There were a lot of regulars there and the staff was very friendly joking around the entire time. I had the corned beef and hash with eggs which included a side of buttered toast and potatoes. The corned beef hash was good and they cooked the eggs the way I requested it, which I appreciated. The potatoes were sadly bland and mushy so they needed salt and ketchup to taste like anything. The total bill was around $15 which was reasonable for the amount of food but it's cash only so don't forget to bring some!

I can tell that the batter was decent, but not well seasoned. Typically, great french toast for me has a moist, rich center and this was fairly dry and only had the subtle flavor of the batter/custard. I also ordered a side of scrambled eggs and that was the best part of my meal - the eggs were fresh and tasted as I expected. The service was attentive. I was here somewhat early on a Sunday morning and there were only four other customers, so it wasn't difficult to get a table. If I went back, I'd try other items on the menu.

The limoncello was simply divine, and the spaghetti Bolognese and short rib ravioli were both out of this world--rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.

Then there was our waiter, Cem, he had a great presence, was very knowledgeable, and treated us like royalty! He made the entire experience worth coming back for. If you're looking for authentic Italian food with incredible flavors and impeccable execution, Da Andrea is a must-visit but you have to ask to be seated with Cem!! Can't wait to come back!

Service was great and super fast. The bread basket was filled with a nice fresh sesame seed-coated bread, and I enjoyed that to start. The star is definitely their off menu vodka chicken parm, which lived up to all the hype! The chicken is pounded extremely thin and gets nice and crispy, with a generous coating of cheese and vodka sauce that gets topped with penne alla vodka! It's decadent and was a really memorable dish. It wasn't super crowded on a weeknight but they do take reservations in advance which is helpful. The inside space looked very nice but I enjoyed sitting outside on their patio to do some people watching on the street.

He hasn't yet met the girl! Haha. I had a great pizza and a nice time that concluded my Sunday loving the Whitney, walking the Highline and beyond, digging the soccer fans from around the world, the Knicks fans, and viewing Maybe Happy Endings.

The birthday celebrant had been wanting to…read moretry this restaurant, and bonus was the Sunday Supper Prix Fixe menu. $45 for one appetizer, one entree and one glass of wine. Beautiful space and attentive staff. It is a little dark to see the menu and in certain areas the music from the speakers is a little loud, to the point the staff occasionally had trouble hearing what we were saying. Amazing food and great portions. The birthday celebrant was very happy she chose this restaurant! Minor cons: 1. we were asked if we want bread for the table, said yes, it never arrived. 2. We were all served our apps except one person. Her salad was forgotten in the kitchen and it took a few minutes to see the waiter to let him know. The wine options were either FELICE ROSÉ FELICE CHARDONNAY FELICE SANGIOVESE. 3 of us had the rosé, the other 2 had the chardonnay (and we each were happy with our selections). I like that the rosé was still and not too sweet. For my app I had the GAMBERI , VONGOLE E FAGIOLI (sautéed shrimp and Manila clams w Cannellini beans. It is in like a broth that you can soak up the bread in that it comes with. For my main I went with the SALMONE medium-rare. (oven-roasted Faroe Islands pepper crusted salmon, black beluga lentils, braised swiss chard). I posted some pictures of some of the other dishes at our table. I had a taste of the FETTUCCINE ALLA BOLOGNESE and it was amazing! The pasta tastes so fresh. We somehow made room to each order gelato and/or sorbet. I chose a scoop of chocolate and a scoop of pistachio. I had a small taste of the hazelnut gelato that someone ordered and it had a slight frozen taste to it, so I'm glad I didn't order that one. (She said she liked the hazelnut.)

I visited Felice on the Hudson with a friend without a reservation and was pleasantly surprised…read morethat we were seated right away with no issue. We were quickly brought menus and a bottle of water, and the experience started off smoothly. We both decided to do the Restaurant Week special, which was $45 per person and felt like a great value for the amount and quality of food. To start, I ordered the calamari and artichokes, which were perfectly fried with a nice, crispy coating and a deep, savory flavor. It came with half a lemon and a mayo-based dipping sauce that paired really well. The portion was very generous, honestly so big I couldn't even finish it. My friend got the tricolor salad and said it was fresh and enjoyable. For the mains, I got the cacio e pepe, which was creamy, rich, and indulgent exactly what you want from that dish. It was simple but done really well. My friend ordered the chicken Milanese, and trying it together with everything on the plate really elevated the experience. it was one of those dishes that just works perfectly when eaten as intended. For dessert, I got the chocolate cake while my friend ordered the tiramisu. The cake was a bit dense since it was gluten-free, but still rich and satisfying, especially with the ice cream on top. The tiramisu was definitely the standout the mascarpone was light, airy, and perfectly balanced, making it my favorite of the two. We didn't have just one dedicated waiter, as a few different staff members helped us throughout the meal, but service was still attentive and efficient. The ambiance inside has a red-toned, dark, moody feel that makes it a really nice spot for a cozy dinner.

The fries are a better version of McDonalds (the highest compliment). We also got the bar steak, trout, confit, and half chicken, Of course, the profiteroles for dessert. Do not skip these! Great martinis, great service - an awesome restaurant to visit in Meatpacking!

We ordered the duck confit, moules frites, and escargot. The escargot was flavorful and tender, served piping hot. I got a little impatient and burned my mouth, but it was worth it. The moules frites was also excellent. The mussels were cooked perfectly, and the light citrusy broth was so delicious that I almost wanted to ask for a spoon just to drink it. The duck confit was the only dish that fell a bit short for me. While the duck itself was cooked well, the flavor did not stand out much, and it was slightly too salty for my taste. Overall, a great spot with a fun atmosphere.
