Scaletta Ristorante

We are regulars at this traditional Red Sauce restaurant. The decor is not a reason for visiting but the delicious food and excellent service is. There is a large quiet bar with large drinks. Sound level is low and tables are large and widely spaced. Perfect for dining with friends. Prices are very fair.

This wonderful restaurant has two assets that are really important, especially in New York. (1) Fine professional and friendly waiters, who know and care about their business and, more important than I can say, (2) an environment in which a person can talk with his or her guests, without shouting or straining to hear. The art of conversation, even in a full restaurant, is alive and well at Scaletta.

Since my fridge broke, I've been ordering through Seamless everyday. I keep going back to this place... this is the 3rd time this week. This review is for delivery only. Okonomiyaki - Japanese pancake - is the best item here! They also have takoyaki... not many places in Flushing does. I loved everything I ordered! Oyakodon, udon, unagidon. The unagi don didn't have much sauce (wish they had more, the rice was kinda bland) but the eel was good. As I'm typing, I'm waiting for them to deliver hehehe. I also like that they come with little tiny side dishes.

We had our wedding reception at Scaletta's because it was close to the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park where we got married. Thus, although we chose it primarily for it location, we got much, much more. Impeccable and gracious service from the wait staff; sincere attention and fair dealings from Freddie the Maître D’, his brother Omer, the Chef and Omer's daughter Michelle, the events manager; delicious and plentiful food -- from Hors d’oeuvres to main course. And the wedding cake prepared on premises by Dominique the Pastry Chef drew universal raves from our guests! Scaletta's made our special day all the better!
