We tried this restaurant for an unplanned dinner. They seated us outside in the small square. The atmosphere was pleasant, but I struggled all evening with my chair slipping on the round stones. It was very annoying, and at one point I almost fell over backwards. Luckily, the waiter saw me and helped me find a stable position. As for the food, the pinzini were good; perhaps with the cured meats, I would have preferred a few slices of prosciutto along with the rest. The main courses were decent. The bill, around €70, is in line with the central area of the city. I'd definitely try their pizzas; I've seen some interesting ones. And I'd ask for a seat in the small square inside, which has cobblestones instead of round stones.

A very nice restaurant right in the city center, especially for the breathtaking view directly of the Estense Castle. Varied menu, including meat, fish, pizza, and burgers. Good quality and beautifully presented food. Fast and friendly service. Recommended.

Locanda 22 is a truly beautiful and unique place, located in the heart of Ferrara's historic center, with a splendid view of the Estense Castle. The atmosphere is charming and the place has a lot of character. The food is good, although there's always room for improvement. Overall, a wonderful experience in an enchanting setting.

Eating overlooking the Castle is truly enchanting.
The place is charming, the staff is courteous, the food is good, and so is the service.

🌟 Restaurant with a view (and taste!) in the heart of Ferrara 🌟
A wonderful experience in this restaurant in the center of Ferrara, with a truly suggestive view of the fortress and of the well-kept gardens, including the fountain - perfect for an outdoor summer dinner.
The menu is digital (via QR code) and I must say well structured and clear. If we really want to find a detail to improve, as a layman I would suggest adding some photos of the dishes - it would help to choose, but I understand that not all restaurants do this.
The service was excellent, the staff friendly and attentive. I had a tuna tartar as an appetizer and, to follow, spaghetti with squid ink (find the photo, it's worth it): everything very good, well plated and with excellent raw materials.
Finished with limoncello - and here a small note: they left it for me, which I really appreciated, also because I later discovered that the entire bottle costs €45 😅. So thank you so much!
I recommend this place both to those who come from outside and want to eat well in a relaxing and central location, and to those who are local and are looking for a quiet corner with good Italian cuisine. I will gladly return!

Dinner with friends in the little square in front of the restaurant. Despite the heat of this very strange June, we enjoyed a refreshing breeze among the branches of a very well-kept urban green. The service was very pleasant and professional, the food very good and even though we had ordered dishes that were all different from each other, it arrived quickly. The service staff (many are university students who come from abroad) were friendly and professional. Our favorite tonight was Brenda, a delight of a person, creator of some truly amazing desserts. Congratulations to everyone!

Personale cordiale, servizio rapido, prezzi contenuti, locale curato. Ho preso una pizza gourmet con ingredienti di ottima qualità. Posizione invidiabile che permette di respirare a pieno l’atmosfera ferrarese. Nel complesso ottima esperienza, consigliato.
