I was in Vegas with my favorite Aunties and they had received a recommendation to "absolutely try" this restaurant. Let me back up for a moment so we can put this review into context: I JUST arrived home after a fun very "Vegas-y" trip to Vegas and despite how tired I am, I just HAD to write about my experience at Ferraro's. Yes. It was that good.
First, the restaurant is beautiful. It is large and open with dining rooms branching off from a gorgeous and inviting bar area (which is framed by their impressive wine vault!)
We started by having a cocktail in the bar where both the drinks and the service were fantastic.
We sat and started the somewhat painful process of narrowing down our menu selections to a handful of items. Everything both on the regular menu and the specials sounded great (they even managed to make tripe sound appetizing) but we settled on a burrata with proscuitto for a started and the buccatini and mushroom risotto for our "secondi." The buratta some of the best I've ever had and all three of us finished our risotto and pasta as they were both so flavorful with layers upon layers of depth of flavor.
Main course was a seabass on the special menu and I fear I've run out of adjectives (be nice- I did just return from Vegas!) to describe how fantastic it was. Ethereal and perfectly cooked in texture with a light and flavorful white wine reduction.
I could wax poetic about their vast wine selection for hours. Some of the bottles they have- and reasonably priced, I might add - you'd be challenged to find anywhere else in Vegas or even the western U.S. ENORMOUS Italian wine collection and the owner and staff are available and well-versed in their offerings and can guide you to the perfect selection. The only thing I'd change, and this is such a small little gripe, I'd love to see more Argentine wines on the menu as I think they could fit with the food so nicely!
Yes, it's off the strip- TAKE A CAB! You will want to drink enough wine to challenge the legal limit without a doubt. It's worth the journey and I doubt there will ever be another trip to Vegas, no matter how short, where I won't make a point to eat here. The place is magical in a way so few restaurants can achieve.
