Ferrari Silicon Valley

I needed the three year service on my car, this is the big one! Belts and tensioners! I could only drop off the car on a Saturday, and while service is closed, the sales dept is opened. So I dropped off the car on a Saturday and picked up the following Saturday. Charlie from the sales dept did a walk-​through with me on the car. My car was immediately moved indoors before I left the sales showeoom. Emails were sent promptly with updates. Everything was smooth as can be. Thanks to Joe for all the good work! Very happy with the level of service provided!
FYI. There is a 10 percent discount for FCA member!

I have sent in multiple requests online for inquiry on cars. Called and left the receptionist messages to respond, unfortunately by the time they did I have already purchased from the Ferrari dealership in San Francisco located in Mill Valley. Their team there (Safa and James) are much more responsive and attentive before and after the purchase.

Unquestionably the best Ferrari service in the Bay Area. They take care of my F355, including major service and detailing. These guys are the reason I still own my Ferrari today. Thanks Ferrari of Silicon Valley :)

Great service. Bud assisted me with getting the service on my F430. I also had the car detailed. I’m glad I brought the car for service at the dealership. They were also able to look up and recalls and address them. There was a minor recall on the F430 however my car didn’t have that issue. Not sure if independent shops are able to query the Ferrari database.

I have worked with this dealership now three times and I have had a positive experience on every occasion. The sales team including Jason, the salesman that sold me both vehicles and help me lease my Maserati, was more than pleasant to deal with. He assisted me with the paperwork and I was able to purchase my last Ferrari within 15 minutes from starting the paperwork.
It is easy to endorse a business that provides good customer service for the product or service they sell. However, when you receive exceptional service, then it is mandatory, in my opinion, to recognize the business so other people will and should experience the same level of service. This is the case with Ferrari Silicon Valley.
I highly recommend this dealership for your next Ferrari or Maserati purchase, when you arrive ask for Jason.

Purchased my Ferrari F430 coupe from Charlie. Probably my best car buying experience since I moved to the US. No pressure, no haggling, had opportunities to add $‘s for little things but he didn’t. Incredibly helpful, went out of his way to make the process as convenient as possible for me. I’ll be getting a Ghibli when the current lease is up. Thanks Charlie.

Recently purchased my ferrari and almost had a heart attack when a oil leak turned into an initially really expensive repair. At first I was disappointed as the dealer had just completed the service and did not find any issues and after 300 miles we were hit with this news. But after working with me and exploring all of the options, they were willing to come to a solution that would make me happy.
Joe and Metha were great to work with in the service department. Metha gave me the crash course in ferrari engines and I felt that he honestly treated my car as his own.
Great work guys.

It’s not the business that makes the people, it’s the people that make a business — SV Ferrari doesn’t forget that. I recently acquired a Ferrari and stopped in to inquire about various topics. As I stepped in, I was immediately greeted by a friendly and welcoming receptionist. Shortly afterwards, Charlie, the main representative came out to meet me. Charlie is as charming as he is unpretentious. Charlie answered all my questions patiently, politely, and with the utmost respect. Considering I did not purchase my vehicle from him; I feel this says a lot about his character and the how this establishment treats people.
The showroom itself is a temple displaying the pinnacle of automotive art and science. Everything was spotless and pristine as would be expected. There is a small bistro adjacent the showroom, and a full service bay behind the dealership. They had a wide selection of 458 Italias and F430s to admire. A few rare 599s were on deck as well.
If you’re ever interested in acquiring a Ferrari or just share the passion for the marque, stop by and enjoy!

I get most of my Ferraris here.

The people I interacted with at the dealership/​service center were very pleasant and professional, but unfortunately, they did not fix my car. I originally brought my Maserati in for servicing and to look at a mysterious electrical issue. They claimed they looked the car over fully several times, but could not reproduce the issue. I brought the car home and the issue returned several weeks later. I was left stranded at a long term airport parking lot. I brought the car back and left it with them for over a week, but they were not able to fix the issue. I was left with over $ 2k in charges and got billed for a week of a car rental at a higher than normal price and still had a car with a mysterious electrical issue. This either makes them liars or incompetent. I mean, even my Benz dealership gives me a Benz loaner when I bring it in for service. Ferrari Maserati left me with a Ford Focus and a $ 400 bill for the rental.

What a great place! My wife and I have bought a new Maserati and a used Ferrari from them. I have also referred my friends as well. The sales folks, as well as Henry in service are fantastic. Nathan, Jason, Charlie and most of all Giacomo go above and beyond to help. For example, I had an issue with Maserati roadside, and out of the blue, I see a UPS delivery at my door– a gift from Mr. Mattioli. Lets just say it was a very nice gift that I wasnt expecting. These guys make me want to sell my Gallardo and buy a 458 from them, just cuz they are that nice!

This place IS a fantastic place to be!!! The owner was so passionate about these cars, he was patient enough to explain every detail and options that they can offer even though I was only curious about the new 458 italia. Very nice and friendly, if I ever decide to pull the trigger, this is THE place to get it!!! When I thought they wouldn’t even look at me when I walked in, was I surprised! Moreover, I look like a fresh grad than anything else. To all the other dealers that treated people like they were nobody, you should be ashamed of yourselves!

It’s pretty funny that I actually came here to eat, not to look at the cars. Although I had been facing away from said vehicles the whole meal, watching the soccer game on the big screen, the eating would end eventually and I had to look when a couple cars were being delivered. If you’re into autos, follow F1 or anything of the ilk, you will definitely appreciate the representations of beauty here. I was actually blocked in by one of the delivery trucks and in order to get out I helped the driver push an F430 out of the way so I could sneak out. The people were pretty friendly, especially the service guy who was the first one I talked to. I thought they’d be snooty but I was definitely wrong. I guess in an area like this you can never know who your customer is and can’t judge a book by its cover. That goes doubly for me now. Can’t assume just because they have high end cars that they won’t treat you well if you’re not waving money around! Obviously if you’ve got tons of cash burning a hole in your pocket… but even if you don’t it’s great to check out

Folks! this is letter I wrote to Mr. Mattioli who (along with Mr. Zafiropoulo Sr.) own the dealerships. A fantastic place to be. An even wonderful little Bistro with a superb chef David! Swing by this place and enjoy the Italian Art. When you are ready, there is only ONE salesperson to go to — Jason Zafiropoulo!

RE: Jason Zafiropoulo
Dear Mr. Mattioli,
I’d like to compliment one of your sales people from Ferrari/​Maserati of Silicon Valley, Jason Zafiropoulo for the excellent service he provided me last week in the purchase of my wife’s Maserati GT.
I found Mr. Zafiropoulo personable, caring and above all a true professional. In an industry that is not known for such character — Mr. Zafiropoulo should be commended. I found him extremely knowledgably of all the vehicles he had shown me. And when it came time to negotiate, much to our surprise — he was fair and honest in his approach!
Ferrari’s and Maserati’s are functioning masterpieces that blend both science and art. I am truly fortunate to own one. And though I am not a high profile athlete, nor an entertainer, Mr. Zafiropoulo made me and my wife feel like one.
Such a commitment to great customer service is to be commended. You have definitely gained a new customer who will refer all of his friends and colleagues to Ferrari of Silicon Valley.
Sincerely,
Dr. Joseph C. McMurray

OK. This is my first Unilocal review so might as well make it a review on a rather unusual place to dine.
I was introduced to the Bistro F-​1 by my exotic car enthusiast friend. This bistro is located inside the Ferrari Maserati of Silicon Valley. Well, I don’t know about you but a car dealership is not the first place I think of when I want to get some lunch.
The bistro is a small place with maybe 4 or 5 tables. A LCD TV with some games on. The food is OK too. But the view! Now, I am not talking about some great outdoor scenery or can’t-take-your-eyes-off-them beautiful people (though they are certainly wealthy), I am talking, of course, about the cars. And not just any car but some of the best money can buy.
I had a Risotto ai Funghi for lunch. It is saffron Carnaroli rice tossed with wild mushrooms, pancetta, sauteed chicken breast and fresh herbs. The price is $ 17.99 so it is not too expensive consider where you are having it at.
I give this place 4 star for decent food, a chance to look at exotic cars, and an overall unique experience. The bottom line is to give this place a try but with the knowledge that the main draw here are the cars and not the ambiance or the food.

So there are not to many places in the Bay Area or the world for that matter to purchase let alone service your Ferrari or Maserati. In the Bay Area there are only 2 such places. Ferrari/​Maserati of San Francisco (located in Marin how odd), and on the peninsula there is Ferrari/​Maserati of Silicon Valley.
If you live in Marin then it does make sense to stay on that side of the bridge. However, if you live anywhere else, you should go to Ferrari/​Maserati of Silicon Valley. Giacomo the owner, also owns Ferrari/​Maserati of Beverly Hills where they sell the most Ferraris and Maseratis than any other place in the world. So they have a much longer relationship with the factory in Modena in terms of servicing and more importantly, access and allocations to newer models. Charlie is the General Manager there and he will take care of any of your needs.
Also, if your hungry skip the café at the dealership because, its not there to cater to customers to eat. Your supposed to have business there in regards to your car, but people don’t to get it. Thats why there are no reviews on the café in Zagats or any other place but Unilocal

I must be the only person giving this place a fat 2 stars… only because the experience was quite entertaining.
Lunch hits, me and some buddies decide to try something new. We decide to hit up the F1 Bistro! Sweet! We can look at over priced cars from Ferrari and Maserati. We pull into the faux italian villa style parking lot, park my car, and make our way to the entrance of the building.
Upon walking in we are all IMMEDIATELY met with unkind stares. The kind of stare that makes you feel less than. So we saunter on up to the small kitchen area and kind of look around and casually ask one of the patrons where the cook was (as he was missing). The exchange follows:
ME: Excuse me, do you work here or are you just getting a sandwich?
Guy: …
ME: Uhhh…
Guy: I got a sandwich. Do you have an appointment to see the cook?
ME: No unfortunately. I need an appointment for a sandwich?
Guy: …
The cook finally walks in, glares at us all, and walks into the kitchen. He does not make an attempt to even acknowledge our presence.
ME: Hi! Could we get some PANINIS?
Cook: We only have 3 pieces of bread…
At this point we were all blown away and decided to leave from how painfully awkward the situation was. Keep in mind, during all of this… DEAD SILENCE. Best thing that has happened to me all week.
To actually review this place: it is in line with any other venue that features something completely over priced that attracts the most pompous and arrogant assholes. Kinda like Santana Row but multiplied because its a circle jerk in a smaller venue filled with over priced cars from a manufacture that has pedigree (which is why all you care so much about them) and a company that couldn’t make a car right or make money for almost 20 years.
IN SHORT: This place is way too overhyped, much like the cars in my opinion.

I love buying biscotti across the street from this dealership, and I love ogling the Ferraris and Maseratis on display here. It is indeed a breathtaking sight to see the automotive arts on clear display on this otherwise slightly drab block of RWC.
And as a bona fide «pansy», I can assure another reviewer of this dealership that gay people are just as interested in fine automobiles as straight people. Even little gay boys. For shame that you would use such a slur in your review.

I can’t imagine anyone finding this place to be less than whole-​heartedly, fantastically, eminently, luminously, Ferrari-​redly, orgasmic.
Truly a magical place, the glitzy Italian luxury engulfs you. In the market for a F360 or F430? There’s a handful to ogle and a few to test drive. Just want to get your Pininfarina fix? Sales Manager Jason Zafiropoulo will bypass any semblance of pitching and chat you up anyway. Hoping for a glimpse of your own reflection off the 599? It’s being serviced next door. Addicted to Ferrari RED? Skip the MoMA display (
) and come right in! There’s even a bistro (Italian sodas, paninis, you name it) to satiate your other appetite, complete with soundtrack provided by and visuals of F1s zooming by on the flatscreen.
If the El Camino Real (Menlo Park/​Atherton) is part of your daily commute, be sure to cock your head at just the right angle in full view of the left-​most display car. Currently, she is a sexy, silver, blue-​striped MC12 with gorgeous lines and a heart of a beast. A while ago, the quaint ex-​King Leopold III 342 America took the spotlight. And before that, it was the (gulp) Enzo (please excuse the puddle of drool). All are part of owner Art Zafiropoulo’s private collection… so tear up that $ 500K deposit check you were making ready.
Possibly the coolest place to take your fanatic pre-​teen son or nephew for 100% guaranteed satisfaction… or simply to render them speechless. Unless, of course, your son is still into Pokemon and/​or your nephew is a pansy. Or if you’re into Priuses. (But then, you probably shouldn’t request to add me as a friend… or read my reviews.)
Parting wishes… If you spot the stickered Ferrari one of these mornings, may you enjoy peace, love, and happiness for the day’s duration. If you catch sight of the ULTRATECH sticker thereupon, may you live forever. And finally, if you find that they are showcasing the 2008 Maserati GranTurismo Coupe, please, just call me.

I had lunch here today. They basically have paninis and pasta entrees. The paninis are about $ 10 to $ 12, and the pasta entres are about $ 10 to $ 16. I had a panini with Italian tuna that was very tasty, and included bottled spring water.
The chef was friendly and we chatted a bit about food. The ladies at the front reception desk were also friendly.
Were a couple of obese billionaire types sitting at the café who gave me the eye when I walked in, but I’m no stranger to that vibe. I think they’re kind of funny so I smiled at ‘em and they lost interest and went back to talking about Dick Cheney.
Had a great time looking over the cars while waiting for my lunch, and even saw several of the cars getting moved! At one point they were pushing a race car out of the showroom down a ramp, and one of the guys started yelling, «BRAKES BRAKES!!» to the person steering. Fortunately that was as exciting as it got.
Beautiful cars, good food. I thought the prices were very reasonable given the setting.
