Las Vegas is no stranger to culinary legends, but few restaurants can claim the staying power and global recognition of Ferraro’s Ristorante. This November, the beloved Italian institution marks its 40th anniversary, celebrating four decades of family tradition, authentic cuisine, and a reputation that extends far beyond the desert city.
From Six Tables to Global Acclaim
Ferraro’s story began in 1985 as a modest six-table deli and pizzeria. Over the years, it transformed into one of the most respected Italian restaurants in the United States and, increasingly, on the world stage.
The accolades speak for themselves. Gambero Rosso, the Italian authority on food, wine, and culture, has consistently recognized Ferraro’s. In 2023, the restaurant received the Tre Bottiglie (Three Bottles) award, honoring its world-class wine list. In 2024, Ferraro’s was awarded the Tre Forchette (Three Forks), making it one of only eight U.S. restaurants with the highest rating for authentic Italian cuisine. In 2025, Ferraro’s was included once again in Gambero Rosso’s Top Italian Restaurants Guide.
Pair these distinctions with a wine cellar of more than 1,800 labels and 22,000 bottles, handcrafted pastas, and premium ingredients, and it’s clear why Ferraro’s continues to draw both devoted locals and food-savvy travelers.
A Family Legacy
“Forty years is a milestone not just for our family, but for everyone who has shared a meal with us over the years,” says executive chef Mimmo Ferraro. “My father started Ferraro’s with a passion for great food and true hospitality, and I’m proud to carry that tradition forward.”
The Ferraro family
What started with a handful of tables has grown into a dining room that employs 110 people and gives back more than $30,000 annually to local schools and charities. It remains a family-owned business rooted in community while celebrated worldwide.
Anniversary Specials in November
Ferraro’s is celebrating with offers that honor both tradition and taste.
On Friday, Nov. 7, diners can enjoy classic lunch entrées such as eggplant parmigiana, spaghetti and meatballs, or lasagna for $4.99 each. These throwback prices are dine-in only, while supplies last, and limited to one discounted entrée per guest, per reservation.
