Ferdinando's Gets a New Coat


The owner of Fedinando's Foccaceria, the great old Sicilian sandwich place in Carroll Gardens, has decided to spruce up a bit. The facade got a new paint job on Saturday. Nice sort of umber shade. Looks good. Brightens up the block.

cpl things + one--

1) were you here for latticini barese?

2) ferdinando's is GOOD. _______, ____ __ ________ _ & ______ are truly great. why, you might ask? bc they still gotta do it for actual sicilians & other italians, an obviously diminishing # in the "columbia heights waterfront district," or "carroll gardens (west)" (cough) area. i ain't got much bad to say about ferdinando's but except for its age & anachronism status, there's not much exceptional about it in terms of grub.

3) sorry to say (unasked) the house of pizza is dead to me.

Who Walks in Brooklyn: Yes, I was here for Latticini Barese and miss it sorely.I agree that Ferdinando's quality has fallen off a bit in recent years. But the pototo special and a few other delicacies are still peerless. And I just love the place as an entity. As for House of Pizza, I see you're a purist and don't think the pizza's the same since the place changed hands a couple years back. I myself still find enough pleasure in the pie to still patronize them.
