I migliori ristoranti in Ferrara

20/12/2025: In two weeks, two dinners, one with friends and one with my life partner; there's a reason, and I'll tell you. The atmosphere is deliberately simple, like the typical trattorias you find in Emilia-Romagna: clean and comfortable, you feel right at home. The service is discreet, always present at the change of courses, and full of suggestions. The food is a wide selection, including typical Ferrarese dishes and expertly blended with the surrounding area. To date, I've tasted, first, Ferrarese salami pie, chef's grill, second, Ferrarese pasticcio with truffle, and "vellutata" (velvety) polenta with salami... well, gentlemen, I absolutely must return for a round of just the latter, Her Majesty the Polenta, soft and velvety, paired with a variety of toppings... I'll try them all soon. See you soon.

09/12/2025: Compliments to the chef and all his staff, who were friendly and provided a wonderful welcome, just like home. Excellent, well-prepared food, high quality. Recommended: Truffled cutlet (I won't let you post a photo) ❤️❤️

09/01/2026: Tasty, well-prepared traditional dishes, served in a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. Ideal for relaxing lunches and dinners.

04/01/2026: This very chic little restaurant was recommended to us, aesthetically unique and refined. We had a wonderful dinner: the raw fish appetizer was presented with the care and passion of a chef who knows what he's doing. The off-menu first course was FABULOUS, with truly thoughtful aromas and combinations. Then I said to myself, "Now a dessert would be perfect, but I'm having a hard time surprising myself after this crescendo of flavors and aromas..." Even though I was full, I decided to break the rules. The result? A SENSATIONAL dessert! For the service and hospitality, I'd say we're 6 stars! Well done, well done, well done! You deserve so many more satisfied customers like us! We'll definitely be back.

24/01/2026: What can I say? Top quality, always evolving, attention to detail and customer service.

19/01/2026: Currently the best ever. Well done, keep it up 💪💪💪

16/01/2026: A well-known restaurant in Ferrara that I found overrated compared to my high expectations. Personally, I find the menu rather boring and repetitive, almost always featuring only fish, and therefore it's not to my liking. The service, unless you're a known and loyal customer, isn't particularly attentive. The open space overlooking the street is interesting, especially in summer and fall. Recommended but with reservations; it's definitely a place that could improve, especially in terms of value for money. The reservation service could be improved.

06/01/2026: Disorganized bookings; they don't answer the phone. We went on the first night, recommended by the hotel, and were told at 7:00 PM that without a reservation, we couldn't get in. A table for two was provided. The next day, we tried to book from the morning, even through the hotel, but they didn't answer. That evening, we tried to stop by and were turned away a second time, saying we couldn't have dinner without a reservation. How to book this restaurant remains a mystery. I'd say I'll never try again.

22/01/2026: Amazing food, better than many restaurants around Ferrara, always new and unique things to order, super friendly staff, 100% recommended

17/01/2026: Take It Easy is undoubtedly my favorite place in Ferrara. It's the ideal spot for both lunch and dinner, with a formula that combines the spirit of street food with the care and quality of real restaurant dishes. The preparation is always excellent, meticulously prepared, and never boring. I've been going there for years, and it's a sure thing. My absolute favorite dish is the cappellacci with ragù, which for me are simply the best in all of Ferrara (and I've tried so many around the city). The only flaw: there are only four on the plate, but they're so good it's easily forgiven. The rest of the menu is also excellent: from the pasticcio ferrarese to the many frequently changing options, a sign of a vibrant, attentive, and never repetitive cuisine. Anna, the owner, is always extremely kind, helpful, and welcoming, and she makes a difference in making you feel at home. It's a place I adore and where I always bring friends and acquaintances: the result is always the same; they're pleasantly surprised. A place I recommend without a doubt.

15/02/2026: Beautiful, welcoming place, top-notch and very attentive service, and the food was delicious!! The meat melted in your mouth. From starter to dessert, everything was spectacular. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

24/01/2026: Excellent restaurant and kind service, I recommend it

03/01/2026: Good pizza, great price, and perfect delivery time.

02/01/2026: Excellent pizza. Good dough and ingredients. A perfect discovery.

31/01/2026: Everything was top notch and tasteful, I'll be back, thank you very much!

18/01/2026: I found it by chance after reading the reviews and looking at the photos of the dishes. This time, let's start with the things I didn't like the most: the lighting in the restaurant was disappointing, with ineffective lights. The space is also a little cramped, but it's manageable. From here on out, only positive things. The menu isn't overwhelming, so you can't get lost. There are 5-6 choices for each course, traditional Ferrara dishes and a few different options, including meat, fish, and vegetarian options. I tried the creamed cod with chickpea cream, pumpkin tortelli, and salami for sauce. Not much to say, the dishes were good and well-prepared (perhaps I would have preferred the ragù for the tortelli to be different: the pieces of meat were large and the sauce a little runny, but that's a minor detail). Special mention for the service! The waiters were kind and attentive, smiling and pleasant, and they also gave us effective advice. Truly excellent. If I were to return to Ferrara, I would definitely return here.

19/12/2025: A large cup costs €5, which is reasonable given the good location and the amount of ice cream inside. The ice cream is very good, the place is clean, and the staff are very kind.

09/11/2025: Pumpkin and tenerina ice cream! The perfect combination.

26/01/2026: A sublime lunch, excellent first courses, and special meat. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Prices are reasonable for the top-quality ingredients used. We'll definitely be back.

19/01/2026: We had a great time overall and will definitely return.

21/12/2025: Very good food, excellent service, and helpful staff. Elegant atmosphere, soft lighting. You can see the commitment to serving dishes with care and above-average quality. You're definitely on the right track... Maybe a little pricey. Recommended 👍🏻

16/12/2025: I've tried it with my family on several occasions, and the results are always excellent! The tasting menu (available in both meat and fish options) is always new, with surprising and delicious dishes. The price is very competitive considering the quantity and quality of the food, as well as the service provided by chef Michele Bacilieri and his staff.

24/12/2025: The atmosphere is truly beautiful. The food is excellent, with an off-menu option that changes weekly. The staff is young and knowledgeable. You can also go for an aperitif!

15/12/2025: Beautiful dinner, the food is really good and the staff is kind and attentive.

30/01/2026: Excellent pizza with Neapolitan dough and a high crust, very friendly service, family atmosphere, wide choice of beers including a very good IPA from Mastro Birrai Umbri, average price,

02/12/2025: A very welcoming atmosphere, the staff is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and courteous. We had the fish, and it was exceptional—excellent ingredients, perfectly prepared. Excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back.

21/12/2025: Recommended for those traveling and looking for a quick lunch stop in the Salerno area. Fast, attentive service, offering traditional dishes, using traditional, seasonal, and high-quality ingredients. Fresh pasta, sublime escarole and olive tart, eggplant parmigiana just like my grandmother used to make with non-industrialized ingredients, and chicken leg and mushrooms that melt in every bite. Highly recommended.

04/12/2025: Excellent food, friendly, nice. The owner is a man of skill in preparing dishes and excellent cuisine and, a great example of COURAGE in loving life ❤️ Highly recommended

13/01/2026: It was a wonderful party. The owner was very kind and accommodating, always trying to please the guests. DJ Paco was very friendly and kept me company before we entered for our 18th birthday party. He was also excellent at his job, keeping us entertained and entertained. Everything went very well, the food was delicious, and the service was perfect. I truly thank the waiters and the owner for this fantastic experience.

28/12/2025: On December 26th I celebrated my daughter's 18th and I was very satisfied and happy, the place was well-kept in detail, the location was beautiful, the staff was attentive, professional and helpful, thanks also go to the owner of the property Giovanni, always very helpful and kind in accommodating our every request, I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to organize events, parties etc. Thanks again
