Master Critic Review

Felice 56 8.1
Midtown East
A refined Tuscan wine bar-restaurant with a warm, art-forward dining room and a crowd that skews local. Pastas and grilled mains hit the classic notes with careful sourcing, and the by-the-glass list is a real asset. Works equally well for lingering dinners or a civilized aperitivo stop.
Must-Try Dishes: Pappardelle with ragù, Bistecca tagliata, Burrata with seasonal vegetables
