Summer Steal: Fridays at Felidia

Summer Fridays at Felidia
Everyone knows that Manhattan empties out on sultry weekends in July and August, when the in-crowd flees to the cooler precincts of the Hamptons. With that in mind, Felidia, the flagship restaurant of celebrity chef Lidia Bastianich, is offering a discounted tasting menu on Friday evenings this summer.

The choices presented on the four-part menu at the elegant brownstone restaurant on East 58th Street aren't exactly steals, but given the food's exquisiteness and the fact that on a typical night there the tab can easily approach $200 a head, they're worth digging into. For $21, you can choose a sampling of three assaggini (or first courses), including veal semi-carpaccio with celery and Grana Padano cheese. There are also three "pastas on a fork"--long strands like tagliatelle that can be twirled--served as a tasting for the same price, or a la carte ($10–$18). Just be sure to save room the dish Felidia is most famous for: cacio e pere, a fresh pear and pecorino–filled ravioli. It's so delicious, order it a la carte ($10) rather than in a tasting with two other "classics" of the house. Accompanying the menu is a special wine list composed of bottles priced at $30 and under.

Reservations are required. Call (212) 758-1479 or visit www.felidia-nyc.com. Cin Cin!
