What Cherry likes about Ferdinando's Focacceria:
MUST-TRY IN NYC. the panelle and the linguine vongole. my goodness. i don't think i've been this mindblown by food in a long time. the cheese in the panelle is just. heaven in the mouth. the vongole white sauce is like a sudden wave of flavour and deliciousness hitting you. and the bread is a lovely bonus. great service, lovely people. want to eat here every day if i could.
