I migliori ristoranti in Ferrara

07/11/2024: This restaurant in a former small fishing station on an islet in the Po Delta is unique. Here I had perhaps the best meal of many in a month-long Italian trip hosting a small-group food & wine tour and researching for future ones. I took my tour group to La Zanzara with high expectations, which were exceeded. This is a produce-driven restaurant where you are in the chef's hands - he serves seafood from the delta and local Adriatic prepared in his own way - and he does it beautifully. We allowed the sommelier to select wines for us and each pairing was excellent, with alternatives being offered for those who had specific tastes. Staff were friendly, welcoming and accommodating and the setting and decor simple but beautiful. I can't wait to bring next year's tour group back here.

14/10/2024: Courses presented without any plating, monotonous ingredients that were repeated, combinations unpleasant to the palate, overcooked fried food resulting in hard crustaceans and dried bone fish. The yarrow was nothing like Igles's.
