Ariellas Restaurant — Restaurant in New York

Update Review: May 4, 2025 - Ariella's restaurant is what I hope every other restaurant would strive to become; after hearing about our imperfect experience, they took our criticism to heart and drastically improved everything we critiqued. This time around, the buffalo chicken dip was juicy and tender, which is evident in the picture! It's the perfect appetizer that I can imagine eating while watching the Super Bowl; it was flavorful, tender, creamy, and the amount of shredded chicken was plentiful. The coffee-rubbed ribeye was cooked perfectly medium rare this time, and paired with their soy glazed Brussel sprouts was the definition of perfection. This experience is what I always knew Ariella's restaurant is capable of, ever since our first time dining with them. Not only did they surpass our expectations, but they also respected our voice and took the steps to perfect their minor imperfections, exemplary of what exquisite dining looks like. We look forward to coming back to try the many more new additions to their ever evolving menu! Definitely give them a try and I promise you won't regret it! (Please consider adding the Lolipop lamb chops to the regular menu!)

Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

Older review: The loli-pop lamb chops were by far the best dish we had at Ariella; the soy brussel sprouts were so incredibly rich and flavorful that it was the best brussel sprouts we ever had! The lamb chops were also plentiful, delicious, and cooked perfectly medium rare! The chicken vodka parm was also very tasty and creamy, a perfect balance! I definitely recommend trying them and I hope Ariella will consider putting both on their regular menu since these were from the Easter Dinner menu. (:

Older Review: January 2025 - A great new addition to Staten Island. The zucchini fries were delicious but the breading fell apart quite easily, which should be an easy fix! The steak was delicious and cooked perfectly, which we highly recommend! The burger was incredibly rich which can be nauseating for some due to how sweet and heavy it is. Our least favorite were the corn casserole appetizer and the grit which was a bit on the blander side of things. Overall it was a good experience and would definitely come back to see how much they improve since when we went they were just opened for less than a week. Can't wait to give Ariella the 5* I know they are capable of!

Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Ariella’s, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the evening.

The service was nothing short of exceptional. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in to ensure we had everything we needed.

Now, let’s talk about the food! Every dish we ordered was a masterpiece. From the appetizers to the desserts, each bite was bursting with flavor and creativity. I highly recommend trying the salmon & the skirt steak! Dessert was unmatched.. the bacon maple icecream- no words! Outrageous!

The drink menu was equally impressive. We tried a few cocktails, and each one was expertly crafted, balancing flavors perfectly. It’s clear that the bar team knows their craft and is passionate about providing an outstanding beverage experience.

The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience. The decor was stylish yet comfortable, creating a perfect setting for both a casual dinner or a special celebration.

Overall 10/10! Excellent service, delicious food, and delightful drinks come together to create an extraordinary dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and pay a visit—you won’t be disappointed! I can’t wait to go back and try more of the incredible offerings. Bravo to Billy, Chef J Ron and the entire team for a job...

Dude, Ariella’s was off the charts. It’s our new go to place.

First pic is a drink. lol can’t remember the name but look at how stunning it is and it tasted as good as it looks. Second pic is that drink and Jen, my wife. Third pic was a soup trio sampler of tomato, onion and broccoli soups and the other is a bang bang shrimp. Sooo good. What a great idea for a soup sampler. Next drink was called the butterfly Jen and her butterfly drink. Next picture is my dinner which was a linguine Alfredo with twin lobster tails and six perfectly grilled shrimp covered in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. Behind that is Jen’s dish which is a Cajun chicken and Cajun shrimp pasta dish. Both dishes were plentiful and delicious. And we ended with two dessert drinks one which was a deconstructed tiramisu, and the other was a Reese’s pieces chocolate martini. Everything was delicious. My only knock would be the lobster tails were slightly over salted, But not where i can say anything or lessen the rating. The owner, Billy, Was tending the bar and making all the drinks. He took time to chat with us and was extremely friendly. His front of the house greeter/seater/server, Danny, was also very nice and offered recommendations to us. That dude was working hard. I cant wait to go back, oh and the prices are excellent. Two apps, two main courses and 6 drinks was only 168. I’ll be gng back for lunch, happy hour and dinner very soon and you...
