Exceptional and delicious food, I like the character this spot has, and the staff members were nice. Will definitely visit here next time.

Food was amazingly balanced in flavors. Service was on point and felt like a valued customer. I will definitely come back to try other dishes.

I was thinking of taking my little brother today for his birthday as he loves Italian food and when I came here a couple of months back was mesmerized by their food!! However, while thumbing through the images I saw one that was a beautiful painting undelivered to a wonderful man, apparently Joe has passed a couple of days ago, not sure if it was due to Covid, but it made me pout Nd wish I had gone back before his untimely death. How heartbreaking, my condolences to his family and friends and I want to say a full hearted thank you for all the delicious you provided

The lasagna was good. Some of the other plates were not as good. Some other were seafood pastas.

Need to update hours. Came here now on Friday 7:45p and it's closed. Yelp says it closes 9:30p a Edit: some are saying owner is closing due to non covid related Illness. Sad I may never get to try this place out now. Prayers to the owner on beating this Illness.

Great home cooked Italian good- love the tomato salad and fresh bread as a starter. My go to is chicken parm....never disappoints. Best marinara sauce in town.

I celebrated my PhD last night in this excellent restaurant. I am glad to say that we had a pleasant evening and the restaurant was indeed one of the reasons for the fruitful event. The team collaborated in a sweet way, the meals were yummy and my buddies were very thrilled. We shall absolutely come back again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

I eat here a lot since I work right next to it. I like how the service is always great and they keep the place clean at all times. Pricing is convenient and they serve generous portions.

I was looking for a good old fashioned Italian meal while in La for business. I found this little quaint restaurant. Due to covid they had about 5 tables set outside under a tent. The service was good. we were immediately seated and the table was sanitized. After making our orders we wer given fresh bread which came out hot. I ordered the Penne Pesto with a Caesar Salad. The salad was a bit over dressed for my liking but edible. The pasta was cooked a nice al dente. It could of used more salt. I added parmesan to try and sub the salt. It wasnt the best ive had but was good. Im not sure if i would come and try another dish while in town but i will say for everyone to at least come and try for yourself.

Great food chk out the salmon checca it is wonderful. They have out seating now! Have to try Joes tomato salad Yum
Solid 4 stars! What we liked: lasagna and fettuccine Alfredo. What we didn't like: tomato relish? Just didn't like the flavoring. Bread was just plain? Why? No garlic or butter just sliced bread was a lame add on. I also wasn't impressed with the Caesar dressing. The salad was crisp and fresh but wasn't happy with the dressing. However they hit a Home Run where it mattered ... the entrees! Entrees were really well cooked and seasoned! We will be back for the entrees!!

Ferraro's was our favorite Italian restaurant and ate there for years. Joe even catered our wedding party. Joe moved and so did we and we missed how good the food was. Yesterday while pulling into a car wash I saw a sign "Ferraro's Ristorante" and wondered could it be. I parked, walked in and there's Joe cooking away. We came back at dinner time and the food and service was as good as ever. Glad I got my car washed and rediscovered Ferraro's. Needless to say we will be there regularly

Best Italian food around , not a bad item on the menu . Service and staff are very friendly and kind , they really go out of their way to make your dinning experience exceptional. Food is made with a authentic Italian flair by Joe, who grew up in Italy. Best kept secret around. A must try for anyone craving Italian food .

been chasing this italian-born chef at all of his locations from Long Beach on Palo Verde to Compton to now back on Carson and the food is always been amazing. Don't miss the to-die-for Italian tomato salad and the homemade bread which is to die for. We'll track this guy down until he retires which is going to be soon.

This place reminds me of when I visit Rome Italy and of course it's just as good as many of Italy's best Italian restaurants. The pizza here is one of the best that I've had in Southern California, or even in the New York City Brooklyn Italian district.The other dishes here are as wonderful and tasty as well. Don't pass up this place for some great Italian food. It's just a little bit tucked away off Carson street.
