Let me just say I'm a huge gourmand. How to begin? Recently, on business I visited Scalinatella in New York City. Now I am orginally from Tokyo but have been to NY a ton of instances. My family and I enjoy the uniqueness of dining establishments. Everyone in that restaurant was so awesome!The Dining area is modern and lovely. The meal was excellent. The entrees came out extremely fast. One of our gripes would be the plating was not that incredible. It was fine however didn't offer you that amaze factor. Among the two or 3 starters & Two main courses we ordered, We would rate 3 as wonderful & 1 as very good Amazing food! The price was basically just what we all estimated although perhaps a few bucks too overpriced. We had a good night! So refreshing with there being a great number of NYC dining places that are poor. I'm a massive lover of the place. We will certainly be soon.
