I've lived here for 8 years and have never heard of this place.

That's a shite ton of reviews though. Maybe I don't get out much.

We had dinner with some friends while visiting DFW and this place sucked hard. The manager was proud and our friends were proud but wife (nudes on reddit) and I hated it. Have you ever actually told someone their favorite place blows?


What if your friends just wanted to be with you and your wife for your company? It seems like you are more focused on the food than the actual visit and the time spent with them.

Food is food at the end of the day. Some can be good, some can be not so good.

Ferrari’s in Grapevine.


I've been to this place a couple of times for work meetings. It was fine and edible the times that I went.

I personally prefer Bob's Steak & Chop House right down the road.

Crappy Restaurant with Fake Friends Board.

Were you wearing a Ford T-Shirt by any chance? If so that would explain it.

But as a practical matter, my true friends and us would discuss what we liked or didn’t like. I hate a couple of places that my friends love and vice versa. But our restaurant preference is not directly proportional to our level of friendship. Now if it’s just a casual acquaintance/ co-worker / neighbor situation, just politely decline any subsequent invitation or say “oh darn we’d love too but we’ve already made reservations at Applebee’s (or whatever) would yall like to join us there?” They’ll say no and yall don’t have to deal with that shite again.

But just don’t wear your Ford T-Shirt next time.

I think you’re confusing me with a DFW socialite clown that eats at places called Ferrari’s

We weren’t huge fans of Ferrari’s either. It was ok but there’s so many better places to eat. It didn’t suck but we won’t go back.

Review - . I was highly disappointed we had a reservation. We waited 10 minutes just for water, over 25 minutes for our steaks. I wasted $50.00 on a cowboy bone n ribeye! My steak was small and full of fat, tough, over cooked (requested medium) received well done, no flavor, salt or pepper, just bland piece of $50.00 tough meat and fat. I asked for double potatoes (didn't get them, single serve) so hard couldn't cut them.
My husband ordered well done steak, received medium. We waited so long for the food just to be let down. We were able to eat a little and take the rest to go but it's not worth eating.

It’s rare to find a really stellar high-end restaurant out in the burbs. Especially for steaks.

There are some exceptions but a place called “Ferrari’s” in Grapevine probably isn’t one.

Eh, seems a bit put on but that may be the name of the people who own or at least opened the place.

Totally random (well, near-random because the name is similar) memory. My ex and I were in Washington, PA, a suburb of Pittsburg, in 1983 visiting some friends. We ate at a place called Feriari's between Washington and Pittsburg that had an Italian flag as the sign and said "Home of the original calzone". At the time I had never heard of a calzone before. I was floored by how good that was. I have not had a better calzone since, though I have had some very good ones.

My guy

Did you bring up the nudes on Reddit while at the dinner table?

I think I read that in Art of War or How to win Friends and Influence Others
