   Bar & drinks, ambience, live music and scene all 5 out of 5 Lively, energetic, happening city vibe, all 5 out of 5 Table wait staff attentive , responsive and friendly, 5 out of 5 Food, mediocre and overall disappointing for it's price range. Aside the food, we had a wonderful time. Eggplant Parmigiana - good taste but a tad mushy Salmon & Tuna Crudo - would have been great if there was less/no BBQ sauce on it Tempura Fried Calamari - Over fried to dark brown, almost burnt ugh. Margherita Pizza - best dish of the evening Chicken Scarpariello - chicken was tender but the sauce a bit confusing Maple Brined Pork Chop - inedible, overcooked and tough, smothered it too much of the very sweet fig & grape reduction Pan Seared Scallops - inedible. the overcooked scallops were overpowered by the almost burnt nduja toasted almond coating fried chili oil. Crispy Skin Salmon - very good, skin was crispy, cooked correctly and dish was well balanced

   Hey Gianmarco; Thank you for the 4-star review! It's always a pleasure to hear when our guests appreciate the unique experience we're striving to provide. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, we are very sorry to see that we fell short for you on food and value though. I will definitely be sharing and discussing with our Executive Chef your view on your meal from last night, certainly not happy to hear this, our pizza should not be the best dish of the evening. I am happy to hear you so enjoyed our service and ambiance. We look forward to welcoming you back to Felina - Ridgewood soon! And should there ever be anything we or I can do to make things even better, especially while you are here, please don't hesitate to ask for me. Sincere Regards. Frank and the team at Felina

   Supposed to be a family Thanksgiving dinner at what was hoped to be an upscale restaurant. Price fixe limited, published menu. After ordering and expecting our meals the waiter informs us they’re out of the items 2 of our party ordered. Disappointed we order 2 other items we were not thrilled about. Those come out and then they’re out of one our anticipated sides . Food lacked taste. No one checked on our drinks during the meals. No offer of coffee with dessert. Therefore a good diner might have been a better choice especially paying what we did. Everyone left very disappointed.

   I'll never know if the place is good or bad. We walked in and immediately knew there was a problem because the noise level was excruciatingly loud. We sat for 5 minutes screaming at each other and left. I have no clue how they stay in business. As a point of reference, I go to a lot of loud rock concerts and have no problem with high volume. I just don't expect it at a fine dining restaurant.

   Thanks for visiting us, Hank. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience at Felina - Ridgewood. We understand that the noise level was a bit too high, and we apologize for the discomfort caused.

   This was our first time at Felina. The food was good, service was great but we felt you fell short in the drink category. With our desserts my father & husband asked for Irish coffees that came out looking like regular coffee, no whipped cream and no crème de mint. Very disappointing. Then after our meal we went to the bar to enjoy a round of drinks. We asked for Belvedere vodka, he was out, SoCo, he was out, sambuca, he came back with a generic anisette, just not the same. For a restaurant in a popular town such as Ridgewood we’d expect top shelf alcohol fully stocked especially on a holiday!

   Hi LisaM, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Felina - Ridgewood. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the food and found our service great. However, we're sorry to hear that our drink selection did not meet your expectations. We always strive to provide a variety of high-quality drinks, and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short during your visit, we don't typically carry Belvedere vodka or "So-Co', but I do hope an alternative selection was made available. I will certainly bring this to our head bartenders' attention immediately. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into consideration as we continually strive to improve our offerings. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again soon. Sincere Regards. Frank and the team at Felina

   We had the best Thanksgiving celebration experience at Felina. When we arrived, we were greeted by the warmest hosts. Our waiter, Will was very attentive and the service by everyone was top notch! The food was delicious with excellent presentations. And last but not least is the live music. It was such a wonderful addition; the musicians played very well, and the sound level was perfect. What a memorable dinner and will come back again!!

   Ate the garganelli alla vodka, the calamari, and the sopressatta pizza. Calamari was nice and lemony. Pizza was okay, not my favorite. Pasta was also good but not my favorite. Winterland Cosmo was good. Espresso martinis were good. Gave us free bread in beginning. Very very loud but nice ambiance.

    From the second we walked in to the time we sat down, we were met by a friendly and enthusiastic staff. We had a reservation for 4, but needed to add one more and Frank was more than accommodating. The service was on point and the food was excellent. We would highly recommend for a family dinner or a date night. Thank you to the staff for a great experience!
