My fiancé treated me to a birthday/anniversary dinner here and it was lovely. This place definitely prides itself on its amazing high quality food and impeccable service. Robert, our server was kind, genuine and very knowledgeable. I imagine he serves countless people celebrating something around Valentine’s Day and he still managed to make our night feel special.
Appetizers:
– Grilled octopus: 4/5: classic combo of octopus with potatoes. I liked the addition of the olives, but the dish needed a hit of lemon
– Venison carpaccio 5/5: absolutely incredible; this dish was both of our favorites from the whole dinner. Will definitely dream about this dish.
Main course:
– Lamb Ossobuco, 4/5: incredibly tender fall-off-the bone lamb and the saffron risotto was lovely – but the dish was missing something – the lamb dipped in the sauce from the Chilean sea bass made it 5/5
– Chilean sea bass with puttanesca, 4/5: perfectly cooked fish but the strong flavor of the olive puttanesca overpowered the delicate flavor of the white fish. I feel like the fish paired better over the mild saffron risotto and the lamb with the olive sauce – not a criticism! Just my preference. Everything was cooked perfectly and came out perfectly timed.
Atmosphere: inviting and warm. My only suggestion is for the restaurant to invest in some better art – the random framed stock images leave something to be desired.

Such a great restaurant! Elegant place with a lovely atmosphere and wonderful service (sadly I can’t remember our server’s name, but he’s the handsome bodybuilder guy). They checked on us regularly without hovering. We had the octopus and the meatballs as appetizers—both were great. The lasagna was OK too, but I wasn’t blown away; however, the lamb was the best we’ve ever eaten, literally 11 out of 10. Heaven!! Tiramisu was delicious too. I need to try their “Bites” Bistro as well. Highly recommend!

We celebrated my father’s birthday at Ferraro’s Kitchen, and the entire experience was outstanding. Our server, Tony, went above and beyond to make the evening special—attentive, genuine, and incredibly welcoming. The food was amazing, from start to finish, and the service was truly top notch.
If you’re in Blue Ridge, GA, Ferraro’s Kitchen is absolutely a must-visit. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about Ferraro’s Kitchen in Blue Ridge. Bill at the bar is a phenomenal customer service practitioner. The chefs are, no lie, actual culinary wizards. We had the meatballs appetizer and Caesar salad to start which were augmented by plenty of extra parmesan. My husband had the venison filet, which looked so wonderful I had to have a bite. It was every bit as good as it looked. I had the ossobuco and risotto which was delicious. The portion was very large and I took half of it home. We topped it all off with tiramisu, which was perfect. It wasn’t cheap, but it was so worth it.

Excellent, authentic Italian food in Blue Ridge, Georgia? Check. This restaurant has the wow factor you’re looking for the ambiance and service you’d expect in a high end establishment.
We were greeted by their hostess and GM as soon as we walked in and were sat in a cozy table up against the wall where the wines were displayed. We were greeted by a server assistant who took our water order. Yes…three options…tap, still and sparkling. 9 dollars for a bottle of still water may seem steep but it was worth it. We were asked if we were celebrating anything and we said it was our 8th wedding anniversary. We were given a card that was signed by the entire staff and complimentary glasses of champagne.
Our server was Mattia and he was incredible and personable. He was great with conversation and answered our questions with enthusiasm mentioning he was the son of the chef, Igor who had come to Blue Ridge to open his restaurants after he fell in love with the area.
Mattia was attentive and ensured we were checked on in a timely manner. The server assistants were excellent with refilling our water and clearing the table as needed.
The food…INCREDIBLE. We started with the Burrata and it was delicious. Excellent choice to start with. Their Caesar salad was one of the best we’ve ever had and got the taste buds going for our main dishes.
My wife has the mushroom and truffle risotto and mentioned it was some of the best she has ever had. I opted for the spaghetti Cacio and pepe and it was truly mouthwatering.
We couldn’t end the meal without dessert and while Mattia did mention they did not have their tiramisu we had the Gelato and mille foglie which was the perfect ending to the meal.
Again, not enough can be said about the staff and Mattia who truly is a treasure at this restaurant. If youre in town, make it a point to stop in for a delicious meal where you’ll be taken care of.

If you would like to go to an Italian restaurant that does everything right then Ferraro’s kitchen is a must. Food quality, taste, and portions were all excellent. The service was very friendly and attentive. Reservations seem like they are a must as we came on a Tuesday evening and it was packed. Many people were turned away which I think were just people without reservations. Huge kudos to Robert our waiter who was excellent.
Five solid stars and two thumbs up!

My husband and I made reservations at Ferraro’s while on our honeymoon, we arrived 40 min early and got seated right away. We immediately were provided water, bread/oil and complementary prosecco. Our waiter Mattia was very professional and was on top of his game. Our glasses were never empty, our finished dishes were taken off the table the second they were empty and our food was made perfectly. My husband got the lamb and I got the special cheese wheel pasta and we had no complaints. We are definitely going to recommend and rave over this place til we visit again. Thank you Mattia for an amazing experience!! All waiters should take after you!

LOVE! Fantastic Italian in a great atmosphere. Good service. We had 8, and were given the private room. Very nice. Prices are typical. Bread is fabulous. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. Allow time to find parking. Dress up not required, but upscale so men: no flip flops. Great for date night. Romantic atmosphere but will be noisy. Red wine was spilled on my hubby and they were very good about taking care of us. Kudos to them. Delicious port wine for dessert. Right in the heart of downtown Blue Ridge. You won’t be disappointed
