- PPeterLondon •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoExcellent little restaurant in Chelsea, chosen from an Open table search and reviews. Chosen to celebrate our daughter's 18th birthday in NYC. Seasonal decor, we were well looked after from arrival, the host and staff went out of their way to make our daughter's birthday special. The food was excellent and I would categorize it as Italian American, so Italian with flare. Portions were large but food quality and presentation was of the highest standard, we even found a wine that didn't break the bank, our waitress was lovely and attentive. We were lucky we found this little gem of a restaurant.More infoDa Andrea - ChelseaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Chelsea•4.5
- MMeganNorthwest Florida •23 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had an amazing dinner experience last night. Our waitress Kathy, from Venezuela, was one of the best parts of our evening. She was in tuned to our needs, knowledge of the menu and drinks, and very charismatic. Our meal was delicious, I got the spaghetti and the addition of baratta cheese was fantastic. The atmosphere was the icing on the cake. I felt like we were in some far away land. The twinkle lights, the trees, it was magical.More infoSerra by Birreria - Eataly NYC FlatironPrice: Expensive• Italian• Gramercy Park•4.3

Discover Chelsea
The premier arts district of NYC, Chelsea’s dining scene is refreshingly low-key—a nice counterpoint to the world-renowned galleries. The nearby High Line has brought more foot traffic to the formerly quiet industrial area, and the influx of energy is reflected in the new crop of restaurants. Get a bite or nosh at one of the buzzing coffee shops or acclaimed tapas spots. For heartier fare, affordable Mexican, messy pulled pork sandos, and raved-about ramen round out the best of the casual options. Good taste isn’t just for the art world, and this downtown neighborhood puts that on full display.
