In Short
The padre and figlio in question are the father and son team who operated Da Antonio for years. The've settled comfortably into their new, upscale Italian steakhouse, located about as far east as you can go before your hat floats. The richly appointed, dimly lit room boasts trompe l'oeil bookshelf wallpaper, jewel-tone fabrics and low ceilings like a grotto in Rome. Owners Mario and Antonio Cerra warmly welcome displaced Da Antonio regulars, international negotiators and eastsiders grateful for the extensive menu that features pastas, steaks and Italian classics, as well as more adventurous entrees like boar, buffalo and ostrich.

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 For more see ditmas estates

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

This is my first review to citysearch.The absolute best food I've had in NY. Worth the wait and the price. I had the lobster ravioli which amazingly melted in your mouth. The service was gracious and prompt. If I could afford it, I'd eat there all the time!
