Service was quick, friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely delicious, hardest thing is picking one thing off the menu. Great cozy atmosphere, demands a return to try all the rest of the menu. If you are in the area and not a regular you're missing out!

Love this restaurant! Came for my kiddos 14 bday and everything was fantastic. Love that we sat at a square table so everyone could talk to each other. Can’t wait to come back!

Very Disappointing Experience
I had a terrible experience at this restaurant, especially on Valentine’s Day, which completely ruined our dinner. Our order arrived very late, and when it finally came, the lasagna was cold. The Fusilli pasta was awful—overcooked, overly seasoned, and tasted terrible. It was honestly one of the worst pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The only good thing was the Carmelo pizza, which was decent. Everything else was a big disappointment.
We chose this place for a special occasion, and it was completely ruined. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and will not be coming back. Very poor service and food quality.

Went for Valentine’s Day. Very busy but apart from the first 15 minutes, staff was attentive and helpful. Caesar salad was standard, delicious garlic chsy bread, and we got the chicken fusilli pasta and lobster spaghetti. Chicken pasta was good although I do wish they had been able to sub out the Gorgonzola cream for Parma but understand too busy of a night. Like to go back to try lasagna or specials.

Didn't love my meal here, sadly. The funghi pasta was good, but the Gorgonzola pasta leaned far too into the cheese causing the sauce to turn foul.
The tiramisu was disappointing - especially the strawberry one which became an excessively sweet strawberry shortcake.
They also seem to have a confusing auto gratuity policy: groups over 6 is what the menu states, but I believe each staff member can select any table of even 2 or 3 people to pay 22% gratuity. I don't mind it - I do wish they were honest and transparent about it during seating.
Glad I tried it, though likely not to come back given all the wonderful Italian restaurants in Toronto.

Very nice Italian restaurant on St Clair W. Food was excellent, as was everything else.
100/10. Never disappoints! Recently moved to the neighbourhood and this has been our go to spot.

Don't order takeout from here. The food is great when you dine in but the takeout is consistently a nightmare.

Very good food, and exceptional table service, but only 4 stars because the men's bathroom was absolutely disgusting. VERY old urine stains on the toilet seat. Sticky floor. Food dumped in the sink (noodles of some kind). Considering how good the rest of the place looks, the state of the men's room was shocking.

RUDE Manager! As someone who tries different restaurants twice a week I had a very disappointing experience at Ferro. First impression is really important to me, that’s why I try to write good reviews to encourage people to try better because I believe that’s the first step to set the mood for a pleasant experience.
We visited on a Saturday around 7:30 pm. One of the staff members came to us and we asked for a table for two. She told us it would take some time, which we were fine with, so we waited. Shortly after, a guy (who we found out later that was the manager) came over and asked us the same question. We told him that the staff member had already spoken to us and was helping us, as we assumed there was a system in place and that once someone had taken our request, they would be taking care of us. After waiting for more than half an hour, two other customers arrived and stood behind us. The manager came up again and asked them if they need help and they also asked for a table for two. A table had just opened up and he immediately offered them the table-despite us having been waiting there the entire time. When we pointed this out, the manager said that because we told him someone else was helping us, this was the reason we were skipped, implying it was our fault though we were standing in a line and one just needed eyes to see this, as another employee actually did and told those newly arrived customers that we were ahead of them. No apology was offered for the mistake, and the situation was handled dismissively. To make matters worse, he then continued chatting with the other guests blaming us.😤 The food itself was good, but the experience was completely soured by how this was handled. Mistakes happen, but a lack of accountability and basic courtesy—especially from a manager—can ruin an otherwise good restaurant. And for that reason, we won’t be returning.
