Fried Zucchini & Fried Calamari
Rhea Z.

Very nice decor inside. Two seating areas. Came for lunch on a weekday as we were the only ones there. Service was great. Staff was great and had recommendations. Fried Zucchini 10/10 Fried Calamari 08/10 (can't really get this wrong) Hazelnut Espresso Martini with Baileys 6/10. (Didn't really get any hazelnut flavor from it except the little hazelnut crunch that was a topping, wasn't a fan of the foam, but under all that it was delish) We both ordered Cesar Salads one with chicken and one with avocado. We devoured it. I mean a Ceasar salad itself is great, presentation, flavor, portion, taste were great. Prices were affordable. I'd like to come back to try the brunch menu.

Random Friday night date with my husband let me tell you surprised is my instant reaction. It's a small intimate restaurant which is great I don't like places where the music is so loud and everything is so loud you have to yell to hear each other. The service was great I think it was the manager was constantly walking around asking if everyone was ok if they needed anything . He was even taking orders and making drinks and running food ! Great job on their service . Let's get to the food ! The food is very wholesome it gives you the vibe that your at a grandparents house our a friends house ! I ordered a strawberry field salad added lobster on top Man was that delicious with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing I'm drooling writing this lol . My husband ordered the crusted pork chop it was huge the Brussels sprouts and the sauce they are made in *chefs kiss* . Stuffed Mac and cheese bites for me was just ok I didn't really enjoy them but my husband loved it. Cheesy cornbread was so good i ordered one to go ! I always save room for dessert I ordered a homemade apple pie with the ice cream of the month which was cookie and cream it came with a maple bourbon syrup omg lets just say I wanted to order a whole pie to take home. Overall this is a really nice place with a nice menu that's reasonably priced. Give it a try I'm sure you'll love it

Dude, Ariella's was off the charts. It's our new go to place. First pic is a drink. lol can't remember the name but look at how stunning it is and it tasted as good as it looks. Second pic is that drink and Jen, my wife. Third pic was a soup trio sampler of tomato, onion and broccoli soups and the other is a bang bang shrimp. Sooo good. What a great idea for a soup sampler. Next drink was called the butterfly Jen and her butterfly drink. Next picture is my dinner which was a linguine Alfredo with twin lobster tails and six perfectly grilled shrimp covered in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. Behind that is Jen's dish which is a Cajun chicken and Cajun shrimp pasta dish. Both dishes were plentiful and delicious. And we ended with two dessert drinks one which was a deconstructed tiramisu, and the other was a Reese's pieces chocolate martini. Everything was delicious. My only knock would be the lobster tails were slightly over salted, But not where i can say anything or lessen the rating. The owner, Billy, Was tending the bar and making all the drinks. He took time to chat with us and was extremely friendly. His front of the house greeter/seater/server, Danny, was also very nice and offered recommendations to us. That dude was working hard. I cant wait to go back, oh and the prices are excellent. Two apps, two main courses and 6 drinks was only 168. I'll be gng back for lunch, happy hour and dinner very soon and you should also.

Lobster BLT

Decided to try a place I've never been on Staten Island. Ariella's nestled on new Dorp lane, who would've known. Nice decore with hints of black and white colors. Service was good and attentive. We ordered the calamari and burrata which was very good. I had the lobster BLT which had a good chunk of lobster. And we had the salmon which was also very good. I'm always happy to try a place that hits the spot. You should try it to!

Ariella's restaurant is what I hope every other restaurant would strive to become; after hearing about our imperfect experience, they took our criticism to heart and drastically improved everything we critiqued. This time around, the buffalo chicken dip was juicy and tender, which is evident in the picture! It's the perfect appetizer that I can imagine eating while watching the Super Bowl; it was flavorful, tender, creamy, and the amount of shredded chicken was plentiful. The coffee-rubbed ribeye was cooked perfectly medium rare this time, and paired with their soy glazed Brussel sprouts was the definition of perfection. This experience is what I always knew Ariella's restaurant is capable of, ever since our first time dining with them. Not only did they surpass our expectations, but they also respected our voice and took the steps to perfect their minor imperfections, exemplary of what exquisite dining looks like. We look forward to coming back to try the many more new additions to their ever evolving menu! Definitely give them a try and I promise you won't regret it! (Please consider adding the Lolipop lamb chops to the regular menu!) Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

Maple bacon ice cream

New place opened recently on New Dorp Lane. First time there. Service was good, menu is very small and there were no specials. Portions are very small too. You need to look for parking on the street. The place is very quaint. There are TVs by the bar you can watch the game. Food was good and reasonably priced. I enjoyed the salmon.

Cami S.

Wow!!, best hidden little place on Staten Island with a view of the Verrazano bridge in a distance. Food and service was amazing. We felt like we were eating in our own dining room. We had the coffee rib eye steak . Try this place next time in Staten Island And say. HI to John The bartender as for an Apple Martini!!

Staten Island hidden gem! This restaurant has opened nearby, so we decided to try it during the holiday. The environment is quite nice. Although the restaurant isn't very big (which I personally prefer), the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and even chatted and interacted with my kids. The food quality was good -- I'd say above average. The price is very reasonable. Definitely worth recommending! Ariella's restaurant 710 New Dorp Lane, Staten Island, NY 10306

What's left of our Mac and cheese balls
Priscilla P.

Cute little spot in new dorp serving up some delicious food. Started with their appetizer special of mac and cheese balls- my toddler loved it! Came with about 6 in a skillet covered in a yummy cheese sauce. For our entrees, we went with their specials again- Ariella's pasta that came with two lobster tails and 4 big shrimp, smothered in a garlic rosemary sauce served with a garlic and oil spaghetti and Chicken New dorp, which was their take on a chicken cordon bleu. Must order the side of Brussels sprouts! Perfect combo of salty and touch of sweet. All delicious! Surprisingly too full for dessert but would def return to try everything else they offer.

It's been too long since we last visited. Happy to see that they had a full house, understandably…read moreso. Service was on point as were the cocktails. My wife loved her Butternut Squash soup (served with crispy bacon) and I loved the long hots. Dinner was as enjoyable. I haven't had a Chilean Sea Bass as well done as here (oreganata style on top of spinach and mashed potatoes with capers). My wife's pappardelle with a creamy mushroom sauce was exceptional. Dessert and coffee were excellent. On an island with so many Italian restaurants, if you haven't visited here you are missing something special.

made a reservation for two on 12/31. We showed up and there was no one to seat us at our table,…read morejust one person behind the bar. We sat ourselves and then 15 minutes later we received our waters. bread came out at around the 20 minute mark. We didn't put in our drink and food orders until being there for about 30 minutes. Put our order in, server doesn't write anything down, but that's alright seen plenty of servers work that way. Appetizer comes out 25 minutes later, and the calamari was pretty good. So now we have Been here more than an hour, which is alright I guess but longer then usual from my experiences before reconfiguring a main dish. Then after the the appetizer gets taken away we then wait another 30 minutes for our main dish. We start getting antsy and hungry and the server comes up and tells me the food should be out soon. Great! Wait another 10 minutes and server comes back and asks me what I ordered and my date. I respond and tell him shouldn't you know that? At this point he goes back and asks my date after she is coming back from bathroom what she ordered and now they have our order and hour and a half later. Server comes back and I ask him how much longer until we get our food, to which he says the tickets got lost in the kitchen and should be another 10 minutes. We wait another 10 minutes and nothing, ask server again and couldn't tell us when food will be ready. Will not be recommending this restaurant or returning. What a shame.
