Il Mandolino In Ferrara

I finally did it: I had been meaning to have dinner at one of the various restaurants located in via delle Volte for a long time (naturally after a nice walk 🚶🏻‍♂️ there) and, just one Sunday some time ago, the right opportunity presented itself. As soon as we entered, we were cordially welcomed by the waitress 👩🏻 who led us into the room; we then took a look 👀 around choosing the table at the back in the corner (very intimate and private). Browsing the menu 📋 we were pleasantly surprised by the good variety of options, all of which were also relevant to the renowned local culinary tradition. In the end we opted for an appetizer based on radicchio, pancetta 🥓 and hot balsamic vinegar (truly special in taste and delicacy), cappellacci with pumpkin 🎃 and salama da sugo with mashed potatoes 🥔. All valid without a shadow of a doubt, also in the face of a quality service 👌. The only criticism I feel like making concerns the wine: we had only ordered two glasses of still red wine 🍷 (choosing a good Fortana but, when it came to paying the bill at the cashier, we discovered that we had been charged for the entire bottle (which was still opened in front of us at the table, I stress). At that point we were told that the "by the glass" service was not provided, but that we could easily take the bottle home (and so we did). I think it was simply a misunderstanding, a trivial lack of understanding perhaps, however I continue to be a bit perplexed (not to mention that, to return to the car 🚘, we had to cross 🚶🏻‍♂️ the center of Ferrara with the bottle in our hands like two drunkards 🙄). Honest prices and a very characteristic place, especially with regards to the theming and attention to detail in the furnishings. I give the fifth star ⭐ in this review 📝 since anyway we had a great time, but I invite the owners to carefully consider what was mentioned above. RECOMMENDED 👍.

Pretty trattoria with walls filled with paintings and photos. Efficient and friendly staff, good quality cuisine with simple and tasty ingredients.

Very good food, clean and comfortable environment! I would have liked to give 5 stars, but I would like to contest the fact of non-reservations.. unfortunately nowadays it is not possible to rely on the correctness of people.. (rude, ignorant and rude, I would add) perhaps putting a numbering (like delicatessen) could be of help. However, this won't stop me from coming again to eat your delicious dishes!

A unique experience in the center of Ferrara

Pranzo di lavoro, l’ambiente è vetusto ma lo si perdona vista l’atmosfera alla “Trattoria di una volta”. Le portate non sono abbondanti ma la qualità è buona e si sente l’artigianalità. Anche i dolci sono fatti da loro. Prezzi in linea con qualità e concorrenza.

Very satisfied. Quick service, quality food and pleasant staff. What you need on your lunch break

I was here randomly, curious to eat something good in this magnificent city. I'm so happy to have stopped by here, nice and fast service and really great food! I hope to go back with some of my friends!

Given the excellent reviews, being in Ferrara at lunchtime and wanting to try typical dishes, we went to this restaurant. I confirm everything positive that I have read. Excellent cuisine, professional and friendly staff and a very traditional location. They don't accept reservations so there's no point in calling, you try to go and if you're lucky you'll find a place. Quality homemade ingredients. Highly recommended

I discovered this place by chance and was pleasantly surprised. It is located in a very picturesque street, very close to the Estense Castle. The place is beautiful and we ate very well. A chicken with polenta that was simply spectacular and, for dessert, a chocolate salami that was truly incredible. The best thing was the attention received: kindness, friendliness and availability. Also, more than fair prices. I can't wait to go back!

Ristorante classico con menù tradizionale. Tutto ottimo: Cibo, ambiente, servizio. Prezzi adeguati a quanto proposto
