Dressed up for Halloween and fun! Great time as always. My doggie bag tasted even better the next day for lunch!
I occasionally dine at Chelsea Ristorante and this time, once again, it was the perfect venue for a delicious dinner in an old school setting with very friendly, helpful, and professional service. Their Italian food is always cooked to perfection and very well presented. The entire staff makes everyone feel welcome and the restaurant, although well attended is such that a dinner conversation can be had without shouting. This is a gem and a restaurant that I can definitely recommend.
The place was decked out in Halloween decor (spooky!) and otherwise just had a very cozy atmosphere. The food was great. We had to ask a few times for the drinks menu, but other than that, it was a great night. We were also celebrating a birthday and they helped make it a special night (and even found a non-chocolate option for our birthday guest!).
The food is both traditional and creative at times my family and I really look forward to a frequent visits,
Food was fabulous, old school Italian with attentive waiting staff and a really, really great menu. Wine great too. When you need that pasta hit, go here!
The Chelsea place for Italian! Always a good time, always great food. The friendliest staff and the best drinks in 10011!
love this place. Absolutely consistent food. Great to have 1/2 portions of pasta on the menu. Pizza's great too.
I had the pasta with crab meat tossed in a spicy tomato sauce. It was excellent, pasta was cooked perfectly, not too soft and not too hard.
Chelsea Ristorante has been in the neighborhood for many years and continues to be excellent in many many respects.
We are always taken care of warmly and professionally. Papardelle with pancetta and mushrooms was fantastic. So much and so good!
This is a long-standing neighborhood trattoria with lively skillfully prepared food. Good variety of specials, good wine selection by the glass or bottle, and unusually congenial and good humored staff. Stress "congenial" here because all members of the team are helpful and in good spirits. And the kitchen with mysterious authority produces tasty and interesting foods from pizza to elegant veal chops. Half-orders of pastas available too.
I had an excellent experience at Chelsea Ristorante! As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted by Jimmy and Nino. We were a party of 20 and we all enjoyed our meals, they have great party menus for large groups of people. The service and staff were outstanding, the food came out pretty quick,hot and delicious. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely go back and recommend to others!!
Music was blasting club music in our ear and asked waiter to turn, but manager wouldn't allow him to. Will never go here again.
The service was so outstanding in the food was absolutely delicious. Our waiter was Marco and he could not have been better!
The special spot on 8th avenue. Chelsea Ristorante is always welcoming, warm and worth it! The staff is great, the food is great and the atmosphere is great. Love this place.
Chelsea Ristorante is an exellent restaurant. Our server was very attentive, efficient and professional. The food was delicious. They have a nice selection of pasta and pizza. I would like to commend our server for excellent service. I believe his name was Brian and he lives in Plainview, LI.
My sister and I had dinner at this restaurant. The service was very good, they are very attentive. We ordered the prosciutto di Parma with melon and the fried calamari. The prosciutto was very good. The fried calamari were bland and flavorless. For dinner we ordered the prawns (shrimp) and the linguini a la puttanesca. Both dishes were EXCELLENT! The linguini a la puttanesca and the shrimps were both amazing!!
The food is very good here, but the veggie servings could be a little more ample. Service is excellent. The wine list is not that long and the wines are very overpriced. It might be a good idea to offer some wine "specials" on the weekend. $13 for a smallish glass of mediocre Sauvignon Blanc is really not wonderful. Realize it's New York, but all their prices are up and the wine is particularly egregious in this regard.
The restaurant things consistently delivers good value and is a great place for a dinner conversation.
Everything was great except for the “pork chop” that was on the dinner special that I ordered. It turned out to be two pieces of pork loin that was tasty but dry.
While the ambience was wonderful, the food was at best average. The Chicken Marsala, a special that night, was topped with tomato and mozzerella cheese, very small portion. Served with a small portion of green beans and carrots.
We had to signal for service several times, and only got attentive service when the staff believed we might want refills or dessert.
What a wonderful family run restaurant! This was our second time here and the food is consistently excellent. They even have a wood burning oven. Celebrated our son’s 19th birthday dinner last night and our server (Donny) went out of his way to make it memorable and special. 🎉We can’t wait to go back! 😊
My friend and I both found the food mediocre. I had the chicken eggplant dish and the chicken was over cooked and the eggplant barely present. The tomato sauce was good.
Who needs trendy when there’s a place like this where the food is consistently delicious and the service is excellent. Had the chicken Marsala which was delectable and the special, a duck ragu with homemade pappardelle, to die for. Our server, Marco, was wonderful, and even brought delicious cookies when we were too full for dessert. This is one of our go to places when we are in NY and a favorite of friends who live there.
