Could Have Been In Balogna Italy

by LinusAndSally

The menu has great selections no matter your taste. And the wine list does not disappoint either. We had a party of 10 and everybody was very satisfied with the food, drink and service. I would go back there in a heartbeat.

East Side NY Gem

by Gavin Forrester

This Restaurant is an amazing gem located on the east side. Antonio & Mario Cerra greet you as if you were family and make you feel like you are a restaurant regular regardless if this is the first time you have ever visited. The wait staff is a tentative and knowledgeable and the food is delicious. My party enjoyed the oyster’s casino appetizer followed by a pasta sampler and concluded with Dover Sole, Tuna that was amazing, and Crab stuffed Madagascar Prawns the size of lobster tails. We went on a night that they provided entertainment and the entire atmosphere was like a big family gathering. We will definitely be back for more dining experiences

Great Food with an Incredible deal!

by laylaprentice

Absolutely incredible food. The staff was even better! To top it off, I found this deal for a $40 gift certificate for only $18 bucks. I got to enjoy all of this great food for more than 50% off. Look at halfoffdepot if you are interested in the deal. It is worth the full price, but out of this world for half off!

• Pros: Everyone should know about this place
• Cons: Really could not find any cons

In the presence of professionals

by dshapusa

There is something about Padre Figlio, which just tells you they know what they are doing. It starts with the hostess, who greets you by name even though you have never been there before and have not announced yourself. The Maitre D’ proceeds to announce the voluminous specials of the day, including the ingredients and the method of preparation…just so.

We were not interested in just beef, I wanted to see what the chef can do and even this jaded New Yorker was impressed. Some of us started with a wonderful tricolor salad topped with slivers of Romano cheese. I had a pickled eggplant and mushroom mélange wrapped in radicchio with gobs of freshly made buffalo milk mozzarella, still warm and silky smooth. Ah…yes

Pasta is the reason for Italy’s existence and my judgment is strict and unforgiving. I am not sure what they called my dish. It was a variation of Spaghetti Matricana. Home made spaghetti perfectly al dente, with pancetta (unsmoked bacon), onion, and garlic with slices of filet mignon in an excellent tomato sauce topped with ricotta. The serving was so large, I cancelled my next course. Also at the table was home made lobster ravioli with large chucks of lobster and a perfectly grilled mediterrain sea bass.

It’s a rough life, but someone has to do it and I am volunteering for your share at Padre Figlio.

Dinner for four was $ 250 with a tip. But I noticed that they have a limited menu prix fixe dinner at $ 35. I am definitely going back to try it

One of the best places in New York

by Deveeight

I went there to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. I must say I was rather impressed with the menu, Not to fancy but not to ordinary either. The food was fantastic as well as the tiramisu which I highly recommend. The service was great not on top of you but not away from you that you couldn't find the waiter. I highly recommend this spot as a great place for a romantic dinner with your significant other

• Pros: Food and Service
• Cons: None that I can think of
