    Went to Felidia last night (Thursday Oct.15th), a party of 4. I was the only one that had Pasta. I had the Le Tagliatelle, it was delicious, way above average. Only negative was the dining area felt a little too cramped.

      They are very different types of places.

      and at this time of year, I'd be having GAME at Felidia. Nicotra does a great job with it. ;)

        Same here - never been to Esca, but love Felidia. I had the tasting menu and recall enjoying the pasta immensely.

          I went to Felidia's last year and really liked it. Unfortunately, I didn't get pasta. I got something with meat instead. I know that there's been mixed reviews about that place but everything that night (food, service, atmosphere) was just grand. I would definitely go again.
