Ferrari's Little Italy & Bakery is located in the heart of Madeira, across from Madeira Kroger. Ferrari's is an authentic Italian Restaurant featuring Northern & Southern fare with excellent value & generous portions. Ferrari's has been operating for over twenty years and is family owned and operated by the Bassano family. The restaurant has two private dining rooms available for private parties, rehearsal dinners, corporate meetings, or family gatherings. We also have an outside patio dining area that is beautifully landscaped with an Italian mural and a stone lighted waterfall. Ferrari's offers full service dining, carry-out, and catering, with an on-premise Italian bakery and Italian grocery.

At Ferrari's we feature family style dining. Our portions are large enough to share, they often border on the surreal. We invite you to enjoy the vera cucina piccola italia, the true cooking of Little Italy.

Please be aware: We are open for Easter Sunday!

We’ve been going here for about 6 years and enjoyed it. After our most recent visit not sure we’ll be back. Portions seem smaller, food not as good and just not made the way it used to be but prices are the same or higher. Meal for 2- no drinks (water) appetizer, two meals, dessert and mocha and was $80 (not counting til). Disappointed. It used to be a favorite of ours.

Several years ago, we had tried the restaurant twice and the experience hadn't been the best. So, we hadn't eaten in the restaurant for a number of years. We all love Italian food, and decided to give it a try. Very glad we did. This time, we had a wonderful experience. We took a friend and had a lovely dinner and visit. Will definitely return.

Service very slow especially to get our drinks. Willing to overlook that since it was quite crowded and our server was doing her best. Actually I think it would have been nice to give us complimentary drinks since she had to apologize repeatedly that the bar was backed up. But we always love Ferrari’s!

We arrived about 5-5:30 and were seated. The Resturaunt was somewhat empty. We ordered our salad and it came out incorrect. Our server was the hostess and she had to serve and seat the incoming customers. Needless to say our food took and hour and we asked for it to go. Not a good foodie evening at Little Italy.
