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.
