About this business
Interesting, unusual and downright delicious dishes from the provinces of northern Italy are served at this restaurant, along with some of the most sought after wines of Europe and America. There is also excellent service and charming decor, including terra cotta floors that will remind you of an Italian home. Owned by famed chef and restaurateur Lydia Bastianich, it would be hard to find an uninteresting dish here. Pastas such as the homemade ravioli and risotto with porcini mushrooms are especially noteworthy.

Divine Pasta! – I can't begin to express how much I loved the food at Felidia. Yes, it's expensive, but I think it's well worth it, especially for a special night out. We had the chicken liver trifolati (which is chicken liver served three ways). Served with polenta and fois gras. Unbelievably delicious and unique. We also had the grilled octopus, less exciting but good. And what makes this restaurant stand out is the outrageously good pasta- We had the Porcini stringozzi with mushrooms, rabbit, and black truffles. My eyes t... read more
Excellent all around! – The food was absolutely first-rate, the service formal yet friendly. Our bill for two with wine was $250 and worth every penny. Very special place with a romantic atmosphere. Highly, highly recommended.
Truly Amazing – I was utterly shocked to see so many negative reviews about this restaurant. I went online after I went there expecting everyone to be raving about it. Clearly many people writing these reviews have no idea what good food and excellent service consists of. I am a tough critic of food and have lived and dined in NYC for my entire life and this was one of the best restaurants I have been to here as well as in any other city for that matter. The staff was so attentive, knowledgeable and eager to assist you in an... read more
Felidia's...what a joke – My family and I recently went for dinner at Felidia's and was deeply dissapointed. The food was VERY salty, and the service was atrocious and despicable. When my father is spending more then $500, we would have appreciated a more accomodating staff. There was also a very tall male waitor on the second floor that was absolutely rude. Don't they teach their staff how to pour water or wine? They also gave us the wrong check, TWICE. I have no idea why this is considered one of the nicer Italian Restaura... read more
Service-so so – I was happily surprised by my family for my bday to go to Felidia's. For those of you, who are fans of her show, I think you'll be surprised by the overall attitude of the service. This restaurant is not good for kids or groups. The tasting menu was good but for the price way too much pasta and few meat or seafood selections. The food was great. The service was poor. Although, some wait staff tried a little harder than others. When you pay that kind of money, you really want the whole experience. And, you don... read more
Condesending Service – My husband and I live in the neighborhood and went here for a special occasion. Although the food was top-notch, the service really needs work. We ordered a bottle of wine a few minutes after we were seated. After it did not arrive and we had started our meal, we inquired about it. A waiter looked me in the eye and said we did not order wine, as if to infer we were making this up. Apparently one of the other waiters had taken the wine order and had forgotten it. We did not mind the confusion, but I tho... read more
An Unforgettable Meal! – I took my boyfriend to Felidia's for his birthday. It was wonderful. One word of caution: beware of the exploding price on the glass of champagne! I ordered a "glass of champagne" from the bar and although I enjoyed it immensely, IT COST $35.00! Yes, $35.00 for one glass of champagne. I could have killed that bartender when I knew there were many less pricey options. That was the only dark moment on the elegant evening. Oh, yes, the space is cramped but the food made us forget that our neighbors were... read more
I'm glad I ignored the unfavorable reviews... – My family took my 82 year old mother to Felidia for her birthday. My mom is a big fan of Lidia, and we were delighted to find her in attendance. She graced our table with several visits, took a photo with my mom, and signed her menu. Mom was thrilled. The service was impeccable. The food was extraordinary. Great Italian food starts with fresh, local ingredients, and these were found in abundance at Felidia. Thank you, Lidia, for an enchanting, memorable evening.
Crowds still cherish Lidia Bastianich's renowned northern Italian cooking. – The Scene Since 1981, the brightest star in Lydia Matticchio Bastianich's expanding culinary universe has endeared special occasioners, expense accounters, and food-driven tourists hoping to catch a glimpse of the cookbook author and TV chef in action. As a result, the formal bar is standing-room-only, and two cozy downstairs dining rooms, handsomely appointed with mahogany details, luxurious linens, and sparkling crystal, can feel cramped.
