Felidia is the acclaimed Manhattan East Side flagship of Lidia Bastianich, open since 1981. It is here that many of Lidia’s devoted fans find her greeting each guest with the same warmth and passion that she exhibits through her television shows and cookbook.

Executive Chef Fortunato Nicotra has been with Felidia since 1996 and has brought an innovative presentation and touch to traditional ingredients and dishes from all of the regions of Italy. The New York Times three star restaurant and nominee for Outstanding Restaurant U.S. from the James Beard Foundation was a proud recipient of the Wine Spectator’s Grand Award Winning Wine List for many years.

Felidia is the perfect place to hold your special event. Whether it is an intimate wedding, a rehearsal dinner or a bridal shower, our goal is to create a seamless and enjoyable evening for you and your guests.

We have several private dining rooms which can accommodate an inti­mate group of 10 or a larger group of 45. Our staff is here to guide you and help customize a fabulous menu for your special night.
