🇮🇹 A Hidden Tribeca Gem: Italian Fine Dining Under $85!

Tucked away in Tribeca, Scalini Fedeli is the intimate, upscale Italian restaurant you didn’t know you needed — complete with white-tablecloth elegance and tuxedoed waitstaff, yet priced surprisingly reasonably! Their prix-fixe menu is just $89 before tax & tip and includes pasta, main, and dessert… but they also surprise you with multiple complimentary courses — we ended up with around 8 dishes total! 🎁 🆓 Complimentary Highlights: Smoked Salmon Crostini – a perfect bite on crisp-yet-soft toast. Fresh Bread Basket – sourdough and pizza-like bread with butter & olive oil. Fried Zucchini & Shrimp – simple but nicely presented. 🍝 Pasta Course Soft Egg Yolk Raviolo (+$9) – their star dish! A truffle-topped pasta purse with creamy yolk and cheese inside. Bolognese – tender pasta in classic meat sauce, solid but not standout. 🍖 Mains San Domenico – a massive, juicy pork rib (slightly salty but incredibly tender). Saggio (+$15) – tender beef, though the pork won our hearts. 🍨 Desserts Complimentary Sorbet – refreshing coconut-lime with pineapple and granola. Pistachio Tart – a must-order! Buttery crust, rich nutty filling. Chocolate Cake – skip it, nothing special. With impeccable service, generous portions, and that luxurious-but-not-bankrupt feeling, Scalini Fedeli is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or when you just want to feel fancy without the Michelin price tag. 💖 📍 Scalini Fedeli – Tribeca, NYC 💰 ~$85 per person (before tax & tip) #ScaliniFedeli #ItalianFineDining #NYCEats #PrixFixeNYC #TribecaRestaurants #DateNightNYC #HiddenGem #NYCFoodie #UpscaleOnABudget #TrufflePasta #NYCDining
