Ostaria da Alberto In Baricella

Went to celebrate a wedding anniversary. The rustic place is very charming and welcoming. They make you feel at home, especially Martina. The food is exceptional, fresh, and truly high-quality. We had fried polenta with truffle-infused Parmesan fondue, gratinated tortellini alla parmigiana, hand-chopped beef with vegetables, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon, venison in the woods, and a dessert, pear, ricotta, salted caramel, and dark chocolate chips. Competent, friendly, and helpful service. The price is a little above average, but well-deserved. Recommended

Quality food and a lasagna to remember. Super welcome.

Excellent venue and service. I personally tried the fried polenta, pumpkin cappellacci, roast lamb shoulder, venison "in the woods," and a coffee mousse...all so spectacular that I couldn't choose a favorite. All the other dishes at the table that I didn't try were also excellent, according to other diners.

The name “Osteria” could be misleading, but Osteria Alberto, just outside Ferrara, is much more than you might expect. Welcomed without a reservation by the very kind Martina, who with great kindness and courtesy sat me down and served me quickly despite the place being full, I immediately perceived a rustic and authentic environment, which however soon leaves room for a high-level gastronomic experience. The menu immediately reveals the chef's intent: to reinterpret tradition with creativity, without ever distorting it. I tasted two appetizers: fried polenta in Parmesan fondue and truffle, very fragrant and delicious, and a plate of raw ham with vegetables and warm balsamic vinegar cream, a real treat for those who love this ingredient. But the dish that really won me over were the cappelletti au gratin: very small, with a very thin pastry and a delicious filling. The choice to serve them au gratin was surprising and satisfying. The meal was accompanied by an excellent glass of wine, chosen from two proposals chosen by Martina (a great wine connoisseur) at the time of opening. The bill? A little above average, but absolutely consistent with the quality of the raw materials and the care of the proposal. A place to recommend for those who love traditional cuisine elevated with taste and competence. I will be back very willingly!

We had an unforgettable experience at Osteria da Alberto during our trip to Italy. The staff was genuinely polite and welcoming, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The food was outstanding – we enjoyed scallops with caviar, a perfectly cooked fillet Rossini style, and an exquisite seafood pasta. The wine recommended by the staff paired perfectly with our meal and was just as tasteful. The whole experience was unique and truly memorable. Highly recommended!

Very positive experience. Special menu... excellent food... perfect service.

Very good restaurant serving authentic and refined cuisine. Recommended 100%
