| - This was our second time to Ferro. We were impressed the last time and it's so nice and close. This time we were going to celebrate our anniversary and, so, the stakes were higher. The atmosphere is awesome. This time, we sat nearer the back. Last time, we were on the patio. Not really an option in November. I mean, I like the winter more than the next guy, but it's not going to happen. It was great to just be there.
On to the food. I just noticed a previous reviewer mentioned the mushroom crostini. We didn't have it this time, but we did last time. Wow! This time, we shared the carpaccio. It was so good. The flavours were balanced really well and it was so tasty. As an appetiser, I would recommend sharing, since you might not fit dinner in afterward, unless you happen to be famished. I had the rigatoni Bolognese, which blew my mind. It was such a simple dish, yet it was, dare I say it, perfect. My wife had lobster linguine with scallops, snow peas & red pepper. She adored it. I tried it. It was really good, but I was not in a seafood mood that night. If I were, I would have loved it. She made them take the calamari out though. That would have made it even better. On to dessert. When we had the pleasure of visiting Italy last year for our anniversary, we went on a search for the best tiramisu. Venice won. The tiramisu we had at Ferro did not quite measure up to that, but, come on, we're talking Venice here. I digress. This tiramisu was as good as any we had anywhere else in Italy though.
Price-wise, think you are going to have a remarkable meal with a real Italian flavour and then try not to look at the bill. Seriously, it is not really a bargain basement night out, but it is totally worth it. It also won't break the bank either. Did I mention it was worth it? So completely and entirely worth it?
Ferro may end up being economical enough to be your neighbourhood hangout, but you will sure wish it could be.
