Full Menu Offered Until 2 a.m. Every Night of the Week 

 


 

LAS VEGAS (April 2013) – For those who can’t pull themselves away from the tables until midnight or who don’t have time to catch dinner before a show, Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar offers a delectable option for late-night fine dining: the Mezzanotte experience. The restaurant, which presents an authentic Italian culinary experience in an elegant, family-run atmosphere, serves its full dinner menu every night until 2 a.m. From 11 p.m. until 2 a.m., guests receive 50 percent off all food items and 25 percent off of drinks.

 

 

 

Italian for “Midnight,” Mezzanotte (MEHTS-tsah-NOHT-the) will entice late-night diners with Ferraro’s signature family-recipe meatballs, house-made sausages, legendary osso buco, light gnocchi, savory risottos, perfectly prepared all-natural meats, Safe Harbor® seafood and freshly made pastas and sauces. In addition, Chef Mimmo Ferraro, the second generation of the Ferraro family to helm the bustling kitchen, has enhanced the classic menu with contemporary dishes inspired by authentic Italian tradition. Guests love dishes such as Pappardelle Mimmo—served with scallops, lobster, asparagus, butter, sage and truffle oil—as well as his willingness to accommodate virtually any special dietary request.

 

 

 

To accompany the restaurant’s cuisine, wine connoisseurs will delight in Ferraro’s 12,000-bottle wine collection emphasizing Italian wines selected especially to complement the menu.  Its wine list features 18 wines by the glass, several half-bottle and large-format selections, as well as an additional tasting list including more than one dozen rare labels available in one-, three- and five-ounce pours. While Ferraro’s wine selection places special emphasis on presenting a broad and deep range of Italian wines, it also includes an extensive selection of wines from California and France. Ferraro’s has been recognized with Wine Spectator’s “Best of Award of Excellence” and the Wine Enthusiast award.
