Excellent food! Everything we had was delicious. Best clam chowder in the area. The spaghetti, lasagna and ravioli were all great.

Ferlito's has really good Italian food. I have tried much of what is on the menu, and I have never had anything that I didn't like. My mother is a veal parmesan fan, but she is the pickiest person in North America - she has said that this place is her favorite for veal. Plus, they have very good pizza - they make a pretty traditional pizza. This family restaurant in GP is definately one of the better options in the area. It is not at all pretentious, and the service is very good as well. If you don't want to dine in, they also have take out. read more

Service was great- timely and friendly. Not many vegan options. But the waitress was patient and helped me choose the gluten-free pasta with garlic sauce and grilled veggies. Yummy! The housemaid Italian dressing is vegan. read more

I LOVE FERLITOS. We moved to Grosse Pointe a few years ago, and Ferlito's is one of the only restaurants in the area which provides a consistently excellent experience. The lasagna is some of the best I've had that I didn't make personally. Half off amazing Italian wines on Tuesdays is super hard to beat. I bring all my friends and family here, and no one leaves hungry or unhappy. It's small, you have to order the Italian food, and sometimes they get busy, but the heart is there and they care about you-- and making you happy. I'm sad they aren't doing fruit pies from Sheila's all the time anymore, as this was my favorite dessert tradition-- pie to-go to eat with ice cream at home later! It's okay though, the meat sauce makes up for anything :) We will be long time customers, as long as nothing changes other than the decor. read more

Worst experience of my life with regards to eating out. Dinner started with waiter spilling a whole glass of water on my lap and then moving slower than a snail to clean it up....but he was sorry. Their AC unit must have been broken because it was hotter than two squirrels Mating in a wool sock. Only to pay my bill, so I could take my 16 week old son out to the car for AC. With my wife bringing out a voided paid bill because they originally billed me for the wrong table. Not the same Ferlitos I knew growing up, must have new owners. read more

I am in love with this place. I've never gone and had a meal there, but I do get delivery often. It's a great price, and a great quality. You can't beat it. read more

If you are looking for friendly, fresh and fun go to Ferlito's because our waiter Andrew was awesome. He is very knowledgeable about the food and spirits they serve. We walked out of the restaurant very satisfied. Give Ferlito's a shot you'll enjoy the expericen. read more

Very good Italian food. Quaint setting with friendly service. The food is clearly homemade and the taste reflects the authenticity. Meat Ravioli with red sauce is fantastic. I added meatballs to the order and was very pleased to have homemade, hand shaped meatballs instead of pressed pre-made meatballs. The salad bar is fresh and a nice touch. The New England Clam Chowder was definitely made fresh and with some skill. It isn't always on the menu, but their Chicken Noodle is so popular you can't go wrong. The pizza is fresh and incredible. You can't go wrong if your out for authentic Italian food and are sick of the chain restaurant's. The average price meal is around 13.00. Don't let the prices scare you off if your not use to paying that kind of money for a single dinner, believe me, it is worth the extra 3.00 over the average Italian restaurant menu price and the food is miles away from theirs. read more

Not really fine dining, the duct tape on the booth seats and the bright lights had us up and out before we could try the food. Maybe we will try carry out. read more

Just picked up pizza and salad. Lettuce in the salad was ROTTEN- completely brown and totally disgusting. On my way back to exchange it. Amazing that a restaurant would deliver such an awful product. Check your carry out or order from somewhere else. . read more

I am amazed by the positive reviews given to this place. Ferlitos certainly has good staff, but the food is just awful. Terrible. Are all the reviews written by the owners? The food is not really Italian. Rather, it is a strange suburban Mid-west interpretation of what Italian food would be like without the fresh ingredients and skilled Italian kitchen habits. Over-sweetened stale sauce poured over cheap ground beef. Is that supposed to be a tasty lasagne? A salad bar in an Italian restaurant? Come on. A subway is cheaper, fresher, tastier and better value. read more

I took my dad for lunch at Ferlito's on Sunday. I haven't been there for about 10 years and it was my dad's choice (he is 91 years old). We had an amazing meal. The entire experience was spectacular. The bread was amazing...crusty outside and grainy and soft on the inside. I had the Veal Parmigan which was outstanding and super generous portions. My dad had the Sampler which he thoroughly enjoyed and there was so much he took home enough for dinner last night. The dining room was lovely with pleasant music playing softly and the decor fitting an Italian restaurant and not overwhelming. The staff was super friendly and acommodating. The bill was reasonable for such a great meal. I will be back. So nice to see an older place come back to life. read more

Great basic Italian food. Nothing fancy, just fresh homemade food. I can echo the comments about great staff as well. We have only visited twice, but the wife said we will have to go back at least twice a month. read more

Great food and family atmosphere!! Our go-to dine in and take out dinner restaurant!! Order the gnocchi baked with cheese!

It's the best Italian food, I've had. Andrew is the best waiter ever. Lasagna is the bomb. In fact, I haven't had a bad meal. Tried about 10 different things so far. And the pies, are awesome. Make sure, you take home some. You won't regret it, later. Trying a pizza for the first time take out and the cheesy bread you gotta try it yummy yum yum read more

I absolutely love Ferlitos. We have been going here for my entire life. Introduced my husband to it, also loves it. Their food is delicious. Even if we pretend to try other Italian, we ALWAYS come back to Ferlitos! The staff is wonderful & friendly. They stay current, update their facility, but still have the same super yummy food. It's our go to for dinner, both eating in and carry out! Plus catering for family parties :) read more

First time ordering from here, ordered a carry out. They said 30 minutes which is perfectly appropriate. I in all waited an hour Bc when I went to pick up it was an extra thirty minutes that I stood there waiting for my food. Salad was great... pizza obviously got cold and soggy and the breadsticks were not cooked.... there was dough in the middle still. So I had to come back home and throw those in the oven. For $40 for breadsticks a pizza and salad I'm really disappointed. Manager didn't seem to care about the six other carry outs that weren't being taken care of either. read more

Excellent Italian food! I am a veggie and ordered the vegetarian lasagna and it was great! Service was good and waiter was fairly attentive. Huge portion, too, which I just finished up for lunch. Salad bar was good--just enough to add to my dinner, without being overwhelming. Didn't have the soup because it was not vegetarian but my husband said it was good. Hubbie pronounced the veal parmesan very good and he is a veal parmesan-aholic, so that is saying something. Nice wine and beer selection, too. Prices were very reasonable--13.95 for my huge "slab" of veggie lasagna, salad bar, and soup if I had wanted it. Wish I had left room for pie because the lemon meringue looked awesome...alas, I will just have to return (what a hardship, lol). read more

Excellent food with great service. Everything was wonderful and will return in near future. Atmosphere was peaceful and made for a delightful dining experience. read more

Always have an excellent meal here. My favorite is the vegetable lasagna, but everything is wonderful. We've been coming here for at least 35 years, so we're regulars. read more

Food is mediocre for the money. Redesign isn't as welcoming in recent years. Wait staff is good though and friendly. Can get better food for the money elsewhere. read more

This is a real nice neighborhood type Italian restaurant. Huge selection of Italian dishesand also pizza, ribs, lots of homemade pies. I ordered the breaded zucchini appetizer. Came out hot and sizzling. Serve with homemade Marinara and Ranch, the dish was cooked to perfection. The flavor was excellent, I would rate at the best fried zucchini I've ever had. The salad bar was unremarkable, not great but adequate. I ordered the lasagna for dinner. It came in a very generous pasta boat, It was the size of about two normal home sized slices baked with cheese and sauce. There marinara sauce is really tasty, even a bit sweet. It would be what I would consider a traditional flavor, fairly mild, no heavy herbs or seasonings. The lasagna was excellent, and I also ordered two meatballs, which were also very good. Others in my party ordered various stations and everyone enjoyed them all. Service was top rate and personable--friendly and each dish came out hot when it was hot, and we had a very enjoyable meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for families, and people who are looking for good, traditional Italian food at a reasonable cost. read more

I'm so sad, Ferlitos got a new owner and just went to shit. They changed their soup recipe and it's awful, tasted like hot water. My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for 25+ years and now I have no desire to go back. Before the new owner took over, every time I was sick my dad would bring me their pastina (I swear it had healing powers!) but not anymore, very disappointed. read more

We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE their lasagna!!! Even getting it as take out it is great!!!! It is a nice casual little diner! Service is great and very family oriented! read more

The best service and great food. Andy is a fun waiter who knows the menu well an offers great ideas

One of my favorites you've got to try their fettucine Alfredo it's amazing !!! Homey feel they haven't changed much in all these years also Great pies if u can save room for dessert fair prices never too busy to sit down read more

Great family run place. Kid friendly. Had the white pizza with spinach and it was amazing. My wife and mother-in-law had the normal pizza and loved it. Complimentary fresh Italian bread. We'll definitely come back! read more

What a dump! This place is nothing but an expensive diner. I ate at Ferlito's yesterday for the first (and probably last) time. Very basic, diner type atmosphere with a limited menu and child-sized plastic cups for drinking. The pasta dishes were undercooked and drowning in Ragu sauce and the salad bar was lacking. Quite expensive for second rate diner food. Nothing special about this place except our waiter was friendly. read more

This is one of the places I've given up on. The pizza can be good, sometimes. As far as the rest of the food, well not so much. I've had a couple pasta dishes and been less than impressed with the flavor or the temperature of the food. Cold Alfredo is awful and the ravioli my daughter had was so bad she couldn't eat it. I tried it and don't blame her, I didn't even bother bringing it home to give the dog. The waitress asked her about it and when she was told it was awful, the response was a shrug and "That's too bad, you didn't like it". No offer to take it off the bill or bring something else. I don't wait in line for substandard food or service with a bad attitude and we've had both more than once. read more

Being from Chicago, I have a high standard for pizza and their pizza is acutally pretty good...for Detroit. I had no complaints with it and will definately order again. The other nice thing about Ferlito's is the staff. Very friendly and welcoming. read more

Had the special steak Diane, fantastic, the sauce is amazing, with the Caramelized onions and portobello mushrooms and mashed potatoes were to die for. read more

Worst meal ever, will not go back. Had BBQ Chicken and Split Pea Soup. Have gluten sensitivity and asked about soup. Waitress came back and said she didn't know if gluten in soup since CAN of soup didn't mention it??? You mean I paid all this money for Campbell's soup? Chicken was the worst ever. Was so over cooked that close to 1/4 inch of chicken was petrified. Lousy serve too. Never came to refill water until I was asking for bill. There was only one other patron in there besides my table so it's not like they were busy on a Monday. Noticed several employees were talking and washing the walls down by the entrance to the kitchen. Would have been interesting to see if things would have turned out differently if the owner was present that night. read more

The best Italian around. We drive a half hour to get here and rarely go anywhere else. Their chicken soup is homemade and cannot be beat and their Sprite....well it's magical. read more

Pizza was sub par. I expected better from the positive reviews. Too much cheese and overall nothing special.

Best food in Grosse Pointe. Also the best priced too. Veal parm coming in at $13 is a STEAL and it's wonderful. The pizza is also worth ordering. I've had essentially everything on the menu at least twice and never disappointed. I do about 75% carry outs and dine in the rest. Always have a decent server. They do have beer and wine. read more

The calamari is absolutely fantastic. GF pasta was amazing and pasta sauce was perfectly done. Favorite Italian place!

My kids enjoy the chicken soup! I love their Chicken Piccata and gluten-free menu options.

The best Italian food hands down! The chicken parmesan dish is delicious! The staff is super friendly, warm and genuine. I will never waste my time at other Italian restaurants again! read more

Great food! We order carryout quite often. The deep dish pizza is so good. When dining in, I enjoy the salad bar; simple, but fresh and good. read more

Worst customer service from the owner, Ben. He was incredibly rude and argumentative regarding my delivery order. I would not recommend this restaurant.. read more
