Ca' d' Frara Trattoria Moderna

I found this place in the Michelin Guide. We ordered the traditional menu. The cured ham was good, but the real star at the start was the homemade bread — fresh and perfectly baked. The Cappellacci di Zucca Ferraresi, a pasta with pumpkin filling that’s hard to balance well, was absolutely perfect here. We also had the Salama da Sugo (IGP) with mashed potatoes — my favorite dish. The mash was the perfect match, softening the strong flavor of the Salama without overwhelming it. For dessert, we had the tiramisu, which was okay. The staff were super friendly and recommended a great local wine. If you want real traditional food made with quality ingredients, this is definitely a place to visit in Ferrara!

I had dinner here in early September and absolutely enjoyed every dish. However, one thing to note is that there’s no air conditioning—just open windows—so it can get quite warm and humid inside, especially with no breeze. Something to keep in mind if you're dining on a hot day. The service is decent, but don’t expect fine dining—they keep it very causal. The wine list is bit a underwhelming and overpriced. I highly recommend the gnocco fritto with prosciutto, and the capelletti in parmesan sauce with truffle shavings is a must-try. The steak tartare was okay, though not particularly memorable. The portions are generous, so if you're not a big eater, an appetizer and one main dish should be enough. We ordered both a primi and a secondi each after sharing the gnocco fritto and couldn’t finish everything. Enjoy your meal!

Visited for lunch as part of a tour group. Service was good and fast and each dish was explained. We had a puffed savory pastry with prosciutto, a salad with pureed pumpkin, a tortoloni stuffed with pumpkin, a slice of pork loin with potatoes and a slice of locally cured pork, and dessert: a light chocolate cake with vanilla cream.

The food is excellent. The pasta is homemade. The speed is offchart. Service is very professional. Decent wine choice at the glass

What a Christmas lunch! Everything was perfect, from the atmosphere to the service and the food. We have been here also for the cappellacci in the past and were never disappointed. Until next time!

I chose tradizioni ferrarese , salami was good with fry bread, cappellacci di zucca was really delicious ottimo , but the 'salama' was supere salty and strange taste ,I ate only a bit because the taste is really awful . The dessert was so so and they didn't gave us crema fritta as they wrote on the menu . The waitress were super nice and professional , but the lady who stayed at the cashier was snob and her attitude was really bad( but she seems nice with other Italians people, I don't know why) .I won't go to this restaurant again even suggest to my friends .

Incredible place for a delicious dinner. This is a restaurant in a little road in ferrare. The cuisine is so typical and delicious. Don't hesitate if you are in Ferrare

The set “Ferrara” menu is really worth it. You get a varied and delicious taste of local dishes. They also have a great range of natural wines!
