FERRARO’S RISTORANTE EARNS TOP AWARD FOR ITALIAN FOOD FROM GLOBAL AUTHORITY GAMBERO ROSSO
Ferraro’s One of Eight U.S. Restaurants to Earn Tre Forchette Award
Ferraro’s Ristorante, the fine-dining establishment known for its authentic Italian fare and elegant ambiance, announces it has received the highest award for its culinary program, the “Tre Forchette”—or Three Forks—from Gambero Rosso International, the global authority on Italian wine, food, travel and culture. The award was presented by Gambero Rosso Managing Director Luigi Salerno to owners Gino and Rosalba Ferraro at the Gambero Rosso International’s Tre Bicchieri event in Los Angeles on Feb. 27.
Only 33 restaurants outside of Italy, and just eight U.S. restaurants, have received Gambero Rosso’s highest ranking. Last year, Ferraro’s received Gambero Rosso’s highest “Tre Bottiglie”—Three Bottles—award for its wine list, making it one of only four restaurants worldwide to receive the organization’s top awards for both food and wine.
In its review of the restaurant, Gambero Rosso International wrote:
“The Vitello Tonnato was delightfully cooked, and it is really a must-try as suggested by the menu, and the Nonna’s peperoni ripieni (bell peppers stuffed with ground veal, eggplant, Parmigiano Reggiano and breadcrumbs) reminded us of the South of Italy. As for the beverage, it is worth spending some time on the wine list: from wines by the glass to bottles and big formats, the labels are well selected and range from all over Italy. If you’re a wine lover, you are in for a treat.”
Ferraro’s Ristorante has operated in Las Vegas for nearly four decades, and its dedication to presenting authentic, expertly prepared Italian cuisine remains untarnished. The restaurant’s mix of both classic and imaginative modern Italian dishes, extraordinary wine list, creative cocktails, appealing ambiance and unmatched hospitality distinguish it from its competitors. While celebrity chef-helmed restaurants and dining trends around the city come and go, Ferraro’s has stood the test of time and continues to be a must-visit for culinary experience-seekers from around the world.
“It is an honor to have this prestigious recognition for both our wine list and our food menu from Gambero Rosso International,” said Gino Ferraro. “The entire Ferraro’s family, together with our dedicated team, works every day to deliver the best Italian fine dining experience in the world, so receiving these awards is enormously gratifying for us all!”

This translates to quality and freshness of ingredients, being respectful of cooking single ingredients, cleanliness of flavors, apt combinations and an exquisitely Italian creativity. No Italian would ever dream of revisiting carbonara with heavy cream or overdressing a vegetable that is already very tasty on its own. Important aspects in the evaluation of the venues are also the service and the menu. Great attention is also paid to the wine offer: a true Italian experience cannot exist without having a fine glass of wine, the result of research and passion, on the table.
