I've been going here with my family for some years now. Ferdinando's is a small italian restaurant with exposed brick walls and old world charm. Pictures of Italy hang on the walls along with photos of the owner with celebrities. They filmed a small scene of The Departed in this place with Leo DiCaprio. I cannot comment on the regular italian dishes that are served here b/c everytime i go i get a Panelle Special. Panelle is chick pea flour made into a pancake and deep fried. The Special is served on a fresh role with ricotta cheese and grated parmigiano. Very delicious. The rice ball special (rice ball with sauce, ricotta and grated cheese) is also a must for an appetizer. Don't forget some potato croquettes, fried calamari and a Manhattan Special to wash it all down with. Expect to see an increase in your pressure and cholesterol after eating all of this fried food, but it is well worth it.
