If you were to ask me where to try local cuisine in Pavia, I would undoubtedly say Antica Trattoria Ferrari. In the two years that I have lived here, I have rarely eaten so well!
We literally had dinner from starter to dessert and there wasn't a dish that didn't convince us, on the contrary, everything went beyond our expectations.
We started with a house starter: I highly recommend it, it is plentiful and full of different tastings, all with local ingredients. It deserves to be ordered even just for the Bonarda coppa, one of the best cold cuts I've eaten in recent months.
As a first course we shared the risotto with Buttafuoco and salami pasta and the braised ravioli. It was difficult to choose what we liked best.
For me, in its simplicity, the risotto was the best I have tasted in Pavia.
As a second course, I finally tried the mixed fried river fish, a specialty of the area!
The river prawns are simply divine, the frogs were delicious, the fish was crunchy and not very greasy.
To finish it all off, we also had dessert, my biscuits with eggnog were incredible, but the winner was the homemade nougat parfait, crazy.
Very honest price given the quantity and quality of the dishes.
A big round of applause also for the service, kind and fast, you gave us a great experience!
I will absolutely be back soon.

Abbiamo pranzato in questa trattoria poco oltre il ponte coperto di Pavia. Il locale è davvero molto bello, con mattoni a vista, molto più di una semplice trattoria. Il menù è tipico pavese. Abbiamo preso dei ravioli di brasato, un risotto al gorgonzola e una tagliatella al cacao e zucca. I primi tutti buonissimi e porzioni abbondanti . A seguire solo uno di noi ha preso le lumache di secondo (fanno anche la mezza porzione da 6), non eccezionali, dovevano cuocere ancora un po’. Le altre persone hanno preso solo contorni: cipolle caramellate, verdure grigliate e carciofi. Il tutto accompagnato da una bottiglia di vino Bonarda e due di acqua naturale. Per concludere un sorbetto, baci di dama con moscato e tre caffè. Abbiamo speso meno di 40€ a testa. Torneremmo volentieri!

Capodanno a Pavia: Su TripAdvisor l'antica trattoria Ferrari ha una valutazione molto positiva ed è aperta per pranzo. Abbiamo scelto il menù degustazione. Siamo stati soddisfatti per la qualità dei piatti, per la cortesia del personale e per la correttezza dei prezzi. Ambiente rustico ma ospitale e ben riscaldato.
Una menzione particolare al risotto buttafuoco.

Nice, quaint and welcoming place. Easily accessible. Parking nearby. Pumpkin risotto with taleggio cheese, the Risotto with fire mouth and salami paste is also good. For the second course, mixed fried river fish, crunchy, good. For sweet chestnut flour tart filled with pears. Very good. Good price quality.

The atmosphere and service were lovely, the food is decent. Compared to Milan, the price is affordable. I had gorgonzola risotto cooked in wine, and ravioli di brasero (pulled meat) they were very tasty (except risotto being super salty). I have given 4 stars because the bread was stale, risotto was salty and anti-pasti was poor.

I visited "Antica Trattoria Ferrari" in Pavia in October, attracted by the positive reviews I had read.
The environment is really welcoming and clean, perfect for both lunch and dinner.
The staff is friendly and always available, even though the place was crowded. The service was fast and efficient.
The menu offers typical local products of the highest quality. Every dish I tried was delicious and well presented.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste the local cuisine.
Although the price may seem high, it is justified by the excellent quality of the products offered.
I recommend booking a few days in advance, especially on weekends, as the place is very popular.
Regarding parking, there are several public places in the area, both paid (blue lines) and free, so it won't be difficult to find a place for your car.
In summary, "Antica Trattoria Ferrari" is a good choice for a dinner in Pavia.
I hope to return soon

A pleasant dinner. I was looking for a place serving typical Lombard cuisine and we arrived here, reading the reviews. After a visit, we booked to celebrate Christmas Eve. Excellent dishes, accompanied by precise service and a welcoming environment.
