Chiodo's Ferro Cucina - Warren

A business colleague and I stumbled on this gem, quite by accident. My poached salmon served in a delicious dill sauce was one of the best salmon dinners I have had. The all-you-could-eat salad served with an oil and vinegar dressing (with an overtone of sweetness) could have been a meal by itself. Despite the fact that we were strangers, the proprietress made us feel welcome and part of the family. I had/have two regrets: 1) that I didn't have a bigger appetite, and 3) that I don't live within driving distance. I look forward to my business reasons bringing me back, again.

SECOND VISIT UPDATE: My girlfriend and I decided to give it another chance. This time, I avoided the prime rib, and let me tell you—the dishes we tried this time were much more impressive. We started with the Escargot and Sea Scallop Martini antipasti, both of which were delicious. For our entrees, we had the Shrimp Scampi and the Smoked Mozzarella Ravioli, and both were outstanding. We will definitely be returning, and I’ve upgraded my rating by one star.

This place was amazing! We were looking for Italian food in the area and found an absolute gem. We had escargot to start because we had never seen it on the menu before. The texture and flavor was fantastic. We also had fried provolone sticks which were delicious as well. For dinner my friend and I had the seafood alfredo which had a generous serving size with crab and shrimp. My other friend had the brisket and was incredibly satisfied. Highly recommend this place to anyone near or far.

The food there is delicious; however, we were unable to visit. They didn't have any special events for Mother's Day.

I was part of a group of eight, and we had to wait about 30 minutes for our checks, even though we were just four couples. They automatically added a 20% gratuity, but honestly, I would have only tipped around 5%! Additionally, my chicken fettuccine wasn't impressive; the chicken was bland, while the fettuccine was overly seasoned. The waitstaff never checked on us to see if we wanted refills. I won't be returning, and my friends felt the same way.
