Review Ferrovia Ristorante - Thornhill

One of the best Italian restaurants I have been too! They have the best warm banana bread pudding. It is a must try! I also recommend trying the slow braised beef short rib and slow braised lamb shank. Both of them are super soft and fall off the bone. The service was also great. Restaurant was clean. Most importantly, food tasted amazing. I highly recommend trying and will definitely come back again.

This is the second time we come over here. All dishes are very tasty. The slow cook biased rib is so good. The daily special scallop risotto is worth mentioning. The scallop is cooked so well with the right timing. Next time we would like to try their desserts! Great dishes!

Absolutely delicious!!! My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday night, to our surprise it wasn't that busy. However my bf did Mention it's usually booked up or full cause it's small. Food is a solid 5/5. Everything we ordered was soooo delicious. To recap, I got the beef tenderloin tartar, full rack of Lamb, and braised beef. Each and every dish was mouth watering and it was Soo good. Usually lamb has a gamey taste however, nope not here!! I absolutely loved it here. It would definitely be a staple in my go to places for Italian cravings.

Excellent service, the hot blonde waitress does an amazing job, her professionalism and personality so enjoyable ✅ The food is excellent especially the butternut squash soup and Tiramisu wow the best I have ever had. Try this restaurant it’s excellent ✅👍 Mark 😀

Ferrovia never disappoints, the attention to detail and the flavour combinations are phenomenal. We enjoyed a lovely evening with our parents, exploring some of the many dishes Ferrovia offers. John and his team are pure class, delivering a first class fining experience with a local feel. The even ending with a gorgeous sunset, doesn't get much better then this!

I have dined at Ferrovia Ristorante a handful of times for dinner. Each time my experience has been nothing but great! Staff is always pleasant and attentive. The manager always makes you feel at home and is just as engaged and attentive as the other staff. I have ordered and tried many things off the menu; every time the food has been beyond satisfying. The food never disappoints! Be sure to ask for their nightly specials. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone for any occasion.

Ordered take out; lamb and soup. Food quality was top notch. Timing was perfect. Restaurant has a nice look too.

Mmm, it's been quite a while since I've eaten at Ferrovia. Their food is so darn delicious and I'm never disappointed! On this visit, my friend had Shrimps to start and I had a delicious Warm Mushroom Salad. Our main course was Lamb Chops and Short Ribs. Both were tender and full of flavour. I was actually impressed with how tender the short ribs were without falling apart. Delicious! For dessert, we both had Pistachio Crusted Tartufo. It was a good finish to a great meal! The service, as always, was impeccable!

In the northern suburbs, it can be more of a challenge to find worthy restaurant destinations.  Ferrovia has been around this Thornhill area for 15 years or more.  Having been there a few times, what strikes me are the following:  The basic menu has not changed at all.  Of course you will have daily specials and seasonal ones.  Also, the personnel is loyal and I recognized most of them.  That is a good sign in this business.<br/>At our table, we mainly went for the reliable staples.  The carpaccio was as fresh as ever.  I always enjoy the grilled calamari prepared to the non-chewy perfection.  The appetizer portion was substantial compared to other places serving a similar dish.  You also have a fresh assortment of greens, mushrooms and tomatoes.<br/>For the main dish, I went for one of my natural choices which would be the seafood linguini comprised of mussels, scallops and shrimp.  A fresh tomato sauce formed the base holding it all together.  One person who ordered the same noticed that a few mussels were actually empty shells with no evidence that the edible portion fell into the sauce.  Our helpful server quickly took action to get a few more mussels presented in a separate dish with the same tomato sauce.  That's how it should be.<br/>For dessert, I was hoping for some tartuffo.  All desserts such as tirmasu, lava chocolate cake etc. are homemade.  I settled for cappuccino gelato.  I know the guy who makes the gelato, tartuffo etc and he does it the pure and honest way.  Let me know if your restaurant would want to add these high quality desserts to your menu :)<br/>The restaurant was very busy even for 6:15pm and luckily we had a reservation.  People left but more were coming after we left.  It's a good sign for this establishment.  Perhaps a predictable menu with a helpful reliable waiting staff is all you need to present a very good and tasty variety.

The food was delicious, we got lamb shank and rack of lamb. People were very nice, nice area in Thornhill, atmosphere was beautiful and small however it is mostly an older crowd that go there.

Was here awhile ago, had the braised lamb shank. Very tender and moist. Good for uptown quality. Prices are a little high. Worth a try for variety. <br/><br/>RM

I never have any luck with this place. I brought my son to have a celebration for his school acheivement award . It run late, so I arrived at 9 pm. Door was wide open, host was playing with his phone and did not even see me standing at the door . I have to go inside and told him I need a table for 3. He told me business is slow and the kitchen is closed. I turned my back and leave, he asked do I want a card? I said "no thanks" Good luck Ferrovia, u should be the one that go out of business rather than "Sha Boom" Mediterranean cuisine.

Hands down the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The food is mediocre at best. Complete and utter disappointment. Better off at home with a bottle of Ragu and store bought pasta. <br/>I can't believe this experience. It was the worst!!! Beware !!

Poor service. Service has progressively gotten worse over the last couple of visits. Food isn't bad but wouldn't recommend this place if you're going for a special occasion. Spotty service. This time we went for a birthday dinner and the service was incredibly slow. To top it off, it took over 30 minutes before our dessert was served. Another 10 minutes to speak to a manager to complain. Asian manager/owner did nothing but make it seem like it should be 'okay' since it was busy (even though there was really only 5 tables left by then).

I had the Seafood Linguine, it was okay, however the mussels tasted old :/ I expected more from this restaurant and was dissatisfied.

I love tonight's special dish, sea bass...<br/>Fish quality is great and it is cooked perfectly. Thanks.

A really traditional family restaurant with great services. Saw this restaurant on urban spoon app and decided to go here with gf for our anniversary. We order steamed PEI mussels for appetizer and the veal picata and it tasted great! My gf isn't a great fan of tomatoes, but she loved the spicy tomatoes sauce on the mussels. We had to ask for more bread to dip the sauce with. Overall a very nice environment and great food!

Neutralizes a bad day. A beautiful ITALIAN resto with beautiful ITALIAN food. It matches our need for quality ITALIAN cuisine. Thei veal is the BEST. ITALIANS NEVER FAIL. expensive so take a beautiful ITALIAN woman

Fantasic Ferrovia. I've been coming to this restaurant since 2005. On the recommendation of my future brother in law and wife, I went with my then fiance and have been going back there since. They have gorgeous decor, service is efficient and friendly. Food is awesome, I have never had any comlaint. Brought friends, colleagues and family members. Try the Fixed Prix Menu that is offered on Sunday and Monday evenings! Delightful!

WOW. My first time at ferrovia and let me tell you that it's the best italian restaurant north of bloor st. WE WILL BE BACK.

So good! both the food and service was great. I highly recommend it!

Ferrovia hosts a prix fixe menu on Sunday and Monday nights during dinner. ... It really was a great deal to get three courses of food for the one of what a regular entrée usually costs ($23.95). For this reason, I ended up splurging a bit and ordered a martini as well.

For my main, I had the Risotto with Zucchini and Asparagus because it had two of my favorite vegetables. You’ll notice that most risotto dishes are vegetarian. Considering that it’s a pasta rice dish and it’s simmered in a cream sauce. Adding meat to it would be too heavy. Even though the rice is cooked perfectly and seasoned great, I always struggle to finish it at the end because it’s just too heavy but so good!

Nelson @ Richmond Hill: This Italian restaurant is hidden in a supermarket strip mall which is too bad because it's pretty good. I had the prix-Fixe menu ($23.95) which started withe the Ferrovia Caesar, romaine hearts, crispy pancetta, Parmigiano & herb croutons and a grainy mustard and roast garlic dressing. The cheese was really salty, but I appreciated the conservative amount of dressing used as a Caesar salad drowning in dressing is a big pet peeve of mine. The crusty bread service with spread was so good that we had to get extra portions. Nice to see such a nice spread come with the meal. Someone also ordered a bruschetta pizza, which I tried as well. I had the slow braised lamb shank with a herb pan jus with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The lamb was extremely tender and did not taste gamey at all. The potatoes and veggies went well with this dish as they soaked up the delicious sauce quite well. For dessert I tried the warm banana bread pudding which I finished
