Il Baruffino In Portomaggiore

03/12/2024: After colleagues invited us to the restaurant and it was noticed, we went back the next day. Wonderfully fine food, great wines and nice staff. From now on our favorite trattoria in Ferrara.

02/12/2024: I booked here as a first time visitor to Ferrara and was eager to try the typical cuisine. I found this traditional cuisine place mentioned in several places including the Michelin Guide and Gambero Rosso but I wonder why. We tried various dishes including the appetizer with fried dumplings, tortellini in broth, the pasta casket, salami with sauce, etc... Even if on paper the menu had excellent premises, unfortunately nothing lived up to our expectations in as we found it all rather anonymous in execution. Furthermore, although the restaurant was well furnished and pleasant, it did not seem consistent with the traditional menu offered. The quality/price ratio doesn't seem adequate to me.
