Located just off king St with parking around I walked here when I discovered it online while trying to find something new to me. It looks beautiful from the outside, lots of greenery , it's a old house renovated into a restaurant. I came at the tail end of lunch so it wasn't busy, but they do take reservations. I sat on the covered outdoor patio and loved my table. They have a nice cocktail, wine and beer menu. A lunch menu with apps, salads, pasta and focaccia paninis. I got a empress G&T, which was a good classic. Drew my server was so sweet and very handsome! I ordered a focaccia panini , with prosciutto, mozzarella and tomatoes and mushrooms and basil. When he bought it out he said they had just made the bread. They also make their own pasta. Sandwich was delicious and full of yummy ingredients and the bread was very fresh. Also served with a nice green salad. Then I left room for a little dessert. They have a to die for salted Carmel gelato Affogato. You pick your gelato, which Drew said they import from Italy. This was one of the best I've ever had, they give you espresso separate in its own little vessel. Great end to a fabulous lunch. I would come back here anytime I'm in Boone. Would love to try a pasta dish. Great spot and something different from the college crowd places.

Our first (and last!) time here. What a disappointment! The atmosphere, menu, and server all held…read moregreat promise. However, after more than a hour's wait for our meals with two "your food should be out shortly; our kitchen is really backed up" excuses from our server, our meals arrived, just not at the same time. When my sister's did arrive it was cold. Not, slightly warm. Cold. They offered to replace it but couldn't promise that it wouldn't be another long wait. I asked to speak to a manager and surprisingly it was the very busy bartender who came to our table. He too offered the excuse of how busy they were. It's hard to have a manager manage what's going on in the restaurant and, more importantly, in the kitchen, when he is non-stop preparing drinks behind the bar! We decided to cut our loses, call for the check, and leave. I politely expressed our displeasure to the server, also addressing a charge for an "add-on" (charged more than quoted, of course.) A flat "on behalf of the restaurant, I apologize" and "we were very busy" excuse was offered. Curiously, the warm, welcoming "I'll be taking care of you" attitude of 90 minutes before was gone. We will not return, not that it will matter to them. After all, "they're very busy."

Granted I love anything eggplant haha but these fries were crispy on the outside and soft inside; well-seasoned and I loved the garlicky aioli. - Goat Cheese and Pancetta Salad: A close second favorite- it was so tasty (had spring mix, crispy brussels, pancetta, pepitas, goat cheese, fig vinaigrette), had a great combination of sweet/savory, and lots of texture. - Mushroom Marsala: This was the best pasta dish imo. The mushrooms & sauce provided a lot of umami and the pappardelle had good texture. For all the pasta dishes, a bigger piece of bread would have been appreciated to slop up all the delicious sauce haha. - Pasta Rossa: The sauce was tomato-y and creamy, but wish there could have been more/bigger meatballs and that a different pasta than pappardelle was used. - Chicken Alfredo: Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Alfredo at baseline bc it's usually too rich for me but my sister liked it. The fettuccine had nice texture and chicken was cooked well. - Duck Sliders: I probably would not recommend this dish- I think the duck is hard to appreciate in slider format (kinda just tasted like chicken lol). The chips were a bit soggy too. Lots of free parking available. Ambiance is really nice, modern and lots of natural light. Service is friendly and fast. 7.5/10 would recommend!

I struggled between 1 or 2 stars only because it wasn't completely terrible,BUT... the things that were not right about our order could have and should have been avoided by a restaurant of this scale. We ordered by Door Dash after 2 days of traveling and outings as we were tired. The food did come very quickly and very hot. One meal was spaghetti and meatballs and was described as fair in taste. I ordered the Tortellini Carbonara(it wasn't great but not terrible) that came with a side. I chose soup. I was given 2 choices of soups and what was sent appeared to be French onion soup......NOT even one of the 2 choices. I don't know when it became ok to assume let's just send whatever when someone has paid a lot of money for just OK food. I didn't send them Canadian cash to pay for it .To top it off not one utensil was in with the order.even though the address on the order clearly stated were in a local hotel.

None of the sandwiches I've tried have blown me away. Theyre not bad, but not memorable. Limited selection in the prepared foods counter. Service is okay. The people who take your order are friendly but the woman who checked me out kinda wasn't. For an Italian deli (and I'm Italian with high expectations) this is a no from me.

Half a sandwich filled me up which meant I got to enjoy the rest for lunch the next day. Between cold cuts, paninis, and hot sandwiches there are a variety of sandwich options. Grab one of the tables inside or sit at a table on the sidewalk on a nice day and enjoy a great lunch at Ferrucci's.

The decline in food quality and inattentive service have removed this restaurant from our rotation.

We were greeted promptly and were seated. Great menu selection for primarily Italian food. Something for everyone. We opted for two appetizers: the garlic knots and Caesar fries. The knots were 10/10. Slathered in butter and garlic with enough pooled butter to soak up with your knots. I was kiddish on the fries. Seemed like a strange marriage but they were really good. Loaded with parm cheese and bacon as well. 9/10 We decided to order an 18" Buffalo chicken pizza to things off. The pizza was really good but there was too much Buffalo sauce for our liking which turned the pizza into a knife and fork event. It was impossible to pick up and eat. There was plenty of chicken on it and lots of cheese as well. It came with optional bleu cheese crumbles which I highly recommend. My advise to you is to order less buffalo sauce. There was so much on ours it made it sloppy and soggy. Flavor was good. Execution needs improvement. Crust was excellent. Hand tossed and artisan. 8/10 for the excess sauce. Oh, also, the plates you get for the pizza are comically small. Our slices hung off 2 inches front and back. Made the knife and fork thing more difficult. If you get a larger pizza, request larger plates. You'll thank me later. We split a tiramisu for dessert and it was great. 10/10, great coffee flavor, creamy and not too sweet. Highly recommend. Both appetizer, 18" pizza and a tiramisu came to $55. We all had water. This place isn't cheap but the food is good and the so is the service and atmosphere. Make it a must when you get into Boone next time.

Overall, the experience was just okay -- not bad, but not something I'd drive out of the way for again. If I lived closer, I'd definitely give it another try. We started with sweet tea and bread. The bread with dipping sauce was tasty and a nice start. I ordered the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, and my friend had the Spaghetti and Meatballs. Unfortunately, both entrées were pretty bland. My chicken lacked flavor, and I ended up leaving most of it along with half the noodles. My friend only ate one meatball and passed on the rest. The highlight of the entire meal was the Crème Brûlée -- absolutely amazing! If you go, I highly recommend ordering dessert and maybe trying a different entrée than we did. A friend had suggested the lasagna, and I wish I had taken that advice. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful country setting, and the interior feels warm and inviting. With a few tweaks to the entrées, I think this place could really shine.
