Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in South Las Vegas

My wife and I reserved a table at Ferraro’s for Valentine’s Day. It was a busy night, but from the valet escorting my wife to the lobby, to our wait service, amd food, it was a perfect dining experience. The lighting was calming, the atmosphere was energetic but we also never felt ignored from the staff. Whether it was refilling our drink, to replacing our plates and utensils for our next course, it all flowed nicely. The quality of the food was evident from the appetizer course, where our Arancini balls were cheesy and flavored with truffle oil. Our salad, the Mimmo was light and flavorful with bits of mozzarella and tomato in a light dressing. We enjoyed the gnocchi pasta which was tender and almost melted on our mouths with a nice pistachio pesto sauce. We opted for the salmon, which had a great texture and sauce that was accompanied by grilled asparagus. Our second meat entree was the airline chicken with a delicious broth and sautéed spinach. The meat was tender and juicy and the skin was nicely charred. Lastly, we finished the meal with a tiramisu dessert that was light and the perfect way to end the night.

Love this place. It was Valentines Day so it was super busy, people waiting out the door. We made reservations and even got there a bit early, but still waited a bit over our reservation time. We waited in the bar, meeting with friends we hadn’t seen in years. Bartenders and drinks were very good, and again super busy. We were seated and we headed to their salad bar. (One reason I love this place!) Then the meats begun! We were in a back(ish) room, filled with many people having a wonderful time. Yes it was noisy but it was expected. The guys with the meat made their rounds. Only complaint, being so busy, all the choices hadn’t made their rounds. I know we could’ve asked for them, but we were good. We then, ordered desserts. Oh my gosh, the coconut pie put me over the top. German chocolate cake. Chocolate cake and another I lost track. All Delicious. Thank you for making our Valentines evening so special!! (We’ll be back!)

Food was amazing and they brought out these garlic bread slices to begin with and the sauce they left for it is what they knocked out of the park with. Four guests at that table not one person complained about food service or anything. It was very busy that night and the food was a few more minutes late than usual. But then here they come with more of those garlic bread slices and that put me at ease real quick. Oh the dessert forget it, once you eat that good night and sweet dreams or shall I say in our situation a very sweet night for the ladies with us. 10 stars my friends.

My colleague and I had breakfast here on our last day in town before going home. He had heard lovely things from other attendees at the conference we were at, and since we already had dinner plans on Wednesday night, we decided to eat here for breakfast. I’m glad we made a reservation, because by the time we left the place was packed. Our waitress was fantastic, she even brought me a glass of ice so I could drink my Diet Coke. (Only Pepsi at this resort). I had one of the crêpes of the day, bananas, foster, drizzled with Nutella. And my colleague also had crêpes of the day, but he selected raspberry and lemon curd.  it is a sizable plate of food, I was amazed that my colleague finished his, I could only get halfway. We also both had a coffee drink, I requested a vanilla latte and he had regular coffee, both were outstanding. And our waitress was the absolute best! If you are in Las Vegas and need a breakfast place, this is absolutely five stars.

One of my favorite spots in Las Vegas, the quality of the menu, food and service is just outstanding. Being located off the strip offers a much better feeling of going somewhere a bit special, and the inventive menu, fantastic dishes and superb service just reinforces the reason to leave your hotel and get to Sparrow + Wolf. I've been here several times now and each time its been fantastic.
