I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. From the moment you walk in, it'll be 5-star service, with really excellent food to accompany.
The menu is rich and creative, with twists on typical local and Italian dishes. We started with zucca-stuffed calamaro, which came on a cream made of chickpea - some of the best calamari I've ever had. I had spaghettoni alle vongole for my first course, a creamy, peppery, take on the original. My boyfriend had the gnocchetti and the veal cheek, which he said was excellent. For my second I had seafood crudités, which again were delicious and really high quality. To accompany our meal we chose a bottle of local Bosco Eliceo wine, dubbed a 'lively white' on the extensive wine menu. And for dessert, some small cannoli filled with mascarpone.
They provided amouse bouche both at the beginning and end of the meal, alongside excellent recommendations for amari (which they didn't charge for). Everything together came to 108 euros (for two sizeable appetizers, two firsts and one second, one dessert, a bottle of wine, two bottles of water, two coffees and two amari). It's expensive for Ferrara, but not for the quality of food and service we received. A really enjoyable time which I will repeat whenever in Ferrara, a really special place. The only thing I would say is to check in advance if you don't speak Italian, as I'm not sure there are English menus. Oh and make sure to book ahead as well. Five star food and service, thank you for an excellent afternoon once again!
