Went for lunch today. Horrible service, couldn't get anyone's attention. Finally got our food and it was cold. Carbonara had zero flavor, and the bacon was very undercooked. Used to LOVE it here, gone downhill a lot.

I was looking forward to enjoying a diner at Felice on Saturday night. And had made the reservation to decide if this would be the spot for a large group dinner with some out-of-town friends I and my husband are planning in the next few weeks. This would be our first visit to Felice. We arrived about 15 minutes ahead of our 6pm Saturday reservation. I approached the host stand and provided my name and reservation time (I had made the reservation a week earlier thru Resy). In response, the hostess said she did not see any reservation and asked again for my name, and then my phone number. As she flipped thru her tablet I stood by quietly. She again indicated she saw no reservation - at this point I was able to look around the restaurant and saw numerous two-tops empty along with several seats at the bar - I asked if she wanted to see my Resy confirmation, she didn't respond. Thinking she might not have heard me I asked again. Her response was rude, essentially telling me to be quiet while she looked thru her tablet. Another colleague approached and after some discussion, the initial hostess said she had seated someone under my reservation accidentally. Thinking that was the end of it, I said, "ok, so can you seat us?". I was again met with silence, and a nasty look from the hostess - mind you this whole exchange took perhaps five minutes. Finally another employee approached and said we have a table for you. We were seated and thought we could enjoy a quiet dinner. After about ten minutes at the table a waitress approached and told us the kitchen couldn't make any hot food, and only cold items (i.e. salads) were available. At this point we just left the restaurant. I normally don't write negative reviews, but this was a horrible experience. The nasty, rude and dismissive behavior of the front of house person was unacceptable, unprofessional and a poor representation of any business. We left the restaurant and spied across the street an old favorite, Polpette 71. We walked in, without a reservation, were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. The staff were gracious and friendly. The food was delicious, and much more favorably priced than Felice. At the end of the meal we made our group reservation at Polpette 71 and are comfortable we and our friends will receive an excellent meal accompanied by great service. Felice should be ashamed of our experience and others should pay heed.

Nice ambiance and basement lounge seating is the best- great decor and not too loud to have a conversation. We tried Ravioli and gnocchi which were both great! Would defo come back

Mediocre Italian fare. Pasta was cold with too many ingredients to make it special. My guest order a burger. It came well done even though medium rare was requested. It was returned and the second burger arrived practically raw. I gave up. I would not return

Our favorite place in the neighborhood. Cannot praise it enough. Cosy atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food. Crostini Toscani and Frutti De Mare pasta two if my personal favorites.

The ultimate neighborhood glommerTheir outdoor footprint takes up most the sidewalk.They are not friendly to the people in the neighborhood that are trying to get by with strollers, older folks with walkers, or dogs .Somehow WE are inconveniencing them as we walk our block.They park their spare tables and chairs that are NOT in use in PUBLIC PARKING spaces that are for the public and for residents of the neighborhood - as if their outdoor structure isn’t already taking up enough room.The pasta is ok at bestWay undercooked and when we sent it back, the manager came out to disagree and argue that that is how pasta should be cooked (?) … never seen that happen beforeWay better, and nicer establishments in the neighborhood with much better food

Full disclosure only came here for drinks. You must ask for Dan he is not only incredibly friendly, but is a great bartender. Fun atmosphere I've eaten at the one downtown in the financial district and it's very good so I assume the food is pretty good here as well.

Anatella was our waitress last night. We were outside and she was coming back and forth in the POURING rain with a true smile and good nature. It would have been so easy and understandable for her to be miserable but she was awesome. Thank you!

Had the most amazing experience at Felice last night. My friend and I came in with no reservation and the Manager, Adrian, found us room at the bar and he made sure we had the best time! The bartenders Danny and Miguel were Great!! Definitely did not disappoint and will be back !! Thank you again Adrian!

This place is always top notch in terms of kid friendliness, attentive weight staff, excellent food, and very quick service. We usually stop by around 11am on a Sunday and get seated right away.Kid-friendliness: High chair, good brunch sides for little kids.

We visited Felice Columbus on 3/2/24 to celebrate a birthday in the private dining area downstairs, and had a wonderful experience! The food was amazing! We ordered well over half the menu as a group, and not a single person had a complaint! 5 stars all around on the food! Our server was attentive and had a great attitude. We always had fresh plates and silverware when needed, the table was cleared between each course, and our drinks were never empty! Lastly, the private dinning area down stairs was perfect for a group of 10. It was a delightful setting within the wine cellar. The area was absolutely perfect!

Popped in for a late lunch on a very rainy Saturday and sat at the bar. The vibe was super chill and I loved the music they were playing. The bar is very easy on the eyes. I wanted the food to be better though. I had a glass of red and the pizzette. The sauce was full of flavor but the crust killed the vibe…flavorless, crumbly and unfortunately undesirable. I would give it a second chance though. Just don’t get the pizzette.

We had a lovely Dinner at Felice 71 on Columbus last night. This popular Italian/Continental restaurant has nicely spaced tables and while lively, it was easy to have a conversation. We split the Tricolore salad to start which was delicious and plenty for two. We also shared some Broccoli Rabe and a combo Fried Artichoke/Calamari dish which was unique and flavorful. For entrees my friend had the Chicken Pomodoro which he enjoyed and I had the Grilled Salmon which was cooked perfectly. Maria our server, was observant and helpful. Overall an excellent meal and I would recommend.
