Was looking on Yelp to find a good Italian restaurant for dinner close to UNT since I was in town visiting my daughter. This place did not disappoint. I had the Fera's sampler which was a very good way to try three different dishes at once. I would recommend it. Next time I go back I will probably get the manicotti which was one of the items in that dish. My daughter had the chicken marsala which she also said was very good. Lastly, her friend had the chicken parmesan. Again, very good. They both said they couldn't believe they had been going to UNT for three years and had never been there. They said they will definitely be back and so will I the next time I'm in town visiting. The staff was very friendly and the place had a good homey atmosphere. Stop by and check it out.

Great food, great service, & cozy atmosphere! They serve beer and wine as well. I had the chicken Parmesan & for $2 additional I was able to upgrade the spaghetti and marinara sauce that came with it to fettuccine Alfredo. We will be back soon!

We love going to Denton square all the time and we have our go to places for dinner, but we want to keep trying other places and exploring the Denton area, which is how we found Fera's Italian Restaurant. First off, this place has a really neat interior, complete with trees and a kind of homey feel. It really feels like a place that is family owned, (which it is! Or so they said), and that has had a lot of care put into it. We even had a husband and wife tag team waiting on us! (Relatives of the owner too!).
For starters, the bread we were given was okay. The flavor of it was great, but it had a crispy outer shell with very little bread inside. Bread is free, so not docking points for that, plus I know this is my own personal preference. However we did order some cheesy garlic bread, and although the flavor was great, the cheese wasn't quite melted enough for my taste. Also, in the future I'd like to see a different type of bread rather than just a baguette split down the middle. (No points docked for the type of bread).
Now for the entrees! My wife ordered the Baked Ziti and thoroughly enjoyed it with no complaints. My dad got the linguini carbonara which was FANTASTIC, particularly the sauce, which was incredibly creamy and full of flavor. This meal was by far the favorite at the table and I know I personally can't wait to try other dishes with this specific sauce. I ordered the Aristocrat, a chicken and spaghetti dish with a bit of eggplant on top of the chicken. It was definitely a unique taste for me and I DID enjoy it. Just like the other dish, the sauce was creamy and tasty, just not QUITE as creamy and delicious. To be clear, I enjoyed this dish, but one criticism I have is this: the chicken tasted like it had been frozen for awhile or like it was a cheaper brand. Everything about the sauce more than made up for this, but the one thing keeping this place from getting five stars from me was that the chicken tasted just a bit off. Next, dessert!
We ordered two desserts: the Italian Cheesecake and the Spumoni Ice Cream Pie. Both were great, but one word of advice....get the Spumoni! The cheesecake was really good, but that Spumoni was so good and quite unlike any dessert I've tried before. It was definitely the favorite at the table, just like my dads meal.
Overall we left very pleased with our dinner and very few criticisms. We certainly plan to return and I can't wait to try more dishes here. The only things I'd like to see change would be what I mentioned about the bread and the quality of the chicken and maybe a few more drink offerings. There is definitely wine and beer, but I personally would like to see some cider here, (but that's just because I don't drink beer, so no points were docked for this). We'll see you again, Fera's Italian Restaurant! -

Quiet, Cozy, Italian Restaurant with good food and drink selections at a reasonable price. Only recommendation for 5 Stars from me is to have Servers more focused on the patrons then their homework. Was never asked if everything was OK and had to flag down for requests for more bread, etc.

Given the cold, rainy, gray day I was inspired to overload myself with comfy carbs, and alfredo sounded amazing. I chose Fera's based on Yelp reviews. I ordered sweet tea to drink, expecting good Southern brewed & sweetened iced tea. I received anything but that...some fountain (not even Gold Peak) version of "sweet tea". Bluck! I traded that out for a Coke, which oddly...never tasted right either. I also ordered chicken alfredo.
This delicious & complementary roll came out & I became excited for what was next...until it arrived.
The only way I can explain the chicken alfredo I received is to say...the consistency of the chicken, the taste of the alfredo sauce...it was exactly that of a lean cuisine meal. Except the quantity was more. Maybe 2 Lean Cuisine chicken alfredos in one bowl. I was so disappointed. It was a terrible let down. I was hungry, so I ate it anyway, but I sure hate that I wasted those calories on such a subpar experience.
Maybe their other food is good? I don't know. The little roll was delicious. The alfredo, though? Bluck! Pass!
