The food was so so good. This was my first real experience with Mediterranean food and I would say…read morethat I enjoyed it a bunch. I was with my family and we were all trying something new. The guy who took our order was really helpful and broke down everything to where it made things easier when ordering! The restaurant was very clean and had a open kitchen that was really cool (you can watch them cook) I'd recommend the Beef shawarma plate with extra rice instead of salad, it was really flavorful and fulfilling. I only gave it a 4 because for the portion they give you i feel like the food should be a bit cheaper but other than that, super good!

Great Lunch Spot in Tri-Taylor! I can't believe I'd never…read moreheard of this place before, especially since I work just a few blocks away. My coworker suggested we try it for lunch, and I'm so glad we did. I wasn't sure what to order, but the meat and veggie combo lunch special caught my eye. It was a fantastic choice! The portion was generous for a lunch special, with a good amount of chicken and beef alongside flavorful yellow rice and an incredibly tasty salad. The yogurt sauces were perfect for dipping and added a nice touch. I was seriously impressed with how well-rounded the meal was--it was a truly satisfying lunch. I'll definitely be back for another one. If you're in the Tri-Taylor area, you have to check this place out! Service was great except that everytime the phone rang, the cashier would have to put me on hold to take care of that. But the actual restaurant is very nice and clean.

I had lunch today at Ferrara Cafe, and I have to say I was very disappointed. I ordered the Pasta…read moreMarinara and told the lady I wanted to eat half here and half to go, with an extra meatball, and I'd eat the rest of my order here with the salad, pasta, and meatball. She said that the meatball is an extra $3.50 for each, and then I asked her, "You mean you don't include a meatball with my eat-here order? " and she said no, it's extra. That was a real disappointment because I've never heard of an Italian restaurant with just marinara sauce without a meatball, and to top it off, it wasn't meat sauce, just Marinara (yes, I knew that when I ordered). I decided to go with the Lasagna Special of the day; it was very good, and their meat sauce is the best. You can tell it is the Old School Recipe. I hope Ferrara will also make a "meat sauce" option in addition to their Marinara Sauce. I have been coming to Ferrara for years, and this is the first time I have been disappointed, not with the food or service but with the nickel-and-dime approach.

Happy Birthday to me! I made reservations for 8:00 pm Wednesday and let me just say how absolutely…read morebeautiful this place is! It's so warm and inviting walking into this establishment. I especially appreciated the use of plants. My partner and I were sat right away and our server (Edgar)greeted us shortly after. Let me just say, our server was so knowledgeable and so friendly . I greatly appreciated his advice . For instance, there's no variations to the menu. Especially the drinks which I was little miffed by in the beginning but after tasting it ... it made so much sense. I'm a lemon drop connoisseur and I always get mine made with tequila instead of vodka because I'm just not a vodka girly . However, upon arrival this lemon drop shook me in the best way! I do believe it's my #1 fav. It has Sobieski vodka, yuzu liqueur, simple syrup, sea salt and lemon juice. Omfg. You guys know when it's good I have to sit back and close my eyes so I can take all the flavors in. I wanted like, 5 of these but I controlled myself lol. For my main, I ordered the branzino and my partner ordered the prime french dip. Both dishes arrived looking beautiful as ever and it was everything I expected and more . The branzino is served with veggies and a bearnaise sauce. I appreciated how well thought out the flavors were . It's a simple dish but those are the easiest to not get quite right. That wasn't the case here. Everything was so fresh and so good. I 100% was in the clean plate club (I love my fish) From what I tasted, the prime french dip was incredible. It's neave farm prime rib, calabrian chili oil, Gruyère and a horseradish cream. Once again, every ingredient I stood the assignment. The bread was sturdy and not soggy. Each bite was manageable and you didn't have to worry about it falling apart . This was served with fries and a garlic aioli. Super yum. For my second drink I told my server to surprise me and he brought me a Paloma I do believe. 100/100. This drink tasted like the time I wanted to have lol. It reminded me of summer vacay and the beach. I also wanted 5 of these lol! Everything was incredible start to finish . I do believe the total was 151ish without tip . Thank you guys so much! I will definitely come back to try more things . Especially the cocktails. Thanks for a memorable dinner. You guys are doing so great!

It was refreshing to come to a deli that didn't have an overwhelming menu. When it was my turn to order, the interaction felt very personable. I ordered a Turkey Pastrami & Provolone sandwich and my girlfriend ordered a Turkey and Provolone (not pictured). The overall assembly of the sandwich was perfect. The bread is sourced from D'Amoto's (IYKYK) ‍. The meat was thinly sliced but they didn't skimp at all. The hot peppers were the star of the show though. Conte will definitely see me again this week! lol

We were quoted a time of 20 minutes out. We arrived a little early and the gal at the counter told us it would be a few minutes. She called out when ready and sat at one of the tables in the front to eat. Each sub had a decent amount of filling. While we each offered the smallest subs, we were plenty full when we left. We enjoyed our subs and now have a place to add to our list for a new quick lunch. For the store itself, they have some odds and ends but many Italian staples. The counter and deli had a steady flow of customers in and out.

Super close to UI Health hospital. This joint is cafeteria-style so you order at the different stations, pay, then find your seat. My husband got takeout for us so I can't really talk about appearances of the restaurant. He said its spacious inside. The food overall is pretty average Italian food. It gets the job done. I can see the appeal to college students for fast meals. Arancini: These were good! I wasn't expecting them to be soaked in marinara but it was still good. They had good flavor to them. Pizza by the slice: Pretty average pizza. The dough is crispy. They offer to heat up your slices on the spot if you'd like. Linguini with clams: I believe this is a Friday special so I told my husband to get it. You can choose either red or white sauce, so we went with red. Overall pretty tasty. Could've been more clam pieces tho.
