Scalini Fedeli was opened by chef-owner Michael Cetrulo in 1995 and very quickly became New Jersey's highest rated Italian restaurant. Rated excellent by the New York Times in 1996 and New Jersey's favorite restaurant in Zagat's Survey in 2001 and New Jersey Monthly's best Italian and top 25 overall in 2007. Highlights from the menu include soft egg yolk raviolo with black truffle butter, pignoli crusted salmon with artichoke and mint agnolotti in a light tomato and basil broth and braised short ribs of beef with a cherry pepper and port glaze. Set in an historic building built in 1740, the atmosphere is slightly formal with Tuscan style vaulted ceilings finished with Venetian plaster. Tapestry and antique mirrors adorn the walls.

Our family use to dine at this restaurant every week years ago. We recently moved back to the area and were excited to return. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. We felt that the bread was of poor quality as was the butter. It was not a quality bread. The beet and goat cheese salad had too much salt in it and the dressing was overall not very good. The salmon was overpowered by its sauce. For dessert we ordered the chocolate soufflé. It was a soufflé in name only. It was dense and heavy and was not a soufflé. The coffee was cold. Overall, in my opinion a mediocre to poor showing.

The food was fantastic. Unfortunately the service did not match. They were rushing and service was terrible. They brought the next course before they cleared the plates from the previous course. It felt like they were throwing the food on the table and then running away. Then they cleared before my wife finished her plate. Did not even ask. Just took her plate away. It’s unfortunate because the food was truly delicious. Everything we had was flavorful. Definitely recommend for the food.

Food was very good. The service was sufficient but far from “fine dining” service. I have a 4 year degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management and worked in the Hamptons in a few of the South fork’s best restaurants so I have a background that enables me to say this. Everything was just “ very good” not “great” Two glasses of wine and a bottle of pelligrino vand the tasting menu with a few “upgrades” and bill with 20% tip was 267$. Not the best 267$ I’ve spent on a dinner for two. 3 Stars is the best I can give.
