Fellini Coffee Soho — Restaurant in New York

If you are looking for the perfect place to enjoy a meal that is authentic in every way, this is the place to be. In stark contrast to upscale shops that charge a premium for an “over engineered” meal in various parts of SoHo, Fellini’s has to be among the best coffee shops in the city and North America and truly stands out with it’s homemade recipes.

The Pistachio Paradiso was perfectly balanced, incorporating an original recipe of real crushed pistachios and a bold aromatic coffee. The very subtle pistachio cream on the edge of the cup was a final touch contributed undertones to the already delicious coffee making for one of the best coffees you can find, period. It wasn’t overly sweetened and it was well thought out, I highly recommend it.

Being someone who loves tiramisu and has tried it in several restaurants across the world, this one tastes just like the one the nonna who lives next door made me some years ago for christmas. It’s not overly sweetened, it’s presentation is neat, the cocoa isn’t overloaded on top, the mascarpone is perfectly layered. It’s the perfect size, not leaving you feeling as though you over paid and want more nor does it feel like it’s too much following a meal. Rather, It invites you to return, with certainty, another day to savour it while in NYC.

While enjoying my meal, I could smell the bruschetta across the restaurant, and I ordered one some time after. Although I was not planning on ordering more, I felt as though I should and I am very thankful I did. It was exceptionally savoury with excellent use of fresh bread, perfectly crispy, not too hard. Sweet cherry tomatoes topped with rosemary, bold in their flavour making for a taste of home in every bite.

The facility is very clean, the music better than the vast majority of coffee shops, the lighting excellent and the decor classy, the perfect ambience for anyone looking to enjoy a nice...

Whenever I step inside Fellini, I feel like I’m transported to Italy without the hassle of air travel. No need for a passport, but the coffee here is definitely beyond the average cup of joe in New York City.

Quality is the key ingredient and the space, and especially the service are what set Fellini apart and makes them the best above the rest.

The space is intimate, cozy, with a refined sophistication; the Carrara marble bar countertops and the wood paneling are just plain sexy.

The space alone would be enough to provide a break from the hectic pace of City life, but the staff always prepare orders with an extra attention so you’re getting the best cup of coffee every time you order. I’ve been lucky enough to have Lina and her crew turn out some really delicious coffee on my visits and I was especially enamored by the seasonal Pistachio Paradiso on my most recent visit…beyond decadence with a rich but smooth caffeinated kick from each sip.

A perfect place to break away from the doldrums of the day and revive your spirit in a welcoming and warm...

The atmosphere is beautiful, lovely spot with pretty decoration.

The service I experienced was very poor though. The blonde waitress (Sarah?) who served me was clearly in a rush to get to her break. Took my order, was already running off before I could even ask for food. I wasn’t able to order hot food due to a broken oven, which is fine, but instead of providing non-heated alternatives like a croissant, she was already gone. Also did not care to wipe my table until I explicitly asked for it.

After all that, she forgot my order completely (and did not bring any water).

So I was sitting there for a good while, and when I eventually got up and told the barista that they had forgotten my order, she responded “I didn’t forget anything”. Insane.

Full on disaster experience, I’ll never...
