Welcome to the real world

All I see is complaints about this place. What did you expect? There are no more Italians in little Italy so why do you go to a tourist area where everything is mediocre and prices are through the roof and the service people could care less what you think of them because they'll never see you again. Fortunately for them they have millions of new first timers who come every day with expectations of seeing Don Corleone and eating authentic Italian food and wind up with empty pockets and the same unsatisfied feelings we have all had when we have been taken. If you must, take a nice stroll, eat a granita (lemon ice) and buy a little red pepper key chain and then go OUT of the area to enjoy a nice meal. Buon Apetito.

disgusting!!!

by dtyfu

I purchased an assorted cookie platter online and it was horrible!! The cookies had a wet, freezer taste. Not fresh. Just AWFUL!!! They probably have the platters stored in the freezer, then when orders come in they thaw them out and send them. The cookies were just disgusting!!! $32.50 worth of garbage!!! BUYER BEWARE..........

Average Cannoli

by jlw05

Was in the neighborhood and I was craving a cannoli. I didn't want to sit down but instead decided to take out. I was waited on quickly and ordered a chocolate covered cannoli. I couldn't help but notice that the size of the cannoli was about 2/3 the size of the cannoli I purchase at my favorite NYC bakery, Viniero's and also more expensive. The cannoli itself was OK but unremarkable. Besides being a bit on the small side, the shell was more more like a biscuit than the crunchy shell I prefer. There were a few meager chocolate chips scattered at the ends of the cannoli. I think Ferrara's is probably a pleasant place to sit down and have an expresso and a pastry and probably has great appeal to tourists but this native New Yorker won't be rushing back.
