunday before Christmas, the bar and restaurant area was decorated beautifully. There were also a couple cozy fireplaces to lounge with a drink. I came for their brunch and offered the chicken Milanese. It was so crispy and cooked perfectly. I was slightly disappointed that the drink menu was so limited, and items listed on their website menu were not available. Service was good and my group was able to enjoy hanging out without feeling rushed. read more

I went to Felina the Friday night after Thanksgiving with a friend and had a really wonderful meal. I haven't been to the Summit Hotel since it became The Albion (I grew up in the area but don't live here anymore) and the renovations are beautiful. Felina is a large restaurant with a great bar space. There is just something about a circular bar that says, "we're going to have fun tonight!" We sat in the lower section and were the first table of two when you came down the stairs. This is where I took off one star because my friend sat in the booth and I sat in the chair in the aisle and every single waiter bumped into me throughout the meal. EVERY SINGLE ONE. I was also bumped into by the pasta cart with the giant cheese wheel, by kids running by, by truly anyone who walked by because it was such a tight space. We scooched our table as close to the booth as we could but still I was bumped over and over and over again and if you can't tell, I didn't like it. Drinks: We both had glasses of the pinot noir which was delicious and ended up splitting a third glass. Food: We split farm salad, the margharita pizza, the ribeye and the sorbet. It was the perfect meal, the steak was cooked perfectly, and everything was delicious and I left full but not stuffed. They also have a fun system where if you're taking home leftovers, they don't give you the bag at the table but instead give you a miniature pot that has a word in it (ours was "sun") and then when you're ready to leave you give the pot to the front desk and they give you your food. I will definitely go back to Felina but I will most definitely speak up if they seat me in the aisle again! read more

I give Felina 5 stars for the overall experience. It is an absolutely beautiful space. You walk in off the street and you think you are in a swanky restaurant in Manhattan. We sat at the bar. I had a cocktail. My wife had a glass of Prosecco which she loved. I didn't care for my cocktail but also it reminded me why I don't drink. Because I generally don't enjoy cocktails. So shame on me. What a big ice cube, though. That was fun. We ordered the funghi pizza which did not have sauce. Missed that in the description. Excellent, though. Neapolitan style. Thin crust great leopard spots on the bottom. Reminded me a lot of Pizza Vita in Summit but elevated. And $22. That's not bad. That's pretty standard in Summit. And you're not eating it in a storefront. The manager came over and introduced herself and asked how the food was. When she found out we were local told us we must come back (which we plan to. Probably for New Years. ). We had Tiramisu which was good not great. But again five star experience. Bartender outfits. Hideous wrinkled light grey sport coats. Not flattering. Like a bad Clinique counter. read more

Nice spot in Summit. You'll miss it since it looks like X-Men's mansion. It'll look empty since it's enormous inside. Food was good - better than expected. Hard to say what was the best thing we had. Everything was decent. read more

Located in the Albion Summit hotel - ground floor. Service at the bar was quick and simple, though busy with the one bartender running around it (early night). Later on more help came. Sat at a table recessed down some steps, staffers were good at checking in on us. Drinks - had a fascinating Alpine Old Fashioned, where they did a bit of smoky pine wood liqueur with smoked wood adding another layer of smoky-ness to the drink. Interesting, smooth. Meatballs were small, four, and not bad- sauce was better than the meatballs, but overall well-balanced. The bread with olives was great as an appetizer - a little crunch to the focaccia style bread and olive oil, salt and rosemary. Had some pickled/spicy cabbage to the side, not quite spicy or sour enough. Lasagna was quite good, a layered and savory, cheese was not too heavy, dish. Soppressata pizza was ok; a bit of a crunch but not spicy enough on the honey or soppressata; the fresh mozzarella was better than the provolone on it. Scallops (tried one from my fellow diner's plate) were cooked very properly, albeit not much flavor beyond a little salt on the top, so if you like simple, that worked. Will have to try more, definitely peaked my interest here. To go reminder that you have something packed from dinner was a little heavy metal measuring device like a copper pot, either for small sauce bit or for measuring maybe 1/4 of a cup - a little phrase written inside. I would've preferred a simple number, but it was fun and interesting. read more

Was there last night with my friends. We had a wonderful meal. All four of us were very happy. I had chicken Parmesan, which was very tender and the pasta was cooked properly. My wife had the Bronzino and usually she's very critical but loved it. Service was impeccable and the manager came over several times to make sure we were happy. We love the experience. I would go back. The Zeppoli for $15 was very good but they only gave you about six little tiny balls would've loved to have seen a lot more for that price. read more

Felina Summit - Chicken parm not on menu - Italian Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

The service was an absolute nightmare. Our waiter disappeared on us the majority of the night, did not have good etiquette as he abruptly interrupted us multiple times, never came back to give us any water, I wanted to order a drink but he was no where to be found. It was so bad I had to get up and go find him bc we literally were being ignored. I would not recommend this place, it's all "vibes" but no substance in terms of service or food. Jenni the manager and the waitress from the table next us to were very nice, but our waiter just ruined the entire experience of trying this highly Hyped place out. Food was okay: the stracciatello salad was probably the best thing we ordered. Arancini were so so, the cacio e Pepe was good, but not the most flavorful. read more

We stopped by for dinner last nite. Been there 2 months ago w my girlfriends n wanted to go w my hubby. What a lovely n vibrant restaurant in summit. Lovely well decorated w a nice ambiance. Was the old Summit hotel. There's valet n self parking. Plenty of parking spots. Nice clean restrooms. Friendly welcoming staff. We had the home made focaccia w pickled eggplant n olives. The pickled eggplant was something different but was good. We started off w the Cesar salad n lioni burratta which was v interesting healthy n v refreshing w melon balls, greens, burratta, mint n mache. The mache gave a crunch to salad. Something different but was really really good. The Cesar salad was good too. For entrees had the pork scaloppini w mashed potatoes. Hmm v tasty n a v generous portion. Wasn't that hungry but it tasted so good I polished off the plate. We also had the eggplant parmigiana that was an appetizer as an entrees. The sauce breaded eggplant n cheese tasted good too. For appetizer portion it was quite big.. We topped off our dinner w the house special desert - New Orleans Espresso Crème Brûlée. Heavenly . The hazelnut custard w chicory n sugar crust n hazelnut crunch gelato were out of this world, yum yum. Tx u for a lovely dinner. Will be back soon. read more

What a beautiful venue! Stunning! Amazing!!! Just fell in love when I first entered Felina! Great bar area! Nice sized restaurant! We were seated immediately and ordered the most delicious cocktails! Started off well! Out came focaccia with pickled eggplant and marinated olives! Yum!!! Guess that was the highlight! They stopped by about 10 times for our food order...ok. We chose multiple appys. The arancini was good, as were the meatballs and calamari. Would not order the mussels again, not a fan with mixed small/large ones and a couple didn't open well. Appys which were obviously going to be split among our table of 5 didn't include serving spoons either which I thought strange. Entrees were just ok. Chicken Milanese was dry and lacked seasoning. Cacio e Pepe was good. Two specials were ok. My salmon was a beautiful piece, but just rather flavorless. I've never had to ask for salt or pepper at a restaurant, but most of us did. Anyway, worst part was that after we ordered, it was nearly impossible to get a server despite the restaurant having a significant number of empty tables. We couldn't get someone for water... or utensils... or really anything! It became the joke of the night. Will be back for a drink at the bar... easier for better service and to enjoy their wonderful ambiance with an amazing drink! read more

We were nearby and wanted to stop in for some drinks but also it needed to have a festive vibe. This place popped up. Great decision. A large open well decorated space. The food and the drinks were excellent. It was pretty busy but we found a reservation. I will bring the family here next year. I'm always looking for festive places to take my mostly adult children. Never knew about this place until today read more

Came here last night for a friend's birthday - party of 7. Located at the old Sunmit hotel which appears redecorated ( haven't been in manhattan many years since I was there for a work Christmas function) There is a parking lot to the left side of the entrance if you are facing the building - otherwise if you enter on the right side of will either take you to the back of the hotel or you can drive up the drive up that passes the front and end up in the parking lot that I originally spoke about. The restaurant is located at the bottom level as soon as you walk inside . Big bar and has a casual bar area with high top tables. There are two other areas for dining but most people were casual or work casual . Few of us were dressed up like us which I was a little surprised. Staff is excellent . They tend to you as soon as you walk in. And any issues you have - they try their best to fix it. We had issues with cold air blowing over our table and I think the table needed adjusting but they fixed that for us!!! Cocktail menu only has 4-5 options which I was surprised but they have a full bar and can make majority of options. I tried the cocktail if the week which was like a fall brandy apple cider. It was good and light. Others had cosmos made. Complimentary focaccia bread with olive oil , olives and delicious pickled eggplant I believe. We started with the Arancini and calamari . The Arancini balls were ok - not a fave. The calamari was pretty good. I had the chicken Milanese which was ok. I also had the rigatoni bolognese and that was amazing. Fresh. Others had the shrimp scampi pasta which I tried and was good!l, the lasagna which was good. Two others also orders the lobster diablo for two - comes out with flames which was cool - it was good but I loved my rigatoni better as far as flavor . Just my opinion. I shared the cannoli - which was ok for me. Others had the mouse which was good and very rich . Gelato pistachio didn't really taste like pistachio and not my thing but I also just came back from having gelato in Rome and Venice so I am tainted sorry to say. I enjoyed the ambience and the service. Love the ceiling light fixtures . Love that open kitchen . Love the lights and the back hangout space near the bathroom. Bathroom is nice and big with big stalls. Live keyboard music playing on a Thursday night Oh reservations were 530pm and hardly anyone at first then suddenly packed for dinner. Must be busy on a weekend. read more

Came for dinner on a Friday night and the restaurant was packed. It is nicely decorated, but loud and a massive space. Our waitress was great, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu (gave good recommendations), but she needed more help/staff. We had to ask for water refills a few times and had to wait a while when our entrees arrived to get utensils (which had been cleared after the appetizers and never replaced). The food was good, with some dishes being better than others. We started with the arancini, margherita pizza and calamari. All 3 were tasty and I would eat them again. I liked that the calamari came with both the traditional marinara sauce as well as an aioli. For entrees we tried the branzino and the cod puttanesca. The branzino was cooked nicely but overall lackluster and I don't think the tomatoes paired well with it. I would not order it again. The cod was tasty and I liked everything on the plate, I would have just liked a bigger portion. The food overall is good, but does not stand out from other restaurants and it is not inexpensive by any means. If you live in the area perhaps it is a good option but I do not feel obliged to go back. read more

Good service and very friendly staff. I wish I could say the same for the food! Pizza underneath not cooked and greasy, Lettuce was old, our pasta dishes were very plan and noddles undercooked and cheap wine selection by the glass. Pretty sad when your son's chicken fingers and fries were the best thing we ordered! read more

Food is mediocre at best. Went 2 separate times to see if it was a one time thing and both very subpar. Beautiful setting

I love this place! Have gone here so many time since they have opened up. Every time the food is great and so is the service. Everything is so good from the eggplant, pizza, pastas to the desserts! The ambiance is amazing and the bar is almost always packed. Highly recommend if you are in the area, so glad this has opened up, a gem to have in town. read more

They tried giving me leftover pizza that someone else ordered. When headed to the bathroom, the hosts and manager said I forgot my pizza. I never ordered any pizza. Why do I want someone else's leftover pizza? When I got back to my table, all my drinks were gone. I was still working on my food. Terrible service. Food was so average. I don't recommend at all. I usually like their specials but after this terrible service I received, I'm done. And I've been a regular. read more

Exactly the type of space Summit needs. We've been here at least 12+ times. Bartenders and drinks consistent. But last few times food hasn't been good. Mussels overcooked and rock hard.

Went here last night with another couple . Located in the old Summit Hotel. Has plenty of parking. We had drinks at home because read drinks were weak, but my wife did have a drink at restaurant she said was very good . Space is absolutely beautiful. They do have a problem with the setting sun shining on its diners. Great bar. Open kitchen design. Service was great. Food was hit and miss. For appetizers we shared margherita pizza, tempura calamari and a Caesar salad. Pizza was good, not great. Uneven covering of cheese. Calamari was good and Caesar salad was meh. For mains our friends shared branzino and said it was good but under seasoned. My wife and I shared the veal parmigiana on the bone. Definitely enough for two. However it wasn't very good. Wasn't pounded thin and overly breaded. Breading was just falling off . Sauce was a bit like jarred sauce and spaghetti it was served over was gummy. Definitely pass on this dish. Honestly I think it's a better destination for a drink at the bar and an appetizer. read more

Service could be a bit better with someone else's dessert dropped on our table before dinner was served and other tables entrees magically appeared on our table. But that's ok.

I was highly impressed with this place. For starters, the quality of food was excellent. From the bread they give the table, to the apps we ordered, to the main course, all excellent. Specifically I will say the white clam pizza was fantastic. And I further appreciated the generosity of an entire bottle of limoncello as an aperitif, plus cookies for the road! The atmosphere was great and the maitre D of the hotel where it's located, Tom is his name, was a very friendly man. But there's more... I must point out a subtle but important thing this place did that sold it for me. Unfortunately, the couple we went with is notorious for being late. The husband was an hour and fifteen minutes late so we sat there occupying valuable table space. The waiter did not complain and the restaurant did not try to rush us out of there. For that, I must give them "extra credit". What a great place, we WILL be back! read more

Wonderful service from a friendly knowledgeable and professional staff. Ask for Jason he was attentive and gave great suggestions. Loved meeting the pastry chef, Jen who created a stellar way to end the night with a large shareable cannoli. I love it when the owner stops by the table to chat and Jeannie Cretella was just delightful, grateful and engaging. This is a great place to stop by and enjoy a reasonably priced delicious light meal. The ambiance was spot on creative and it was a great date night for us! We loved it so much we booked an event for the Spring! Give it a try I bet you will go back!! read more
