Great Italian Food
We loved Ferdinando's. It was our favorite Brooklyn restaurant and we visited several times while here. Food, atmosphere and service all 5 star.

Tutti Di capo no tutti frutti
Hey you gotta understand if you're gonna eat here, this is not Italian food. This is Sicilian food. You may be able to find better this side of the Atlantic but your going to pay at least 4x the price and your going to spend a whole lotta time looking. They been here for over a 100 years come on they're doing something right.

No self respecting Italian would be caught dead here
Ive heard that this place is the real deal. I dont know who has started this ugly rumor, but they should be dragged out into the street and slapped in the face by my Nonna! The wilted salads we ordered were drowned in store bought Italian dressing, the calamari and seafood salad was really fishy, and then drenched in oil to mask the fact that it was no where near fresh. As for the beef braciole... i can only say that it tasted like, and was shaped like an old sausage mixed with cornmeal. I couldn't even believe this is considered braciole by these people. Anyone who has even had brasciole once in their life would agree. Not to mention the sauce on it was a slight step under chef boyardee. Don't let Leonardo DiCaprio's picture in the window fool you.

Remembering my dad
I was probably around ten years old when my dad first took me to fernando's. I remember well the old nieghborhood. Grew up around my cousins and family in red hook. My pa introduced me to bupo salad and told me what it was when I was finished eating it what a shock to me that was. However it stuck with me till this day I still crave it. I live in florida now and every year I go back to union st to fernandos the oranginas and pinellis are to die for I don't know what id do if fernandos ever closed if you're ever in the nieghborhood it is a must have. when you're there you're family

Always a Brooklyn Girl!
I grew up in the neighborhood and moved to New Jersey 16 years ago when I got married. I drive in a few times a year to buy the vastedes and panelle specials, rice balls and potatos. My children love them! No matter how long you are away you will always crave them, they have the best Italian food.

Old School Italian Grub
The pork pizzaiole from Ferdinandos has lingered in my memories since devouring it weeks ago ... you eat this succulent chop without a knife - no kidding! Absolutely delicious! The taglietelle with eggplant is also divine. The charm of this pillar of the neighborhood is in the home cooked feeling of its dishes and staff. Excellent, no frills, authentic Italian fare.
