FELICE reflects the soul of Italy, inspired by the sophisticated streets of Florence and the rustic warmth of the Tuscan countryside. This cozy NYC newcomer showcases a relaxed ambience, with subdued lighting, exposed brick walls lined with linear shelves filled with wine, as well as rich, tufted leather seats. Italian wines and flavors from Tuscany will now be served in a modern space, infused with traditional elements, on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Felice features classic Italian dishes from the menu of its sister restaurant, Sant Ambroeus, as well as tasting items and small plates, prepared by Chef Simone Parisotto, former Chef at Emporio Armani Cafe in Italy and Monaco and current Chef at Sant Ambroeus in Southampton, NY.

FELICE offers a unique wine list composed of over 100 bottles of white, red and sparkling Italian wines with 18 wines offered by the glass.

The owner, young Italian entrepreneur, Jacopo Giustiniani, has always been driven by an integral part of his family's winery in Italy, the Fattoria Sardi Giustiniani. Here, in the heart of Tuscany, he was raised, and immediately immersed into the wine culture. He took over the estate from his grandfather in 2002. He has been working as the wine buyer for the legendary Sant Ambroeus restaurants for more than two years and intends to keep this position while focusing on his lifelong dream of installing an authentic Italian wine bar in New York City.
