| - although ferraro's has been in vegas since the 80's, we only just recently discovered it, thanks to restaurant.com.
ever since nora's wine bar's sad closure, i've been desperately looking for a comparable replacement to their offerings.
ferraro's may cost a bit more but their ambience and service most definitely make the entire experience worthwhile.
from the moment we entered the restaurant, we felt as if we were being treated like royalty.
the hosts were friendly and welcoming, the servers were knowledgeable and attentive.
the live entertainment was great too - a very charming gentleman playing jazz and standards on the piano.
and the food!!!???
oh my.
an italian restaurant that hand makes all of their pasta?
yeah, i'm all about that!
my hubby ordered the osso bucco and it was falling apart on him.
tenderoni!!!
and the farro was delicious.
i had the sea bass.
each bite just melted in my mouth.
albeit, sea bass is difficult to overcook.
1 friend ordered the rigatoni polpette o salsiccia, another ordered the spaghettini carbonara and another ordered the pappardelle mimmo.
the pastas were clearly handmade and hand cut as they were not all uniform in shape or size.
they were cooked perfectly al dente and the flavors were spot on.
desserts were delicious as well.
we had the tiramisu and creme brulee.
sure, it's not the cheapest of restaurants but it's definitely worth every penny.
all i know is that i'd much rather spend our hard earned money here than somewhere else like olive garden, macaroni grill or maggiano's.
if you're not willing to spend the money, just get a certificate from restaurant.com.
they also have a $10 lunch special.
on weekends, entrees are half price for locals only.
