We had the guacamole and salsa for an appy which was very good. My husband had a burger and I had the fried chickpea salad special. Both were perfect. The service was excellent.

We've tried other pizza places on Mondays, and every time we end up saying, "It's just not Ferraro's." I like my pizza well done, my friend likes hers a little less done, and they somehow get both of ours right every single time. My favorite is the pepperoni, ham & hot honey pizza--it's SO good! We also love the Margherita, and the mango habanero wings are amazing. And I have to mention the soups because they are seriously delicious. We always check out the specials too, and there's usually something we end up wanting to try. It's the consistency that really keeps us coming back. The food is always fresh, they know exactly how we like it, and we're never disappointed. Ferraro's has definitely become our pizza place. Hands down our favorite in Middlesex!

The noodles were thin like Lipton chicken noodles soup in a packet. The soup was ok. I had better. The hot chicken wings were good. It needed more hot sauce. The chicken wings were not dry inside, but needed more hot sauce. It was dry on the outside. But It was good once I asked for more hot sauce. The pizza was the best of our dinner. The way they make their pizza pie was thin crust. It was a little overdone. Part of the crust was burnt. I like my crust a little soft but firm. The under crust was good. The pizza sauce they used was very tasty and flavorful. I wish I knew that they make their pie well done, otherwise I would have told our server I don't like overdone pizza. We both had a beef on tap. They place is nice and would come back to try their dinner entrees.

Bartender was nice enough but not polished. This place was probably a great bar when it was last redecorated - back in the 70"s???

Someone should buy the building, turn it into condos and clean up the look at street level. You could fit two or three restaurants on the ground floor.

Our total was barely $40 (Drinks & App) and we gave a $100 bill, and the Server asked if we wanted the change back. Seriously? You expect us to leave $60 Tip on a $40 check?

It's been a couple of years since I've been here, and boy has it changed! Looks like they tried to renovate, but did the cheapest, piss poor job ever. Floors bubbling up, etc. The bathrooms smell like the bathrooms at NYC train terminal, and the sauces in the food smelled as if they were sour and not properly handled. I didn't eat the food on fear of getting sick. I used to go for karaoke on fridays, but it seems they have a different DJ now as well. i think New DJs name was Harry. The new DJ got me up once to sing in a 4 hour period. Though not to busy enough for that to happen. It looked as if he catered to his friends. Anyway I will never be back to this place, and I suggest you go elsewhere too read more

After waiting at least 15 min for her to show up from the back, I was able to ask her to change my drink order. The food here is FABULOUS. We got the housemade Irish soda bread and it was amazing. Hubby got the shepherd's pie and it was delicious. I got the lamb chops over asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was FANTASTIC ! I don't know if our waitress was new or what, but our meals were delivered without silverware. We waited several minutes, then finally flagged down another waitress so that we could eat ! If it wasn't for the poor service, this place could easily be 5 stars due to the fabulous food. Thankfully we got out of there before the live music started, loud music is not our vibe. At the very end of the meal, somehow my original drink order made an appearance (that's what I was afraid of, that she didn't cancel the order). The folks at the table next to us ordered the exact same cocktail, so when the bar tried to give it to us, the waitress told them to give it to the table next to us instead. Geez, we were already paying for our meal at the time. Lol The manager did come out and the end of the meal to ask how things were. I did mention I thought our waitress might be new.
