Had dinner there for the first time with my daughter. The food was absolutely delicious. My daughter's family is from Italy so she grew up with authentic food and she is very picky. It's her favorite restaurant and she goes once a week so had to try it. The salads were real salads, not just lettuce thrown on a plate. The portions were perfect, the prices are extremely reasonable. We also got to go orders. The staff were friendly, attentive, just amazing service. Highly recommend!!!! read more

It went from bad to worse. We were charged $4 to split a plate. We ordered a second salad which we were charged for and didn't receive. The manicotti was nothing special. read more

I grew up down the street from here and never made it into this restaurant for some reason and I'm absolutely bummed about that because it's delicious... finally went in last week and had the trio- the table bread was great, the wine was decent, the service was awesome (despite being so busy), and the lasagne was probably my favorite of the 3. I will definitely be back- especially for their 2 for $30 deal they offer on Thursdays! read more

Staff were great and patient when dealing with our very large party. Food was horrible. I got the chicken Parmesan and the chicken was not good. Tastes like it was taken out of the freezer and like it had been reheated in the microwave, 5 minutes before serving. Someone else in my party got spaghetti with meat sauce and the meat looked gray. Service was great, but food was subpar. Not yummy enough for their prices. read more

Waitress was wonderful!!! Food was abysmal. Processed frozen chicken, reheated pasta (pile of clumped up goo), and a "piccata" sauce that was jarred Alfredo with a lemon. Call Gordon Ramsey for the next episode of Kitchen Nightmares! read more

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner here for Valentine's Day. The servings were ample and delicious and the service was excellent. In spite of being a packed house, it was an awesome experience. Ferraro's is our favorite for good Italian food! read more

Wait staff was nice. Floors and tables were clean. Food was sub par and then some. Think Olive Garden in a mall cooked by teenagers but double the price. It was bad. They up charged me $6 to add vegetables to my $26 fettuccine. No appetizers or drinks and 2 plates of pasta that were nearly inedible for $65. The complementary soup was obviously from a tin. I could keep going but I will spare you. read more

It was my birthday but I felt the waitress hurried us & forgot about the complimentarspumoni until I reminded her & the chicken Parma -Sean was too salty & mostly bread. Maybe I. I'm just a grouchy old lady but I will say the ambiance was nice. read more

Last night was my first time eating at Ferraro's and I'm happy to report it won't be the last. We started with the fried calamari and then ordered eggplant parmigiana and sirloin fettuccine as our entrees. The calamari was good with a light breading so it wasn't heavy at all. You get a choice or homemade soup or salad with entrees. I chose the vegetarian minestrone soup and it was just as good as the stuff I grew up on (made by my Italian family). Eggplant parm is usually my go-to at Italian restaurants and I really enjoyed it here. My husband ordered the fettuccine, which is actually on special for $21 on Wednesdays, and thought it was very good. We had a lovely server who was very sweet and helpful. She was a joy each time she came to check on us. Unfortunately didn't get her name but I'd be happy to come back and see her again. read more

I drive past this restaurant all the time and thought we would give it a try. First thing for me was the smell. I like to walk in and smell the welcoming of the foods. It was not so here, it smelled old and stale to me. But I wanted to give it a chance. Old buildings can be that way and I did feel it had a lot of history in the building. We were seated right away. Only a few patrons eating at the time, it was 5:30. Our server took our drink order right away. I had my usual, a Bloody Mary. It came with mostly all ice. So that disappeared quickly. I had the cannenoli with half red and half white sauce and a houssalad. The salad was pre bagged mix and dressing was scarce. Very skimpy. The bread served with the meal was hard and stale. The entree was okay. Nothing special and the sauce was very salty. Portion was fine. I ate about half of it. The server brought us the wrong meal at first. It was suppose to be the other patrons and she picked it back up and took it to them after it was sitting in front of us. I don't think I would have liked that if it was the other way around. She was a bit lacking in energy and acted like she really didn't like her job. Friendly enough but not really happy. Topped our meal off with a cup of spumoni that was so hard and frost covered. Priced a bit high for basic Italian food. Don't think we will be returning. There are too many good eateries yet to explore. read more

Food was subpar, awful tasting. My salad came to the table with the Italian dressing spilled all over the plate. The gelato was hard and freezer burned. Would have liked a 2nd cocktail but the waitress ghosted us and instead was wiping tables down with a bleach mixture which was gross while eating food. Definitely will not be back. read more

Good service, nice atmosphere, good music selection and the volume was perfect (if you can't hear it why bother but too loud is worse), and the food was incredible! Highly recommend! read more

WOW! The second we walked into the restaurant I was welcomed by the smell, it was the epitome of Italian food. The service was great, our waiter was very attentive and nice. After ordering our food came out almost immediately. Love that. The marinara and the alfredo sauces alone were delectable. We were so surprised by the prices, The quality of the food is worth so much more than what they charge. We were happy that we (my boyfriend and I) didn't have to spend more than a hundred dollars for such amazing service, food, and everything. Don't forget dessert either! The chocolate lava cake was so good. We will MAKE SURE to visit again! read more

We had reservations since it was Saturday night. We were greeted and seated right away and our server brought menus and water. My husband and our friend ordered a draft Pieroni Pilsner, I ordered Lambrusco. They were out of the Lambrusco so I just had water. I ordered the lasagna and for $1 added a Caesar salad. My husband ordered the Twins #2 Spaghetti which had 1/2 "meat" sauce and 1/2 "browned butter" with mizythra cheese and the minestrone soup. Our friends ordered Chicken Alfredo with a dinner salad and an Italian Chef's Salad. Lasagna - good size portion and I could taste the ricotta. The sauce was pretty good. The Caesar salad was so small it was ridiculous. Spaghetti Combo - the red sauce half tasted like the "meat sauce" was marinara with a crumbled meatball. The mizythra on the other half was generous, however the butter was just melted, not browned. The minestrone did have pastina but was otherwise pretty bland. Chicken Alfredo - boring and it was almost tasteless. Italian Chef's Salad - good and probably what we all should have ordered. Several slices of a baguette were served with a small amount of olive oil for dipping. Spumoni ice cream comes with all dinners and it was super good. I really wanted to like this restaurant but there's much better Italian food in Spokane. read more

I ordered for the first time today. I was worried about how much food I would get for the price I was paying. I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a sort of Sampler of pesro pasta, lasagna, and ravioli. It came with a small side salad and bread with garlic butter. They did not skimp on the meat in the lasagna. Other restaurants, it's just sprinkled in. Very happy with my order and have leftovers for later. read more

Real deal Italian Meal. Our first time visit was excellent tonight. We had chicken parmigiana and seafood fehttuchini Alfredo. Meals come with side salad, bread, oil/balsamic and herb butter and ice cream. Our meals were hot and delicious. All portions were great size. Service was spot on. & the Spumoni ice cream was the perfect end. A cross between homemade Italian & Spaghetti factory, better quality than any chain Italian. read more

Great service and food is amazing! The atmosphere is very old school but in a good way like a cool cabin.

My daughter in law, my 10 year old granddaughter and myself ate there this past Friday night. Granted it was almost closing time in about 8 hours after eating upset stomach, diarrhea, intestinal cramping that lasted all night and all day Saturday. I don't think we will ever go back. I believe food poisoning was on that menu! read more

Service was great. The bread and dipping oil is so divine! It was a great stop after a long day of volleyball!! Definitely would recommend

Just had date night (day) there and OMG they are so good, and Samantha is the best server ever!

My wife and I had dinner here last night, our first visit; there was the warm comfortable feel of a long-established restaurant. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated; our tasty beverages came right out. The dinners came with salad and bread, they were tasty but standard. Mary had the Twins, browned butter and mizithra cheese, along with meat sauce, on spaghetti, tasty. I had the Veal Piccata; veal cutlets sauteed with lemon, white wine, garlic, butter and capers, served with angel hair pasta and creamy alfredo, tasty. There was a scoop of Huckleberry ice-cream included, very tasty. read more

I come to Spokane once a year for a few days. Every time my friends and I make it a point to dine here for dinner at least once. I've been here about 6 times now. The food is excellent and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The vibe is nice and an overall great experience. Prices are decent too! I 10/10 recommend. PS. The mozzarella sticks are some of my all time faves. read more

I often drive past Ferraro's when I'm out and about, finally had decided to stop in and try it out. I had ordered the sampler appetizer plate and the seafood fettuccine. The mozzarella sticks definitely steals the show, very delicious and the breading was light and perfectly crispy. The seafood fettuccine had a stingy amount of shrimp and clams and the sauce was broken-- tasted a bit dull, soggy and greasy. The price of this entree (~$27-$30) was very disappointing due to the quality. Though our server was very attentive, friendly and kept checking up on us. read more

Ferraro's - Sampler Appetizer - Italian Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Ferraro's was always a place we wanted to try since we go by the Reaturant every single time we head to Spokane. To our disappointment it wasn't a pleasurable experience. As soon as you enter the Reaturant has a very old smell to it a similar smell when you step into a. Thrift store very musty. The service was great in which I gave it another star rather than a one. The server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Now the crème of the crop how really was the food? To be absolutely honest, I ended up getting the chicken Parmesan ... though I was recommended that it was the best in the menu it fears me for the other items that they have. The chicken itself felt like it was frozen and pulled out of a Costco chicken bag deep fried. The tomato sauce tasted like you cracked open a bottle of preggo warmed it up and called it Italian. read more

The food was amazing! I come from an Italian family and I can say the sauce's had just the right blend of spices! No acidic flavor. The service was 100 per cent the best! Our server was attentive! The ambiance was so nostalgic. The family pictures on the wall told a story of this wonderful family! It was our first time visiting but it won't be our last! Well done!!!! read more

went during the restaurant week .. the food was alright but one thing caught my attention and it wasn't settling to be honest .. Order a pasta entree. The entree anyway comes with a side of soup / salad followed by the spumoni ice cream .. let's say I ordered a chicken fettuccine it is $17.95 + taxes. The same thing was $22 in the restaurant week .. which sucked. Not done. read more

Great Italian restaurant in town, one of the very best, food and service there is so good and the food is amazing. They have authentic sauces that actually taste like they came directly from the old country. As long as they do not vary in their serving this old world spaghetti sauce, the way most older people remember they will be a favorite place to dine. All of their menu items are good choices and every dinner comes complete with all the trimmings of a fine dining establishment. Good choice for family's wanting authentic Italian food and original styled cuisine. read more

I really wanted to like this place. Portions are meager considering the cost. The bread we received was old and cold. Prepare to leave hungry and broke:) The service is good. read more

It's a small place one waitress. Chairs are comfy ! We ordered sampler and clams and it was out of this world delicious. My son got chicken Alfredo fettuccini and all of his food. My husband and I ordered Veal. I got the Veal Marsala by far the best I've ever had. My husband has veal piccata which also out of this world. Of course we couldn't eat all of this food had plenty to take home And prices wee very well for what we got. read more

Bravo, Ferraro's. I tend to limit myself to two Restaurant Week experiences a year, and last week's sojourn was a stark disappointment, so I needed some RW sanity to give me cause to hope for the best at next year's event. Our meal was excellent in all phases....timing between courses, traditional choices, good portions for the prix fixe price, and caring service from the owner, himself. Everything presented was shared between the three of us, and there were plenty of, 'oh wow' stares and comments from all of us. Star of the show was their marinara, and that is a pretty darned important component because it plays such a huge part in the cuisine. Great tomato flavor, seasoned just right, and not overly sweet. Take care of the basics, and you conquer the world as far as Ital-American fare is concerned. Ferraro's, I needed you to deliver the mail, and you did big time. Gratzie... read more

The food took twice as long as quoted (I received two "5 more minutes" which were each actually 15 more minutes, was on the higher end for price, and the food was packaged so poorly. All of the sauce of one of my dishes was coating the bag by the time it got to the car. My 5 minute drive did not make things better. Disappointed 100% 3 stars because in the past they've done mildly better. Not sure we have a great future together. read more

Ferraro's - Hot mess running down all my food at pickup. - Italian Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Ferraro's is an amazing locally owned business here in Spokane. They opened in the Valley first then added a location to the North Side. I love love love Spaghetti. When I make it at home, I make sure to have an Italian playlist on while I create the magic. My spaghetti is my favorite and I don't typically order it because I enjoy making it, fresh, in a slow cooker, all day. However, I had never been to Ferraro's and was hungry around lunch time and stopped in. They were quiet, but you could hear that Italiano music playing and it was awesome. Our server was incredibly sweet and attentive. I ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce and mushrooms and a side salad. The bread came out, and I haven't been eating bread but when I found out it was their own recipe outsourced to local bakeries, I had to try it. And it was so good with the oil balsamic touch. UGH. Then the side salad came and I love when the side salads actually come with toppings. Mushrooms, tomato, onion and a delicious Italian dressing. The owner, Jason came over to our table and introduced himself and that was so nice of him, very memorable. Now for the spaghetti - so so tasty. Fresh made meat sauce with really moist meat and the mushrooms were cooked to perfection. The pasta dish was a HUGE portion and I loved it. I went and took a nap immediately after and it was a great Tuesday afternoon. read more

The server was not very attentive and the food tasted like it was all microwaved - soggy and lukewarm.

This was my favorite Italian place until my credit card was charged an extra $20.00. I called them told them what happened and she said the manager would call me back. I waited for two days no response so I went to the restaurant showed my alert from the bank all she said was well accidents happen she did refund the $20.00 and that was it a very cold response. Ferraros is no longer my Italian place. No stars read more

The food was all delicious. We had a big group come and have dinner. 15 people ordered meals and everyone was satisfied, though it was a long wait to get our food. The wait staff were nice but service was very poor. I had to beg for refills of water and more bread and something else that someone was lacking. They also took a very long time even coming to the table to take our orders. But, you can't find fault with the food for sure, everyone enjoyed sitting down to a good meal together. I just wish they had had Italian music playing in the background to set the mood instead of American rock 'n' roll. read more

This is a hard No. The food was expensive and I was looking for good quality Italian food. I was deeply disappointed. The dishes were watery, and i believe they were heated up in a microwave. There is no way a fettuccine is that hot off of a steamer table or even fresh made. Poor quality. The bread served was super dry as if it had been sitting out most of the day. I would have made crutons out of it, not served as part of the dinner. I spent a lot of money on very poor food. Never again. read more

I used to go to the Steer Inn on market street when the Ferraro family acquired it and get the meatball sandwich every single time. They were delicious. When they closed I started going to the location on North Division street but the only thing I've ever eaten at this location is the meatball sandwich, I love it and I'm always so happy that they let me order it off the lunch menu during dinner time. read more
