We've been here twice since the new owners took over and renovated everything. We will return to try more menu items, but so far, it's pretty good. First of all, the warm crusty bread that they bring before you order is terrific. I'd go back for that and a glass of wine alone. The two chicken entrees we have had were very good, with an intense red sauce, on the sweet side. Their version of a Michigan salad is helped by a bacon jam dressing instead of the usual raspberry, a nice twist. Greens were very fresh, and we devoured every morsel. Their house salad, sadly, was a little sad. Not much green, lots of white pieces of head lettuce. Skippable. The pizza was a big disappointment. If you can't do a good pizza crust, then all one is tasting are the toppings, and the crust here is very bland without any of that "chew" that is so necessary. They call it a "craft" pizza, but that crust needs work. Actually, it needs to be tossed away! There are so many good pizza crust recipes available, and I know because I make many myself at home, I don't understand how this version is found in a really good restaurant that does almost everything else so well. The owners are always there and are very involved with everything, are open and friendly, and that goes a long way in providing a good customer experience. All in all, we will return to try more items, but will be skipping the you-know-what! read more

Food's a bit pricey but you get decent portion sizes and everything I've ever had from here has been pretty good. Potato skins are alright, gnocchi is really good, Sicilian sampler that comes with ravioli, spaghetti, lasagna, and Italian sausage is good but the sausage is always I bit too tangy for my taste. Delivery takes awhile but so order about an hour in advance of when you think you may want to actually eat. Overall, a pretty solid Italian food option for the area. We've tried most and Ferlito's is only 1 of 2 that we frequent. Salvatore Scallopini being the other. read more

Best Italian on the Eastside! Carry out or dine in your food will be perfect and taste fabulous!!

Well I finally tried their Chicago Deep Dish Pizza and it was very delicious and filling. My wife and I could only eat two pieces each!! I tried to tell this on my other review but there was no option to edit my first review. read more

Love this place!! We've eaten here a couple of times lately and it's been wonderful each time. Staff is great, food is delicious. Had the Chicken Siciliano tonight which was perfect and the dessert (carrot cake) might be the best I've ever had. It's a favorite when I'm in town. read more

Our first and last time in. My husband and I thought we'd try some place new as we usually frequent Villa, this was utterly disappointing. The chicken soup had a sour taste , the salad bar was okay. My husbands lasagna was a sloppy mess that lacked flavor. And my breaded chicken had burnt noodles crusted on the bottom. If you are looking for good Italian food go elsewhere. read more

Came here on a Sunday night around 8 PM. The place was busy, but not slammed. We were greeted with a friendly smile as we entered, and quickly seated in a spacious booth. We had been here a few times several years ago and always enjoyed it. We had heard about the new owner and Chef, Josh, and thought we'd give it a try. The space has been updated and looks very nice, and casual. Our server, Jacob, was very friendly and gave us plenty of attention without being annoying. Beverages were on our table quickly, followed by a bread basket with several slices of warm, fresh PERFECT Italian bread. Yeasty, soft center, with crust that had just the right amount of chew. We ordered Calamari to start and loved it. Tasty, crispy coating, and very tender pieces. The ammoglio was flavorful, with large tomato chunks. A+ Wife ordered the Chicken Parmigiana, which was absolutely delicious. Nice crust, and VERY tender chicken, flavorful sauce. I ordered the penne, with meat sauce, and a scoop of ricotta on top. OUTSTANDING! We each had a salad plate before the entree and it was crispy, cold and had just the right balance. We knew we had over ordered to start, but planned it that way so that we could take home leftovers! Definitely a great experience, and we will be back again! read more

Ordered fish and chips - overpriced based on quality of food . Frozen prepared food. Server was good , but this restaurant is overpriced for quality of food. . read more

We went in with high hopes due to the reviews. We were really disappointed. The calamari was chewy and just awful. The pizza was ok-it was lacking seasoning. I really want to support local, family owned restaurants, but it's just not going to be Ferlitos. read more

Ever since the new owner took over, the menu has gradually changed. And all I can say is FOR THE BETTER. While he still has the standby's it's really the specials that stand out. Oh and maybe the bread too. So whether you're looking for the classic comfort food of lasagna or an amazing chicken entree, go see Josh. Make sure to order dessert too. It's from Sweet Little Sheila's. read more

Great pizza great pasta great people stop and have A bite I'm trying you you eating regret it

Their pasta sauce is phenomenal, but the pizza cheese tasted flat. I stick with the pasta dishes when I order from here.

This was mine and my Boyfriends go to place for pizza night. The last two times we received under cooked pizza. First time the pizza crust was soggy, and the second, it was so under cooked when i bit in we had to throw the pizza into the oven. Such a bummer because i really enjoyed getting pizza from here. read more

Came once, loved the gouda bbq chicken pizza. Was craving it the next day. Can you believe they have pumpkin pie all year round?

Seriously. If I owned a restaurant, I would steal the staff - such amazing people and had a great sense of humor. The food came in great portions and was EXCELLENT! We were considering ordering a mass order of different types of food to share because everything that came out looked amazing! The restaurant wasn't overly crowed, but they seemed to do very well on the carry-outs as they seemed slammed. read more

Ferlito's Restaurant - Sicilian Combo! - Pizza Near Me - Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan

My go to place for home cooked authentic Italian and a reasonable price. Family owned and they take pride in what they do. I go here at least a couple times a month if not more read more

This is my all time favorite Italian restaurant!! I come here all the time and never get sick of the food! Service is quick and employees are professional and always so nice.

Ferlito's Restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan

Nothing fancy, just a good family owned Italian restaurant. Good sized portions and all seems homemade. A nice little salad bar with some of the best homemade ranch dressing I've had. Their homemade pies are also really really good. read more

All in all it's a cute family place but they've recently jacked up the prices and introduced new foods. If you go you have to get the chicken soup it's the best. One recommendation, don't even order anything with pesto, whatever It is it's definitely not pesto. read more

Always friendly. Family environment. My daughter and I Enjoy the ribs every time and my husband loves the lasagna. Good down to earth eating here. read more

This restaurant has new owners. The food was awful. The lasagna was greasy with cheap cheese. Chicken parm was fried then covered with nasty tasting sauce. Manager lied to my face and said it's not under new management. Oh and I also found a hair in my chicken. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!! Been going here for 20 years . I will not be back ! It deserves no stars . read more

I've been here twice with my family. What a great place! The price is just right for the portion and the atmosphere is very friendly and fit for families. The menu is great, except every dish seems to have at least one flaw. Instead of writing a full-out essay, I'll just list them for the readers' convenience. Chicken Marsala: The chicken was cooked perfectly and the pasta was al dente. Flaw: Sauce was very, very watery. The cook didn't let the sauce reduce enough or didn't drain the pasta enough before adding to the dish. Also, it was plated very sloppy (but it's a family restaurant, who cares?). Pesto Pizza: The cheese was gooey and stringy and everything tasted fresh. Flaw: The whole pizza overall was very bland. It could've used a lot more salt or other flavors. Also, the crust was pretty soggy. Lasagna: Man, the portion is great! The cheese and sauce tasted very fresh. Flaw: There are too many pasta layers and too little filling. Salad Bar: The salad bar is kept on top of ice so the lettuce stays crisp. There's also a pretty good variety of toppings. Flaw: Imitation bacon bits. Why, why, why?! It makes me feel like I'm back to the bad cafeteria salad bar in elementary school. Seriously, serve the real stuff or don't serve it at all! Key Lime Pie: These pies are super good. It has the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. Also, the bottom part of the crust is flaky and not soggy. In fact, it was so good, I tried to make it at home. It just was not the same. I love the key lime pie so much, it kills me to write the flaw part. :( Flaw: The Key Lime Pie was green. That's what you'd except right? But no. Real, legit key lime pies are suppose to be golden yellow. They get their color from the yolk and the key lime juice, which are both yellow. I just wish they would stop putting in unnecessary food coloring. If you are going to Ferlito's, there's basically two things you HAVE to try: The salad bar and the pies. (I recommend the pie the most) read more

What a great restaurant. Service was outstanding...food was delicious and the portions were hearty. We will surely be back to try more menu items. read more

Had dinner here tonight and was extremely satisfied. Our server Evan was very attentive and cheerful. The salad was maybe lacking a couple normal items I enjoy in my salad (cucumber, cheese), but was still a good starter. All of our entrees were essentially family sized portions and didn't disappoint in flavor. My lasagna had a great sauce and cheese layer baked on. The Sicilian platter was a good blend of some Italian favorites. Overall I'd recommend this restaurant for a great Italian experience. read more

A new owner took over earlier in the year and made some changes to the menu and changes to all the recipes. This is unfortunate. Not need to stop in, the restaurant will probably fail soon as the food has gone from good to almost not being edible. The food is consistently overlooked and greasy now. If you stop in you will see the other patrons shaking their heads thinking it must be an off night. I've been here 4 or 5 times since the change over and the meal quality keeps going down. So sad. read more

Ferlito's Restaurant - Note the grease sitting on top of this take out container of sauce. To the new owners, u need to drain the grease from the meat. - Pizza Near Me - Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan

How could one fail so abysmally at a simple plate of spaghetti with meat sauce is really beyond me. We spent 24$ and waited over 40 minutes for the lamest saddest pasta and ravioli I've ever had. The only reason we finished our food was because A) it was edible and B) we were starving at this point and C) we got half servings. I honestly would've been better off eating chef boyardee from a can than this because at least I would've saved some cash. Really you could get better sauce from a jar of prego, NOT KIDDING. Not even going to comment on the sad little salad bar. It's too bad the food was so below par because the waitstaff was so friendly and attentive. Bottom line, walk fast and far from this place as you can because the only thing even close to Italian about it is its name. ETA: So I'm adding an edit to my review since the owner/chef/whatever decided to reply to my previous review with a snide "compliment". He wanted to know WHY I hated the food so much so, here it goes. The sauce was sugary as all hell. It had no discernible spices or herbs to speak of. It, in my humble opinion, tasted like watery tomato sauce straight from the can. He said it's an old family recipe passed down and yadda yadda, well that's great but maybe the recipe needs an update or something. All around, all I could taste was tomato and sugar. To me, that's not a good marinara. Like this pasta was so bad it was memorable enough that I can still remember the flavor now as I write this. Also, to wait 40 minutes for a simple plate of pasta or ravioli, especially when a place isn't busy, just wasn't acceptable. But somehow, according to the owner I'm mistaken, because if we waited that long he'd have known about it. Well man, maybe this ONE time your kitchen slipped up. Big deal. Obviously this place is still open and people are still eating there so clearly SOMEBODY likes your food. Oh, and the comment you made about me being picky is BS. If you took the time to look through my review history for a second you'd see that I have only honest reviews ranging from 1-5 stars (an overwhelming amount are actually 3-5 stars...). If my previous review struck such a nerve with you, perhaps you should take a step back and question why that is, since in your opinion, your food is so amazing it should hold up to such intense scrutiny. IMO this isn't authentic Italian food, the owner should take a trip back to Italy and revisit his roots because if you put this food in front of an Italian person, they'd probably spit it back out. read more

Where do I begin......the food was horrible. They should be ashamed of themselves. Lasagna was so greasy and they used cheap cheese. I had chicken parm. It was fried chicken with sauce on it. The sauce had no taste. The chicken soup tasted like hot water with noodles. Yuk! I found a hair in my food. I was embarrassed to have my family there. I would NEVER go back!!!!! It doesn't deserve a star but I had to give it one in order to post this comment. read more

Friendly staff, tasty food and reasonably priced. Have had issues with delivery from the restaurant in the past, but have always enjoyed my experience dining in. read more

My friend J.B. Told me about the place. Since eating here I haven't had a bad meal. The service is awesome the delivery is great. I really enjoy their tasty food you've got to try this out read more

Where to start? We placed a carry out order on a Saturday night. The order we received was wrong. When we called back to ask for the missing item (a pizza), the person on the phone flat out denied that our order was wrong and offered a refund of $4 when 1/3 of the items we ordered were missing, the order total was over $30. He was rude and disrespectful. Due to lack of customer service I would not recommend going here. We have gone here many times but never again. read more

This place is phenomenal, my cousin Brett and his wife Amy recommended this place and it's our new favorite spot. This is real Italian food with true family recipes. The Palamino sauce is awesome. Their steak Diane comes with a cream sauce over the portobello mushrooms.... highly recommended. Also don't forget to check out the lightly fried calamari with the amoigue (sic) sauce. The new owners just put this place over the top. A must eat for any traditional Italian lovers. read more

I usually do not like pizza. I had the goat cheese pizza and a pepperoni pizza, both with anchovies. They were delicious.

Great food def hidden gem. Chicken Parmesan is really good and made consistent. And local spot that you can count on for a solid meal

Ferlito's is hands down my favorite Italian restaurant. Their food......amazing! I have yet to have something I don't love.. So why the three stars? Service. It seems it is always unorganized and slow. One server in particular has no concept on how to be a server. We waited 19 minutes to just be greeted and get water. It took 45 minutes to get my drink and 65 minutes to get my food. People who came after us had eaten and left before we got our drinks. After we were almost finished with our entrees, the sides arrived. When I told the manager about this particular server (it was the third time I had this problem with them), I was told that "we'd have to agree to disagree". I'm debating if the food is worth the hassle. read more

Terrible wait service. We ordered one gluten free pasta and one regular pasta, when both arrived and looked and tasted exactly the same we waited 20 minutes to see our waitress who lied and said they look the same because all they serve is gluten free pasta. Had to walk to front door to find the owners and manager. Found out my gluten free daughter was served flour pasta! Waited another 10 minutes while the entire staff, owners and managers discussed the situation in the back of the dining room then disappeared into the kitchen. No apologies were offered and my daughter ended up sick all night now. read more

Love the lasagna! Also, they have the best bread!!!! Quiet restaurant which offers dine in, carry out, and delivery!

This is our good 'old stand by. It's a family restaurant, so it's great to take our daughter to. The staff is friendly and we've never been disappointed with the food. The only thing i think i could give constructive critisicm is the salad bar could use a few more items, otherwise this place is great. read more

absolutely great service! servers are very friendly and management is amazing! super happy josh took over. made the experience worth while. food was amazing and the vibe in the restaurant is just right. i would recommend to everyone! 10/10 read more

Since moving to the area I really wanted to try this place. Ive heard great things about the food. First, I like the new decor outside the building, however the inside need a bit of updating. I ordered a Ceasar salad which was large and delicious for the price. I ordered s small pizza and it was tasty. The pepperoni was the real deal and I like the cheese and sauce. The service was great!!! I can't forget to mention that. Hopefully the new owner work on the inside because people like to eat in an atmosphere that's comfortable and nice. read more

Excellent food! Everything we had was delicious. Best clam chowder in the area. The spaghetti, lasagna and ravioli were all great.
