A gf saw a reel claiming this place makes the best lasagna ever so I'm basing my review on this. The lasagna is not on the menu but on the "secret menu". The decor was welcoming and very interesting. I'm partial to brick walls and eclectic decor though. It was a great place to go for comfort food on a rainy day in Toronto. Server greeted us promptly and were attentive. The grilled calamari was yummy and presented well with olives and fresh greens. It was perfectly cooked. The lasagne was good but not the best I ever had. Lots of layers but could have had more sauce. It was still delicious. Great place to meet a friend or go on a date. read more

One of my favourite Italian restaurants in the city. Always consistently delicious with generous portions and fair prices. My go to is the mushroom parpadelle and I get it with less dairy - the team is always super accommodating of dietary restrictions and preferences, something that unfortunately is rare in a lot of Italian restaurants. Other than the pasta, they have a great pear salad and an extensive wine list. read more

Checked out Ferro bar with friends recently. So glad we did. Things to know. - highly recommend reservations, especially on the weekends (it's hopping on a Saturday night) - parking is on street or side street. (Green P) or go via TTC street car. Loved the lasagna here. One of the best I've had in the city (I had the one with bolognese sauce). Note - believe it's a special on the weekends. Friends ordered the seafood and omg it was a generous portion. Dark intimate ambiance, so great for date night too. I'll be going back for sure. (I have a friend that wants that lasagna lol) read more

I used to live in the neighbourhood and Ferry was easily one of my top 3 restaurants. The food is so good I drool just thinking about it. They have some of the best pizzas I've had in the city. The flavour combinations are just incredible. I love that they have different lasagna creations every night. Our go to would always be the lasagna and a pizza and split. The tiramisu is so good too and they give you a nice hearty piece. We typically got take out and ate at home, but once in awhile we'd go in person. If there's one thing they can improve on, it's the service. It's always pretty spotty and takes awhile to get noticed. read more

Ferro has some dishes that are best-in-the-city level. The pear and prosciutto pizza had a great salty-sweet tastes, generous toppings and a soft-chewy crust. The magic mushrooms lived up to the billing as they somehow made mushrooms and crostini taste mindblowingly good with its garlic seasoning and great crunch. And the tiramisu was velvety smooth and melted in your mouth. Other dishes we got were ok. The octopus had a generous serving of tasty veggies but would have liked more of the octopus itself. The spaghetti ala marinara had good seafood (especially liked the scallop) but would have liked the sauce to have a bit more kick. Service was efficient. Prices were generally reasonable for the taste and portion sizes. Place had a casual vibe. Will definitely go back to try more of their pizzas and sink into that tiramisu again. read more

Ferro been eating here for 30 years. Always delicious always consistent. Known for their pizzas and pasta, but all their food is delicious. If you have not been I highly recommend Ferro! read more

Absolutely love the food here! The truffle pasta is really good. The ingredients are fresh and they use fresh pasta. The pesto pasta is very good as well . Prices are very reasonable. Small selection of wine. Tiramisu is a must. This is a very homey italian restaurant, not pretentious at all. Service was great. We got the - truffle pasta - pesto spaghetti - bolognese - fried calamari - mushroom toast - mushroom salad They're available on OpenTable for reso. Highly recommend this place for authentic Italian food read more

We arrived around opening on a weekend and it was empty. I find it weird eating in a restaurant that's totally empty, it's a bit awkward but nothing they can do about that. We went based on instagram photos and tbh I wish I had seen Yelp reviews first. The food was just meh - not bad but not great. The pastas were nothing special, same with the pizza. The food was overall decent but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone by any means. Overall, an okay experience. read more

Lovely food and gorgeous atmosphere. Staff are friendly and the environment felt very lovely. One thing I felt was the staff were somewhat rushing us, but I understand there are time limits. Overall, I will comeback here for sure. My pasta was delicious, fresh, flavourful, just beautiful and gorgeous. read more

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Philip was attentive and deserves five stars as well. For starters we had the Octopus Bomba which was a grilled large portion on a bed of vegetables. OMG the best I've ever had. Next we had Spaghetti Marinara with lots of seafood, son had Arctic Char and DIL had a gluten free pasta. All excellent. It was my son's birthday and I had whispered it to Philip. He brought out a huge Nutella dessert. I can't wait to go back. read more

I would say this is a 3.5 not a 4 star. The restaurant was nice inside, had a very romantic atmosphere and lighting was warm which I liked. We got the octopus, mussels, hot honey pizza , diavola pizza, calamari and penne alla vodka. The octopus was good but it came played with a whole bunch of extra stuff that I didn't like. The actual octopus was cooked to perfection though. I loved the hot honey pizza, the combination of the sweet and spicy was perfect for me. However, we noticed the diavola was also sweet, which typically diavola is not meant to be sweet, so that came as a surprise, not a good surprise though. The penne alla vodka was very good and creamy, however the calamari was average. The showstopper was the mussels though, I loved it. The mussles were very fresh and the sauce did not distract from the freshness of the mussles. It was perfect. They also brought my dad our a tiramisu with a candle for this birthday, which was so special and sweet. The tiramisu was very nice too. read more

Been here a couple of times and both times I got the Calabrese bianco pasta (sausage, garlic, rapini with olive oil sauce). The pasta was delicious and had leftovers for lunch the next day. We also tried the octopus appetizer which came with a SCRUMPTIOUS veggie salsa type of sauce and we made sure to clean that plate. My husband had a beef special with polenta and we were not impressed with either :( both severely lacked flavour. The charcuterie board was good but was missing a sweet element, like a honey or a jam. The second time I brought a friend and her pesto pasta was really good! Just the right level of garlicky. The ambiance was super cute and just the kind of place you want to take a date on or catch up with a friend. As it got later at night, I noticed the bar gearing up but didn't check it out. I was able to find street parking very nearby so I thought it was convenient enough. read more

Ferro Bar & Cafe - Charcuterie board - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This has been our favourite Toronto restaurant since they opened more than 30 years ago. It was always a 5 star restaurant for us. Unfortunately, due to excessive garlic, they have lost a star. Ferro's tomato sauce has always been the star of the show but now you can't even taste tomatoes. The sauce that comes with the margherita calzone is so overwhelmed by garlic that even after rinsing, we had to throw it out. We just had their pasta pomodoro and although it wasn't quite as garlicky as the calzone sauce, I couldn't finish it. The GARLIC sauce is all I could taste for hours. We ask Ferro to please use the wonderful sauce that they prepared for years, and if guests really want to be slapped in the face with garlic, perhaps Ferro could add an extra garlic option to their drop down menu add-ons. Sincerley, we're not vampires. read more

Worst Service Ever. I was so excited to visit Ferro as I've been following them on Instagram for years and their food looks mouth watering. As we ordered a bottle of wine the bartender spilled it all over the glass, put a napkin under it and left...We were wearing white so we then cleaned up his mess. Server only attended us when we told the host we needed the server. We ordered the octopus and caesar as appetizers - octopus was all salt and the caesar was the worst. Where we were seated we can see in the kitchen and water was spewing all over the floor from the drain...We then ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese and Basil Pesto Burrata Spaghetti. The rigatoni was dry and the basil pesto spaghetti was swimming in sauce.... When we paid for the bill they called us back because they forgot to charge us for the wine. Servers were slow and confused the entire night. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

They had rapini as a side, which is always a plus. The containers for delivery are unsustainable. The mussels cooked in wine tasted like they were not cooked in wine, but steamed in water with a wine sauce poured on top. This resulted in zero flavour of the actual mussels. Extremely disappointing. This was my second time ordering after a successful first time, but I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Have eaten here many timer and was always satisfied but this time I had the Shrimp Risotto and was thoroughly disappointed. It arrived with the rice swimming in a spicy soup of tomato sauce, risotto is not supposed to be a soup. Next time I'll stick to the fries and true Pizza lunch there, which they are great at and known for read more

Food is excellent and service is outstanding but unless you are deaf it is NOT an enjoyable dining experienc. The place was full with many ongoing conversations but the background'music' made it all but impossible to hear my guests across the table. I requested to have the volume of sound from my overhead speaker to be diminished or (even better) terminated but, if anything, the sound grew louder. will not be returning, which is sad read more

Early April used ubereats to order the originale pizza from Ferro Bar and Cafe. The fresh thin crusted pizza was delicious with quality ingredients. I believe this is wood oven pizza?! I think i prefer thin crusted pizza ever since I discover them. Will reorder from this place next time! read more

The food wasn't bad, but the hygiene was terrible. My friend and I came July 9th at the tail end of salsa on st. Claire. I went to the bathroom. No toilet paper, no soap. Even asked 2 employees to restock. Nothing. So used my hand sanitize (btw e.cold isn't killed with sanitizer as it's spores so has to be washed off). Walked past the kitchen and it just looked dirty and I had a bad feeling. Anyway, stupidly ended up staying, ignoring my gut feeling and we had food. At around 3 am woke up with horrible nausea and stomach pain. My friend vomited twice. Totally disgusting and unhygienic place. If you know a festival is on, then prep to have at least the bathroom stocked properly. And employees - Wash. Your. Hands. read more

Service was friendly. Food is quite mediocre, not authentic Italian. Music is impossibly loud, terrible ambiance. Will not return.

A perfectly cooked piece of salmon is hard to find and I found it here. A lovely meal with friends.

This is a restaurant I came to often pre pandemic. Covid pickup review. Many / most people inside not masked 0/5 Food was quick and ppl on phone helpful. The food was extra greasey. Not the same level as food in store. Picking up 2 to 4 meals per week in Covid. One of the worst at masking. No one cooking the food in masks. People hanging out indoors no masks. Too bad. read more

I ordered from here and I'm always usually satisfied. Great place! Love the pasta specials!

I ordered the following from Uber eats -piatto di pesce (with white lemon sauce):3.5/10 there were lots of mussels and maybe four shrimps. The flavour was kind of weak -lasagna with cheesy garlic bread: 3/5 the lasagna itself was VERRY acidic and a bit too salty. The garlic bread was the BEST IVE EVER HAD 6/5 for the bread -Hawaiian pizza: 3.5/5 pretty underwhelming. But it reheated well. They use pepperoni instead of ham which I wasn't a fan of read more

OVERT BLATANT RACISM EXPERIENCED HERE TODAY. OVERT RACISM occurred at this restaurant. I am absolutely DISGUSTED with the behaviour I am a mixed race-black 25 year old woman who visited this restaurant on my birthday with my mom. We didn't have a reservation, We walked in. The owner told us he had no seating for 2 people. He offered the bar or a tiny table right in front of the door. We declined as people come in & out and the door opens and blows freezing cold wind in. We ordered take out and we're waiting Not long after a white couple came in with their probably 5 month old baby. They said the EXACT same thing as us. They did not have a reservation and were walking in. He offered them a much nicer table and even offered to get them a table in the back. I asked him why we weren't offered the same thing. He started to stutter and get defensive and say they were a bigger party of people. (lol the 5 month old who can barley eat food counted....) he also said he offered us that table and that it was no different than sitting at the bar. We disagreed. He began to get irritated. My mom asked if he was racist and he began to get angry and raised his voice and said he was offended and that it was an insult. we asked AGAIN why we were not offered the same. He continued to become extremely defensive and angry. We said we call it how we see it and this was unfair. This man is racist. Its disgusting to see how myself and my mom were treated and even worse on my birthday..... Extremely terrible customer service. We voided the order and left. I left crying. Absolutely will never come to this racist run restaurant again read more

Absolutely love this place! Come here on special dates with my boyfriend. The food is great but on top of that, the service is amazing too!

Super cute restaurant with great decor. Lots of interesting things to look at, almost a bit of a steampunk feel, and the place is bigger than it looks. I got the seafood pasta and it was delicious - very generous with the amount of seafood! They also offered lots of vegetarian options, which was great for my sister. Prices are about average for a middle tier Italian place. Would definitely go again. read more

My 7 year old daughter is ceiliac. I i formed the waitress multiple times. Half way through my daughters dinner she started to feel severely unwell. When i asked the waitress she confirmed that the pasta was not gluten free and barely apologized. My daughter is severely ill this evening and the restaurant still had the nerve to charge foe the rest of the meal which was two appetizers. I am disgusted by this place and will NEVER go back here. read more

So i had bookmarked this place and promised myself id go like 8 times & try everything on their menu cause man do I love me some Italian food. Tonight was my first time there .. lets start LET ME TELL YOU. The BEST decision in my food life, was choosing the magic mushrooms for the appetizer . They are an orgasmic MUST. & i will no doubt order that every time I come. I got the fusilli as the main , realllly good, & I love my food well salted but it was a tad too salty for me. My friend ordered the Calabrese and she loved it. (Photos will be posted in a minute) The service was alright, very friendly but had to wait a while for the bill & then to pay the bill.. The place is a bit loud but overall a cute and great place for a date or with friends Table next to us got the pizzas and they were pretty big and yum WILL BE BACK asap to try everything else read more

Ironically the experience that occurred this evening mirrors many of the negative reviews. thank you, reviewers, for validating my experience. Hope one of the owners or restaurant owners Domenic Pronesti gets a chance to read this review. Way too much attitude from one employee- please do not read this review if you are a parent or grandparent, or just respect mothers and children. My wife and my son arrived around 9 pm and requested a seat in the back because it was a bit cooler and my wife explained that our child was very young only 7 months old and that we would prefer to sit away from the kitchen where it was hot and noisy. We were advised that it was closed, Several minutes later several couples made their way to the back, my wife made an inquiry and a waiter made a quick change of planes. We were seated in the back. We enjoyed our meal and the service from the waiter who made the arrangement was great. After the meal, we inquired with the original staff that refused to seat us in the back and asked why we were not provided with a seat. He then changed his story from We were closed and do not have space to... "It is by reservation only. I then asked if it was by reservation only why did he not say that it was by reservation? Have been caught in a lie- the male staff said " Who the F@UK are you .... "while glaring and grinding his teeth, he then outright refused, saying that he did not see our "F@cking baby my wife advised him that was not the case, The male staff then said " Who the F*UCK is She", while my 7-month-old baby was sitting in my wife's lap, as someone who treats people with respect I am not going to allow someone to speak to my family or anyone else in the manner in which this staff spoke to myself and my family. The owner of this restaurant should be ashamed to have staff speak to a mother in front of her child in this manner, We would like to advise the general public to avoid visiting or spending their money in this restaurant. The food was great, the blonde server was fantastic and she made the evening. Diego was a gentleman but at the end of the day, who wants to deal with rude, arrogant staff that will curse at women and children. Please avoid this establishment we won't be returning to this restaurant to eat, there were about 15 empty seats at the back maybe if they had the right personnel in place they would have been at capacity. Epic fail on this one. After all that, my wife still had the class and decency to tip the staff. It's like my uncle always taught me you can't teach a class. Never returning to this establishment. read more

One of the few premium Italian restaurants that at least from a delivery perspective sufficiently fill the take away containers with enough food to leave most adults full.

Great food. Delicious pizza and great other food. Great service and ambience. Amazing experience and will go to again.

Good service. Loved the magic mushrooms appetizer. Prosciutto pizza was delicious and a generous serving. Perfect for sharing.

food and service were great. however, watch out for the salt on the risotto which had a great texture, lots of fungi but a bit too much salt. the Rapini with the burrata was way too bitter. a simple bed of arugula would have been so much bette. the halibut was a bit over done. all in all , the experience was wonderful and I would definitely go again. read more
