our comments

Lidia Bastianich, cookbook author and co-owner of Esca and Becco in New York and Lidia’s in Kansas City and Pittsburgh, still considers Felidia the jewel in her culinary crown. The bi-level restaurant is elegant and betrays a convivial love of all things Italian. Her chef at this flagship, Fortunato Nicotra, delivers a consistently distinctive gastronomic experience notable for its nod to Istria, near the Italian and former-Yugoslavian border from where Bastianich hails. There are always interesting foods to sample at Felidia including a changing menu that highlights a particular Italian region and dishes selected to complement specific extra-virgin olive oils. Some winners: toothsome papardelle integrale with vegetables, osso buco with barley risotto or grilled octopus with potatoes. The extensive Italian wine list is a treat.
