Scalini Fedeli

I’ve been hearing good things about Scalini Fedeli for a few years now, so when my wife and I finally got a babysitter for a night we decided to try it for the first time. The first impression we got was just how incredibly charming the restaurant is. Kinda like upscale farmhouse chic. We were early for our reservation so the hostess politely informed us our table wasn’t quite ready and offered us a glass of Prosecco. When we were seated in the dining room we were immediately impressed by the curved vaulted ceilings and large columns that sort of broke the room up into smaller sections. Overall very cozy and comfortable feel. The service was very prompt and very accommodating. We got the feeling that everyone truly wanted us to enjoy our experience. The food was excellent but perhaps had a couple imperfections: for example my pappardelle with ossobucco and marrow jus was utterly dominated by an overwhelming flavor of rosemary. And my duck breast was good, but I’m not quite sure I would order it again. The star of our show was my wife’s linguini carbonara. Simple, classic (American style: with cream instead of egg yolk) but silky, savory and exactly what you want when you order carbonara. We added a course that I loved as well: butternut squash agnolotti in brown butter and sage. Decadent. And the “primi piccolo” (kind of like an amuse bouche) was excellent as well. Overall Scalini Fedeli comes in at 4.75 stars due to some nit-picking on my part (at a restaurant of this caliber the server should crumb the table in between courses) but we had an excellent experience and a fantastic date night.

Excellent!! Beautiful room, attentive service and super eats... For a special night...

Enjoyable fine dining experience, the egg ravioli was great and the chocolate truffle cake was incredible. Atmosphere was really cool and unique being in an old spacious house revamped into a restaurant. Prices are what you'd expect for a fine dining experience in Chatham. Parking is valet

My experience proved why this restaurant receives 5 stars. From the service to the delicious food, the entire evening was perfect. Set in an old house with tapestries on the walls and an old world charm it offers a wonderful price fixe menu with something for everyone.

I took my mom here for her birthday, and everything was amazing. My mom is extremely hard to please, but our waiter Daniel was exceptional. They went above and beyond. The drinks, food, and the little extra touches all really add to that extra special experience. Will definitely be going back!
