About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
Ferro has been established and family-operated since 1993. The Space: Originally a billiard hall of colourful yet dubious character which endured for over 20 years, the Pronesti family took possession over two decades ago and added eclectic yet tasteful elements of industrial, avant-garde design while maintaining the vibrancy and creative energy of the original space. The Food: Serving up traditional southern Italian cuisine with a creative spin where we feel you will enjoy it! Our original culinary ambitions have never changed: By holding true to the family recipes and dedication to fresh ingredients as passed down through the generations that have preceded us, we bring you authentic, honest, home-cooked food the very same way we enjoy it.

    Service took forever and after meal it took 45 min for someone to ask for dessert or coffee. Twice we had clarifications on orders and wait staff blamed us. First we ordered Caesar salads for before meal. They brought one side and one large. Only wanted two sides and they pushed back and said we didn’t specify. The menu also indicated asparagus as a side, but it came with broccolini. But rather than being upfront as to why it is changed or that it was changed, they just replaced without offering another option. Then made my mother in law feel guilty for even questioning the change. Food was generally good, but service was not up to a meal that expensive.
    Ferro Bar & CafeResponded on October 9, 2026
    We truly appreciate you taking the time to provide this detailed feedback about your recent experience with us. We're sincerely sorry to hear that our service fell short in multiple areas during your visit, especially regarding the Caesar salads and the side dish changes. This isn't the standard we're proud of, and we definitely want to make things right. If you could share this via email at info[at]ferrobarcafe. com, it would help us address this directly. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to hear from you soon.

    Nice restaurant however we asked them to turn down music and they actually turned it up. Food was good however the noise and the attitude of the staff scratched each other out. Will move on and try another restaurant next time
    Ferro Bar & CafeResponded on September 28, 2026
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Elissa. We genuinely appreciate your feedback about the noise level and staff attitude, as these aspects are just as important to a great dining experience as the food itself. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the food; however, it's disappointing that we didn’t meet your expectations in other areas. If you could reach out to us at info[at]ferrobarcafe. com with more details, it would greatly assist us in understanding how we can improve moving forward. Your input is invaluable, and we hope to have the chance to provide you with a better experience next time. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

    Everything was as expected. Food was delicious. I was disappointed a little bit because they were out of their amazing lasagna but other than that I loved everything.
    Ferro Bar & CafeResponded on September 29, 2026
    We’re grateful to hear that you found the food delicious despite our lasagna being unavailable. We understand how disappointing it can be when a favorite dish is out of stock, but we're glad everything else met your expectations. Thanks for your support, Ghazal!

    The experience would have been entirely different if we didn’t have such a terrible experience with the staff + service. We waited a long time for our drinks/appetizers which we had to follow up with our waiter about after seeing people get sat down after us with food. Once it was brought out, we felt very rushed since everything came out at once (a waiter tried to take our burrata appetizer off the table while we were still eating it). After mentioning it to our server/the manager, they handled it very poorly and defensively instead of apologizing. The manager even asked what he was supposed to do for us instead of handling it professionally. They ended up taking our burrata off the bill but overall a very bad experience.
    Ferro Bar & CafeResponded on September 22, 2026
    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Jordan. We're truly sorry that your visit was marred by service issues and that our team didn't handle the situation as professionally as they should have. It's clear how frustrating it must have been to feel rushed while enjoying your burrata appetizer and then receive a defensive response from our staff. Your feedback is crucial in helping us understand where we need to improve, so we would appreciate it if you could contact us at info[at]ferrobarcafe. com. We’re committed to making necessary changes based on insights like yours. Thank you again for reaching out, and we hope we can make things right moving forward. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

    That fish stew for 2 is still phenomenal. The pizza is also incredible. Huge portions and so tasty.
