Reviews for La Vela in New York, NY
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. Read more
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! Read more
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! Read more
Service was not the best, the staff didn’t make us feel welcoming at all. We ordered some bread at first, normally the staff... should at least say ok or something to let us know he heard us, but he just turned his head saying nothing. Atmospheric was abit dark, but the music was actually quite good. Food was ok, the best is probably the bread. Overall everything was ok. Read more
Our meals were excellent, tasty, flavorful and delicious! Got off the boat tour and went for the closest restaurant. Great... choice and the service was great too! Read more
Food was pretty good. I loved the lasagna and though the gnocchi was okay- it felt like it needed a little something more. The... chocolate souflee also went over well with the table. Read more
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 waskind but not very attentive nor welcoming. They liked the pizza though. Read more
