You don’t stick around in Las Vegas for over 35 years just because of ambiance.

Ferraro’s pasta is simply a fresh and delicate delight, no matter what dish you choose and if you just ordered pasta with some olive oil, you would leave a happy person. The dish that truly highlights fresh pasta and a plethora of flavors is the Rigatoni alla Spilinga. The rigatoni is wonderful and cooked perfectly as it holds up to all the ingredients. The highlight of the dish though has to be the house made spicy sausage that is just rich and flavorful. You can taste the unique Italian flavors that make the sausage bring that subtle bit of heat to each bite and then layered throughout is caciocavallo cheese. Seemingly if you ask anyone who has dined at Ferraro’s, the Coniglio Brasato is a must, and they would be right. The dish is centered around braised rabbit on top of soft polenta and roasted mushrooms. The rabbit is fall off the bone tender and has a delightful subtle flavor to it. If you haven’t tried rabbit or had a bad experience, this will certainly change your view as it leave to never order chicken again.

The remaining menu leaves you with just too many tasty options. Some of the highlights include: Lombata Milanese, a pounded Butcher Block Reserve veal chop, the Trippa Satriano, slow braised honeycomb beef stomach lining in a spicy tomato sauce and Ferraro’s has a wonderful Branzino on the menu as well. Try to save room after all these rich dishes that will have you running for a nap, as dessert is a must. Ferraro’s offers a wonderful version of the clasic Tiramisu, but the crepes are the way to go to finish off your dining experience. A great dish to share, the delicate and still warm crepe is filled with nutella, mascarpone cheese and topped with vanilla ice cream. This is 100% dessert and you will be fighting for the last bite.
