My experience at The Lab was more than satisfactory. An experience worth repeating every time you're in the area, right in the heart of Ferrara.
From the appetizers to the main courses, from the excellent quality meats to the burgers, side dishes, and fried foods... Everything was perfect!
Starting with the appetizers, I enjoyed pumpkin flans and porcini mushrooms and mixed mushrooms, both served on a fondue of Taleggio DOP, Grana Padano, and nutmeg. They melt in your mouth, a delightful sensation!
Cappellacci *TheLab* with mango reduction, sage, and toasted almonds, like homemade ones, but with a twist.
Grilled Irish Angus fillet, tender and juicy! A hand-chopped Angus tartare, accompanied by artisanal smoked burrata, sumac powder, orange crumbs, and Tuscan DOP EVO oil... WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? I could have eaten 18. Delicious!
FARMER BURGER: Black Angus, delicate vanilla and walnut Gorgonzola cream, caramelized seasonal pears, and bacon, served, of course, with French fries. A mix of flavors and contrasts, a sweetish one, that I thoroughly enjoyed. The succulent meat, the Gorgonzola cream with the contrast of vanilla, and the caramelized pears were truly exceptional! As a lover of contrasts, I couldn't help but love this pairing!
My beloved jalapeños are a must. The baked potatoes (au gratin) are also excellent.
The restaurant opens through a glass door leading you through a corridor. At the end, you'll find the restaurant, where you'll be greeted with smiles and kindness! The staff is extremely friendly and competent!
The room has a very distinctive industrial look; on the walls, we find illustrations of famous faces from cinema to science, accompanied by other illustrations with their most famous quotes! This woman at this restaurant is unique and original! Despite the industrial style, the space is quite bright and spacious!
I will definitely be returning to this place many times...
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
(You won't regret it)
