    The inside looks great!
    Tim K.

    This new restaurant is where the old Zeko's was. They've done wonders with the inside. The interior is fun, clean. Festive and modern. Their centerpiece is a new bar. It's beautiful. The decor is Uber Mexican. Sombreros hang on the wall and paper lanterns from the ceiling. We were seated promptly and our server was very friendly. The tables have been redone. You can tell they out a lot of money in renovating the interior. So you know, communication was an issue. Yes, I know it's a Mexican restaurant but we had difficulty communicating my shellfish allergy and asking if foods were prepared with the shellfish. Turns out they DO NOT have shellfish allergy protocols in place. So just a word of warning. I'm glad I found this out before I tried the chips and dip. The chips are fried in the same oil as the shrimp. Feeling brave anyway, I ordered the steak ACP and my daughter Mae got the chicken ACP. The server failed to mention the plates were hot and we both burned our fingers. Now on to the food. This wasn't my usual experience of ACP. The dish consisted of a very thin layer of rice, with diced steak on top with a small amount of melted shredded cheese. My daughter's was the same except with diced chicken. There was NO QUESO in this dish. It came with a small sour cream salad on the hot plate. Just so you know, cold lettuce and cold sour cream on a very hot plate doesn't stay cold for long. The food was very disappointing. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't good. It was flavorless, bland and the opposite of what you think Mexican should be. The rice was bland. The chicken was bland. The steak was bland. And I didn't get to try their chips and salsa because they cook their chips in the same oil they fry the shrimp in. My daughter ate about 1/4 of it and told Me it wasn't worth the calories. I ate mine because I was hungry and don't like wasting money. Maybe ACP isn't their strong point, I don't know. How can a Mexican restaurant not make a good ACP? SIDE NOTE: The music was way too loud. And this is from someone with profound hearing loss. My daughter and I couldn't hold a conversation and we both left with headaches. Plus, it was a live recording and the guys voice was awful. Bad experience + no allergy protocols gives this one two thumbs down. I don't mean to dog a new restaurant. This place isn't for me. I like flavorful food and not having to worry if I'm going to go to the ER due to anaphylactic shock. Maybe their other dishes are better. I hate that things didn't go better. Maybe my other daughter and wife will have a better experience. But for my youngest daughter and me, we have better Mexican restaurants in Mocksville that we can go to.

    This location is fairly new but on the opposite side of our normal space. Decided to come over and try and we will be back!!! Service was awesome and honestly if you are looking for karaoke entertainment this is the place to be Friday and Saturday

    I've been really excited to try this place since I heard about it coming! They did a lot of work renovating it and it looks great! I loved the decor. Their menu is pretty standard. It was lunch time so I had the fajita burrito with chicken. It was delicious, I really liked the cheese sauce on it, although the peppers definitely could have been cooked more. It was a little hard to cut through them. Our server was very very friendly, although it was apparent he didn't understand English very well. The salsa they brought out had a really good flavor with lots of cilantro and I loved it but the dish they served it in was extremely shallow and the four of us went through it really quickly. One of the orders at our table was meant to be vegetable fajitas, but came with chicken. We weren't upset about it and they didn't charge us for the chicken, but I do think it was most likely because of the language barrier. We'll definitely be back to try out more things on the menu!

    The food is amazing. Wait staff is very friendly too. I ate enchiladas, not only were they good, but so were the refried beans and rice.

    Ferrucci's Italian Market is an absolute gem! I stopped in craving their Pollo sandwich (the basil…read morepesto chicken salad), but they had run out of the chicken salad. Since I thought they were out, I ordered something else. Instead of just preparing my "backup" sandwich, the gentleman working there surprised me and went above and beyond by making a fresh batch just so I could have the sandwich I wanted. Not to mention this was during the lunch rush. That kind of service is incredibly rare and speaks volumes about how much they care about their customers. The Pollo sandwich was absolutely delicious. I have been wanting to try it and I'm so glad I did! I highly recommend Ferrucci's to anyone looking for authentic Italian food and genuine hospitality!

Find another case with a variety of steaks ready to be cut - ribeye and NY strip were just a few examples. The cases have oils and spices to enhance your cooking. At lunchtime on Saturday there was a line to order sandwiches but it moved pretty quickly. The meats, peppers, seasoning, and bread far surpass anything you'd get at a chain sub shop. Half a sandwich filled me up which meant I got to enjoy the rest for lunch the next day. Between cold cuts, paninis, and hot sandwiches there are a variety of sandwich options. Grab one of the tables inside or sit at a table on the sidewalk on a nice day and enjoy a great lunch at Ferrucci's.

    This is a really beautiful restaurant nestled in an older part of town in what was obviously a…read morechurch. This gives a great experience just for the venue itself. We met our party at the table covered in white linen. Definitely dress up a little. No need for formal wear but don't wear a tee shirt and jeans! Plenty of staff milling about all working to give everyone a good experience. It took a minute for anyone to come back to the table once we had an arrived. Our main waitress was nice and took our drink order. No cold glasses for the beer. This level of restaurant should have this available. This is where space may be an issue due to the old bones of the church. Lots of wine on shelves and on the menu. A fair amount of beer selection and ask, because they had Peroni, but it wasn't on the menu. They brought focaccia bread with olive oil. It was warm and fresh. I had the chicken cutlets, lightly fried over cut potatoes and spinach, with a very good brown sauce with mushrooms. The waitress had told us that the potatoes were mashed, but it didn't matter. The dish was tasty and came out hot. The price point was a little high for chicken, but you're paying for the experience and ambience as well, so not an issue for us. Keep this in mind if the venue is not your thing. My wife had the fresh fettuccini with garlic and mushrooms. The brown sauce was very similar to the one used on the chicken. Tasty but over salted. The other couple also ordered the chicken and enjoyed it and also the ravioli with sausage and broccoli rob with a white sauce. No description on the menu for the sauce. We all ordered the Caesar salad that was made table side. The curious thing was that my wife and I said we'd split the $13 salad and they gave us each a sizable plate from the same mixing bowl. Our friends ordered and didn't specify that they wanted to split the salad and were each charged $13? We all pretty much had the same portions. The salad was good but I had to ask for fresh black pepper. And no anchovies. Got to have them for an authentic Caesar salad. I know most folks don't like them, but at least offer them on the side. Dessert was seen all thru out the meal as it rolled by on a cart. It was a nice presentation and a good selection. Our friend had the crème brûlée cheese cake. Very nice and fresh. Everyone was nice and clean place with pretty good food and top notch ambience. This place would be great for a romantic dinner or special celebration. I'd go back for a second meal if we're near the area. The service was nice but you get a variety of servers and no one really takes on the table themselves and interacts to form that real dining experience. Don't get me wrong everyone was pleasant, but no one really stepped it up. The restaurant was fairly full but not overwhelming.

    Location was beautiful! However, once we were seated they gave us water and came back 10 minutes…read morelater and gave us only drink menus.... 15 minutes into the service, we finally received actual menus. Only two other tables at the time, so not busy at all. Service was not great. Very weird vibes in there with the staff and they seemed to not want to be there. Food was way too overpriced for how average it tasted. The sauces were very watery and food was insanely salty. Our whole table came home and stayed in the bathroom all night. We definitely thought the all the food was frozen and sauce was just poured on top. Has lots of potential, but this was not a good experience.

    Who wouldn't like an authentic Italian market with homemade Italian favorites?…read more The moment you walk through the door, your senses are on overload from the sites and smells of meats, cheeses and the aroma of garlic that make you want to taste everything you see. The gentlemen working there are so handsome and helpful. They were eager to assist and the service is top notch. They get you in and out quickly, without sacrificing quality. Dats what I'm talkin about! Their artichokes look so good. I can't stop thinking about them and am kicking myself in the pants for not getting some. Oh well, I guess that means I'll be forced to go back and get some. Ha! What I did get was the Italian Stallion sub and the Meatball Parm sub. First. Let's talk about the bread. FRESH and slightly crunchy on the outside, with the perfect amount of chewy, and pillowy yet dense on the inside. The BEST bread on a sub that I've found in NC. The Marinara on the sub is authentic Italian marinara with just the right amount of cheese, but those MEATBALLS...I've never had a meatball quite like theirs and they are homemade, delicious with the perfect seasonings. Yum! The Italian Stallion. Absolutely the BEST sandwich I think I've ever eaten. They don't skimp on the meat that's for sure and its QUALITY cold cuts all the way. And the best thing about getting food from here? Their prices. They have kept their prices on the lean side while still keeping their sandwiches fat. Love love love! So what ya gonna do about it? Go back for more! That's what! This is a 100% YES and I will be recommending to everyone.

    Great authentic Italian food very tasty and delicious…read more The service was fast, maybe too fast you don't have time to think The ambiance is pickup and go, no space or environment to stay
