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

A new Italian restaurant in the West Village. Sibling partners Aida Scarpati and executive chef Fernando Scarpati are bringing fresh ingredients and updated composition to pay homage to their family Italian recipes. Of course expect housemade pasta, antipasti that may sounds basic, but meticulously cooked with care, and main proteins that are often lubricated with luscious sauces. Hospitality is valued as you will always see the owners on the floor, greeting customers and making recommendations. It's refreshing to see a family business growing, not allowing the legacy to end. . 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

Great for our group of 8! We all loved our food (and large portions!); highlights - bolognese (special), lamb chops, chicken-veal Sofia, and of course the table side gelato. Very hospitable service that we enjoyed and felt at home in the restaurant. If you're looking for a home cooked/authentic Italian meal, come to Ferdi! Can't wait to come back. read more

Great service; nice comfortable atmosphere with good authentic Italian food. My husband had chicken dish with spicy tomato and I had vegetarian risotto with shrimp. Wonderful Viognier wine, salad and bruschetta. Would highly recommend and will return. Easy access on subway! read more

Ferdi served us the delicious salmon we'd ever eaten. We enjoyed sitting outside and the service was great, personable and efficient.

Dined here recently and all the food was outstanding. The penne alla russa was our favorite. Shoutout to Aida who couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating to us. Has the feel of your local neighborhood family run Italian restaurant but right in the heart of the West Village. read more

Ferdi - Penne Alla Russa - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Came here this past Sunday and absolutely loved everything. I only got to try some of the apps, namely the fritto misto and the crespelle fiorentina (pan roasted eggplant stuffed with ricotta) but they were both delicious. I don't even normally like eggplant but this dish may have changed my mind. Drink wise, I had a limoncello spritz which was also tasty :) I can't wait to come back to try more of the food! read more

Awesome new Italian restaurant in the West Village! I had a delicious eggplant rollatini and an amazing chicken marsala type dish stuffed with fontina and veal. So good! The menu looked great and we will definitely back to try other dishes. read more

ASK FOR WILLIAM!!!!! This place is unbelievably perfect. New to the neighborhood and as family owned as it gets. The meatballs are the best I've ever had by far. An extensive menu with too many good options. This place will surely make its way into your roster of restaurants in the neighborhood. read more

Ferdi is the best Italian spot in the village. Truly great service and ambiance. The family owned establishment feels like coming home. Wonderful read more

Since Ferdi opened a few months, I go there at least once a week. My colleagues and I travel internationally for work, and we always try to hit the best restaurants with local cuisine. One of my colleagues is a branzino expert - ordering it in some of the best seafood restaurants in the world. A few months back we were in Mykonos, Greece and, he of course ordered the bronzino - declaring "This is awesome." So when I suggested that we go to Ferdi's for bronzino, he was very skeptical, but willing to try. The bronzino was amazing - served with king crab and shellfish in a delicious tomato sauce. When he first saw it, he said "Tomato sauce on bronzino!" But after a few bites, he also rated it as one of his top bronzino restaurants. This is how an Italian restaurant should be - family owned and run by Italians with a love of people, culture, and great food. read more

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had in New York City. The food was fantastic- we had chicken parm and chicken Milanese and it was prepared the traditional, classic, Italian way. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff made us feel so special by surprising us with a candle and birthday song as well as the table side gelato. Watching our server make the gelato was mesmerizing and truly a one of a kind moment. The ambience is also quite lovely, and our server, William, and the owner were friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. This became an instant favorite for us! read more

This place is amazing! We came last minute and were met with a wonderful staff and delicious food. The owner is super sweet and made the whole experience even more special. Get the meatballs! read more

I recently moved to the West Village, and went to Ferdi with friends this evening for the first time. From the moment we walked in, we were treated wonderfully. The food was fantastic, the ambiance was lovely, and the prices were very reasonable. Ferdi is now my favorite neighborhood restaurant. I wish I could give it 100 stars! read more

This place has been amazing and a much needed addition to the neighborhood. My only criticism would be more meatballs and less spaghetti in the spaghetti and meatballs. other than that, everything is spot on. The linguini and clams and chicken parm are two of my favorites and the staff and service is the best! read more

Ferdi is amazing! It was my second time there and it was wonderful being taken care of by Aida and team. It was my partner!'s birthday and they went above and beyond to make it a special night. Thank you for the service, hospitality and consistently delicious food. We will be back again soon!! read more

Food was amazing. The service felt perfectly paced and it was gorgeous inside. The drinks were delicious as well.

We heard so much about this restaurant from people who came here, so a couple of us decided to come for dinner. I can't say enough about this restaurant. We were greeted by the owners, and there daughter Aida who was very welcoming, and friendly, the whole time we were there. The Crespelle Florentino, Shrimp Scampi and there Polpette, we're a few of the appetizers we had that were very good. Then we had our dinner which was Veal and Chicken Sofia , and Bistecca which was the Prime strip loin. Everything was delicious. My new favorite restaurant in the West Village. read more

Ferdi has that human touch that is rarely found in restaurants now. My friend and I made a reservation to enjoy Italian cuisine and celebrate my birthday. Little did we anticipate that we'd receive so much more than that. The ambience in Ferdi is easy but not overly casual; there is an elegance to the interior set up and staff. My friend has a particular diet that requires her to ask questions up to the minutest detail around ingredients and preparation; our server, Will, was happy to inform her with the fullest transparency, which my friend really appreciated, bringing ease to the decision making. We ordered a creamy pasta alla russo, a tuna steak, and Spritzer cocktail. We enjoyed the meal so much that it felt seamless eating and conversing. My pasta was rich without feeling heavy or oily, and my friend appreciated that the kitchen was able to accommodate her specs around the tuna (restaurants aren't always this understanding to meet her needs). The citrusy, refreshing cocktail was a perfect send-off to summer as we transition to autumn. And the birthday surprise was a thoughtful touch, a nice cap to our very satisfying meal (it rounded up our meal perfectly! ). The service was attentive and not intrusive to our chit-chat. To our surprise, we had a chance to meet the owners! It looked like they make a point to check-in on their guests, to hear about their experience directly. It felt so genuine and they expressed their sincere gratitude for supporting their fairly new restaurant. We learned so much about the business, and was able to converse with the staff that went beyond the service - - we got to know Will and Eleazar at a personal level and we loved how the whole experience felt like we were having dinner with family. Apparently that was the goal, and surely we were won over by their heart. read more

Ferdi is exceptional! The food is delicious, the service is magnificent, the atmosphere is great, and the location can't be beat. A gem of a restaurant. Get the penne ala russa -- a cheesier take on penne ala vodka. read more

If you love a restaurant with great food and a welcoming atmosphere, Ferdi is the perfect place to go. Aida and Chef Fernando are siblings and treat customers like family. We went last night and shared Spaghetti Puttanesca and the Pollo Scarpariello (chicken with spicy peppers). Our dinner was delicious and unique. I look forward to our next trip there. read more

Best Italian restaurant in the West Village! I'm so happy they opened up in the neighborhood. The owners are so sweet, & the food is incredible! Very traditional Italian experience, with delicious pasta & wine. I've been three times since they opened up & every time know I'm getting the best experience & service. Our waiter Will on NYE was awesome & made our night so much fun. I highly recommend to anyone looking for incredible Italian food & experience in the heart of the village! read more

Great food, terrific ambience, likeable folks! We bring all our friends -- highly recommended!

Had dinner with close friends last evening. They took me to Ferdi, I can only say my experience was excellent. Food, atmosphere, service. I had the risotto, my friends had the Pollo Sicillano and Caesar salad with grilled chicken. All excellent. Dining room was not fancy but also not shabby just nice, just right. Drinks were delicious and in the right glasses ( sometimes these places just use any glass) not good. Appropriate glassware is essential to a proper drink like my Manhattan loved it. This is a family owned business, very sweet and they take pride in their food. Always making sure our experience is exceptional. In NYC there are thousands of restaurants, good restaurants. So when you get good service along with good food that's what will make you want to go to Ferdi's again and again - don't be afraid to bring your friends/family. Sandy D read more

This place is excellent! So glad I tried it after other dinner plans fell through. The service was really good, they always checked on me and my associates. I would recommend it and will absolutely be coming again, with my loved ones. It felt like a treat to come here. The food was delicious. I had the Ravioli Ferdi. Have nothing bad to say about the place. read more

I was so happy we tried - the staff was so warm and welcoming. We talked to the young talented chef about his partnership with his lovely sister, the host and learned of the town in Italy they are from. The eggplant ravioli was homemade and delicious. The mozzarella and veggie appetizer was fresh and very good. My husband loved his pasta of the day with beef and scallops. Can't wait to go back and try the hot antipasti and other dishes. Reminded me of my trip to Italy just last month! Reasonable too and full bar. read more

For 25 years I worked in Hospitality & Special Events Management and I highly recommend Ferdi Restaurant for having extraordinary food. The Chef and his Partner, who is his sister, are steadfast in their devotion to excellent food. They are committed to sourcing the freshest and finest ingredients. My husbandand I have tasted almost everything on the menu and have found it delicious. We are also impressed with the variety of sauces which enhance the food. The soups are also standouts and the menu is well priced. Visit Ferdi to Experience authentic Italian Cuisine! read more

Brand new to the west village, this restaurant is a GEM and has certainly brought strong competition against the existing Italian favorites in the area. I highly recommend ordering one of their many famous pastas, family recipes that were passed down through generations, delicious doesn't even begin to describe it! The restaurant and staff are all warm and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Incredible Italian. Great staff. Beautiful décor. Excellent location. But most importantly, an incredible story of a brother and sister's journey to open a restaurant through the pandemic to continue their family's tradition of running Italian restaurants. I recommend the seafood salad, the manzo marsala, the veal, and the penna alla russa. We will definitely be returning often! read more
