Ferraro's Ristorante Las Vegas

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Four Decades of Family and Flavor on Paradise Road

Ferraro's Ristorante has been one of Las Vegas's most steadfast Italian restaurants since 1985, built on time-honored family recipes and a commitment to authentic flavors that has outlasted countless trends on the Strip. While the city around it has reinvented itself many times over, the Ferraro family's approach has remained consistent: traditional Italian cuisine drawn from genuine heritage, paired with world-class wines.

That wine program is no small part of the story. Wine Spectator has recognized Ferraro's with its Best of Award of Excellence for 2025, a distinction that reflects the depth and curation of a cellar serious enough to stand alongside the kitchen. The restaurant runs regular wine events — Taste & Learn evenings and a Wine Walk — that speak to a house culture where the bottle is treated as seriously as the plate.

The Kitchen and the Family Behind It

Chef Francesco Di Caudo, who was awarded Chef of the Year recognition, has been a central figure in the kitchen, giving the restaurant a clear culinary identity rooted in Italian heritage rather than reinvention. The menu draws on traditional preparations passed down through the family, and that continuity is precisely what distinguishes Ferraro's from the celebrity-chef concepts that dominate the Las Vegas dining landscape.

A Full-Service Italian Institution

Beyond the main dining room, Ferraro's extends its reach through private dining and catering, making it a long-standing choice for events in the city. Outdoor seating, a wine bar, and a pre-theatre dining option round out a format that accommodates everything from a quiet dinner to a larger private occasion. For those who want the experience at home, a takeout menu brings the same traditional Italian recipes off-site — as the restaurant puts it, "Italian at home never tasted so good."

The address on Paradise Road keeps Ferraro's accessible without being swallowed by the Strip, and after forty years, that independence feels very much intentional.
