In my rush to give five stars I left out some important details. The entire family makes you feel like you're coming back to your family home for a beautiful meal. You feel as if you haven't left, whether it's two days or two years. Anthony remembers. RIP Joseph Anthony Pompei - Ferrari's is his favorite restaurant of all time.

4 of us attended on a Wednesday night during restaurant week. They were busy but seemed to be keeping everyone happy. They brought out homemade bread and a family style anti pasta-like salad. That was so good and appreciated. My son had the restaurant week special, which included a deep fried rice ball with a meatball in the middle. Served with a red sauce, it was tasty. Entrees were all good. Great service. They brought out desserts at the end and sang happy birthday to my son. Just a nice dinner in a very well established Italian family restaurant.

I had these on different days because my niece loves coming here and we try different dishes. As you can see from the pictures, they have really large servings, enough for two to three people in one order! Prices are reasonable and the service is great. I recommend everyone to try their chicken or veal parm

Vacationing in Schenectady, NY and chose to go to Ferrari’s Italian Ristorante after reading the reviews. Made a reservation to make it convenient for us. Street parking only, we walked in and you enter into the bar area. Hostess table at entrance to dining area. Nice gentlemen took us to our table in the main dining room, table clothes and napkins, I appreciate that. Very nice young woman approached us and took our beverage order and brought us a basket of bread and butter. We ordered Calamari for an appetizer and it was brought to us with marinara sauce, the portion was very generous and it was cooked perfectly, tender and delicious with the dipping sauce, yum! Our salads came next , the Italian dressing was very tasty and the lettuce and veggies were chilled and fresh. Our dinners arrived in a timely fashion piping hot from the kitchen. I ordered Chicken Franchise, again, a generous portion of chicken cooked perfectly tender with a lemon butter sauce and a side of spaghetti with a very tasty tomato sauce, it was a delicious dinner. Husband ordered Veal Melanzano, Parmesan style with eggplant and mozzarella cheese and sauce, it was a huge portion plus the spaghetti, hub loved it!! Our waitress took great care of us, she boxed our leftovers for us in microwaveable containers, plus the leftover bread and butter. They have a large dessert selection but we were too stuffed. Prices were very reasonable considering what they gave you. Old fashioned Italian restaurant in an old neighborhood, very well maintained, we truly enjoyed our dining experience, come give Ferrari’s a try, highly recommend!! Debbie, Mich

An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Ferrari's Ristorante Our visit to Ferrari's Ristorante in Schenectady was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the host and promptly shown to a cozy table. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. Our server took the time to let us peruse the menu without any rush and helped make our dining experience smooth and enjoyable. For appetizers, we started with the Fried Calamari, which was paired perfectly with an authentic marinara sauce. We also tried the Shrimp Vesuvio, and it was absolutely phenomenal—bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. For our entrees, my wife and I both chose the Chicken Melenzano, a delightful dish combining chicken parmigiana, eggplant, and a rich red sauce. Adding homemade fettuccine with even more of their incredible red sauce elevated the meal to the next level. The entrees also came with a crisp, fresh salad topped with an authentic Italian dressing that tied it all together. A bottle of Tuscan wine rounded out the meal beautifully, pairing perfectly with the red sauce, chicken, and eggplant. Dessert was another highlight of the evening. We ordered the Tiramisu, my wife's favorite, and it was hands down the best we've ever had. The recipe was incredibly authentic, and Ferrari's attention to detail truly shone through. While chatting with some friendly locals, we were enthusiastically told to return and try the cream puffs, which we can't wait to do on our next visit! Overall, this dining experience exceeded every expectation we had. From the warm service to the outstanding food, Ferrari's Ristorante is a gem worth the drive—even though we live an hour away. We’ll absolutely be returning for another memorable meal! P.S. Don't forget to try an true Italian Coffee on your next visit!

My Mom, who is visiting from TN, and I went for an early dinner. We ordered a cold antipasti to split and it was yummy! I ordered the Chicken Marsala with linguine. Flavor was spot on but the Marsala sauce had a strange color and I think the mushrooms were from a can. Again, the flavor was very good and the chicken fell apart. The red sauce was good gravy. My Mom ordered the Shrimp Scampi over linguine. She said it was delicious!! We ordered a take out Veal Parmigiana for BF with a side of capellini. BF said the red sauce was delicious tonight. Bread basket was addictive and service was great!! The place was packed by the time we left. We didn’t have dessert. We left with enough leftovers for several meals. Great time with my Mom!

Italian home fries are out of this world. I am SO picky with chicken as quality seems to be lacking at no fault of restaurants - usually just supply issue but I’ve NEVER had a bad experience with any dish at Ferraris It’s a toss up between the chicken parm vs garlic chicken for me. Both so good. And the staff is always a family vibe, they’re all amazing!

I truly believe that Consistency is key to Ferrari’s success. You can rely on having an amazing meal, with incredible service by a dedicated staff in a comfortable environment. I love the large portions because leftovers Easy meals at home and pasta is always even better the second day
