Ferraro’s Italian Food Specialties, Parsippany
Family owned and operated, Ferraro’s Italian Food Specialties in Parsippany serves homestyle Italian recipes, deli sandwiches, and prepared dinners to go. It is the kind of place you stop for a sandwich and leave with a tray of eggplant parm for the week.
