This review has been a long time coming, and I've been kicking myself for not writing it sooner. Everything about my dining experience here was 10/10, from the service, to the ambiance, and of course, the delicious food.
First off, yes - it's the Four Seasons so obviously you're expecting an amazing meal. However, Ferraro's really takes it up a notch.
My partner and I had been wanting to try out this restaurant for a while, but sadly our trip was booked fairly last minute and we couldn't find reservations so we figured we'd wait and try again on our next trip. My partner had surprised me with a couples massage at the Four Seasons for our last night on Maui, as I was starting law school shortly after we got back to CA. When we finished our massages, we thought we'd just pop in and see if there were any last minute cancellations that would allow us to sit down for a meal here. Wow, I'm so glad we did!
From the moment we walked in, the hostess kindly told us that her favorite "trick" is to ask to sit at the bar when we don't have reservations. This is because the bar doesn't fill up as they don't do reservations for it, and they still do full service at the bar. So we did as she said and next thing we know, we're eating some of the best Italian food I've ever had!
I'm so sad I didn't get pictures of the appetizer, but we ordered the bruschetta and the heart of palm ceviche. I'm a sucker for bruschetta and must order it everywhere I go, and this one gets a 10/10 in my book. The "ceviche" was unlike anything we had ever eaten, and I'm not kidding when I say that not one thing was left on either plate!
For dinner, I ordered the arrabiata (which they made entirely vegan for me!) and it was so delicious and somehow creamy? I don't know what they're doing back there, but man.. they can cook. It was probably the best arrabiata I've ever had. My partner got the italian sausage pasta and was very happy with it.
For dessert, I got the chocolate hazelnut tartufo. 11/10. I have never had anything quite like it. It was such a treat to eat and it's all about full indulgence. I really loved it. My partner had another dessert that I can't remember the name of, but it was more fresh and fruity and tasted delicious.
All in all, this was a dining experience I will never forget! Pair the incredible food with the ambiance of a beach front sunset, mai tais, and fun servers, the verdict is in: this place is phenomenal!
