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.

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 Sauteed Black Tiger Shrimps, Herb Crusted Rack Of Lamb and Seafood Linguine. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Food was great! Seasoned well and the slid was fresh. They gave me a cake and candle for my birthday, too cute!! Service was amazing. Our hostess was polite and friendly and she checked in on us often. Atmosphere was great, we went at lunch time and no one else was there! Two females came after but the music was good and the place was very clean. Definitely going again! Thank you!!

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.

Checked out this little gem with my buddy based on Google Reviews and I wish I'd 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 didn't have to raise my voice. Will bring wife here Apr 2025 UPDATE: tried the Seafood Risotto and it was awesome. Seafood was chopped up and perfectly mixed with the risotto, which was cooked just right in terms of its moistness. It has a comfort food feel.

Thornhill’s iconic neighbourhood hidden gem, still going strong after 3 plus decades! With my foodie brother-in-law as company. Tonight, I paid this time-honored, local Italian Trattoria favorite, a long overdue revisit. We were surprised to notice some well-loved house specialties are still present in the current menu after all these years! These included the nicely charred, ‘packed with appealing wok-hay aroma‘ grilled Calamari with Olives and Cherry Tomatoes, the fork tender, gorgeously caramelized, deeply flavorful braised Lamb Shank and a seldom found ‘Banana Bread Pudding‘ dessert. Churning out masterfully prepared offerings that feature mesmerizingly delicious taste profiles, the skilled and deep-rooted kitchen team did not miss a beat in their execution! Extra dishes like the Steamed Mussels with olives and spicy tomato sauce, and a perfectly pink, Roasted Rack of Lamb with butter tossed Gnocchi were added to augment the main core dishes. These additions were also superbly presented and delightfully delicious. Furthermore, we received unparalleled and exemplary service from our super friendly, professional and attentive lady server - Zoey, which rounded up a near perfect dining experience Overall, a nice, cozy and intimate venue featuring some well prepared, tasty and casual fare served by amiable staff! Perfect total package for a relaxing night-out with good company!

Ferrovia blew my expectations out of the water! The mushroom salad came out quickly and was delicious, the half chicken was crispy, yet so juicy and full of flavour, and the banana bread pudding was a perfect way to end the meal! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and overall it was a great way to spend an evening. For good reason, it seemed that most of the other customers were regulars when I went! Ferrovia is a MUST TRY for anyone in the Toronto area.

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Fantastic food, sat on the patio, Ryan our waiter was awesome and gave great recommendations. Loved everything we ordered- grilled calamari, chicken piccata, caprese salad, lamb shanks & banana bread pudding. Will be back!
