"Ferdinando’s, now on its fourth owner since being founded in 1904, is the oldest Sicilian restaurant in town, and also one of our oldest Italian restaurants. The premises charmingly reflect its age, and the miracle is that much of the menu from a century ago remains intact (it began life only selling small round sandwiches to longshoremen). From fragrant baked clams and seafood salads to crumb-stuffed giant artichokes, the food excels. Don’t skip the celebrated pasta con sarde, a heap of thick spaghetti in a tomato sauce laced with fennel and sardines." - Robert Sietsema
