⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Osso Buco – A Masterpiece!

This Osso Buco was nothing short of spectacular! The meat was incredibly tender, falling off the bone effortlessly, and the slow-braised flavors were deep, rich, and perfectly balanced. The marrow melted beautifully into the sauce, adding an irresistible silkiness that took the dish to the next level. Every bite was pure comfort, with just the right touch of herbs and aromatics to enhance the experience. A must-try for any lover of authentic, slow-cooked Italian cuisine!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Palomino Sauce – The Perfect Balance!

This Palomino Sauce is pure magic! The blend of creamy Alfredo and tangy marinara creates the perfect harmony of richness and freshness. It’s velvety, smooth, and packed with flavor—delivering a luscious, restaurant-quality experience in every bite. Whether paired with pasta, seafood, or even just some crusty bread

1st time trying this place. Unfortunately it will possibly be our last time. Atmosphere was.....odd? Just didn't quite fit the menu if that makes sense.
Our server was drew. She was outstanding and would highly recommend her as your server if you go...
I read that people like the chicken Joseph. So I thought I'd try it. My wife had lasagna.
We immediately looked at each other and almost finished each other's sentence..."bland" extremely bland...the dish has a good balance of ingredients and flavors but not enough acid or salt. Good amount of sauce, mushrooms were good, but huge pieces of garlic were on top and a bit unpleasant eating. I Unfortunately had to use salt & pepper just to taste it. I'd recommend more lemon and more cherries...just a bit boring on the taste buds.
Lasagna tasted "reheated" which is obvious because no restaurant has time to make a fresh one just for you...but it tasted at least 2 days old and again...no flavors? Reminded me of using to much paste in a sauce...just missing something...Definitely missing salt... She asked for the meat sauce and found 1 piece of meat...lol
She couldn't finish it.
Bread was hot but needed more seasoning as well.
We ordered bruschetta and it was good...the bread was extremely hard and cut my gums but I understand it needs a hearty bread.
For $60 plus tip...it was underwhelming and a bummer because we loved Italian food and always looking for new places.
Also, if I'm paying almost $80 for a meal, I shouldn't have to stand by the door, crowded with other people and pay the bill? Paying the bill, woman making a take out order, people trying to sit, people trying to leave all in a 5x5 space...it's ridiculous.
If the dishes change, I'd try again...good luck

Very disappointed every time I’ve had it. Over priced. I had spoiled pineapples on my pizza- called to let them know their pineapples were sour & they didn’t offer to remake or refund the pizza at all. Howies is better than this place. It’s a staple in this town but not worth the price.

Update 11/1/24:
Went in for the 8-9pm happy hour and was immediately served cold bread - we complained and were immediately given hot bread.
The happy hour food was good and the server was prompt.
Our only real issue was that they closed at 9pm so the happy hour didn't give us enough time to enjoy our food and drinks without getting googly eyes from the girl who was working the counter since it was just after 9pm and we were still enjoying our drinks - that was uncomfortable since we spent a pretty penny at this establishment.

Original review:
Nice small restaurant with decent ambiance and good prices.
I think they only have one waiter for the entire restaurant, and he seemed overwhelmed and forgot our soup/salad but apologized after we asked if we were getting any with our meal.

The breadbasket was served cold. It would have been a much better experience if the bread was hot and served with a side of olive oil with spices for dipping.

We were there on a Sunday evening. We will come back.

The bread is awesome! But the brussel spouts came out burned and were served to us. We had to call the waitress over to our table because she set them down like nothing was wrong with them. Me and my husband both got chicken dishes which were really good. I got Chicken Picatta and he got the Chicken Joesph.

I would highly recommend NOT going to Ferlito’s, the staff were very rude and Ferlito’s was unable to provide the food that was listed on their menu.
