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.

not worth it :( – Too expensive, food ok but waiters & bus boys always at your table, no privacy
Tuscan Treat – We had a Tuscan wine pairing dinner here and were floored. The wine was terrific, the food delicious and the service attentive yet fun. If you have been to Babbo's think; less stuffy waitstaff with the same lovely ambiance and non-dairy pastas. Best Restaurant when not on a budget. The new sommelier chose well matched wines for each dish with histories and explanations of each bottle. Highly recommeded and I will definitely be returning.
Why are you complaining?? – I find some of the previous ratings to be snobby and somewhat silly. First, if you couldn't find anything to eat on Felidia's menu, you probably should not be dining at gourmet restaurants in NYC. Stick to Olive Garden. The food at Felidia was imaginative, fun, and full of fresh, bright flavors. My mother and I had exceptional seafood dishes, fabulous homemade breads, and decadent desserts. We even got to see and talk to Lidia on our way out - all in all, an absolute treat and a half!!!
Needs Work – We were disappointed with the menu selections and the service. The menu is very limited and my wife had trouble finding something that she wanted to eat. The food is prepared well and it is delicious. Service was another matter. Maybe because we were there on a Monday. Our water glasses were empty and we had to ask for more wine, bread & butter. The bread came without butter & we waited unusually long for it to be served. I'd say Lydia needs to re-work the staff & selections.
Unimpressed – My group and I being true NY foodies were looking forward to this meal for some time. How disappointed we were. Had 8:30 reservations and had called ahead because we were going to be .10 minutes late due to traffic. Got to the resturant at 8:40 and was seated at 9:50! Had totally lost my appetite but was looking forward to a great meal (based on the TV program). Too bad Lidia doesn't cook. Has the executive chief ever heard of salt? Food was in one word "BLAAA"... get it, forget it. Good for out of towners who ... read more
Head Waiter - Loose the Attitude – Food is absolutely delicious - after all these years. What was disappointing was our head waiter. He barely even acknowledged that we were there. We had much better service from the bread waiter. With all the other finer Italian Restaurants around, maybe Felidia's should improve in this area. Very disappointing for the price you pay - service is part of the experience.
Waste of Time – We made reservations through our concierge (at her recommendation) and were told that this place was fabulous...WRONG! Snobby staff and horrible seating (we were seated at a tiny table next to the main walk-through and were bumped by staff each time they walked by) was the first thing we noticed. Portions were VERY small-I lived in Italy, and trust me- they don't eat like birds there!!! We won't be back to this restaurant.
A Must!!! – Although I live in Virginia every time I come to visit I always make it a priority to stop in for dinner at least once. The food is always innovative and well prepared, the service helpful and professional. Well worth the price!! The tiramisu is to die for!!
Never Again! – My husband and I were seated at a table in the bar which was shoved up against a wall that smelled like a dirty washcloth (I think they lost our reservation since it did not seem like a table should be there and it took a while to be seated). The menu did not support her cookbooks or PBS series, which is what we were expecting. The Captain was showing his impatience for a crowded Monday night and the dinner I was served was not prepared the way he told me it would be. They also did not have any dry red wines b... read more
