I migliori ristoranti in Ferrara

09/12/2025: My husband and I had been to this restaurant for the first time last May. The service was very chaotic and everyone was rather confused, but the food, both the Moroccan and Pakistani, was excellent. We thought the disorganization was due to inexperience and that after seven months things would probably be better. Yesterday, we booked a table two hours in advance. At 8:45 PM, there were just the two of us in a deserted, unheated restaurant. Of the six dishes we requested, three were unavailable: harissa not available, couscous only on Fridays and Saturdays, and pepper and onion sauce not available. To begin with, we ordered two tagines (both excellent!), an eggplant sauce, two Arabic rolls, and a liter of water. Once we finished the tagines, we would have ordered more and finished with Moroccan mint tea, but after waiting 35 minutes in the cold, we gave up. The two waiters in the restaurant remained on a sofa near the register the entire time, and even though they saw my husband had finished his meal, they never returned to the dining room. They obviously wanted to close up, but by the time we finished our two tagines, it was an hour and a quarter before closing time. We spent €32, €22 for the food and €10 for bread, water, and a cover charge. We won't be returning to this restaurant, and we're very disappointed because it was convenient to get to and the chef is very good.

04/12/2025: Avoid this dump like the plague. They advertise a 40% discount with The Fork, but then they only apply it to the chicken tagine and Pakistani appetizers (maximum 5 choices). They give you a receipt with the total price without specifying what customers chose, and therefore with ZERO TRANSPARENCY. It's truly disgraceful to work like this.

09/08/2025: The food is good, but let's just say they could work on the service and empathy. But I'll be back!

30/07/2025: The dishes are always fresh, freshly prepared, and the staff is always friendly. It's often become my go-to place for lunch, I recommend it! I also love their poke bowls 😍Keep it up, guys!

09/12/2025: A cute place with lots of animals for the kids. The food is a bit lacking considering the prices they offer. I was shocked by the price of water: 0.75 cl €3.75 I wouldn't go back.

30/11/2025: The staff were quite rude. We ate reasonably well, but it was cold because the restaurant is only heated in the center. When we asked to change our table, they told us it was all booked, but no one showed up. I wouldn't go back.

13/09/2025: Nice little place, not very big but clean. Very friendly staff. They mostly do arrosticini and cured meat appetizers, but that's what you come for. The arrosticini are good, as are the cured meats with bruschetta. Good wine. Recommended.

14/08/2025: Arrosticini just outside Ferrara! A welcoming place with a small upstairs dining room and an unexpectedly large downstairs dining room. Delicious arrosticini, paired with a good Abruzzo wine, and delicious bruschetta. Friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. A small outdoor space perfect for summer. We'll definitely be back!

07/11/2025: What can I say? Upon request, they made us pumpkin tortelli, which were truly delicious and plentiful. Then there was the excellent schiacciata with mixed cheeses, and finally, the exquisite dessert. It couldn't be better.

04/11/2025: Excellent choice for an evening with friends. The staff were super friendly and, despite the chaos we created, very good.

06/09/2025: Good thin pizza, just the way we like it. Simple, popular place with no frills. There were 10 of us and they were quick to order our pizzas. I recommend stopping by and eating at Idea Pizza. They're good, light, beautiful to look at, and inexpensive.

24/08/2025: We stopped at noon, discounted pizza menu for lunch, all good.

24/11/2025: Ciliegina Fish is the perfect place for seafood lovers. The wide selection of fish and other seafood dishes is immediately appealing. From appetizers to main courses, everything is tasty, fresh, and carefully prepared. The restaurant operates on a self-service basis, but everything is well-organized and the service is quick. The dishes are plentiful, beautifully presented, and made with quality ingredients. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is simple yet refined, ideal for a casual yet flavorful meal. An excellent experience for those looking for good seafood without breaking the bank. Recommended!

01/11/2025: Usually everything is good but not this time...the mussels were not good, maybe they were out of season but it would have been better to take them off the menu.

09/08/2025: The food is good, but let's just say they could work on the service and empathy. But I'll be back!

30/07/2025: The dishes are always fresh, freshly prepared, and the staff is always friendly. It's often become my go-to place for lunch, I recommend it! I also love their poke bowls 😍Keep it up, guys!

22/11/2025: Delicious food, especially the Tuscan with speck. Excellent and friendly service. All the desserts are excellent.

12/09/2025: Historic place, very cute and welcoming. The sandwiches are truly delicious. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

10/08/2025: The restaurant management has changed 3 times, and you can already see the difference! I've been there 3 times. The first time I saw on the order that my bill was €24.80, and at the cashier she told me it was €25, so 20 cents were taken for no reason. The second time, my bill was €30.10. I had no coins, and she absolutely didn't round it up to €30 (the first time she took an extra 20 cents for no reason, this time she'll round it up to 10 cents... no way). So, 30.10 cents. The last time, same situation, 28.80 cents, and yet she told me €29! Why...? It's not the cents, but that's not the way to treat customers, especially if it's new management and everything is done without a receipt. Then once, a free drink was €25, and now it's €35... Either there's a plum, or they don't know how to keep customers! If the bill is 24.80 and you don't even issue a receipt, round up to 24 and don't take money without reason, as many have already noticed this maneuver and ABSOLUTELY don't like it!

27/07/2025: Dal cambio gestione non c'è stata continuità nella qualità dei piatti. Ho mangiato Udon con carne alla piastra e verdure buoni al palato ma con quei sughi salati che non erano presenti nella cucina precedente. Il risultato è che ti stanno sullo stomaco fino al giorno dopo. Onestamente la prossima volta è meglio spendere 30€ nei posti vicini.

04/09/2025: Pumpkin cappellacci and half set menu Popular cuisine and super friendly staff

19/07/2025: Welcoming place and well-prepared dishes, business menu with various choices.

15/12/2025: Excellent traditional Ferrara restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff, a lovely atmosphere, and excellent food.

14/12/2025: We didn't even enter, they rudely told us that they had no room, never mind, I wanted to ask if there was room in the evening but nothing.

22/06/2025: Great pizza with light dough and quality ingredients. Excellent home delivery service!

19/06/2025: The pizza ingredients were of good quality, that much must be acknowledged. However, the pizza I received was a huge disappointment. I ordered a Neapolitan-style pan pizza with pulled dough, and I also paid the extra charge. Despite the pizzeria being very close to my home, the pizza arrived cold and in a “baby” size, much smaller than what I ordered and paid for. This is a serious problem because a cold pizza of an incorrect size completely compromises the experience and value of the order. I hope that the pizzeria takes more care in respecting customer requests, especially when extra charges are applied, and that it pays more attention to the quality of service and delivery.

09/11/2025: Thank you to the wonderful team of Ars e Labor Porotto! The team has an excellent customer service. After they made a mistake with our order, they sent us a new pizza and offered us a drink. That’s how you take care of your clients and keep them happy! Well done.

11/10/2025: Fantastic, helpful, and professional staff. I've never found anything better. Congratulations, guys, and thanks again.
