Asellina

Dining at Asellina was a disappointing experience. The service was snotty and incompetent, a deadly combination. The food ranged from awful to adequate. This restaurant clearly only wants to be a hot late night spot, not a respectable dining establishment. I had to apologize to friends for choosing it .

and overall, an unpleasant experience. the surround-sound had 1970's dance music blaring at me and my dining companion so loudly we couldn't have a real conversation. Wait-staff were reasonably attentive, but didn't know much about the menu other than how to pronounce things. The food was very basic Italian, and for the prices they charge, I expect the execution to be above average. Unfortunately, it was just middle of the road and nothing particularly interesting on the menu. NOT recommended unless you're in the Gansevoort for business and on someone's expense account.

I work at a hotel and I am always looking for new restaurants to recommend to my guests. This place is beyond amazing! The atomsphere is chic and stylish. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was exceptional, from the appetizer to the dessert. Our waiter gave us excellent selections and wine pairings. It was the best meal I have had in a long time. Do yourself a favor and indulge here! You will not be disappointed.

I truly enjoyed my meal at Asellina. My experience there definitely gave me a better feeling about the Gansevoort Park Ave, in general. The meal was delicious; I definitely recommend trying the eggplant appetizer and the tuna tartar. The atmosphere is wonderful. I am very excited to add Asellina to my list of favorites in this city!
