Felidia has been open for more than 20 years and has really become one of my new york staples. I have been numerous times and even so, I never seem to tire of the classic italian food that they serve with a modern and innovative twist. Their summer dishes are always a delight, catering to those who would prefer and lighter seafood or crudo dish. The Winter menu is always delicious, especially if you sometimes are in the mood for a comforting dish of pasta. And no matter the season, the sommelier always helps me to pair a magnificent wine alongside my meal. If you live in new york and have never been, make this restaurant next on your to do list!

I have heard about for Felidia for years, so when it was my turn to pick for my monthly dinner club I thought it was definitely time to try it. I couldn't have been happier with my decision! Everything was perfect -from the food to the service. Our server was extremely helpful when it came to the food and wine recommendations. And we asked A LOT of questions! If you do get a chance to enjoy Felidia, don't leave without trying the pear and pecorino ravioli. Probably my new favorite dish!

My company recently held their yearly dinner at Felidia and what a great experience we had! From the moment we stepped inside the restaurant we were treated like VIP’s. The service was exceptional, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was lovely. We were seated in an elegant room overlooking 58th street. We enjoyed delicious appetizers all served family style, and the freshest pasta I have had in a while. My flat iron steak was outstanding and the tiramisu I had was delicious! It was a wonderful experience and I am really looking forward to going back with my friend.

Two couples along with my wife and I had dinner recently. The meal was average as was the service. More importantly we discovered after leaving that Felidia had charged over $400 more than the cost of the meal. Attempts to reconcile the bill met with a stone wall from the management so we are having to pursue other actions. Beware and check your bill carefully.

I had the pleasure of dining at Felidia last Friday and enjoyed every second of it. Everything we ordered was extremely fresh and delicious. The pear and pecorino ravioli was outstanding and not something I would not usually order. The wine was exceptional and the servers were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. This place is the real deal Italian and definitely worth visiting!

Service was very sleepy! Tasted and approved the wine and when the next bottle was introduced a fresh glass wasn't...lazy! The house wine by the glass is not drinkable! The Alaskan King Crab salad had plenty of cartilage in it. The waiters were very sloppy with the service ie. they didn't have enough tasting plates for everyone (7 guests), the crumber guy took forever...maybe new employee? Seems that this place is a cash cow. Average age=55+

I had the pleasure of dining at Felidia last week. I ordered salmon in this fabulous vinaigrette, it was so tasty. I will definitely be going back very soon .

I absolutely love Felidia. I have been a number of times over the past ten years and I have to say it get's better every time. The homemade pastas are not to be missed. I order the roasted whole branzino every time and I'm never disappointed. This place is great for foodies but my young children also love the simple food. Highly recommend!
