Incredible food, great atmosphere outstanding service. I was blown away by the Scallops dish that my wife ordered, most places give maybe 3-4 scallops. The portion at Felina was very generous as there was 5-6 large scallops which were perfectly cooked. Normally broccoli and cauliflower aren’t the most exciting sides but they complimented the dish nicely and it was all brought together with a great sauce. The chicken Scarpiello was also suburb. The potato pure was gave a dish that is more rustic a more elegant feel. The creaminess from the potato puree paired well with the chicken and sausage. Brussels were well made nice and crispy with a good sauce. Caesar salad was great to share, love seeing the chopped anchovies in the salad as you know it’s the real deal.
