This yearly holiday we have decided to give our staff the evening with their families. BUT, on Friday, October 30th, we will be celebrating fall and will have spooky Italian dishes and a staff that has changed personalities replete with attire.... we would love to see your act too- dress up and perhaps there will be a surprise for the best! ***all social distancing, sanitation/disinfecting, and mask-wearing is in force! (Reservations highly recommended!)
We have a revised menu.
We are sourcing a lot of our products locally as well as using herbs and spices and vegetables in-house.
We have taken the last couple of months to make a lot of visual improvements in the restaurant as well as some creative changes to our menu. We are truly excited to operate with full strength and commitment and bring on the good share of this summer season.
We are here for you. Use our new Open Table feature for reservations to the restaurant. We are very proud to be part of the Ferndale community.
