Who we are
A Family Table for Spokane
At Ferrante’s, we believe a great meal is more than food—it’s a gathering, a tradition, and a story told over plates you remember.
For 21+ years, our family has brought real Italian recipes and local Spokane warmth to the South Hill, one hand-tossed pizza and batch of gelato at a time.
We don’t just serve customers—we welcome neighbors, celebrate milestones, and keep old-world hospitality alive in every corner of our cafe.

Our Recipe: Tradition, Quality, Community
We opened Ferrante’s with a simple idea: do Italian food the way our families did back home, treat every guest like a neighbor, and always invest in quality first. That vision still guides every dish, every staff member, and every new flavor on the gelato bar.
We never cut corners. Every sauce, every batch of dough, and every gelato flavor starts with real, honest ingredients from the best sources—often right here in the Northwest.
You’re not a ticket number. Whether it’s your first meal or your fiftieth, you’ll see familiar faces, get genuine service, and always feel at home.
We believe great businesses lift up their community. From supporting local charities to featuring Spokane artisans in our marketplace, Ferrante’s is committed to making a difference in our community.
What Makes Us Different
We didn’t become a neighborhood staple by accident. Ferrante’s stands out because we stay true to our roots: family recipes, honest hospitality, and a constant drive to serve something better—whether it’s your pizza night, a quick lunch, or a special celebration.
Our Legacy, Your Neighborhood
Before Ferrante’s opened its doors, our family recipes lived at home—served on holidays, passed down by stubborn grandmothers, and perfected through years of kitchen debates.
In 2004, we brought those flavors to Spokane’s South Hill, determined to build something lasting: a place where families, friends, and newcomers could experience true Italian hospitality, no plane ticket required.
You’ll see us behind the counter, rolling dough, greeting regulars, or restocking shelves in our marketplace. Our team isn’t just staff—they’re part of the family, trained in the art of both food and friendliness.
The recipes have roots, but we keep things fresh. New flavors, seasonal specialties, and local collaborations ensure there’s always something worth coming back for.
Whether you’re here for the Cougar Gold cheese pizza, our famous gelato bar, or to grab a gift before dinner, Ferrante’s is built for Spokane, by Spokane, with all the stubborn pride you’d expect from a real family business.
