This place is really the real deal. Authentic, Ferrara cuisine that is made with love is something…read moreworth seeking out. We had eaten here 15 years ago and stumbled upon it again. This time, there is a Michelin sign up, but that wasn't the motivation to go. It was because we remembered the pumpkin ravioli with sage and amaretto cookie, the fresh pasta with black truffle, and the wonderful, authentic vibe of this place. It's a busy place, and the elegance is just enough when paired with the working class traditional cuisine. It's a special place. And, it is tucked away in the cute medieval quarter of Ferrara. Transport yourself back and eat the way it was meant to be. Wonderful.

The staff was exceptionally friendly and spoke multiple languages fluently. They gave us a run down of the menu: over a hundred 'small' sandwiches! We ipted for an Italian and a Spanish set of 5 sandwiches each and they were amazing. We also got the fried potatoes which were excellent. Finally we got an order of the calamari and a Caesar salad. The calamari and salad were ok but if you are coming to a sandwich shop you should get their sandwiches! Overall we had a fantastic experience and likely will revisit the shop before we leave Ferrara

The interior is nicely cooled and appropriately decorated and the service is fast. One recommendation: save room for the Tagliatelle Cake (sounds weird having a cake made with pasta) but it's delicious - particularly if you like the flavor of almond liquors (e.g.: Disaronno). Think of it as a coffee crumble cake but with almond liquor instead and a crunchy nutty topping instead of coffee cake crumbles.
