Ferro Bar & Cafe

My daughter lives in Scarborough, I live in the Beaches. So my daughter invites me to a spot on……St. Clair West? Why there? Sunday night, 7pm, I’m expecting an empty little bistro and standard Italian fare. We go in and the place is packed! The atmosphere is electric! Great 90’s hip hop playing, an open kitchen right beside the bar, adding even more energy to the room. There are no tables available yet but our hostess promises she’ll look after us and she does! After having a drink and some delicious garlic bread at the bar, grooving to some De La Soul, we are brought to a table in the front window. Sure, I just order a Pepperoni pizza and my daughter some pasta with shrimp, but the flavours and quality are top notch! The waiting staff are all so friendly and cool at the same time - no attitude! The bill for two was wayyy less than I imagined it would be. They have priced meals fairly, which makes it all the more worthwhile! This is what I need in my life! Thanks to my daughter for introducing me to this place! Bravo!

I’ve been to this restaurant more times than I can count, and every visit impresses me all over again. The food is consistently delicious, with generous portions that never disappoint. I’ve brought so many friends here, and without fail, they leave raving about how amazing it is. If you’re looking for a place with great food, fantastic service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is it. Highly recommended—you won’t be disappointed! P.S. The magic mushrooms are to die for!

Great atmosphere. Staff is awesome. I've has the pizza, pastas, ensalatas and drinks. Love it all. The last time there I had the meatloaf special with mash, gravy and greens and it was deadly! Come. Enjoy this great neighborhood resto/bar

Food was really good. Margherita pizza was amazing. The lobster spaghetti special was delicious as was the rib eye. Best tiramisu we've tried also!

Dined mid day on a Saturday. Service staff were all friendly, and professional. Once we ordered food it took some time, even though the restaurant was quiet at 3pm. All the food was phenomenal, better then most Italian restaurants. One exception: the calamari which had to be sent back due to it being over cooked and rubbery. A small slip up sadly. The staff was quick to recover. At the price, this place is affordable for the quality of food. Overall I will be giving this another chance as the food and service tip the scales over the slips ups. Few corrections and Ferro bar will crush the competition. Constructive feedback: The restaurant has a cool aesthetic, but the thing it was missing was some music to brighten up the vibe a bit in the lull between the lunch and dinner rush. Dining in dead silence is a bit odd. Also, The men's bathroom needed a freshen up as well.

Ferro made for such a fun night out! The vibe was laid-back yet buzzing with energy, perfect for hanging out with friends or a casual date. We ordered the lobster pizza and pasta, and they were both amazing—full of flavor and the perfect portions to leave us feeling satisfied. Plus, they offer all kinds of chili and spice options, which made everything even better. And shoutout to our server, Anita, who was super pleasant and really made the night with her excellent service. Definitely a spot to keep coming back to!

We have been dying to come here for over a year because of their Instagram and reviews from friends. I really wanted the lasagna but we found out that they don’t start serving it until after 3 or 4pm. I was disappointed at first but we will have to try and come back another time. Everything we ordered was great, I cleaned off my plate of bolognese and the servers were very nice. I really hope we get a chance to come back and try the lasagna but I’m pretty sure you can order anything here and it will be good. Thanks!

Smashing IT! I've been going to Ferro's since the 90s. Tonight, I decided to have dinner at Ferro's since the last time I paid this place a visit was during the lockdown and ordered one of their amazing pizza's to go, and I am so glad that I did. I ordered the meatball with pasta, Caesar salad, then for dessert Tiramisu and coffee. The meatballs were so amazing. The Caesar salad authentically made, and the Tiramisu was perfect! Had the pizza many times as well at Ferro's, and it was amazing as well. Love the staff. From the waitstaff to the cooks to the bartenders! I know the original owner from the old high school gang. Frank always had a flare for good taste and cultivated a sense of home when experiencing one's visits to his restaurants. This is a place where it's not just about great food it's also about family. Great energy and great vibes! Expect to spend a few hours here when you visit because it feels like home.
