Ferrovia - Thornhill

In the northern suburbs, it can be more of a challenge to find worthy restaurant destinations.  Ferrovia has been around this Thornhill area for 15 years or more.  Having been there a few times, what strikes me are the following:  The basic menu has not changed at all.  Of course you will have daily specials and seasonal ones.  Also, the personnel is loyal and I recognized most of them.  That is a good sign in this business.At our table, we mainly went for the reliable staples.  The carpaccio was as fresh as ever.  I always enjoy the grilled calamari prepared to the non-chewy perfection.  The appetizer portion was substantial compared to other places serving a similar dish.  You also have a fresh assortment of greens, mushrooms and tomatoes.For the main dish, I went for one of my natural choices which would be the seafood linguini comprised of mussels, scallops and shrimp.  A fresh tomato sauce formed the base holding it all together.  One person who ordered the same noticed that a few mussels were actually empty shells with no evidence that the edible portion fell into the sauce.  Our helpful server quickly took action to get a few more mussels presented in a separate dish with the same tomato sauce.  That's how it should be.For dessert, I was hoping for some tartuffo.  All desserts such as tirmasu, lava chocolate cake etc. are homemade.  I settled for cappuccino gelato.  I know the guy who makes the gelato, tartuffo etc and he does it the pure and honest way.  Let me know if your restaurant would want to add these high quality desserts to your menu : The restaurant was very busy even for 6:15pm and luckily we had a reservation.  People left but more were coming after we left.  It's a good sign for this establishment.  Perhaps a predictable menu with a helpful reliable waiting staff is all you need to present a very good and tasty variety.

Neutralizes a bad day. A beautiful ITALIAN resto with beautiful ITALIAN food. It matches our need for quality ITALIAN cuisine. Thei veal is the BEST. ITALIANS NEVER FAIL. expensive so take a beautiful ITALIAN woman

The food was delicious, we got lamb shank and rack of lamb. People were very nice, nice area in Thornhill, atmosphere was beautiful and small however it is mostly an older crowd that go there.

Was here awhile ago, had the braised lamb shank. Very tender and moist. Good for uptown quality. Prices are a little high. Worth a try for variety. <br/ <br/ RM
