Best Lasagna in Financial District
Master Critic Review
Felice 15 Gold
8.6
Tuscan wine bar and restaurant inside Gild Hall where house pastas, including a traditional baked lasagna, pair with an unusually deep Italian wine list. It doubles as a power lunch spot by day and a comfortable, candlelit option for dates and small celebrations at night.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited in FiDi; plan for nearby paid garages around Wall Street and Gold Street.
Dress code: Smart casual; polished jeans and a button-down or blouse fit the room.
Noise level: Moderate: lively bar energy upfront, quieter in the dining room—conversation is comfortable.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation during peak prime-time windows.
Weekday lunch: Typically minimal wait with a reservation; walk-ins can often be seated quickly.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Multiple vegetarian pasta and salad options.
Vegan options: Limited—some starters and salads can be modified, but mains are sparse.
Gluten-free options: Gluten-free pasta is often available; confirm with server for preparation details.
Best For
Better for: Wine-forward Italian dining with a quieter, more refined room than the busier pasta spots in the neighborhood.
Consider Alternatives If: You want casual, budget-friendly plates or large-group rowdiness—other FiDi Italian spots suit that better.
