Ferdinando's Focacceria, a historic Sicilian restaurant in Carroll Gardens, will reopen under new management by local restaurateur Sal Lamboglia after its sudden closure. Frank Buffa, the former owner, believes Lamboglia will honor the restaurant’s legacy while incorporating a modern style, including potential new menu items and improvements to the space. Despite the changes, Buffa assures that the restaurant’s charm and classic decor will largely remain intact. Lamboglia's commitment to the community and culinary continuity has generated excitement for the reopening, while Buffa offers his recipes to preserve traditional flavors.
"To me, it's an honor to be handed the keys to a Brooklyn institution like Ferdinando's," Lamboglia said in a statement shared with The Post.
"I think he's able to continue Ferdinando's with a new style," Buffa told The Post, confirming that Lamboglia will keep the eatery's name.
"He'll put a signature drink [on the menu] and make it for the new generation, but also maybe he'll keep some old Sicilian recipes," Buffa added.
"I like his ideas. It's a modern style," Buffa added.
