Ferraro’s Restaurant and Pizzeria

The food is OK — and the service is not too good. They are nice but forgetful and very slow

stopped in with my brother a few months ago. had some plain slices and cans of soda. the place was cozy, service was friendly, and the slices were GREAT. i now consider one of my favorite slices of pizza in Middlesex county. thank you Ferraro’s.

ordered a pizza over the phone at 9:20 pm for delivery, and they close at 10:00 pm. they told me they deliver and took my order. then called me back and said they could not make my order.
A pizza place cannot make a pizza???
I will NEVER go to or call this place again.
You just lost another customer.

Ferraro’s has a promotion that Monday-​Thursday you can have a dinner for $ 10.00. There are a dozen options. Sounds good, but the catch is you simply get a smaller portion so you’re not saving anything. It’s a great way lure customers in during the slow nights. My dinner was good but it should be called a «senior special» every night.

Not a huge fan of this place. Slow service and mediocre food is usually my experience at Ferraro’s. There are some positives to the meal, the bread they bring out is always nice and warm. Also, the salad is very good. It’s crisp and fresh with a generous amount of salad dressing on top.
But that’s really where the positives end. All of my main courses there have been pretty blah. Last night I had the gnocchi in a marinara sauce. First of all, the meal was suppose to come with mozzarella cheese and there was no cheese in sight. I noticed other Unilocalers have had trouble getting specific cheeses on their meals or any cheese at all. I guess they like to hold on to their «fancy» cheese. Second, the sauce was not very good. It was very watery and did not have much flavor at all.
There are many other Italian restaurants in the area, I’d check them all out first before you end up at Ferraro’s.

Despite the mediocre reviews on Unilocal I decided to give Ferraro’s a try. Should have trusted the reviews. I ended up ordering a large pepperoni calzone and my friend ordered the penne vodka. Both were pretty bad. Although I ordered a large calzone what I got was this skimpy little undercooked piece of dough with hardly any filling. The sauce that came with the calzone literally tasted like a plain can of crushed tomato with absolutely no flavor and very watery. My friend said her penne vodka was both bland and watery as well. We will definitely not be ordering from this place again.

Great restaurant. I’ve lived close by for years but didn’t discover until a few months ago. I’ve eaten there about three times already, and their food is just great. I haven’t tried their pizza yet, but their house salad, Italian dinners, and desert are to die for. The wait staff are very kind. I will be returning soon.

My parents brought home a pizza and told to have light on the sauce. This is what we got. It looks like light on the cheese was burnt on the bottom. Horrible and isn’t worth $ 13.

this place has the thinnest pizza you could ever possibly imagine and it is DELICIOUS!

Nice at home feel, nice staff and the food is spectacular. The gentleman Steve serving was even nice enough to congratulate me on my girlfriends pregnancy. Go for the chicken parm you will not regret it !!

This place is a BYOB! Their house salad is to die for in fact I have ordered take out just for it. Their bread is fantastic and everyone is treated to it. It is a converted cape cod so it gives an at home feel. The service is also a mom and pop feel so you will not be rushed for sure. The food is delicious. I have had several parties catered by them and they do a wonderful job! Take the time to treat yourself here.

I came here with my friend the other night and it wasn’t that good. We had to wait to be seated even though i saw 4 open tables. Our server brought out the salad but with no plates. She never introduced herself. All she said was «Are you ready?» I was very unhappy because a nice hi, welcome to Ferraro’s my name is _​_​_​_​_​. What can i get for you? Would have been nice. She brought out the food in a timely manner. Was ontop of refills. Was okay after that but not great. I got chicken parm which was not that great. In my opinion, go to Mama Lena’s in Hopelawn.

The food is okay, i love the pizza (2 dollars plain slice) & the tomato bread, though. The worst thing of Ferraro’s is the service that is very slow. It is a BYOB — so you can drink your whole bottle of wine while you wait 15 mins for the waitress to bring you the check.

This place has been here forever. I remember stopping by after seeing my orthodontist across the street. $ 2 for a slice. It’s a good slice.

We’ve been going here semi-​regularly for many years. For the price, 4 stars is reasonable. They have the best «salad for two» I’ve ever had — simple, fresh ingredients: romaine, carrots, red onion, tomatoes, awesome fresh cubes of provolone and the best Italian dressing I’ve ever had. And the tomato bread is excellent.
The entrees are good, but not great — love most of the pastas (spaghetti with meatball and sausage and linguini with white clam sauce are both excellent), but some of the meat dishes are underwhelming (like the chicken francese and the veal parm — just good) — I’d probably give 3 stars for the entrees, but the salad pushes it up to 4 — in fact, the salad is the biggest reason we go there. Pizza is pretty good (wife loves the flatbread pizzas). Service is fine and atmosphere is standard small mom/​pop Italian.

Well, we came her for lunch, with some coworkers.
This place isn’t a sparkling restaurant, a little dingy inside, but there is table service.
The menu is pretty decent, personal thin crust pizzas, sandwiches, entrees, etc. It all looked great.
I ordered the sandwich (can’t remember the name) with Broccoli raab, prosciutto and sharp provolone cheese. A coworker ordered a Cheese steak, but instead of american cheese he wanted provolone, the server said that they don’t have it, but she will check with the cook, if it comes out with provolone then they have it, if not… sorry. I didn’t say anything because I was curious about my results.
The food came out, My sandwich came out with spinach, prosciutto and SHARP PROVOLONE, my coworker got American cheese. Womp. It doesn’t really make sense, but it’s not totally surprising. Anyway my sandwich was delicious, I would have preferred broccoli raab for the added crunch, but it was great to add a sauteed veggie to a meat and cheese sandwich. The bread was super fresh too, so no complaints there.
Everyone loved their personal pies and sandwiches and the bill with tip and drinks came to about 11/​person, which isn’t bad at all for a sit down meal.
I would come here again, I just got a weird vibe. Maybe they give regulars better access to their cheese selection, but none the less it was pretty good.

I go because friends of ours like the place. It is okay, the thinny think pizza is good, food is okay. It is a BYOB and having the liquor store across the street makes for convince. Nothing I have had stands out but I have not had anything bad. «Okay» is where I stand on this place. People are friendly and it does get busy… I will keep going back and update if needed.
Remember to always drink reasonably

Ok service. Very tasty gnocchi. Pleasant atmosphere. Tv with sports. Not expensive.

This place is wack. No Pizza by the slice and the chicken in my salad taste like charcoal.
Ass.

I prefer this one to the one on Inman even though that one is closer for me. Something about this one that reminds me of the casual Italian restaurants that I used to go to in my younger days living in NY. I have always stuck to the basics here and have never been disappointed.
Last night I had the manicotti and it was really good. On prior visits, I’ve had the chicken parm and lasagne and enjoyed them too. As an aside, their table bread is great. Hot from the oven and tasty.
Not a fine dining place but a great place to go to for a good meal in what to me is an old style atmosphere served by very helpful and attentive staff.
