Very good traditional food, a wide selection of local and international wines, and very friendly staff. The atmosphere, right next to the church, is very cool and definitely worth a visit. The only downside is the restrooms, which (due to the restaurant's age) are just a hole in the floor and a very small sink.
Dinner here is almost a must when visiting Ferrara :)

A very odd and very unique place, serving food and wines that absolutely feel local. These are definitely not fancy dishes that are made to look good, but rather to give you a taste of what locals have enjoyed for many centuries.
Inside it is quite hectic with dust covered shelves and bottles, many instruments hanging down from the ceiling. Not the cleanest place for sure, but it just kind of adds more to it's soulful, olden atmosphere.
Be sure to ask for the local wine(s), if you are lucky you get to try the owner's orange one, real crafty - I wish I could remember it's name :(

Al Brindisi is an institution.
They do not accept reservations, so it is best to evaluate the arrival times.
Good dishes of the Ferrarese tradition served in more than abundant portions.
Excellent tortellacci di zucca al ragù and the lasagna "ignorante".
Very interesting wine list ranging from Romagna to Emilia.
Excellent value for money.
Precise and fast service.
We will return ... even for an aperitif!

Place in the center with internal and external tables also accessible to disabled people.
It offers the possibility of eating at any time of the day.
There were two of us and we took two glasses of local wine, a red and a white, if you want you can take half a glass so you can taste more.
Fair prices, the wine wasn't bad, a little strong but I thought they had more choice even if they only stock wines from Emilia Romagna.

A historic venue doesn't need much introduction!
Simple food but with a deep and genuine taste.
Plate of cold cuts with ricotta and piadinas exceptional but the real gem is the pumpkin cappellacci with ragù!
Extraordinary everything and generous portions!

Ho ritrovato questo locale dopo alcuni anni ed è sempre all'altezza delle aspettative. Cucina tipica locale e ottima scelta di vini da abbinare ai piatti. Personale giovane e cordiale e prezzi onesti

Il locale è accogliente e ben curato, ma purtroppo c'è sempre fila da affrontare, dato che non accettano prenotazioni. Abbiamo provato il tagliere di salumi con tigelle: i salumi erano davvero di qualità, ma le tigelle erano troppo dure, un vero peccato. Un altro punto da migliorare è la presenza di un solo bagno, per di più alla turca, che può risultare scomodo.
