| - Feeling some Italian, my friend and I stopped in at Ferro on a busy night not too long ago.
First to note is the decor. Just wonderful. The ceiling painting is so old-school looking, it's great.
We were seated near the back of the place, and waited for a little bit for someone to come by, but nobody did...until a waitress came to re-seat us to the front of the restaurant, as they were closing the back section for the evening. What the hell? Anyway.
The spot where we were re-seated bugged me. It was right next to the bar, and some sort of game was on, and that area was way too noisey. That would be my only real complaint about Ferro. Most of the restaurant wants to be a nice and relaxing Italian restaurant, and the one corner wants desperately to be a noisy sports bar.
Once we got the ball rolling with our orders, things got better. Though the waitress came by very rarely, and often long after our glasses were empty, we got what we ordered, and she was pretty friendly.
The food itself was great. We ordered one of their specialty pizzas, and the seafood platter to pick away at. No complaints whatsoever in this department.
Overall, mostly a great atmosphere, and great food. Loses points for the crappy "Sports Bar Section", and not-as-great-as-the-food service. I'd return.
