This is my first restaurant review. If I'm taking the time to leave a review, you better believe…read moreit's because it was either that good, or that bad. I took my wife to Bartolo's on a date, and we enjoyed every aspect. Quick, thoughtful service, and they checked on us regularly. Lots of natural light on the North side of the restaurant where they have glass doors that open up to the outside (they were closed because it was a cold day but make for a pleasant atmosphere). The food was excellent. We ordered the house focaccia and calamari to start. Both were incredible. My wife had the lasagna, and I had the spicy crab campanelle (at the recommendation of our server). The homemade pasta is melt-in-your-mouth good. In terms of cost, it is about what I'd expect from a nice dinner out with my wife. My new favorite restaurant. We will definitely be back.

A dark and classy environment. The decor is great and stays true to the restaurant and its meals…read more Though I believe this place to be pretty overpriced, the food is truly delicious ! Everything comes out fairly quick for all being house-made from scratch. The meals are flavorful and great. There isn't anything on this menu that stands out, everything seems pretty standard for a nice Italian place. Our bread and salad starter were great and we cleared those quick ! I chose the chicken parmigiana and found the marinara sauce to be a bit watery/bland in taste. My chicken was a bit dry so perhaps a bit overcooked. The alfredo that came with it was DELICIOUS, perfectly creamy. However...can I justify $30 for the plate ? No. My boyfriend's spicy sausage a la vodka pasta was delicious but again, the red sauce was lack luster for me. It's almost like it was lacking tomato paste and garlic ? The potato side was delicious and surprisingly large for the price ! The aioli that came with it was great in flavor as well. We finished our meal with a creme brulee. It was perfectly torched and the creme itself was delicious and perfectly chilled. The strawberry was a bit sour for my liking, especially for coming with an expensive dessert. But this dessert was one of my highlights of the meal. Although a nice once-off meal, I find Bartolo's to be pretty overpriced, even for delicious italian dishes. I have had ruth's chris meals for this price and understood why it was priced the way it was.

We were met by the owner, who went over all the specials, variety of recommendations of adult and kiddie drinks (with pictures). server arrives right after to greet and start the process. So many unique choices. We went with the fried ravioli, Eggplant parmesan and the pasta special. Everything was outstanding !!

Chef Boyardee is better than this place Only good thing was…read morethe service The pasta was way overcooked and swimming and watered down sauce. They chopped up the chicken underneath and slather it and tasteless, sweet sauce. They use no spice whatsoever. Everything was tasteless . And they give you a dinner roll and a so called Italian restaurant? So disappointing. Let's talk about the dessert that the owner is so proud his daughter makes at home. The cake was so dry. It only looked appealing, but the taste was not. I left the owner know we had a reservation and he didn't care and he popped his head up and looked over the room and pointed out a table and said oh there's one. Didn't walk us to the table we set ourselves. He finally shows up with menus and his little tablet to show us a picture of the daily special, and then told us a dumb joke and elaborate on the great wine, which was horrible. Please don't come to this place unless you like to play Russian roulette. Place was full, don't know why. They certainly don't know Italian food and the menu is very limited.

La Ferrovia Authentic Italian Restaurant is back!…read more After Giuseppina and Jeff retired--well deserved after years of hard work and dedication--the restaurant has entered a new chapter. Their passion was always evident in the food they served, and the new owners are learning how to honor the Southern Italian cuisine that Giuseppina knew so well. We have been there twice with my granddaughter, and it did not disappoint. The penne with white sauce was superb, as was the salad with the house dressing, the fresh bread, and the delicious tomato sauce served on the side. But what stood out most was the atmosphere and the genuine desire to make guests feel comfortable, giving them time to enjoy their meal and conversation the way Italians do. The owner was incredibly kind and even came to our table to make sure everything was okay. Neapolitan cuisine is simple, fresh, and flavorful--it doesn't rely on heavy spices but instead allows quality ingredients to shine. If you're expecting lots of spices, you may be confusing Italian cuisine with another style of cooking. I also appreciate that the owners are open to suggestions when those suggestions respect the cuisine and are offered constructively rather than as criticism, as I've noticed in some reviews. Be kind, and take a moment to learn about authentic Neapolitan cuisine before judging it. It is a beautiful culinary tradition rooted in simplicity, family, and flavor. Welcome back, La Ferrovia!

This place is said to be one of the best Italian eateries in Ogden. I beg to differ. In our party…read moreof 4, not one person finished their meal - all of us decided to just box up. The flavors were just a bit off, like they were trying to be cutting edge, but the acids and the herbs didn't really click. I had the pork shank, which Fred Flintstone would have found truly enormous, my partner had the mushroom risotto, which was almost purple, incredibly over salted, mushy rice (no 'al dente' going on here...), and tasted nothing like a mushroom risotto we recently had at a local in our town. Our dinner partners had a salad and chicken parm with pasta, and neither of them put more than a few forkfuls away before asking for boxes. The noise level was insane, making it extremely hard to even hear the wait person. I *will* note that the staff was delightful, from the maitre d'hui to the wait staff, all were accommodating, polite, and nice. For the price point, while this place has an excellent reputation, it was not someplace I'd recommend as "top notch".

I ordered an 8" margherita pizza that was criminally overpriced. It was absolutely atrocious pizza…read more I picked up a slice and all the toppings slid off. I put them back on and took a bite. Initially I thought there was no way the tiny 8" would be enough for me, but...it was enough. The only thing that had any flavor was the crust. Zero flavor from the sauce, mozzarella, tomatoes, or basil. My gut reaction was to toss it all into the trash. They also messed up our order and gave us buffalo wings instead of bread sticks, and the wings were soggy and slimy (we didn't find out about the mix up until we got home, so we weren't going back); and of course they didn't give us any sauce. So someone else got our bread sticks with blue cheese, and I think they still got the better end of it. Maybe it was just an off night, but by far it was the worst margherita pizza I've ever had. Sometimes a new place just disappoints. But sometimes it's so bad and overpriced that it actually makes you angry. This was one of those times.
