    We came all the way here from the Bronx for the Vastedda sandwich... thank goodness this didn't disappoint! My coworker had these growing up as a kid in Long Island and had find memories with his grandparents. We looked up this restaurant and were so excited they still served them. Open since 1904 and has all of the charm you expect and want from a neighborhood Sicilian gem! We tried quite a few things and everything was delicious! We are already looking forward to coming back. The owner said hello and our server was so lovely. Cash only!

    This is one of the best places I have been to. The food is fantastic we started with a rice ball special. I ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture. The eggplant and meatballs were out of this world. The tiramisu was to die for. Their sauce was so good The service was fantastic. They do not rich you. And very friendly The place is so adorable love the brick wall.

    The Panelle Special was creamy, crunchy, a little tangy in a fresh, grainy homemade roll. The hot broccoli rabe was the best I've had, buttery (maybe its olive oil) with lots of garlic and seasoned just right. It's very homey and comfortable. Good and personable service. I just ate there yesterday and was moved to write a review because I saw they cut their days. I want them to last! I enjoyed Cafe Spaghetti recently across the street, but it is more modern American trying to replicate old-world Italian. Ferdinando's IS old-world Sicialian, very similar to the restaurants I knew growing up in Brooklyn.

    Like a trip back to Sicily! Very rustic and old school, I highly recommend you give this spot a try!
