“Childhood memories of going with my ggma. Still that same taste and flavors.”
“Ferro's is a spot that consistently delivers a great experience every time. The Italian ice is absolutely delicious, easily one of the highlights and something you will keep coming back for. It is refreshing, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Service is quick and efficient, which makes stopping in easy whether you are in a rush or just craving something sweet. The staff are helpful and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. The place itself is clean and well-kept, which always makes a difference. Beyond the Italian ice, the menu is huge, offering plenty of options so there is something for everyone. No matter what you order, the quality stays consistent, and that reliability really stands out. It is the kind of place where you know you are going to get something good every time. Overall, everything from the food to the service comes together perfectly. Great flavors, fast service, and a welcoming atmosphere make this a highly recommended stop. Definitely a place worth visiting again and again.”
“Great price, fast service, fries and Italian ice tasted good 😀”
“Damn what everyone else says about that spot in little Italy, Ferros hands down has the best Italian ice in the city!! Or at least it’s better than that spot in Little Italy!”
“The Italian ice here was my favorite part of visiting Chicago! Their strawberry, mango, and watermelon paired perfectly with the pina colada or cucumber lime. All flavors have tons of real fresh fruit in them (including cucumber!) One of the waitresses was SO nice, insisting we try watermelon with the cucumber lime instead of pina colada with cucumber lime, and she was SO right! (the cucumber/lime & pina colada are both too plain/less sweet by themselves). I wish we lived closer...but you have inspired us to try making this at home. MUST try the Italian ice here! The 32 oz was only $8 & was enough to share among 2 or 3 people.”
“Went here with my family…we went for the Italian ice. We tried strawberry-pina colada, watermelon, mango-pina colada, and watermelon-mango. We enjoyed all the flavors! A must go!”
“Smoke Chicken is fire & Italian ice is very natural tasting and not packed with sugar. Staff is very friendly, will be coming back.”
“Ordered a famous Italian beef, was disappointed. Fries cold and sandwich small.”
“Got a cheeseburger, fries, hot dog & pepsi for $12 and it was all delicious!!! The burger reminded me of Cookout (which is a very good thing). Quick and friendly staff too. This place rules :)”
“I know the place been there for yrs.. but never really had the urge to go, until last yr.. But yesterday was my 1st visit. I got some Italian ice.👍🏾🔥 I'm definitely gone be back, for some more. I got a strawberry 🍓 & mango 🥭, Italian ice. It tasted just like the smoothie, from a Chinese place, up the street, from there. Glad I finally got to get some.😎”
