Profile

In between writing cookbooks and taping segments of Lidia's Italian Table for PBS, Lidia Bastianich, the matriarch of the clan responsible in part for Lupa, Esca, and Becco, oversees this elegant bastion of Italian cooking. But chef Fortunato Nicotra deserves credit for a new breath of energy at the range. Sauces are lighter, pastas still wonderful, and entrees get deftly tweaked. The wine list always impresses, and olive oil connoisseurs can spring for a $7 comparative tasting. Felidia's first-ever bar menu features a selection of paninis and complimentary sorbet. Available for lunch and pretheater dinner. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Look, it's not like it was bad... But, with all the hype it really does dissapoint. It's just average. The service is fine, but the decor is awful - really needs a re-do. The food was a bit tired...Read More
