Pasta Fagioli Soup Recipe | Ferraro's Restaurant image

Ferraro's is a casual, off the strip , award winning restaurant located across the street from the Hard Rock Cafe. The wine is excellent, the homemade food is authentic and moderately priced. Past awards include Best Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator, as well as great reviews in Zagat and Michelin. I love this soup. Thanks, Gino, for sharing! This pasta Fagioli Soup recipe is world class. There are many dishes, including the homemade pasta that I love at Ferraro's in Las Vegas, but this soup is definitely one of my favorites and I order it every time I am in Vegas. Close your eyes and you just may be transported to the hills of Tuscany while you savor this sopa. This family owned restaurant measures up to any Italian restaurant anywhere.Gino Ferraro opined he would only charge $250,000 for this recipe. I'm grateful for that, Gino. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford! One thing is for sure. This is a special place with spectacular homemade Italian food.
