I tried this new Italian restaurant that opened in Staten Island New Dorp area, Ariellas Restaurant, and I did not see what all of the positive reviews were about. The best part of the meal was the roasted herb potatoes. The food tasted under-seasoned especially the Mac and cheese, and the steak definitely lacked salt. The drinks were also not the best, as the espresso martini was mostly whipped cream and I did not order another one and my friend got a spicy drink that even I found too spicy (and I have a really high spice tolerance). I personally enjoyed Fig and Olive more which was the restaurant that was previously at this location and I most likely would not visit again as there are many better Italian restaurants to visit in Staten Island.
