Del Posto or Scalini Fedeli or ????

[Dupont Dude]

DC Hound looking for excellent Italian food in NYC. Bonus points for romantic setting. Staying downtown. Babbo is booked. Marea is too far. Del Posto or Scalini or some other option? Looking for fantastic pasta and great wine. Tasting menu would be nice, but not necessary. Thanks in advance.

Depends if you want really excellent food or pretty good food.

If you want really excellent, go to Del Posto.

If you'd prefer pretty good, Scalini Fedeli's your choice.
