The food reminds me of coming here with my dad 35 years ago when he worked on the docks. Same place and the food straight from the streets of Sicily! Try the spleen. You’ll be in for a surprise.

The food simply isn’t good at all. It’s actually kinda bad. It wasn’t fresh and heated in chef mike. That doesn’t work well for fried food (the chick peas) which should be freshly made. That’s kinda the whole point of going to a restaurant, to get decent food. The rice ball was badly made, oldish, and not heated up evenly/properly. It’s pretty clear that this place has been ruined. After 130 years it doesn’t deserve to stay in business with all the great alternatives out there. We were joking about how if desperate, we still wouldn’t eat this food and use it as bait instead.
The reviewers have clearly been deprived of decent food.
Also FYI it’s cash only and while I found out from reviews they really should make that clearer.

I have been going to Ferdinandos since I was a child and before me, my parents and grandparents. No matter where I lived, I’ve always gone back for the rice balls and panella specials. My husband surprised me today and brought home rice balls. I have to say that the entire rice ball is not the same as it was. There is a Weird flavor that was never there before. It was almost inedible. I have never been so disappointed. Why change a winning recipe? It’s beyond me. I hope they go back to the original. I’ll give it another try and hope it tastes as it always did.
Great lunch, great veal cutlet parm sandwich
