A classic place in dire need of attention

by thewhitetiger

This used to be THE spot for an after meal in little Italy.

What happened???

I understand that we went there late (11pm), but they were still open, so there were no excuses.

The place was busy but not packed. Even though they were plenty of tables for 4 empty, we were told to wait by a hostess with an attitude.

After a couple of minutes we were seated, and a waiter pretty much threw the menus on the table without stopping.

It took a long time for our waiter to show up, and when it did, we couldnt help but noticing how dirty his uniform was, it looked like he had been wrestling on the floor with the other waiters, who looked equaly disheveled and dirty. His attitude wasn’t much better.

After that it took him 3 trips to the kitchen and a 5 minute span to bring 4 desserts and 4 coffees?

For a pricey place, with the amount of history Ferrara has, my expectations were different. I'll guess it will be a while before we return

• Pros: Food quality, decor, location
• Cons: Server's/hostess attitude, dirty uniforms, ambiance

I Recommend Ferrara to all of your friends and family!

by itstime4bed

Absolutely awesome! Best pastry that i have had in a long time and reminds me of my childhood and when my family and i used to go to Italy for the summers. I would recommend Ferrara Bakery and cafe to anyone that is interested in the experience of the find foods and the history that this establishment has to offer. I recently rented out the room that they have to offer on the second floor for an office party and the staff besides being as courteous as they were worked well with my needs and tried to accommodate everything that I needed. The Cannoli?s, chocolate covered and regular are out of this world and I can never seem to get enough of them! The decor is beautiful and I feel that the staff compliments it nicely! After the many great experiences that I have had there, we chose to order my daughters sweet sixteen cake there and came out exactly the way we expected! The office staff and staff downstairs wanted to make sure that my experience with Ferrara was one that was memorable and I want to make sure that people know where to go when looking for the freshest pastries around!

• Pros: great party room on the second floor, Great atmosphere and decor and excellent food
• Cons: must find your own parking, and very crowded on a saturday night ( must mean its good!)
