L'Osteria dal 1997 In Ferrara

20/09/2025: Average dinner. I ate with colleagues, and the first difficulty was the reservation. The menu for seven people was agreed upon in advance with the restaurant: it doesn't seem like a large enough group to require "different" management. The appetizers were simple and good, but the prices were high. The meat was high-quality, with a selection oriented more towards foreign products than Italian ones, and the prices were higher than average. I don't recommend the meat main courses for those who don't like it rare because, in our case, they couldn't get it medium rare, despite the staff's recommendation. The restaurant is medium-sized, rustic in style, with very pleasant soft lighting and the option to eat both inside and outside. The only downside were the boxes stacked against the walls, right at the entrance and behind our table. The parking lot is small, but there is a public parking lot nearby, a couple of minutes' walk away. The proximity to the train line didn't "disturb" our dinner; fortunately, there are few trains in the evening!

15/09/2025: A place where you can eat excellent meat, with a wide selection and truly well-executed dishes. There are also off-menu options, which are explained very well by the staff. Highly recommended for all meat lovers.
