Scalini Fedeli Restaurant Review:


When chef-owner Michael Cetrulo opened Scalini Fedeli in a remodeled and updated 270-year-old farmhouse, the translation of its name had special meaning: “steps of faith.” That’s just what it took to launch his unique cuisine best described as Italian, notable for its French influences. Not to be confused with “fusion” dishes, Cetrulo’s hallmark is delicacy and sophistication with offerings such as slow-roasted duck breast crusted with toasted almonds in a port wine sauce, or oven-roasted king salmon‎ in a wine and caper jus. The wine cellar is deep with well-chosen vintages ranging in price from $25 to $400. For dessert, consider one of the many gelatos or an artful pastry such as a chocolate painted phyllo napoleon with chocolate mousse, fresh cream and warm raspberries with vanilla ice cream. The menu is prix-fixe, with liquor and tax not included. Service is polished and friendly.
