Food and dining options are plentiful in Las Vegas, especially on The Strip. However, sometimes it’s nice to walk away and enjoy the (relatively) quiet serenity of the city and get away from the bleary-eyed casino-goers.
Ferraro’s, on Paradise Rd., is just a short drive or a two mile walk from Las Vegas Blvd. and offers some of the finest service and cuisine I have ever experienced.
The restaurant has a standard menu and seasonal specials. They also appreciate the locals who come in. During the summer months, show a local ID and be treated to buy one, get one entrees. From September to June, on Friday and Saturday nights, locals enjoy 50 percent off the standard menu.
Portions are a nice size, without being huge, but you don’t leave hungry, either.
I ordered the penne fiorentina, penne pasta in a red sauce with spinach chicken and garlic. It was good, but definitely needed something, I would have added either roasted pine nuts for a crunch or kalamata olives for a zing. The garlic was whole cloves, beautifully roasted, melted on your tongue like butter and not at all bitter.
The table also ordered vitello saltimbocca, which had a nice, thick slice of prosciutto topped with a perfectly thick layer of mozzarella and melted until the cheese was gooey and the prosciutto was crisp on the edges.
We also ordered salmon, which was perfectly moist and flaky, and a nice size portion. As well as lasagna, which is a perfectly composed standard and beautifully plated.
Ferraro’s, a family owned restaurant, is located at 4480 Paradise Rd., just across from the Hard Rock Hotel.
