OSTERIA DEL GHETTO

What a lovely experience this was. A little off the beaten path in Ferrara, maybe more of a local favourite than something tourists will typically seek out but definitely a place you'd regret missing. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with artwork on the wall and the old wooden ceiling above. I chose a melanzane as starter and tortellini in brodo for my main. Both were super tasty, made with care and passion. It's amazing how the food made me feel at home immediately. Service was friendly, quick and attentive. Tried my best at using Italian instead of English and they were very patient with my efforts. Much appreciated.

Absolutely amazing everything!!! We demolished everything in minutes 😃😃😃😃😃😃

Friendly and caring service and great food. My risotto with green peas was amazing, the grilled octopus as well. Leave some space for desserts!

Wonderful traditional osteria in the heart of pedestrian-friendly Ferrara. I had bookmarked this place and walked past it without any real interest. It looked quiet and empty a little before 20:00. We circled back and decided to see if we could eat here. Boy, are we glad we did. We ended up eating upstairs where the older proprietor personally waited on us. We let her recommend her specialities. Delicately fried anchovies … amazing! Butternut squash filled ravioli, one with the traditional butter & sage and one with Bolognese sauce … simply amazing. Their house dessert was outstanding. Great coffee followed by complimentary grappa. Such a great and affordable experience!

Restaurant serving dishes typical of Ferrara. I went for lunch and tried their tasting Menu for EUR 25 comprising local delicacies like cappellacci di zucca, salma da sugo and torta tenerina. The dishes tasted excellent, especially the pastas. The service was warm and friendly. The lady in charge of the restaurant looks after every customer personally. My only critisism is that for the prices charged, the portions could have been larger.

Super nice food. Attentive staff. Would live to have this osteria in my neighbourhood. Value for money.

I wanted to try all the specialities: the cappellacci, the saluma da sugo and the torta tenerina. I was dissappointed by none of them. Good value all round and very kind people.

Take the chance to dine at this amazing restaurant! All dishes were delicious, the menu had as many choices as one needs to have a full taste of the Italian cuisine. We loved the atmosphere and the staff was very polite and friendly.

Best pumpkin stuffed ravioli!!! Great service and ambience. Staff were amazing and offered the best recommendations.

The best fried anchovies in THE WORLD!!! Absolutely worth finding the place!! Small, quiet street. The restaurant is upstairs. The older women, a former French teacher, is a delight.. the Guinea Hen dish was a knockout. Both the stuffed raviolis (pumpkin or beef) were outstanding. And did I mention that they make the best fried anchovies in THE WORLD!!!
