FERRARO'S OF WESTFIELD

Ferraro’s has been a staple of the Westfield community for more than 35 years. With the simple philosophy of “fresh is best,” Ferraro’s has become a local landmark. By crafting dishes like sausage lasagna and cannelloni, Anna Ferraro has been pleasing patrons since the doors opened. Over the years, Ferraro’s has expanded the menu and the dining space, but the emphasis has been on making the best dishes possible. With the addition of Guiseppe Di Pietro as executive chef, they’ve gone well beyond the scope of traditional Italian cuisine. There is the “family place,” a room designed for family dining, and a casually elegant dining room. Some of the signature dishes include linguine “mala femmina” — a combination of lobster tail, shrimp, clams and olives in a white sauce — and linguine “mar chiaro” — shrimp and clams sautéed in marinara over linguini. They have created a section of healthy choices to guide diners to some of the lighter options on the menu. There is something for everyone. The combination of Guiseppe and Anna in the kitchen give Ferraro’s the perfect pairing of traditional and contemporary cuisine. From their family to yours, they would like to invite you to dine with them and discover the tastes of Italy.
