Las
Vegas' longest running, family-owned and operated Italian restaurant, Ferraro’s
Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar, introduces the LOCALS TOO program, created
especially for Nevada residents.
Locals
who dine at Ferraro’s can tell their server they’d like to join LOCALS TOO.
Then, after providing an email address and valid Nevada identification, they
will receive their LOCALS TOO card as well as exclusive news and offers from
Ferraro’s delivered right to their inboxes. These special perks might include
new menu information, wine tastings or other locals-only values.
Right
now, locals can receive 25 percent off their entire check when ordering from
the dinner menu (food and beverage included; may not be combined with other
offers).
“We
will always have special offers for locals and having this card ensures they
will receive them,” explains Gino Ferraro, owner, Ferraro’s. “Why do we like to
treat our local customers to extra perks? Because we’re locals, too!”
Gino
and his wife Rosalba moved to the United States from Italy more than 40 years
ago. They’ve been Las Vegas residents since 1976, when they moved here from
Syracuse, N.Y., to open several cafés in the gaming and entertainment city.
Quickly realizing Las Vegas wasn’t ready for the café concept, Gino found work
at casinos until 1983, when he started Italfoods, a wholesale business
purveying Italian specialty products to area restaurants. Gino’s passion and
nostalgia for his homeland, combined with his entrepreneurial spirit, motivated
him to be the first company to introduce Italian staples such as Barilla pasta,
fine olive oils, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and prosciutto to the Las Vegas
culinary market.
In
1985, Gino debuted Ferraro’s as a deli and pizzeria at Sahara Avenue and Jones
Boulevard. With just six tables and with Gino working the kitchen as chef, the
establishment’s popularity flourished almost immediately, resulting in the need
to add more tables. In 1992, Ferraro’s moved to a location on West Flamingo
Road, began its fine-dining service and launched what would become its renowned
wine collection.
Gino
envisioned Ferraro’s as a way to bring the experience of authentic Italian fine
dining to Las Vegas. Family-recipe meatballs, house-made sausages, legendary
Osso Buco, light gnocchi, savory risottos, perfectly prepared all natural
meats, Safe Harbor® seafood and—most importantly—freshly made pastas and sauces
provide the foundation of Ferraro’s lunch, dinner and late-night menus. Ferraro’s
Restaurant and Wine Bar has occupied its current location on Paradise Road
since December 2009. Gino has turned over executive chef responsibilities to
his son, Mimmo, but he and Rosalba are at the restaurant almost daily welcoming
guests, hosting meals with friends and business associates and generally
perpetuating the signature Ferraro’s gracious family atmosphere.
Gino’s
love for sharing authentic Italian cuisine with his customers is matched by his
passion for wine. Gino is a certified sommelier and currently studying Italian
wines with the North American Sommelier Association. Ferraro’s collection of
more than 12,000 bottles places special emphasis on Italian wines and Gino
himself has visited Italian wine country at least 50 times, visiting more than
1,000 wine cellars and producers. In turn, many of these vintners have traveled
to Las Vegas to visit Gino and Rosalba at Ferraro’s http://www.ferraroslasvegas.com/
