About Ferdinando's Focacceria

Ferdinando's Focacceria is a Brooklyn staple in Carroll Gardens, offering good Sicilian-American fare. The restaurant has a simple and delicious menu that has remained consistent over time. Visitors can enjoy the panelle special, seafood salad, spaghetti with clams and white sauce, and the spleen, which many find surprising and flavorful. The old-school atmosphere and friendly service create a nostalgic dining experience, reminiscent of traditional Sicilian streets and family gatherings. The waitstaff is patient and accommodating, even with indecisive guests. Be sure to bring cash, as this establishment is cash-only. A unique highlight is the espresso style soda on tap, adding to the authentic vibe. The owner is often on-site and remembers guests' stories, making each visit feel like a visit to a family member’s home. Ferdinando's remains a favorite for small groups, date nights, and anyone looking for genuine Sicilian comfort food in a warm, nostalgic setting.
