This is a fantastic restaurant for a lovely night out or a date night. I love their quality of food, it is hand made pasta and sauces, as good as if you are eating in a restaurant in Rome. The food is really fantastic. The service is always top notch and you will feel very welcomed. My husband and I have been here at least 8 times over the past few months and we will continue to go. This is worth trying- you will not be disappointed.

Our family have now eaten here twice and we’re a large group. Everyone loved the choices they made from ravioli, carbonara, fettuccini and pizzas.
What we REALLY appreciated is the gluten-free options for our 2 celiacs. They really appreciated the gf pasta. Asked for the recipe but it’s a family secret.
Loved our time here.

My wife and I have tried 3 times and continue to be be extremely disappointed. The service is terrible, the food is mediocre at regular price, let alone the prices they charge. The husband and wife owners bicker while fighting and swearing with the kitchen staff. Not an enjoyable experience, we have decided to never return.

To say we were underwhelmed is an understatement! We had a reservation to ensure there was adequate serving staff. Booking with 12 people, I wanted to ensure we were taken care of in a timely fashion and didn’t slam the kitchen. Luckily for us we had 2 people cancel last minute bringing our table down to 10 as the service was slow enough with reduced numbers.
Starting with the drink order, that was painful. The first 4 people received their drinks relatively quickly, but the remainder took well over 10 minutes. Moving onto the appetizers, we thought they were a little behind due to the high number of tables ordering so we waited patiently. Half hour later, we received them, not the most flavorful but we finished them.
Back to the drinks, there was no offering of a refill unless you asked specifically for one. If you got the attention of the server, you only got what you asked for an no other consideration of anyone else at the table. We had to ask 3 times for water, which we were told that there were still a couple inches in one of the jugs at the opposite end of the table!
An hour and a half into our sitting, we had to ask about our meal as other tables that were sat after us were already eating their meals. We were told that the chef was working on them now! When I expressed, we had reservations at another venue in 40 minutes, they decided to bring what was already prepared and waiting. They started with the main entrée’s but neglected to bring the side pastas until we were already ½ done our meals. It was alright though because the pasta was incredibly bland anyways and not worth the wait. The one pizza that was ordered was the last thing to arrive, which was approx. 10 minutes after the first entrée was delivered.
In summary, quality service was non-existent, appetizers were average at best, entrées were a letdown and dessert were not an option as our schedule didn’t allow for overtime!
Maybe my expectations were a little high from what friends said they experienced at this restaurant, but I left two and a half hours to enjoy our meals but ended up having to encourage our server to bring our food out in time to make our other reservation.
We try and support local whenever we can, but this makes it difficult when we receive this kind of service and Calgary has so many options that are only a few minutes away.

Service was excellent, but dinner was very hit and miss. Some orders were, at best, very good (pizzas), others completely unoriginal and uninspired (boring ceasar salad and poorly prepared, flavourless carbonara). If a restaurant wants to charge premium prices, all food options must be of the highest order. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Will not return.

We had been to Ferraro @ their previous Center Ave. location in Airdrie & the food was exceptionally good. We recently went to their new Edmonton Trail location in Airdrie with the same couple for a joint Birthday celebration for the women. Our reservation was @ 6 PM & were were seated by then. They had no wine list to order wine, just reds & whites listed on a chalk board, so you had to get up & go see what they had to offer. The prices for their wines is "way too expensive" for this type of restaurant, as most were close to / or over $100. We chose their "low end" $65 bottle of white, but that was substituted with a different bottle when delivered to the table & we were also told there was no more of this one either. Our waiter was the owners son & he suggested that we get our order in right away (the restaurant was only 1/2 full @ the time), so we had our food ordered by 6:10 - 6:15 PM. There was no bread or the like given to us & it was 7:15 PM before our appetizer arrived. $12 for 6 pieces of Focaccia bread & an additional $4 for a very small side of tomato / bruchetta to go with; very pricey! By 7:40 PM I asked if our main meal would be coming out soon & he told us it would. @ 8:20, 40 minutes later, or over 2 hours after we ordered our meals, my wife asked if they lost our order. He thought it was funny to call her the "Squeaky Wheel" & made several lame excuses!! There were other tables where people had ordered after us, got their food, ate, left & now other people were @ the table. Finally @ 8:40 he realized we still didn't have our food & @ ~ 8:45 PM, just a mere 2 1/2 hours after we ordered it arrived, "cold"! My guess was that he lost & / or forgot to put our order in & then they rushed to get it to us. Then when we went to leave, I tried for close to 30 minutes to get the waiter's attention to get us our bill. Finally we had to get up, put on our coats & stand by the front door for him to finally bring us our bill @ 9:30 PM! So our expectation of some great food & a memorably experience went up in Ferraro Flames! No free dessert, no discount on our bill. He offered free drinks which we didn't want! Because I'm not rude I tipped the bill & now wish I hadn't, as tips are for "Service" & we got none! Way too much attention given to others! Stop talking & provide Service!

The checking of our Covid vaccination card was precarious at the least. Although the server was friendly, he was not wearing a mask and we did not know if he was vaccinated or not. Food is expensive for what you get . No bread unless you are willing to pay extra; food did not seem as fresh as they claim; gnocchi was like rubber; they put cheese on your meal without asking if that is what you want; and bland. Presentation of the meal made the food undesirable.
I am sure this restaurant may be appealing to some, but not for us.

Going to Ferraro’s is an exceptional night out. We are always welcomed with the biggest, warmest welcome that makes us feel like we are family. The service is fabulous, the food is exquisite and the experience amazing. We love looking at the menu but more often than not we ask the staff to surprise us … it’s just that good and so fun to see what they bring to the table! We are never rushed through a meal - it’s the perfect place to go with friends and plan to spend the evening.

Very authentic Italian food right here in Airdrie. Any of the pastas are excellent. They definitely use a lot of butter and cheese. The carbonara is great. The pizzas are all great but the Raviolis are the best. The only thing is that the next day leftovers are tough to re-heat and enjoy the same way as when first made.

Food: 5 star
Family friendly: NO , 0 stars
Anyone with kids(my son is 11) is being seated in the back room which is very simple. Paying premium price for the food should give you the better seating! Not in the back of restaurant!!!
If the food wasn’t as good we would not return to this restaurant.

The food was soo authentic and amazing. It sure took me back to Italy.
Nalla, the owner was our server. She is soo passionate about her food and customers and ensures every customer's experience soo special by making sure the food is beyond their expectation.
Highly recommend this place for authentic Italian food and experience.

We have eaten at the restaurant many times at both of their locations and enjoy their food HOWEVER their service has been the reason that we rarely eat there now. We tried again last night as the weather was crummy and we didn't want to drive into Calgary. It started when I was told while there is a glass of red wine left I could not order it as it was the last glass! and one of our dining companions may want it? So water it is. We found the ordering rushed and several times our waiter walked away. My husband received the wrong dish and while it was removed the returning dish was just the incorrect dish with some cheese added? When dessert arrived I asked for a fork as we were sharing and was told to use my fingers? We have thought it was cute over our visits to have our Italian accent criticized or being told what to order, but this is now becoming obvious that this is their brand. Fair warning before you visit.

Save your money, wish it would of been better I ordered risotto and it was white rice not Arborio. I wonder if they were understaffed? The service was not even service. I hope they don’t have more nights like this or it won’t survive
This is why we always go to Calgary for meals
Was hoping to find a spot close to home

We recently had a fabulous dinner at Ferraro June 28. All meals were excellent. The starters, squid two ways and scallops were very tasty. My veal was exceptional with a mushroom gravy. The side pasta, which is home made, was very good.all others in our party commented on the quality of the food and the most wonderful service. We have eaten there several times always with great results. For a great meal at reasonable prices I highly recommend trying them out.
