I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Ferrara

05/10/2025: Street-facing window, welcoming and professional staff, excellent pizza, efficient service... what more could you want?

15/09/2025: Good pizza from a charcoal oven, cheap for Italian standards

03/11/2025: I would have loved to try the dishes at this osteria... too bad it was closed on the day and time I booked! Even though Monday was listed as the closing day, I found the place closed on the Sunday evening of my reservation (photo attached), making it difficult to find a last-minute alternative. I'm happy to take your time, but I think it's essential to at least let them know.

01/11/2025: Interesting and well-prepared food in a quiet place, with very attentive (but not pushy) service.

04/02/2025: A marvel of courtesy and cuisine

17/11/2025: My family and I had lunch at this Osteria on Sunday, November 16th. When I made my reservation, I mentioned that I'm vegan, and Ruggero, the host, while emphasizing that their cuisine is traditional Ferrara and therefore wouldn't be able to offer me a wide variety of options, responded with kindness, courtesy, and willingness to find a solution that wouldn't overwhelm either the kitchen or me (as I think EVERY passionate restaurateur should do). Upon our arrival, Ruggero was thoughtful and attentive, making us feel welcome, and his mother even prepared me a double portion of polenta with porcini mushrooms as an appetizer! For the main course, a delicious plate of homemade potato gnocchi (tough, just like the ones my grandmother used to make) with a radicchio, onion, and butternut squash sauce...a dream! ALL ingredients that were on the menu, which they simply had to combine differently without betraying tradition or overturning the menu. Even though I haven't tried the local dishes, I can say that the cappellacci al ragù looked magnificent!

11/11/2025: Being accommodated in Venice we decided to spend one of the days in Ferrara. That day the weather was not with us and we were looking for a warm place to sit and talk and drink a coffee. We saw the sign of this Osteria and decided to enter. We were struck by the pure Italian spirit and the cheerful people who spoke wonderful Italian. The menus were in Italian and we had no idea what to order. A very nice gentleman came and gave us the desired directions, thus ordering the best veal we have ever eaten. Better even than the one in Florence. Thank you for the treat! You are wonderful!

19/10/2025: We ordered one pizza and one calzone classic. The calzone was lukewarm in the centre and the cheese wasn’t even melted. It was watery inside and quite unpleasant. The pizza was okay, nothing special. The service from the guy was not very friendly but the girl was nicer. The prices seem cheap but I’m sure there are better places to get pizza. We left disappointed.

17/10/2025: Was walking around to find a place for dinner and chanced upon this restaurant. Ordered the Cotoletta di lonza di maiale (Pork loin cutlet with baked potatoes) and was surprised by how delicious it was! The pork loin cutlet was crispy on the outside and tender, juicy on the inside and also, the baked potatoes are cooked perfectly. On top of it, the service here is excellent! Highly recommended!

26/10/2025: A unique experience with onion soup and pumpkin soup, accompanied by gourmet touches (cheese, amaretti biscuits, etc.). Highly recommended.

20/10/2025: Good address. Friendly server. Fair price. I recommend it!

01/11/2025: You eat too well, an area that has its own charm

28/10/2025: I've eaten there several times. The quality is always top-notch.

04/10/2025: We took a day trip to Ferrara and stopped here for lunch, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The pumpkin cappellacci, cod, and cutlet were exceptional. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

29/09/2025: 88€ for a couple (each one had a glass of wine, dessert, starter and a main) Wine was good, food was alright.

29/10/2025: Super friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food. Average prices. I highly recommend visiting.

30/09/2025: Informal place, thoughtful and attentive staff, good value for money.

14/10/2025: In the place, great service, good food

07/09/2025: Fast service and good managers, excellent quality products

30/11/2025: The quality of the dishes is beyond dispute, but we paid a very high price of €36 per person. And frankly, we don't understand how they arrived at that price... There were three of us, with three first courses, only two second courses, and dessert with only water, which was frankly too expensive. A serious flaw was the lack of a menu, which is required by law. You don't know which dishes are listed or how much they cost. I won't be returning.

27/11/2025: Recommended for a business dinner. Typical Ferrarese cuisine with excellent dishes and quality ingredients. Excellent service.

19/10/2025: Good food... top eel! Simple and characteristic atmosphere. Comacchio's history is here!!

09/10/2025: I chose this Osteria in the center of Comacchio on a recommendation, and it was an excellent dinner. We ordered a seafood appetizer, fried fish, and the Comacchio specialty, grilled eel, which we tried for the first time. Everything was excellent and tasty. To finish, we had sorbets and torta della nonna. Highly recommended.

17/11/2025: A lovely trattoria in the heart of the pedestrianized historic center. Typical Ferrarese menu with other good options. Everything is very good, but... The portions are really small, you risk leaving hungry... Too bad. Quick and efficient service. The price is high, but it always depends on the price and how much you eat. NOEMI increases the portions and everything will be perfect. Tourists, you have to try the Salamina con purée, it's very good, as are the cappellacci and cappelletti. It's always best to book... 👋

14/11/2025: Typical Ferrarese cuisine. Pizzini with cured meats, pumpkin ravioli with ragù, and the fabulous tenerina. Superb service. The waitress was lively and friendly. I highly recommend it.

16/11/2025: The atmosphere is welcoming and warm. The evening rooster menu is also available, as is the à la carte menu. The rooster is excellent. The sliced ​​steak is tasty and tender. The desserts are excellent. And the coffee is made with love. Good value for money. Evenings with music.

27/09/2025: Beautiful atmosphere in a very original location. Option to dine outdoors overlooking the lake or in the vineyard. Highly recommended.

15/11/2025: I highly recommend it to everyone, the food is excellent, Carmine is very good and what can I say, it's a shame that you can only give 5 stars but trust me it's worth 100, I will definitely be back...

09/11/2025: What can I say... I've called several times to make a reservation and for one reason or another we never manage to meet... on the third attempt for Sunday lunch we managed it. We are a family of 4: 2 adults and 2 children. We had a mixed lunch of Ferrara-style first courses and mixed fish dishes with appetizers and second courses. Everything was delicious and homemade. We finished, and I got up for the bill. The owner looked at me and said, "LUNCH IS ON US TO APOLOGIZE for the times we couldn't get you to dine with us!" Something that has never happened in 26 years of living in Ferrara. Unique and unrepeatable! THANK YOU THANK YOU! If you want to feel at home and eat hearty, tasty, and simple dishes, you can't go wrong. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! SEE YOU SOON, MAX YANEZ and Elisa 🥰 you left us with a great memory.
