Ferrovia restaurant offers an intimate dining experience in a very small setting, which adds to its charm. The servers are extremely friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you step in. Their warm hospitality enhances the overall atmosphere, creating a welcoming environment that invites you to relax and enjoy your meal. The pasta was truly amazing, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. However, the lamb did not quite live up to the hype; it fell short of the expectations set by its reviews' reputation. Fortunately, the rest of the menu features options that cater to a variety of taste buds, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Ferrovia seems like a delightful spot, and I look forward to trying more dishes in the future.

We came here for my wife's birthday party on a Saturday. We booked it 2 weeks in advance and they had no problem for our group of 14. The service was great, very friendly and I will have to also say SUPER understanding, when two of our group members were late. The food was DELICIOUS, not one person in the group that was not happy with their dish. Four ordered the lamb shank and the only thing left on the plate was the bones. The beef short rib ravioli was also very good. The veal with the side risotto, very tasty. Going back to why the server was so understanding, it seemed that they put a rush on the late comers' order, was out in about 10 minutes. It was a resounding 'Yes', if we should come back for another time.

First time dining in at this restaurant. They have a nice patio and the setting was very cozy inside the restaurant. Lots of great Italian food choices. We were very well taken care of. Our servers were excellent! The prices were reasonable and the food portions were very generous. The food here was absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the Antipasto Platter and Sautéed Black Tiger Shrimps, Herb Crusted Rack Of Lamb and Seafood Linguine. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Truly everything was delicious. The carpaccio used fantastic cuts of beef, with just the right amount of seasoning. The funghi pizza was heavenly and perfectly crisp, not with burnt chunks as is the norm with Italian pizza. Beef short ribs flavourful and tender, and desserts were so rich and flavourful. On top of that, the service was outstanding. Our server was attentive, friendly, and shared with us her own love of the food. 100% the best service I have had at a restaurant in years, and she enhanced the entire experience and made it that much more enjoyable. Worth the visit for sure!

Nice neighborhood Italian place service decent well cooked food (at least the dishes I tried). As other reviews have mentioned, this is a gem hidden in a not so well traveled Richmond Hill area, raccoons probably outnumber the residents. Played it safe and ordered appetizers to share, beef tenderloin carpaccio, grilled calamari, sauteed black tiger shrimp and a funghi truffle pizza. Beef carpaccio was fresh but could have used a little more stronger balsamic oil seasoning Shrimp was sauteed perfectly, firm and springy. Seasoned will Grilled Calamari was tender and flavorful Funghi pizza let me down, dry and flavorless, no truffle flavor whatsoever. I was impressed with the decent food quality verses their price point, their pasta and meat entrees looked pretty good, I'll need to come back, raccoons you better watch out.

Service was immaculate. It was 8pm on a Friday night and busy. No reservation. Food was absolutely amazing. Was visiting the area for an event and will definitely be back when in the area again.

October 21, 2024

We made the reservation of 15 ppl for special gathering dinner at 6pm. The waitress start taking orders at 6:18pm and said there is the time limit until 7:30pm only due to the next reservation. They did not tell us when we make reservation, we will book other place if we knew prior. And they rushed everything to serve and trying to take dishes even we did not finish. We end up had to leave without the dessert and coffee. It is unreasonable and made the worst experience for all of our gathering. When you make the reservation, please ask them if you have time limit.

It was our first time here and it was our Anniversary. The food was excellent. We started off with bread and hummus, a bit odd for an Italian restaurant but it was great. The wife had Ravioli filled with braised beef in a mushroom sauce. I had an 8oz flat iron stake with sweet potato purrey. We ended off sharing desert. I had one drink and we also shared a salad. All came to $111 and change including tax. For two, I think that is reasonable.

This restaurant used to be our favourite Italian restaurant and it was less than 200m away from our house. We went there for my bday dinner in 2022, the mid age male server ignored our request for water a couple times and pretended he didn t see us for many times (we were there around 5pm-6pm on a Wednesday so it wasn t even busy, AT ALL). He was only there and watched us closely when we paid and enter the tips. We never went back to that restaurant for 2 years and now thinking back, I wish I gave him 5% tips only and told him that your service only worths this much to his face. But nvm we ll never be back anyway.

It is great to have such a nice restaurant in the neighbourhood. We love the food, a good option. Not a fan of the deserts,though. As an example Tiramisu is not like Italian tiramisu, and too heavy compared to the original one. I couldnt eat that one and appreciated if they could have deducted that from the bill as any Italian restaurant would do. However, our lovely waitress argued it is an all time big seller, so I did not insist. But, after so many visits to Italy, I know my tiramisu, which is a light desert and does not include any heaviness of the heavy whipping cream.

We ordered the seafood linguini and funghi pappardelle. The sauce of the seafood linguini was a bit too watery so it was having trouble sticking to the bites of the pasta but the flavor was good. I would recommend the pappardelle, it was cooked perfectly. The portions are pretty big so we were too full to try desserts. The restaurant has a very nice cozy vibe. It was the perfect place to meet up with friends to catch up. I wouldn t recommend going in groups larger than 4-6.

First time coming here for lunch. We did make reservations, but theyre not so busy at the time. It was nice, cozy, and a good ambiance. Our server is very nice and very patient, We ordered baby kale salad with chicken, vinegarette Cesar salad, and rigatoni sauage. Portion is decent, and we missed having dessert because we are too full. On our next visit, we will make sure to leave some room for the dessert. In the end, we are so preoccupied and missed taking pictures of our food order. However, we got a glimpse of the place itself, and thats what i have it posted. I cant wait to go back

Our waiter was very nice but clearly a bit flustered due to the 90% capacity it was for Valentines day weekend on February 12th. Slow on providing water and forgot about small things but overall experience was good! We had the short ribs, mixed mushroom risotto, lamb rack and seafood Linguine. Every dish was better than places I have been to before, the Linguines tomato Sause and seafood flavor was really pleasant as it tasted straight from Italy. The risotto was the most standard dish a cream of mushroom with mushy firm rice. Ribs were fall off the bone but had a bit too little salt which caused to be a bit bland and the ribs were a perfect medium which we ordered. The sidedish that came with the lamb was very interested a savory version of tteokbokki! We had to pay an extra $2 per person for bringing a cake but worth it because of the plating and cream/powder they added to each plate. Parking: Parking was spacious since there is a specialty supermarket next to the place

Visited on St. Valentines Day on a friends recommendation. The restaurant is not huge and was pretty full. They didnt have an a la carte menu but a three course meal instead for the occasion. The choices were good and we tried different things to get the taste of as many dishes as possible. I really liked the warm mushroom salad, the seafood linguini, the creme brule and the bread pudding! The tomato soup was ok and so was the red snapper with mango salsa. The fish was a bit on the overdone side which took away from the taste. Prices were around $70 before tax per meal per person, the wine list was ok with prices averaging about $12 per glass.

Visited recently based on a positive review by a family friend. While there was a mixup in the reservation, staff were very kind in accommodating for us. Their menu has a mix of Italian entrées such as pastas, pizzas and traditional Italian dishes. They also offer daily specials which include seafood and steak. The most popular dish was the herb crusted rack of lamb, which was very flavourful and filling on its own without an appetizer. The special was a snow crab and half lobster tail risotto which was good but was a bit pricey given the amount of seafood provided. The Molten Lava Chocolate Cake was served warm with gelato on top. The dessert was shareable as a light dessert. Overall had a decent experience during our visit. Recommended to try their entrées or their daily special dishes. The restaurant is very popular in the neighborhood and reservations are recommended.

Checked out this little gem with my buddy based on Google Reviews and I wish Id discovered this place sooner. Servers had a genuine smile on their faces. Two of us ordered grilled calamari, fungi pizza, seafood linguine, lamb shank, and two alcoholic drinks. Everything was done right, and food was served in a timely manner. I particularly enjoyed the ambiance it offered because of the size of the restaurant. The place was busy but not noisy and I didnt have to raise my voice. Will bring wife here

Been meaning to come here for some time and finally got the chance to see what the hype is all about. The parpardelle was incredible, tiger shrimps were excellent (sorry my son started eating so the picture is missing a couple), dessert were delicious. The only complaint was the risotto. Technique was there because the grains were perfectly cooked. However, all we could taste was salt. Service was warm and friendly. We will definitely come back and probably avoid the risotto next time.

The food was okay but the waitress was awful. When I was in the middle of ordering food and wine, she walked to other table all of the sudden to take their orders. I was shocked by her behavior. So weird and so rude. She even forgot to bring us wine while we were having meal and when I asked her to bring us wine, she just simply said OMG, I forgot. No algology offered. Very unpleasant experience.

service: : servers r young, attractive and energetic, with prompt responses.. not outstanding but comfortable approaches atmosphere::typical italian style warm and crowded with no music in background. Space can be improved. i got pumped two times on my back from the table behind me. wine menu: lack of selection also can be improved but the Pinot Grigio we had was excellent with reasonable pricing. food: we skipped the signature dishes - pappardelle and the pizza this time coz we always have them. selection are wide and they maintain the quality with consistence. mushroom salad and mussels are must try as appetizer. main- braised beef ribs also their signature ( used to beef parpardelle) tasty and tender. lamb shank is a bit gamely but tender not over cooked. a bit more rosemary will be better in my opinion. both dishes can added more roasted veggie in stead of mashed. pasta always good here. the bolognese is average but good amount of beef chunks. carpaccio and the hummus are average; extra olive oil and seasoning would bring the favor out. dessert: never have rooms to try: but will try next time and will add comments 4.5 rating a place i choose to go for gathering and or dating. one of my favorite italian style eats in uptown toronto.

I would highly recommend this restaurant! Seldom does a 7 person party come and all leave with the thought that I had the best dish but that was exactly what happened. There was no bad choice, with selection, atmosphere, and service being top notch! The special of crab stuffed calamari was sublime and the risotto might have been the best I ve had to date. Price may be a barrier to some, but for special occasions or if you have the dime, this is an excellent choice!

We went there to have dinner for a special occasion. Their menu had variety. The atmosphere was packed but the mood was nice. We ordered shank and pasta which came out well, though menu items are pricey now. If its a busy night, make sure to have the servers attention as you may take more time than usual, but other than that they were still friendly.

What an outstanding experience. We went to celebrate my sons birthday. The service and food were exceptional! I had a mushroom pasta dish which was creamy and delicious. My son had the short ribs which were tasty and melted in your mouth. My husband had the veal marsala which was so tender and amazing. It doesnt matter what you order, all the food is carefully prepared and outstanding! Severs are friendly and attentive. Kevin deserves special mention as being in charge and making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. Highly recommended!

Came here after searching for the best rated Italian restaurant nearby for a celebration occasion and glad I stumbled upon Ferrovia. The ambience and atmosphere were pleasant and the service was excellent. I ordered our entrees based on recommendations from reviews. Bruschetta appetizer was good but would probably order something a little more exciting next time. The pappardelle was yummy!! It was creamy and the pasta was al dente. The mushrooms were savoury which added to the sauce. The beef short rib was also a great entree. Super tender. The mashed potato could have been a bit more seasoned but I thought it might be because the main can add saltiness to the potatoes. Overall a very satisfying meal and will return for sure!

Excellent Italian restaurant in Thornhill with a cozy dining room. We tried the bruschetta, short rib ravioli, lamb shank, and pistachio tartufo. The bruschetta baguette was hot and crusty, a perfect vehicle for the tomatoes on top that was well dressed. The short rib ravioli was quite good with a nice amount of chopped short rib. The sauce was a bit heavy and wouldve liked something bright to cut through the cream. Also, the ravioli filling was a bit dry. The lamb shank was fall off the bone tender with a great jus, creamy mash and fresh green beans. The tartufo had aromatic pistachio flavours. Service was friendly. Highly recommend making reservations.

Our friend who frequents Ferrovia invited us here as it s one of her favourite restaurants and now I definitely see why! I loved the cosy Christmas decor and the overall homey feeling, walking in. We ordered the lamb, lobster risotto, their pizza with prosciutto and spicy honey dripping, and short ribs. The short ribs was so moist and it fell apart so easily, it was one of the stars of the dinner. The risotto was tasty with lobster flavours but the lobster tail given was just a little bit on the small side. The spicy honey dripping on the pizza was to die for! We were introduced to the owner Kevin who provided the utmost hospitality to us. It felt very nice and he treated us like we were his family and friends and solely for that fact (and the delicious food), me and my husband will for sure be returning.

My wife and I have been dining here since we got married 20 years ago. Now, our daughters cant get enough of this cozy restaurant. It is our go-to place for all our mini celebrations. The owners changed years ago, but the quality of food is the same. The food is incredible. The rack of lamb is off the charts (mid-rare). Its not on the drink list , but the old fashioned cocktail is amazing. Most patrons are locals from Thornhill, but its worth the detour if youre not.
