La Vela Dining Bar - New York

Had a very subpar meal.. stopped in for lunch because it was close to circle line tours. Not sure what happened to my broccolini but it tasted so wine-y it was inedible. Other people in my party weren?t impressed with their pasta either. Wait staff was kindbut not very attentive nor welcoming. They liked the pizza though.

Antonio is a consummate chef the real deal from Naples. Pizzas are made in a coal fire kiln for your viewing. Top notch all around.

Very delicious gluten-free pasta bolognese, and pasta with sea food. Restaurant was nice and clean. Service was fast.

This restaurant has everything! Quality food, amazing wait staff, a kind and personable owner, and an affordable fine dining experience. I can not recommend it enough! and 100% try the calamari, gnocchi, and every desert!

We came for an early dinner while visiting in NYC. They checked for my allergies to ensure I wasn?t getting anything I shouldn?t (soy oregano). Staff was friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. We will definitely be back!
