Ferrara's Market is the best Italian grocery store and sub shop in Franklin. They have all…read moredifferent types of pasta and sauce, Italian desserts(including gelato!), beer and wine, and my favorite...the deli counter. The deli counter not only has a great selection of deli meats, but they also have homemade soppressata and imported prosciutto that melts in your mouth. Fresh cut steaks, marinated steak tips, and chicken can also be found right next to the deli meats. If you're looking for a great sandwich, Ferrara's has an top notch selection of both hot and cold sandwiches that are fresh made. My favorite thing they have is the sausage. They have homemade sweet and hot sausages that are the best I've ever had. I don't know what the secret is but these sausages are tender, juicy, and have a great flavor. Whether you're in search of food to feed an entire graduation party or are just looking for a quick lunch, I highly recommend Ferrara's Market!

We ordered several trays of food from here for our family reunion. They were ready when they said…read morethey would be, trays were full, and the food was delicious. We got a tray of Alfredo Penne with broccoli and chicken, a tray of cheese ravioli, lobster ravioli, chicken piccata, and a tray of chicken parm. All were well received at the family reunion, and these 5 trays fed about 70 people. Overall, the food was fantastic, very flavorful, well prepared, and with good quality ingredients. We picked it up about an hour before the party, and though it was already hot, we kept them warm on serving chafers. Some may say it was a bit expensive, but considering how many people it fed, we felt it was a very good value. Would 100% recommend this spot to others to check out for a meal, or catering. They're well organized, have many options, and are a crowd pleaser!

I ordered chicken Parmesian and I was surprised there was only one serving of chicken and the rest pasta. Disappointing. Upon receiving the bill we figured the tip of 20% to be sufficient minus the tax. We were quite surprised when the waitress complained and then sent over the manager to question if we were unhappy with the service. Well they managed to get an extra 30$ out of us due to guilt. Won't be going there again.

The sweet, smoky flavor, mustardy goodness isn't something I've found done as well anywhere else. And the fish itself was cooked perfectly. They paired the fish with the heartiness of the harvest grain side dish you see pictured. It was a huge serving, and I ate the whole thing because it was amaaaazing. My waitress was lovely and efficient, and I also didn't feel rushed. What made it a four star experience rather than 5 stars for me was the ambiance. The music was horrible--like 1980's big hair band type music. It was such a bizarre contrast to the rest of the upscale ambiance, which looked & felt more like a steakhouse. To my chagrin, it wasn't just one "off" song either...the awful selections kept coming throughout the meal. The music gave it more of a dive bar vibe, and it was so completely offputting that I left sooner than I otherwise would have. It honestly gives me pause when I think about coming again. And that's a real shame because I'd like to bring others here to share the amazing eats. I may try it again on another day. But if the music is the same, I'll be walking right back out the door.

What a find!! We were in the area for the weekend and looked up a few dinner places before settling…read moreon this one-- I was in the mood for Italian. It's not on a main road so definitely qualifies as hidden gem. The parking lot was packed, so there was a little bit of a wait, but not bad. We waited about 10 minutes and the people who came in after were told 20 minutes-- reasonable. Our waitress was nice and came to the table often. They have cocktails, wine, beer, and mocktails. We got the meatball appetizer-- incredible. For dinner, I had possibly one of the top fettuccine alfredos of my life. Pasta dishes come in "small" or "large"-- small was a perfectly fine dinner size for me, especially with the appetizer, but I wouldn't have minded taking large leftovers home!!! My husband had chicken parm which he thought was excellent. It was two cutlets over pasta. We will definitely be back next time we're in town. The perfect little spot for a date or a cozy dinner with family.

We originally decided to come here because we saw someone's post on social media about a tomahawk…read morespecial they had gotten here. Unfortunately, they weren't offering it when we went, but that was honestly on us for not calling ahead and double-checking since the post we saw was a little older. First off, I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation here because this place is insanely busy! We actually got really lucky. I called and they were able to squeeze us in because when I looked online, the only reservations available were much later in the evening, and with a toddler that just doesn't work for us. We were seated pretty quickly and didn't have much of a wait at all. The lobby and decor are beautiful. I loved all the meats in the refrigerators and the fresh vegetables on display. It really gives you that authentic Italian restaurant feel. Our waitress was also absolutely lovely. She was so accommodating, polite, made sure we had everything we needed, and was great with our toddler. Now the food... I ordered a red sangria and when I tell you this was probably one of the best red sangrias I've ever had, I am NOT exaggerating. It was made perfectly. If I didn't have my toddler with me, I probably would have had a few of them They bring out two different types of bread, which I thought was such a nice touch. One was more of a garlic/focaccia-style bread and the other was a warm Italian bread that tasted like it had just come out of the oven. I personally preferred the warm Italian bread. Their olive oil dipping mixture was also delicious. And the fact that they give you TWO different breads for free is just amazing. My husband ordered the veal Parm with pink vodka sauce and I ordered the chicken Parm. I had to try his sauce and WOW. Their pink vodka sauce is SO good. Not every restaurant gets pink vodka sauce right, and I've definitely had some that were awful but this place has it down pat. Seriously, so good. The chicken Parm was really good too. I loved their sauce, and the chicken was nice and thin, which I prefer. I personally like my chicken Parm a little crispier, but it was still really, really good. Based on everything we tried, I would definitely recommend the veal Parm. Honestly, everything coming out to the other tables looked amazing, so there are definitely a lot of things I want to try next time. I might get something different instead of the chicken Parm just because there are so many things that looked good. My husband also had the apple tart which he enjoyed. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back. Next time I'm calling ahead about that tomahawk though!

We enjoyed looking at the murals and the photos on the walls. Our waitress, Donna, was fantastic and very attentive. She brought us sourdough, another type of bread and an oil mixture when we were first seated. They had about ten dinner specials the night we were there, all sounded good. I ended up sticking to the regular menu and ordered pollo alla scarpariello. It was very tasty and huge. I brought at least half home with me to eat the next day. My husband ordered the halibut special. He said it was really delicious. My son ordered the bolognese, which he ate but didn't care for the creaminess of it. One thing I will note is that I wish they had a better selection of wines by the glass. They had a great list of bottles of wines including some super Tuscans , which I love. The wines by the glass list was lacking though. I was the only one at the table drinking wine so I wasn't going to order a bottle. Overall a great experience and we are looking forward to returning.

I was hoping it was just a fluke but last night will be my last meal from there EVER. I got the usual, an eggplant sub. No sauce on it at all. It had what appeared to be canned crushed tomatoes on top of the eggplant "gross". And eggplant was old and flavorless. My husband ordered a BACON cheeseburger sub with onion and tomato. What he received was two hockey pucks on a roll with NO bacon or cheese. Subpar does not even come close to how inedible it was. I threw away after two bites, my husband after three. Never again George's. You have lost a group of good and loyal customers. We went at least once a week. Never again

The bacon on the strawberry bruschetta is as so hard, it almost chipped my vaneers but was pretty good! The steak tips were divine and cooked perfectly! And the Rigatoni Matthew was amazing. Our server was very understanding about our mom with dementia which was also much appreciated. We understand how busy it was in the day of our visit and are grateful that she was so accommodating Overall good experience despite the nut allergy scare and crispy bacon.
