We loved everything about our Lunch. Had the Mussels in the Calabrian Chill tomato broth and we each had the chicken milanese. Our meal was delicious. Our cocktails prior to lunch were fantastic. And the atmosphere and ambiance were awesome. We will definitely be going back

Linguine carbonara was in a brown sauce instead of a cream sauce but it was delicious. Scalini Fedeli never disappoints.
