About Da Andrea Chelsea
Da Andrea started in the West Village and later opened a second dining room in Chelsea, bringing the same menu of fresh pasta and Italian classics to the neighborhood. A few dishes point to northern Italy. One example is the tigelle modenesi, small flatbreads from the Modena area served with prosciutto. The rest of the menu stays with familiar trattoria cooking: bolognese, carbonara, ravioli, risotto and roasted meats.

A few premium choices carry a supplement: +$6 for the warm octopus salad or tuna tartare as a first course, and +$9 for the salmon filet or bistecca as a main course.
Happy hour runs Monday to Friday from 4:30 to 6:30 PM, at the bar only.

What to Order
For a first visit, split an antipasto such as the burrata or the tigelle with prosciutto, then order one of the house pastas. The veal ravioli and the squid ink tagliolini with clams are the most distinctive. Spaghetti bolognese and carbonara are the safer classics. If you want a main course, the galletto arrosto is the mid-priced pick, and the lamb shank is the more filling one. Finish with the tiramisu.
Prices and Value
Dinner for one with an antipasto, a pasta and dessert comes to roughly $65–$70 before drinks, tax and tip, based on current menu prices. That's in line with sit-down Italian restaurants in Chelsea. For a lower-cost meal, come for the $30 weekday lunch or for bar happy hour.
