" What a delightful experience! Scalinatella impresses from both a culinary and service perspective. I've tried many high-end restaurants, but the genuine warmth here stood out. Our waiter was knowledgeable and helped us navigate through the specials, which were mouthwatering. A memory I will cherish! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for a genuine taste of Italy, Scalinatella is the place! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the food was authentic, and you can tell the staff truly care about the diners' experience. Their wine selection complemented our meal beautifully. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience did not live up to the hype. The food was decent, but nothing memorable. The service was acceptable at best. To add to my disappointment, I found the noise level to be quite distracting. I was expecting an authentic Italian dining environment; instead, I felt rushed and overlooked. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I was introduced to this place years ago and it has been consistently amazing! I love the calamari and the red sauce is out of this world. Great for a date or a family gathering. Keep the reservations in mind though—it gets packed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Scalinatella is a classic Italian restaurant with charm that feels reminiscent of Europe. But I have mixed feelings about my last meal—the food was competent, especially the osso buco, but the service left something to be desired. It felt a bit rushed, and I was disappointed with the lack of menu transparency regarding pricing on specials. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love exploring Italian restaurants, and Scalinatella delivered! The service was attentive, and the atmosphere made for a lovely evening. My only complaint was the price. However, I don’t mind paying for quality, and this meal didn't disappoint. I'll surely be back when in NYC! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I stepped into Scalinatella, I was captivated by the romantic ambiance—soft lighting and an intimate setup that makes you feel special. The food, especially the truffle pasta, was divine. Each bite brought out authentic flavors reminiscent of my travels in Italy. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
