La Cambusa In Ferrara

Small place in the center. Must try!

Nice place, I had an aperitif and had croquettes and fried mozzarella.

La Cambusa is one of those places that seem small but have a gigantic soul. It's one of my favorite places in Ferrara, and if you've been there, you know why. If you've never been there... well, what are you waiting for? Here you can eat mouth-watering burgers, sandwiches and finger food, but the real specialty of the house - even if no one has ever officially declared it - are the crab claws. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and with an irresistible I-know-what: they probably hide a secret ingredient, or it's just pure magic. La Cambusa is also the perfect place for those who love conviviality. Given its size (or rather, its “smallness”), making friends is practically inevitable. You sit down to eat and after five minutes you have already exchanged jokes with someone. Here you enter as customers and leave as evening companions. If you are looking for an authentic, informal place with street food done properly, La Cambusa is an obligatory stop in Ferrara. Oh, and don't forget to order the crab claws. I'm not saying that they are the real reason (besides Paolo, the steward) why this place exists... but almost.

Very small and intimate place...a real GALLEY in fact, where you feel at home even the first time you set foot in it. This is what happened to us. Paolo's friendliness, kindness and thoughtfulness. Rare gem nowadays.

Great historic pub with very good beers
