I would second the white truffle pasta! Was at Felidia last year during truffle season, and they put together a five course truffle tasting menu that was out of this world. Along with a few bottles of Gaja Barbaresco, I was in heaven.

If you like liver, they have a great liver and onions over polenta. I love that dish.

I agree, any of the pastas are great, in particular the duck ragu one. If the osso bucco is on the menu, that is one of the best dishes they make. They also have a great parm cheese for dessert with a killer balsamic.

I've only been once (years ago) with my ex and his friend who is a chef. The highlight of my meal was a bowl of pasta and the fresh white truffles they shaved over it. Memorable. Since it's white truffle season I'd suggest a similar dish, if available.

I also discovered a smoked German beer there which I continue to enjoy. More formal atmosphere. We generally prefer more casual, smaller places. Though now that I'm spending so much time in suburgatory I really miss the formal, fine dining choices in the city.

Suburgatory? Excellent word. Same here.

pappardelle with whatever ragu
osso buco if they have it

Ah, where to start? I'm a big Felidia fan. At the moment, I would vote for their version of Caprese (which apart from buffalo mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes, also has butter-poached lobster), the pork loin bruschetta with mission figs, and/or the prime rib carpaccio with lots o' truffles. For pasta, you really can't go wrong, though the 30-yolk spaghetti with braised duck is pretty amazing, as are the istrian "wedding pillows" with citrus, rum and veal. Main courses: if you like tripe, their version of calf tripe parmigiana is excellent, as is their beef cheek preparation. They also have a first-rate loin of venison. And I should mention that they have a wild fennel and ramps soup with king crab which is fantastic. Enjoy.

Caprese with butter-poached lobster??? Oh my goodness.

[uwsister]

Indeed - that dish alone makes me want to go to this place before heirloom tomatoes run out.

[buttertart]

We went there once ages ago and the service was terrible (VERY snobby). Hmm, might try again...

[uwsister]

How was the food though?

[buttertart]

Not particularly memorable.
