Reviews for Ferrante's Restaurant & Signature Catering in Mequon, WI

I have dined here twice now and I really enjoy the local and friendly vibe of this restaurant. The owner is on site, hands on... and making sure that patrons have a great time. Many seem to be from the neighborhood which is a great local community feel.With so many trendy restaurants that don't end up doing anything well, this restaurant does many things well. While you waitfor your table, you can sit at the bar and have a great drink and again absorb the nice local feel. I have gone for thetraditional old fashioned twice now. The dining room is nice with enough spacing between the tables. The menu has many choicesfrom pizza to classic Italian dishes. Your dinner starts out with a dinner salad and nice crusty bread. I have had the shrimpscampi, a nice sized garlicky and tasty portion. I also had the chicken marsala which was tasty and not overly salted as insome restaurants; instead it had a nice marsala taste. They are known for broasted chicken which is a rarety these days so Ihave yet to try it along with the pizza that I heard was also great. Looking forward to more experiences at this restaurant.

Service was a little slow but the food was fantastic. Nice family restaurant with very good eats. Would like to go back for... pizza after tasting their awesome perfectly done risotto specials. Priced very reasonably. Read more

Friendly and efficient staff, food was delicious, and it wasn?t too crowded. Overall, a wonderful meal.

Been coming here for over a decade. It was nice to dine at again. The only reason for the four stars was that the fish fry perch... was very dry and tough. I think it was very overcooked. Read more

My son ordered the broasted chicken, which came with a piece of breast that was still completely pink, cold, and raw in the... middle. Fortunately he discovered this by using a fork and knife for his first bite, and did not get it into his mouth. Theexterior appearance was well browned and crispy, giving all indication of being well cooked. It was a rather large breasthowever, and perhaps had not been fully thawed. The server apologized of course, and took it back to the kitchen. She thenoffered to get him something else, we thought implying there perhaps was a problem with the chicken that prevented a re-order ofit. So my son ordered the baked penne that my wife was enjoying. About 10 minutes later we noticed an order of the broastedchicken going to another table. It appeared a bit darker in color than the order we had received. I asked our server why shedidn't offer a new order of chicken for my son, and she said she didn't think he would want it after his initial experience,which was an incorrect assumption. So instead he had to wait an additional 15 minutes for something he really did not end upliking. My mother-in-law and I also did not care much for the lasagna, and neither of us finished it. My father-in-law enjoyedhis Chicken Picatta, and all of us liked our dinner salads. The table bread was good, but it seemed a bit out of place as asourdough recipe with Italian cuisine. Two of our party also ordered the chocolate fudge cake for dessert, which was good.After receiving the dessert, the hostess let us know it would be on the house. All in all, if I were to go back again, I wouldprobably order the pizza, as it looked quite good when being served to others. Otherwise, I would not have a desire to return. Read more

Ordered a pizza to carry out. I arrived on time to pick up my pizza. It was cold, undercooked. And flavorless. Little to no... sauce, sausage had no flavor, chopped onions looked like they were put on as an afterthought and were raw. Tasted like aprecooked pizza that did not spend enough time cooking in a pizza oven. Only good thing was they didn?t skimp on cheese Read more

Can not say enough about this place ?????? It felt like home, the people were so friendly, many regulars. The bartender has been... working there 40 years (Im sure thats what he said) but anyways a long time and he was fantastic! The garlic bread is so good!The pasta coulda used more flavor but still good. I will be back before I leave ! Read more

Pretty good italian american offerings for great prices. We got the 5 men in a boat appetizer (5 meatballs in sauce, they forgot... the bread though) then chicken parm & shrimp scampi. They offer a great and friendly curbside service as well. For under $45 wehad a complete dinner for two with enough leftovers for both of us to have a 2nd meal today. Will definitely order again asMilwaukee is lacking in italian options at decent prices. Read more
