Modern and eclectic Italian with a distinct French influence

When visualizing Italian cooking we think of traditional, hot boiling casseroles, pasta pouring from everywhere and “nana” well into her endeavors with salami hanging from the ceiling. Scalini Fedeli has transformed this into a statement. Situated in Tribeca this establishment is quickly becoming famous for exceptional cuisine. The interior is graceful and dramatic with vaulted ceilings, turn-of-the century antiques, and romantic works of art evoking a distinctly Tuscan feel. On top of all this, a mention of Scalini Fedeli’s impeccable service creates the recipe for a unique and memorable dining experience.

With his exceptional standards and formal training in some of the finest Michelin-rated restaurants in Europe, Michael Cetrulo set out to create a modern and eclectic dining experience. Grounded in Italian roots but highlighted by distinctive French influences, Scalini Fedeli manages to set Cetrulo’s culinary vision against the backdrop of an inviting and elegantly designed dining room.
