    It’s hard to make spaghetti Bolognese and a Caprese salad inedible, but Daniela’s managed to do it. The beef sauce had the whiff and taste of old, defrosted meat while the Caprese salad had two slabs of unripe tomato and mozzarella “cheese” that was nearly curdled. The basil was brown, and there were three sad olives that seemed to have been dredged out of the bottom of a jar that was long forgotten in the back of the refrigerator. I’ve rarely been in a situation where I’m paying a decent amount for a meal and actually afraid the food would make me sick. Steer clear of this place!!!

    First time at Daniela’s Everybody was extremely friendly and anxious to make the experience pleasant. The food is delicious and we had trouble deciding on what to order because so many offerings looked enticing. The minestrone soup was a meal in itself, though one of us had it as an appetizer. It’s with delicious fresh chunks of vegetables. The pasta has fresh tomato sauce. The chicken piccata was over the moon and two people shared it. Our table was on the second floor and the atmosphere was inviting. The prices were unbelievable- so reasonable for a multi course meal of this quality!

    What a wonderful experience! The food was exceptional, portions right in line with the price. The staff was truly one of the hardest working people I have ever seen. This will definitely be a regular stop every time I visit New York.

    Place is not fine dining. Food was average. Had ravioli with pancetta. Mango margarita was very good. Ok place to go after an afternoon show.

    Went before our Broadway Show and definitely will go back. The food was really good- I ordered Chicken Franchise. Service is phenomenal, our waiter was quick, patient and cheerful. I’d recommend eating there to family & friends!

    Food was great. Service was brisk towards the end and we were asked to leave. Bathroom needs a total renovation for our restaurant of this level.
