Ristorante Nonno Papero In Ferrara

06/06/2026: A sure thing. A restaurant that's a sure thing, ranging from traditional (Bolognese - Ferrara) to seafood. Keeping things in order... Excellent at the crescentine (pinzini), baked as well as the usual fried dishes. STARTERS: TOP CRESCENTINE Zunna pie: No, too watery, probably from the freezer MAINS: Lasagna: Good. Tortellini: TOP. The pumpkin tortelloni were excellent (not too sugary), cooked perfectly and very generous. Ricotta tortelloni: Good, but they don't quite measure up to the tortellini and the pumpkin. Fish risotto: NO, too watery and bland, perhaps a bit more seasoning... Onion soup: Good, good, I would have used more Emmental and less onion, but it was good. Mushroom crepes: Not bad, but the quantity was small. Gnocchi with fondue and pancetta: Very, very good. MAIN COURSES: Salama Buona Donkey with polenta NO, although cooked well, bland and with little sauce. Beef fillet... Good. The fillet is also good. Eel... Good, a good 8. Grilled fish... We'd give it a 9. Tagliata al vinegar al balsamico: good, but needs more convincing. More charred. Braised beef off the menu, excellent. SIDE DISHES: Excellent French fries Fried zucchini, very good with the addition of salt. DESSERTS: Tiramisu is actually a good mascarpone. Coffee cake: good for coffee lovers, but for me, since I drink macchiato with sugar, it's too bitter. Mascarpone... Good. Parfait... Good The panna cotta is good and plentiful. The Tenerina is rather firm, not bad, please add more cream. Good service. Simple atmosphere, very clean bathrooms. Parking is close by. And reasonable prices! I think they currently have a fixed-price crescentine evening on Thursdays, all included. P.S.: I imagine it's expensive, but I recommend changing chairs... If you have a bad back all day, they're not the best. 😬 P.S.2: Smart trend, one regular crescentine and one full one. For two people.
