I recently discovered Ferraro's as I was driving aimlessly around the area trying to find a lunch spot to tantalize my taste buds. I stumbled across this swanky Italian joint as there was a huge, yellow banner advertising their $9.95 lunch specials. I made a sharp right and decided to give it a shot.
I had heard about this place and had basically wrote it off because I have heard how expensive their dinner menu is (that holds true and I still wouldn't ever be able to come for dinner) but that's why I was delighted when I saw a lunch banner. You can choose from 3 different pasta selections that rotate daily as well as your choice of a cup of soup or salad for $9.95. I'm in!
Now did the food hold up to this Italian girl's high standards?
The answer is yes, yes, yes. I was given a bread basket to start with rolls nestled warmly in a blanket accompanied by a stained glass-like painting of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. These scrumptious little pillows held my anxious stomach at bay until my main dish arrived. Fettuccini alfredo with grilled chicken....ahhh. There were ribbons of scratch-made noodles arranged perfectly on the plate with creamy, silky smooth alfredo sauce that would make even my Nona blush, all topped off with a fresh grilled rosemary chicken breast...it was Italy...home away from home, and within that moment, they had a customer for life.
