Came here for lunch, booked a 12:15pm reservation on Sunday. Got there at that time and waited at the front for a few minutes, no one else was in the restaurant. Ordered the linguini white clam sauce and spaghetti carbonara. Linguini with white clam sauce was really nothing more than normal pasta tossed in a simple garlic parsley sauce. The spaghetti carbonara though was not what we expected- the noodles were sitting in a watery, unappealing "sauce" and the pancetta lacked flavor, anclumped up with the cheese. read more

My favorite traditional Italian restaurant in NYC! The chicken and veal recipes are wonderful. I highly recommend the chicken scarpariello. The atmosphere is calming and inviting. The staff are attentive and friendly. This is a family-owned restaurant, and their attention to friendly service and traditional recipes shines through. read more

Classical American Italian restaurant. Service was good, the food was nice, but nothing was astounding. Pasta a la vodka was a bit on the heavy side, the veal was good. read more

I've done three times now and each time the ambiance and the food is consistent and exceeds my expectations. Their drinks are super good also. The owner is also super sweet! read more

I went for lunch and the drinks were delicious (passion fruit spritz and their house Cabernet). The penne ala vodka was 10/10, I just wish the portions were bigger. The gnocchi was already great but the red sauce on the eggplant appetizer was even better. Tiramisu was also 10/10. read more

Love the ambiance, it was pretty quiet on a Friday night at 6pm, however it started to get crowded around 8pm. It was perfect because my friends and I got to catch up earlier and was able to enjoy the crowd towards the end of our dinner. The food was delicious and we would come back. I also love that there was available street parking in front of the restaurant! read more

Ferdi is hands down the best restaurant to go to for a large party in NYC!!! I had an outing of 10 people and the accommodation was top class. It could not have been better. Ferdi is very nice and will work hard to guarentee the best night possible. We all split a birthday package that consisted of multiple starters, an entree and a desert for a very reasonable price. We had birthday baloons upon our arrival along with custom menu's that said "Matt's Birthday" on the top. Truly a gem in the West Village. I have dined here before the birthday outing and it never misses. Great food, better people and overall, an amazing restaurant located in NYC. read more

Had the best meal tonight at Ferdi! The owner, Aida is the sweetest and super welcoming as soon as you sit down. The limoncello spritz was delicious along with the rest of the meal! Definitely recommend the seafood pasta, shrimp scampi appetizer, veal and chicken Sofia and liquid nitrogen gelato! Everything was very fresh and had delicious flavor. Can't wait to come back here! read more

I had heard good things and was looking forward to my meal here, but after waiting almost 2 hours for my main course I was left disappointed. The wait times for food was completely unacceptable. I've never waited two hours for a main course before. The food that finally arrived was overly salted and lacking in flavor. I had ordered the fixed price 3 course and both the appetizer and main were average at best. The tiramisu was delicious and the wait staff nice which is why I did not rate it a 1 star. read more

Quiet little spot on 7th Ave South in the Village. Ended up here unplanned on a Saturday with friends, it was pretty empty and that's a shame because the staff where warm and welcoming and the food was great. William was a knowledgeable and amazing waiter, Aida was a sweet host, and the food: didn't take pics because we were hungry and it was really a casual day (which I will rectify). We had the Costiera for 2 which had enough for me, my kid, and her godfather. She and I both had the Capellini Frutta de Mar (I subbed angle hair for spaghetti), and her godfather had the Pollo Siciliano. Coffee was great and we received a complimentary lemoncello at the end. I'll be back for sure - and recommend this place for a chill but delicious and filling meal. read more

This place is great. An amazing vibe with solid delicious food and great service. I got the Ravioli Ferdi and it was amazing.

Super unassuming place, but amazing food?? My friend and I stumbled across this place in the WV and decided to try it for an early dinner, and boy were we surprised! The pre-fix menu is great, but we opted to get a few dishes and split. The garlic bread appetizer is amazing, almost like a cheese toast with some extra garlic. I also think that the chicken parmesan I got was one of my favorites ever (!!!) and my friend's vegetarian ravioli was out of this world. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

Might have the best service of any restaurant in NYC and the food is incredible too. Highly recommend any of the pasta dishes and the homemade gelato. read more

I'm sorry, but a warning to those that follow Yelp reviews... I'm suspicious as to the authenticity of these high reviews. The food was really subpar. Friendly service but if you're looking for very good authentic Italian.. this is not it. read more

My first time at Ferdi Restaurant on Seventh Avenue South and Leroy Street which recently opened in the summer of 2022. Lovely decor, quick service and the result ... delicious meal. The siblings, Aida and Fernando, do a terrific time in welcoming you and going over the menu in the event you need consultation. read more

Ferdi was fantastic! We were looking for an Italian dinner and the Yelp reviews, though few, looked promising. Our lovely server, William, informed us the restaurant opened in July. The host was a delight upon arrival. Our server was attentive and helpful. The food was outstanding. Not a mediocre item to be found! We had an appetizer special with mozzarella and prosciutto in red sauce, Caesar salads, veal martini, ravioli Ferdi and the Chef Salmon. Dessert was also delicious- gelato for two (a true show experience) and the profiterole special. I would definitely recommend Ferdi and would return on a future visit to the city. My husband and the chef had a spontaneous meeting outside and he was great to chat with. read more

Came to Ferdi on a Friday night for dinner with my boyfriend. We loved the neon sign out front and when we walked in we were met with a nice reprieve from the heat through generous AC in the restaurant. We started with cocktails - an aperol spritz and negroni- both tasty. For appetizers, we got the meatballs (polpette) and the eggplant rolled with herbs and cheese (crispelle fiorentina). Meatballs were moist and had a nice helping of tomato sauce. Loved the ricotta inside the eggplant dish. For entrees, my boyfriend got the salmon, which he loved. He really liked the wild rice that came with it as well. I had the manzo marsala and a half order of risotto. The marsala sauce was great and the meat was cooked perfectly. Really liked the broccolini it came with too. I enjoyed the veggies that came in the risotto. For dessert, we had the gelato for two, made tableside with liquid nitrogen. It came with some additional items but the gelato itself was the star and quite tasty - and homemade right in front of us. I am a huge tiramisu fan though, so would want to try that dessert in the future. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we felt welcomed and that shined through with the great service and quality food. The food felt homestyle in the best possible way and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Will recommend to friends and am glad we chose this place for dinner. read more

Came back to Ferdi and couldn't have been happier. Aida and her family are so inviting, and the restaurant is truly beautiful. We ordered the meatballs and the fried calamari. The meatballs were so tender and filled with mozzarella. The homemade tomato sauce was light and tasted amazing. The fried calamari were crisped to perfection. Ferdi restaurant is a great addition to the neighborhood. Please support this family-owned business. You will not be disappointed. read more

This place is magical and everyone in here is very attentive and pleasant. The ambience is very comfortable and beautiful.

Or on a date with someone really special. or an outing with friends and family. I won't say anymore and I would like you guys to try it and write back your thoughts. read more

Service is good, bread and water were frequently replenished. Mozzarella caprese was delicious with everything in balance. Ravioli were extremely well done. My friend had the Rigatoni Siciliani which they said was quite nice. I had the Capellini Frutta Di Mare and while that tasted fine and the shellfish was cooked correctly whoever did the prep was really lazy and my scallop as well as most of the mussels were filled with grit which is not great to have crunching between your teeth for $32 or whatever it was. One mussel was also welded shut in the dish which is also annoying that the chef didn't catch that and release it to see if it was just a tight one or bad before it went out. Portion sizes are in line with the neighborhood. Restaurant is priced in line with higher end Italian in this neighborhood. read more

We went Ferdis to celebrate my cousin's Birthday yesterday & they did not disappoint. My cousin said it was the best birthday he has had in years. The food was delicious, the service impeccable & the relaxed yet sophisticated atmoshere was ideal for enjoying a great night of conversation, authentic Italian cuisine & a superb collection of Italian wines. The risotto was one of the best I have ever had (a dish I measure any great Italian restaurant by). The homemade tableside Gelato was to die for. Kudos to Chef Fernando, Aida & their staff for making this an unforgettable dining experience. We will be back very soon read more

Wow. I came here with my dad when he came into town because I had been wanting to try it and it looked spacious inside. With my dad being 6'4 he hates going to crammed restaurants, so I have to plan in advance. Right off the bat the service was impeccable. We ordered frito misto, meatballs, veal martini, and lobster ravioli special. Food was a 10/10 with our favorite being the veal. Could not recommend this restaurant enough for a chill vibe and amazing, authentic Italian cuisine. Nicely decorated for the holidays as well. read more

Great ambiance and charming decor. Our waiter was very attentive, gracious and welcoming. We had wine (by the glass) which we got to sample before accepting. Ordered 3 delicious appetizers to share. Just right! No pressure to order more. After we paid the bill, our waiter asked us if we'd like a complimentary "shot" of lemoncello. Yes, please! We felt like we were back in Italy. So very enjoyable and memorable! read more

Loved it! My new favorite restaurant in the W Village. Delicious food in a charming setting.

Ran into this place while strolling in the village. From the moment the appetizers came we knew we hit the jackpot. The food is delicious and the flavors are out of this world. We had the fried calamari that was done exactly right with the right consistency. The chicken Parm was also a amazing . The service was also excellent. Will go back next time in NYC. We sat outside and the ambiance was excellent read more

Excellent!!! Service, ambiance and delicious expertly prepared food served with finesse and style! A real gem!!!!

Very slow service, had to ask where food was multiple times. Food was mediocre. Also found a hair in one item

Ferdi is a special place! It was our first time for a family members birthday and there were ten of us. The food was delicious- all of it. Very fresh! The table side gelato was fun for everyone. Most notable however was the service. They were attentive and kind and even gave my family member who's birthday it was a gift card to return- how generous! Highly recommend checking Ferdi out. read more

I don't usually leave reviews! But this place is outstanding! We started with the Cotisiera for Two which included shrimp, stuffed portabello, clams ,fried calamari and eggplant rollitini. It was DELICIOUS. For main, I got the rigatoni siciliana and my husband got the ravioli ferdi, both were amazing!! I wish we took pictures but we scarfed down the food so quick. Service was wonderful, Aida made us feel so welcomed. The overall price was pretty inexpensive as well compared to other Italian places in the village. We can't wait to come back, it will definitely be our neighborhood spot. Hopefully this place will get the recognition it deserves! Also, they have happy hour from 3-6 with $5 wine! read more
