My job hosts our holiday party at Ferraro's Restaurant every year and they never let us down. The food is consistently great with a perfectly suited prefixed setup that makes the whole evening feel special. The private party rooms are amazing with a bar right up front and center, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Even though this place is a bit far for us to visit on a regular basis, we always look forward to coming back every holiday season. It has become one of those traditions that everyone gets excited for. Ferraro's always delivers. read more

This was my second time in this restaurant and this time around it was a completely different experience! This time around, I went during a very busy time, Friday 7ish pm. There are two floors, so luckily since we were looking for a calmer space, we were able to get seated up there. I was able to make a reservation by calling, even though online nothing was available. Food was good and enjoyable, but I think because it was busy and there might've been a need for tables, our service felt a bit rushed. The best thing about this menu is the fact that they carry a Hugo Spritz! It was okay, and not the way I remember the traditional version to be, but tasty and a good surprise anyhow! Good food, I would just recommend to go during an off-peak time. read more

Speedy & friendly service. Very welcoming by when I'm imagining is the owner who's sitting by the bar. I waitress was very kind and she took care of us the whole night. We ordered a beat salad, which was absolutely gorgeous and very colorful and perfect amount of dressing!!! I ordered the ravioli marinara and my bff fettuccine Alfredo.. We both really loved our pasta dishes. Everything was prepared so wonderfully! Fresh and delicious! Hot! It was a very busy early dinner timeframe. Service was still fantastic. Very thankful to everyone who contributed to an enjoyable time! So many hard-working employees! I'm so grateful for everything! A very full belly! Thank you for a great experience!! read more

This place might have had the best customer service I have ever experienced. I came here with a group of coworkers. We were a party of 8 early in the evening on a weekday but I was super surprised at how attentive the staff was. The food was great and the place was pretty spacious. The only downside is there is no parking but that's to be expected in downtown Westfield. I would definitely go back read more

A two-floor Italian restaurant, while the service was just average compared to my prior experiences, we had a big table beside us that was taking up the waitstaff's time and attention. Definitely grab a reservation if you can, the bar had some seating throughout but the restaurant was pretty busy with families and celebrations. Was an empty glass for half the meal. Second floor and outside seating available. Close to the Westfield train station for parking on weekends. Good menu, though the appetizers are a bit small (good for 2-3 people to share each, maybe) - the bread they bring is hot and not completely cut so you have to break it apart with your hands. The bruschetta was good, the burrata I've had softer and creamier, and the meatballs were small compared to Nonna's and other Italian restaurants I've been at. For my main, the short rib pappardelle was delicious, though greasy. I ate far too much -- definitely healthy serving size. read more

Unbelievable dinner experience. Had the NY Strip & my Wife had Mahi Mahi. Server was Neville. Incredible food , service & ambience. Highly recommended. read more

I got the chicken parmigiana, which was ok (3/5). It wasn't very crispy or super flavorful. We also got a pizza, which was not that good (2/5); the crust was pretty soft, and the flavor wasn't great. Lastly, we also got calamari, which was good (4/5). Service was ok (3/5). It was a little slow, especially when it came time to get the check. The interior of the restaurant and the atmosphere are nice (4/5). read more

This spot always catches my eye--right by the train station and always packed. Finally tried it and have mixed feelings. The gnocchi was amazing and definitely worth coming back for. The fettuccine was a bit dry, and the pasta didn't taste homemade, but the meat sauce was solid when I added red pepper for alittle kick. The pizza was good at first--nice crust, no flop--but overall mid w taste. Bruschetta and tuna were decent, not standout but tasty. Drinks were well-priced. My dirty martini came out a little too on the rocks lol (basically just vodka), but they fixed it right away when I asked. Service was a 10/10--our server was so sweet. I'd come back for the gnocchi and the service, and maybe try different things. read more

Don't know how I missed this one, but Yelp reminded me. I did not realize that I never actually wrote the review for this place. I came here back in late October & I had an amazing experience. I am not big on Italian restaurants, as I find most to be bland from trying to "play it safe." That was not the case here. The food was well seasoned, perfectly prepared, & the portions were plentiful. The staff were very friendly & professional, & they were super attentive, in spite of it being very busy when I went. Large venue with two sides, restaurant side & bar side. Nice old school "Italian restaurant" interior decor. Large bay doors which can open to the outdoor seating area. I was truly impressed, & will make it by business to return. It's in the downtown Westfield area, so there's metered parking around, & a metered parking lot directly across the street. I do not remember the specific dishes & drinks we had, but I still have the photos. I give all of the food that we had an A+. read more

Recently back to ferraros with a group of 5. Still offers decent Italian food in an upscale setting. We shared appetizers, and my favorite was the burrata. I really liked my chicken dish as well. Good portion sizes read more

I ordered filet mignon with broccoli rabe & mashed potatoes. The meal was cold and the meat didn't taste right. Maybe dried out? In any event, I didn't finish the meal. It was on par with something you would get from Applebees. Never going back. read more

THE BEST MEAL I'VE EATEN IN A LONG TIME. I've eaten a lot of places but the braised short ribs with butternut risotto was AWESOME. The rest of my family also had terrific food. The bolognese pasta, Shrimp parmigiana dinner, calamari and the Wild mushroom bisque were AMAZING!! Service was very good and the ambiance was nice! Wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

Family friendly restaurant serving up a variety of Italian fare. For my first impression, the restaurant was slightly chaotic and I think I need to come back again to try it on a quieter day. Tables were a bit cramped, children were running around, and there was broken glass at one point that I felt like could have been cleaned up just a little bit faster (I was actually slightly concerned given the amount of kids walking around!). Nonetheless, food is solid, nothing fancy but decent all around. I'd come back with large groups and probably recommend it more for families. read more

This is a mixed review. Some good, some not so. When walking in to this establishment, you felt a sense of warmth. So my expectations were elevated immediately. After sitting down, we reviewed the menu and it seemed a decent size with a variety of options. My wife and I were interested in some pasta dishes. However, since this was lunch, we did not want to get weighted down for the remainder of the day. Fortunately, our server informed us that they offer half portions ... so pasta was a go! I selected the short rib pappardelle and my wife selected the gluten-free penne with the Bolognese sauce. We also added a house salad for us to share. The first item brought to the table was some bread. Now, I don't know about you, but I believe you can learn a lot about the quality of your meal from the bread alone. I am sad to report, it was disappointing. Not sure if it was day old, but is was definitely not freshly made that day. It really lacked the character of a true Italian bread ... a soft doughy center with a nice crusty shell. And even better when presented warm. Nope. Not what we got. On to the salad. All the right pieces were there and it visually looked amazing, but it was over dressed and under seasoned. Too bad. Lastly the pasta. It was good (thankfully). The noodles were cooked properly, and they had that homemade texture. And the sauce was pretty good as well. My only complaint was that the short rib was well done, which gave it a slight toughness, and I was expecting something more tender. So the pasta dishes saved the meal. read more

Enjoyed delish lunch at Ferraro's in Westfield yesterday. Service was friendly & efficient. Restaurant had a nice comfy vibe, especially seating next to the fireplace. Parking in the area is challenging, even on a weekday, so plan ahead, especially for weekends. read more

Cozy and comfy food but a bit rustic and basic overall that don't quite match the prices they offer. The cocktails were fun and elegant looking. The arancini was delicious with just the right amount of sauce. The chicken francese was a bit underseasoned overall and that includes the potatoes (not rice?) and fun small carrots. Servings were very reasonable, but it doesn't quite hit the mark with what they are asking to pay. read more

With comfortable and spacious outdoor seating in the heart of Westfield's restaurant district, Ferraro's is hands down one of the top restaurants in our area! Hospitality is top notch and service is professional and on point. The food is amazing from presentation to completion of our meal. Every bite was savory and cooked in to perfection in flavor and texture. Every meal was so perfect is was hard to choose a favorite. Worth every dime, its price is as upscale as its reputation but they meet that in spades! read more

This Italian restaurant is conveniently located in Westfield right by the train station. I usually find parking across or down the street, about a 3 min walk from the restaurant. The service was good, just average. I was there with two other friends, they had a salad and each ordered some pasta, I only had the gnocchi which was actually pretty tasty. The portions were big enough, that I couldn't finish my entire dish and grabbed the leftovers to go. Had a good time talking to my friends, they have tables right outside which makes this place a favorite one for large groups and families with kids. Overall it was a good experience, I would definitely go back here for dinner again and try some other pasta on the menu. read more

Every time we come here it just gets better. I can never figure out what to order because everything I've had has been so delicious. The weather was perfect to sit outside tonight. Not too hot and not too cold. There were a few tables outside available and we snagged one. Our server was very attentive and gave us time to look over the menu. My boyfriend ordered off the special menu with homemade taglioni and shrimp with bacon. The flavor was so tasty. I ordered the appetizer of avocado filednwoth shrimp and cannellini beans. Soooo good. We both had take home which I'm excited about. I'm god we can walk here from our home because it keeps me coming back. read more

Took a day trip from nyc to this town. Decided to have lunch here. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Eggplant parm was tasteless and actually kind of gross. Think boiled eggplant with a layer of cheese, sans even the remotest of seasoning. Zucchini fritti was dark brown instead of a beautiful golden brown. Penne in vodka sauce (we ordered without prosciutto) was ok. Edible but pretty average. Skip this place and find somewhere else to eat. read more

AMAZING fettuccini Alfredo. I've had two birthdays here in a row and they're good with parties, up on the second floor or in one of their side rooms, and good for everyday meals. AMAZING service and I've never had a bad waiter here. Right in the downtown of Westfield and it's cute to walk around after, the main owner or manager there usually at the front is great too. Definitely go here!! Gets pretty packed on weekends and stuff but that's everywhere. 10/10 read more

Really have nothing, but positive things to say about Ferraro's. Been coming here for over 10 years and they are just as good as the first time I dined there. This is a great place to celebrate milestones or have a casual dinner. Their Chicken Giuseppe is on of their best dishes. The arugula is always crisp and lightly dressed. The chicken is always cooked to perfection. Eggplant Parm is also delicious and perfectly cooked. Their clams over linguini is also spot on! I can go on and on about each of their dishes. You really can't go wrong here. The staff is attentive and caring. I look forward to dining here for another 10+ years! read more

Very average. The food,decor and ambiance were each very "meh", prices were okay but while I didn't feel ripped off, neither was it a bargain in any sense. Our server was very attentive. It's a nice touch that they keep "Nona" behind the bar but it's probably to ensure no freebies are given away! read more

One of my friends and I got together to get dinner. When we arrived I parked in the lot nearby. I walked into a nice restaurant. A host let me sit where I pleased. Molly was our server, and she was nice! To start, I wanted the half bottle of red wine, which they didn't have, so I had the old fashion followed by the lemon drop martini. Both weren't bad! For my meal, I got the Giuseppe pizza with grilled chicken. My friend had the penne vodka, and her daughter had the Brooklyn Square pizza. All the food looked great! I really enjoyed the Giuseppe pizza! It was so different with the arugula and the chicken. I definitely had a good experience! read more

1 star because of an employee and the pizza. Every time I am in this restaurant, there is a man possibly in his early 60's who is so loud, always telling a story and is so rude to me. He may as well tell me to get out. And don't order the pizza. It's terrible. Otherwise food is good read more

Service felt rushed initially but other than that everything was great! I went in mid January and the restaurant was nicely decorated with holiday decor. The eggplant Parmesan was okay, it was not breaded well. I did love the tiramisu so I recommend trying their desserts. read more

We got off to a rocky start, with the restaurant losing our reservation. So pro tip: if you call in to reserve, make sure they send you a verification code! Fortunately the host was able to fit us in, so no harm no foul (aside from me mentally preparing to unleash my best "Let me speak to the manager" act). The place itself is smaller on the first floor than the outside lets on, so expect for a louder meal given the proximity of all of the tables. Service was very good, with folks passing by often and refilling water pitchers or cold drinks. While three of us ordered beer, it was only out of the desire for something other than water - the beers on tap were incredibly underwhelming, such that Sam Adams sounded like the most unique option. You're better off with wine! We had a few Appetizers, including arancini, bruschetta, and buratta. All were very tasty, though I wish the portions were a bit larger. With only three arancini, a few slices of bruschetta and an average sized buratta, we certainly could have used more for four people. That said, the entree portions more than made up for it. My baked lasagna was a great size, and came out still steaming hot thanks to the large dish in which it was served. Though I managed to power through my entire meal, everyone else required take home boxes given the sheer size of the course! I finished with the cannoli, which was completely forgettable. Not a fan. Overall a great experience, albeit with a few bumps along the way. Would love to come back and try some of those other huge entrees! read more

Had a beautiful dinner here! The restaurant is situated on a lively street with the restaurant's exterior giving an authentic charm that makes you feel you've been transported to Italy. The place is classy and has 3 levels. The service is excellent but slow. You won't get your food fast but that means it's fresh. Ordered the lobster ravioli and I loved it. It is expensive - you are paying for ambiance and that the food is good but slightly overpriced. I wanna come back and try some more dishes. read more
