    Lovely atmosphere by the fireplace on a cool night. My husband couldn't stop raving about the lasagna. It was chocked full of delicious meat and great sauce. I had seafood risotto that was also delicious and did not disappoint. The have a lovely patio in the back that we weren't able to enjoy this time. It was a little too chilli for us. I would recommend this place to anyone.

    The crew at FERRO are terrific, we have visited for a birthday for several years and they are on every detail. The food and service are fantastic and the level of care is unmatched. What a gem. Thanks for the non-alcoholic cocktail list too, a great addition.

    At the unfortunate experience is sitting out on the deck. It was extremely loud, with crazy music. The food was extremely average and expensive.
