Il Mangiastorie In Ferrara

29/03/2026: The restaurant is really beautiful, with Japanese and Chinese decorations. The food was good, too, but the service was quite slow, but that's to be expected for a small restaurant like this. Recommended 👍

10/03/2026: Although the place isn't huge and they've raised the prices, the Chinese-style dishes (or, to be fair, adapted to our tastes) are very good, especially the baozi, which not all Chinese restaurants have, the lemon-fried chicken, their corn and chicken soup (excellent especially when you have a cold, piping hot, just how I like it), the mushroom and bamboo daufu, the duck or ravioli, and the spring rolls. Truly, very good. The takeout service is also very good, being quick and efficient; you usually never have to wait more than 15-20 minutes, and the portions are truly worth it. Unfortunately, having only tried their "Japanese" offerings once and for a few items, I can't give a definitive opinion. I highly recommend this restaurant; to date, I haven't found anything better, not even when traveling around Bologna and Ferrara. The only thing I'd like to see is some more "typical and traditional" dishes, but I'm afraid many Italians might not appreciate them. One last thing: how the heck do you tie takeout bags like that? Every time I pass by, I try to look at everything, but nothing. The ladies are too quick to seal everything, and when I unwrap them, even filming it, I struggle to tie the knots again. Hahaha!
