As I walked up to the restaurant, a singer was playing a guitar and entertaining on the great outdoor patio. Lots of locals were enjoying the music while sipping cocktails outside. Very charming. Walking inside everyone was very helpful and friendly but also professional. The first thing you see is the beautiful antipasti selection of grilled vegetables, meat and seafood displayed for your perusal. It reminded me of the restaurants in Milan. This is not a serve yourself buffet salad bar.....no, no, no! Instead you tell your waiter what you want and he/she will bring it to your table. I ordered a selection of the evenings antipasti and the waiter put it together for me. It was fabulous! The atmosphere is upscale....even luxurious. The entrees were equally as good as the antipasti, and reasonably priced. People seated near to us had something prepared for them that was flamed at the table. Very spectacular..wish I knew what they had! No room for dessert on this trip. Ferrari's, although relatively new on the restaurant scene, did a great job in making us happy with our dining experience. An authentic Italian dining experience but unlike in Italy, there is no charge for your seat and table, the restrooms are not co-ed, and they will not get angry if you ask for a doggy bag! What a great addition to the Grapevine (or for that matter Dallas) dining experience.
Pros: Authentic Italian food, Romantic atmosphere, attentive Staff, Reasonably priced
Cons: a little hidden, but worth looking for, not good for kids (a Pro for me)
