I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Ferrara

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!

01/10/2025: How dare you call it a pizza for the modest sum of €7.50, and then when I asked about the price, he replied, "We're not a takeaway pizzeria, you pay €4 or €5." Dear lady, with your attitude and friendliness, you should be washing dishes for takeaway pizza makers.

01/10/2025: Pizza full of oil, plasticky mixed fried food, pasta with ragù like the ready-made one from the star... to be avoided

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.

13/09/2025: Terrible service, poorly made Americano and even worse poured beer.

06/08/2025: During my recent visit to Sbirro Gastrotheque, I had the opportunity to experience courteous and attentive service, albeit with a slight delay in execution. Nonetheless, the staff stood out for their customer care. As for the culinary offering, the dish ordered proved to be average in both quality and presentation. The atmosphere deserves particular mention: creative, distinctive, and capable of making the experience pleasantly unique. It should also be noted that, in relation to the service and quality provided, the price-to-quality ratio appeared personally elevated when compared to expectations

27/09/2025: There are no words to describe this evening's dinner... Let's start with the food: bland and tasteless fish, poor quality and quantity. Service was intermittent and inattentive. But let's get to the worst part: the rudeness and disrespect. Well, there were about ten children present with their parents, and I want to emphasize that some of them were close relatives of the owners. These children screamed, ran between the tables, and disturbed every other customer in the room, right before the eyes of the owners and their parents, who did not intervene in any way. This disrespect toward customers is unacceptable. I think it would have been enough to reserve the entire room for relatives and accept fewer reservations to ensure everyone's respect. But money is tempting...at any cost!!!

24/09/2025: 70's style, welcoming atmosphere, good food

29/05/2025: I would say the place is excellent, good pizzas, good grills, very kind owner, always available

28/05/2025: Very tasty pasta and steak, very nice gentleman, professionalism and atmosphere 😉

16/08/2025: We ate here a week ago. A disaster. I booked over the phone and was served an hour later (and we even turned down some dishes because they weren't ready). I was told to check the menu on the website before booking, but once there, the prices were significantly higher than those on the website (published two months earlier). As for the quality of the food... I won't comment because I don't want to offend anyone. The lady who runs it probably needs a hand, given that I've seen customers (very annoyed by the wait times) and she can't handle them optimally. Don't expect table service. A disaster!

11/08/2025: The first impression doesn't inspire lunch: worn plastic tables facing the street, an empty display case. Then I discover that the owner is also the chef and cooks everything freshly. The fish menu: delicious spaghetti with clams (plenty) and excellent fried fish with chips. Water. Total: €15... super fair. The setting is a €1.50 cover charge, considering you eat on a disposable placemat and with plastic cutlery and cups (I would have opted for the €16 menu with no cover charge), but the four stars are well deserved.

31/10/2025: I went to this location to pick up a medium-sized surprise bag with the ToGoodToGo app. Very disappointed. It contained two bottles of organic juice and a bag of mini chocolate eggs. They don't seem to be end-of-day products as per the description and attached photo.

18/09/2025: Coffee can't be bad in Italy and I've always had a croissant in Italy so far. But the croissant crema I got with my coffee didn't even fly past the crema. A little cream on top for decoration and the rest is dry. The worst croissant in all of Italy in decades. And I'll just respond to the owner's response. I really thought and wrote a review for Central Bar. And a croissant crema is a croissant with "custard" everywhere in Italy, maybe not in your country, but everywhere else! As far as I know, I haven't written about a croissant with cream anywhere. If you don't know what a croissant crema looks like, go and see the café next door, La Piccola Pasticceria, they have delicious ones there

04/10/2025: Looking for a place to eat a piadina, we chose this place. From the photos, we couldn't tell it was fully open, and since it was a cold and humid September evening, we asked if we could find a sheltered spot inside, and they were very helpful and quickly set one up. They told us what was available, and we opted for a piadina with traditional porchetta and a bottle of traditional beer. While we waited, we chatted pleasantly with the owner. When the piadinas arrived, we hungrily tucked into them. Both the filling and the flatbread were superb. We then ordered two coffees and two Baileys. We left when the place closed, happy with what we had eaten and spent—€30.80—and with the laughs we had with the owners. Oh, and our setter had been trying all night to make friends with the local cat, but without success. 🤣

16/09/2025: We had a great time. The aperitifs are excellent, the prosecco is good quality, the piadinas and burgers are truly special. The management is serious and professional, friendly without being vulgar. Well done!

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

07/07/2025: I was at the stand in Darsena... Poor food proposals and rude staff to say the least. I want to emphasize that my name is not Elisabetta and that the comment written in response to my review does not correspond at all to my experience! I was at your place last week with my partner! I would say that your response does nothing but confirm the rudeness mentioned above. Congratulations, nice confirmation.

11/08/2025: Cleaning ok, old rooms a little sad, breakfast with packaged products and coffee pods.

15/10/2025: I go for breakfast with friends. The pastries are excellent, but the savory options aren't. The place is small and always crowded, making it difficult to converse without raising your voice. The staff isn't always friendly.

07/10/2025: A spit of cream in the croissant, high prices, I won't go back there again

08/04/2025: La lentezza nel servizio, in particolare da quando è gestita da due ragazzi con accento meridionale, è a dir poco irritante.

05/04/2025: My favorite bar/pastry shop in Ferrara! In addition to the excellent quality and goodness of every single thing to eat, the staff is splendid. I highly recommend if you want to have a sublime breakfast

24/06/2025: Mi sono trovato malissimo: sono andato ad aprile e mi hanno messo in un tavolo di fronte alla cucina, quel giorno probabilmente c’è stato un problema alla cucina ma comunque è inaccettabile sentire le lamentele della capocuoca, anche perché essendo così vicino si sentiva tutto. Ci hanno chiesto cosa volevamo da mangiare 10 minuti dopo che avevamo già scelto, e li già ho capito che qualcosa non andava, dopo altri 10 minuti sono arrivati con l’acqua che mi chiedo cosa c’era di difficile a prenderla dal frigo e portarla. Il cibo è arrivato dopo 1 ora, neanche fosse un ristorante stellato. Alla fine il cibo era discreto ma non meritava tutto quel tempo. Di sicuro sono andato in un giorno sbagliato ma comunque consiglio di migliorare l’organizzazione.

21/06/2025: Abbiamo mangiato veramente benissimo: due antipasti, sarde in saor e carpaccio di gamberi rossi di mazara. Primo: strozzapreti con pesce spada, pomodorini secchi, menta e melanzane. Anche il dolce: nuvola di ricotta con miele e noci tritate sopra. Tutto buonissimo, ristorantino super consigliato!

23/10/2025: I had an aperitif with my partner, and along with the spritz, a nice plate of pasta was brought as an aperitif. Delicious

20/10/2025: An elegant café, but run with a lot of nervousness from those working the register and making coffee during peak traffic. We also came for aperitivo, and the evening staff was definitely better. The food could be improved, as the aperitivo arrived cold.
