Felice 64
Felice 64, the original Felice location, feels like an extension of a Tuscan living room, designed to be a relaxed escape from the Upper East Side's more formal dining scene. The intimate 50-seat restaurant and 16-seat outdoor patio are adorned with traditional Tuscan elements like subdued lighting, exposed brick walls, and wine-filled shelves, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's a place where you can unwind with a glass of wine from the owners' Italian winery and enjoy rustic Italian classics.
