About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Romantic
Charming

Scalini Fedeli was opened by chef-owner Michael Cetrulo in 1995 and very quickly became New Jersey's highest rated Italian restaurant. Rated excellent by the New York Times in 1996 and New Jersey's favorite restaurant in Zagat's Survey in 2001 and New Jersey Monthly's best Italian and top 25 overall in 2007. Highlights from the menu include soft egg yolk raviolo with black truffle butter, pignoli crusted salmon with artichoke and mint agnolotti in a light tomato and basil broth and braised short ribs of beef with a cherry pepper and port glaze. Set in an historic building built in 1740, the atmosphere is slightly formal with Tuscan style vaulted ceilings finished with Venetian plaster. Tapestry and antique mirrors adorn the walls.

Everything was very good until after dinner. Our server offered us coffee/tea but never brought around an after dinner drink list or offered to. I was in the mood for an after dinner drink and all the sever brought was the check. Guess they wanted us out of there.

Fantastic food and service. Wonderful experience from beginning to end. It’s quite expensive but for a special occasion where you don’t mind a splurge it can’t be beat.

Wonderful dining experience for our group of 5 - three of whom were first timers. Staff was wonderfully accommodating for a dairy-free meal and recommended a truly affordable option for a great wine. Service was attentive but never hovering.

Waiters was very anxious and sparse and rigid. Ambience was nice but old, curtains need to be upgraded to something more modern. Staff need to be more welcoming. It was my husband’s 60th birthday and I requested happy 60th birthday to be on the desert plate but disappointingly they just ignored or forgot to conform. Overall, it was nice but for a 300.00 bill I may not return.

I can't believe thst people can go to such an elegant restaurant and carry on a conversation as loud as a Rolling Stones Concert. The inconsiderateness of these induviduals is disturbing and I can appreciate there is little that management can do about it. But maybe people will read this and think what an absolute idiot they were for acting like a bunch of 4 year olds in public. The restaurant, food staff, etc. are all the absolute best in this entire area.

Wonderful birthday dinner for four of us. The place was welcoming, food was delicious and chairs were comfortable. This Italian Restaurant is the best in the area for sure. Our server Dan was spot on professional with a great attitude.
