A very impressive castle surrounded by the greenest water I’ve ever seen. Located just at the entrance of Ferrara medieval beautiful down town. What makes it more perfect is that it is absolutely free of charge, no entrance fee, no packed tourists. Just for you to enjoy it by yourself…

The castle it’s absolutely stunning! I am surprised that this is not known even more to general public. Everything about it is amazing! Worth stopping by for a one day.

Haven't been inside the castle but the exterior leaves you with the impression of time travel, exquisitely maintained.

neat castle, layout and history. Fun tour, great veiws of Ferrara from the top of the tower. The frescos the are left are great. some have incredible detail.

A moated medieval castle in the center of Ferrara, northern Italy. It consists of a large block with four corner towers.

Every city or town has its iconic monuments, etc. I like to visit small towns instead of big cities. Ferrara is a unique, small town.

Impressive castle right in the center of Ferrara — surrounded by a moat and full of history.

Their booking website looks like it came straight out of the .com bubble… circa 1998. I took the photo from booth 16, seat 5. 35 Euros. it’s insane that they sell those seats, you can see 1% of the left side. No warning on the website. cashgrab During the break I explained one of the attendants the situation and they were able to help and find a better seat. Feedback for venue: you got to mark those angled back seats as low visibility so people are aware of what they buy. Even better, look at LA Disney Hall’s booking system that shows the seat point of view.

Beautiful!! Have some pictures about the concerts and is pretty amazing the architecture

Good concert venue in the old style, seating mainly in boxes rising up around the stage, not the most comfortable seating if you are in the second row of a box as you are in a high chair.

Spendido

Pity can't get a ticket for Vulcan on Nov 26 2015. Great theatre.

1800 EU style acting theater! Acustics r fine for Opera plays n music

Nice place for the location as well as the spectacles proposed.

Nice reataurant with Italian food. It is very large, with a lot of tables.

The place is centrally located serving customers in 3 different areas which makes it unique. The area in the square may be surrounded by pots with green bushes creating a refreshing atmosphere but also infested with pigeons flying and walking around. The staff were unfriendly. We had to call them 4 times. We were served at a table full of bread crumbs; they didn't bother to clean it. But that's not all. The panino we ordered was stale...as if we weren't paying for it. Still regret eating there. Once you leave the square and head for the castle you'll be spoilt for choice.

Absolutely wanted to try the local specialty called Pampetato and did it at Leon d’Oro with a nice cup of coffee. Even though this not the most delicate pastry on earth it tastes quite good and makes the perfect quick break for a long day around Ferrara. Will come back to try the torta tenerina!

Had a good experience here as it was relatively empty given the rain. Servers were friendly and helpful for the tourist in me! Thank you Letizia for your kind introductions to the food and attentiveness! Tried the pasticchio di maccheroni with sweet crust and it was not bad although I was not quite used to the contrast. Food was hot and the sauce inside is slightly reminiscent of a mac and cheese. Good location and decent prices!

beautiful environment, the service is very accurate

Open already at 7 a.m. +++ Pasticceria ++ Delicious Croissants ++ See the main baker ! And come in late afternoon for a drink. Very enjoyable place, well run ! Nice !

Sat for 30 minutes after being sat, no one acknowledged us, even after politely trying to get the servers attention. 10/10 do not recommend. We weren’t in a hurry, but other tables were sat after us, and served before us. We literally left without anyone ever speaking to us.

Others have given a quite detailed review so will not repeat all the details again. I think the two things to note are: 1) On a hot day this is the perfect refuge for a while. and 2) the interior is beautiful. We have visited many many churches and cathedrals in Italy and across Europe and this stands with the best of them. Admission is free.

It is now under restoration, the process and studies of which are exhibited, nice to be in a working restoration site. Interesting stuff how medieval architecture is hidden underneath what is currently visible and material issues they are encoutering, info in italian mostly though

This was second time we visited Ferrara. Unfortunately the tower is under renovation, but this time we visited the interior. There was no entrance fee. I was really impressed by how much history is packed into this cathedral. It was first built in the 1100s, and you can see the features of different architecture through time—from the Romanesque arches at the bottom of the façade to the Gothic details above. The bell tower was designed in the Renaissance by Alberti, and the inside is full of Baroque art and decoration. Even the tomb of Pope Urban III is there, which adds to the impotrance of this place. It is a bit dark inside though. I would definitely recommend visiting!

Beautiful church and basilic in the center of Ferrare ! Build in 12th century this church is dedicated to St-Georges (the saint protector of the city) This church is huge and so beautiful! Highly recommended to visit

Beautiful Cathedral, dedicated to St. George. It is located in the historic center opposite the Palazzo Municipale (Town Hall). The sacredness, the majesty and the beauty of the decorations and the frescoes leaves us breathless. The cathedral of Ferrara dates from the 12th century and bears witness to the historical periods of the city. The outstanding facade, divided into three sections, was begun in Romanesque style, still visible in the lower part. The facade is rich in scenes from the New Testament above the central door, the work of the sculptor Nicholaus (1135). The upper part was built some decades later in a Gothic style and besides the numerous small arches and the splayed mullioned windows presents an extraordinary Last Judgment by an unknown sculptor over the central loggia. The imposing Renaissance campanile (Bell tower), in pink and white marble, is an unfinished work attributed to Leon Battista Alberti. The interior of the church is rich in murals, paintings and sculptures by renowned Renaissance masters such as Nicolò Baroncelli and Domenico di Paris (bronze statues of the Crucifixion and of Saints George and Maurilius), Guercino (splendid canvas of the Martyrdom of St Lawrence), Bastianino (grandiose Last Judgment). The interior of the cathedral was rebuilt in 1712 in Baroque style. During our visit it was under reconstruction, but it does not diminish the splendor of the Cathedral. It is possible to enter the Cathedral at certain times.

A beautiful church. The colours in the church are braun and grey. Many prayer altars. Very impressive. Wörth a visit.

The museum is worth it, especially going to the top. Lots of interesting things to see and learn, well run.

I really want to like this place, because it has a simple no fuss menu of local foods, nice interior. Obviously they get a lot of visitors for it's historic significance. The staff are a bit reserved, but polite, really no complaints. But the food is an utter disappointment. The Ragu was bad, the tortellini were passable. Polenta was, well, just a block of polenta. No meat and even the beans were far in between, two chips of carrots .. it's kinda not expensive for a restaurant, but considering all you get is basically a side dish, it is expensive.

Allegedly the oldest wine bar that has been continuously operating since 1435. With seating both inside and out it is quirkily designed with various musical instruments hanging from the wall along with numerous bottles from years gone by. We went in the afternoon and there was some wild jazz playing that added to the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and very helpful in helping you select a suitable wine. A wide range was sold by the glass which as at June 25 was €5. If you are a wine lover this is a must to visit. We enjoyed it a lot.

Looked interesting while waking by. Saw quite a few people enjoying drinks and some food. Decided to stop for birra, vino, and some cold cuts. Super glad we did. Great staff and service. The drinks and food were better than any that we have tried in the States. And this was just 'normal, daily' stuff in Italy!

Service was good, wine was good, beer was the worst beer we ever had, the food was OK - but nothing wow..

Nice location for a little lunch during a day trip to Ferrara. Mushroom salad was great and good portion. Pumpkin-stuffed pasta with Ragu sauce was also very good. But the best thing about this place is the vibe and the interior.

Very nice staff and atmosphere, great for a nice and light lunch. Fair prices and a big selection of wine

Today my wife and I visited the old Winebar Al Brindisi in Firrera, where we enjoyed a good local Ferrare-wine. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the bar premises were very special (in a good way) - very cozy and full of atmosphere. I would love to come back.

Great shop for tools and installation material

Big hardware store in the outskirts of town, need a car to reach but good parking facility. Good selection of items, quite popular and subject to rush hour crowds during which it is hard to get service and attention form the local staff. I usually try there after my first stop in a small shop in town but before a full online search.

Went Saturday the 8th of July 2022 in Ferrara looking for some components required for a maintenance I've been carrying on. Found a clerk a kindly ask if they had them getting as answer some grumbled words I couldn't understand. I asked again making the clerk angry barking something like "I told you we don't have, how many time must I tell you? We don't have!". Even though not happy and especially negatively shocked I thanked him looking then for someone else. Found another clerk I asked her it they had those components and the answer was "we'd have something somewhere, try to find them by yourself". Perhaps I was unlucky going to that shop the day the most offered products given for free were both the rudeness and the unkindness, but I must say never ever again!

You will find everything you need. But don't simply depend on the help of the salesmen there. Very often the place is so huge that they too do not know of everything that you CAN find there. Ask like 5 different salesmen for the thing you are looking for, if one doesn't know.

The staff is not competent. In the informacion don't know how to do the tax-free right. We go to Rimini and they do correct.

My happy place...

A complete store for all your needs in DIY. Prices are good and employees kind and professional. Recommended.

The steak was amazing cooked perfectly. The ribs just fell of the bone and was so tasty, the chips could of been a little hotter. The wine was lovely. Friendly service. Lovely atmosphere.

Great modern restaurant in Ferrara city centre. The food is super tasty and there’s a lot of choice (even some vegetarian options). The location is also beautiful and the staff very friendly and helpful. I particularly loved the artisanal beer and the dessert! Totally recommended.

This is the kind of place where if you make any criticism, they laugh and doubt you instead of just accepting your opinion. Completely unprofessional. They blame the customer in every situation, do not spend your money here, go elsewhere. A real professional restaurant would never blame the customer publicly. Sad. 1 star. Any restaurant in decline will always blame the customer. You will see by how they react to other customers in these reviews, including telling people to visit the dentist. Absolutely UNPROFESSIONAL.

Lovely helpful waitress. A new GF menu that is celiac level GF. I tried the guinea fowl, it was just OK. Fries are different here, more like a cross between chips and fries. Pulled pork was ok but sauce too sweet for me.

Top class Steak House, great eye for details, interior architecture, bathroom hygiene, and above all: high quality products. The Lab isn't even more expensive than the 2nd best restaurant in town. Big recommendation for the meat lovers. ❤👍

Definitely it’s a must stop in Ferrara Delicious food like really completely fusion money with amazingly tasty food we loved all the food we order the tartare was one of the best we ever tried with black truffle The waiters are very polite and attentive The restaurant itself it’s very modern Definitely going back It’s worth the try

Beem here 3 times the last 2 years. Excellent. Different dishes to choose from, good advice

Very nice place, nice staff. Good atmosphere, plenty of drinks. Bartender skilled.

Good for drinks at night.

Nice place !

This is Ponte

(Translated by Google) The place itself is very beautiful at the foot of the cathedral, and the staff is friendly, but the prices are out of proportion. I'll go elsewhere. (Original) Il posto in sé è molto bello ai piedi della cattedrale e personale gentile ma prezzi fuori da ogni ragione. Andrò altrove

(Translated by Google) As a Ferrarese, I am increasingly disappointed to find yet another place full of people who don't know how to do their job, who don't know how to behave with customers: ordered 3 wines, of the 2 with bubbles, one was out of gas. The bartender denied it... Annoyed she opened a new bottle (given the price of a glass, one expects quality wine).. I asked for some appetizers and with difficulty (saying that the kitchen wasn't there... Ok, just say it in the right way!) he literally "threw" some chips and peanuts onto the table... (Original) Da ferrarese, sempre più dispiaciuta di trovare l'ennesimo locale di persone che non sanno fare il loro lavoro, che non sanno fare a comportarsi con i clienti: ordinati 3 vini, dei 2 con bolle uno era sgasato. La barista ha negato... Indispettita ha aperto una nuova bottiglia ( visto il prezzo di un calice, ci si aspetta vino di qualità).. Chiesto qualche stuzzichino e a fatica ( dicendo che la cucina non era lì.. Ok, basta dirlo coi dovuti modi!) ci ha letteralmente "lanciato" sul tavolo delle patatine e arachidi...

(Translated by Google) Monday 22 July at approximately 8.15pm. They tell us that there is no table service. Ordered three glasses, one of which was Franciacorta (7 or 8 euros, the exact cost escapes me) but served completely out of gas at the counter.. I ask for clarification, assuming it was the bottom of some bottle but, completely annoyed, the operator shows us that the bottle is still half full (probably opened at Easter). With even worse disappointment he opens a new one to finally be able to serve me a long-awaited aperitif with bubbles.. We finally dared to ask for some chips to munch on and the same operator, angry about the request to change the decarbonized glass, literally threw them on the table... A pretty face is not always synonymous with professionalism and hospitality. 👎🏿 (Original) Lunedì 22 Luglio ore 20:15 circa. Ci anticipano che servizio al tavolo non cè. Ordinato tre calici di cui uno di Franciacorta (7 o 8 euro mi sfugge il costo esatto) ma servito a bancone totalmente sgassato.. Chiedo chiarimento presumendo fosse il fondo di qualche bottiglia ma totalmente istizzita l'operatrice ci mostra che la bottiglia è ancora a metà (aperta probabilmente a Pasqua). Con ancor peggio disappunto ne apre una nuova per potermi finalmente servire un tanto agoniato aperitivo con le bollicine.. Abbiamo infine azzardato a chiedere qualche patatina da sgranocchiare e la stessa operatrice, inviperita circa la richiesta di cambio calice sgassato, ce le ha letteralmente lanciate sul tavolo.. Un bel visino non è sempre sinonimo di professionalità ed accoglienza. 👎🏿

I visited Retrobottega Travagli in May'25 without any expectations, just because I liked its location - overlooking inner court. And it didn't disappoint. The location is nice, the staff is polite and helping, and the food was amazing. Oh! And one of the best Apperol Spritz I have tried. I would gladly visit again if I ever come back to Ferrara.

A real discovery in the courtyard of honour, next to the Comune building. Amazing food (had porchetta roll with fresh chillies) and a lovely spritz. Charming staff and great messages on the wall! Well worth a visit.

Good wine and meat for decent price. We enjoyed the dinner here and drinks.

Personnel very warming and efficient. Location is fantastic and you cant miss the small sandwiches filled with mortadella directly from the co-located butcher! The gourmet sandwiches from the menu are enjoyable as well. Bottom line, you have to grab an aperitivo here if you visit Ferrara. Dont forget, better to book the table on the phone.

Great was service. Prices are diverse so everyone can choose. Recommend

Super

(Translated by Google) Fresh from a double glass of wine with a friend, a little spot becomes available next to the entrance. I approach the wall, intending to lean on it and then sit on the stool, only to be slammed down by an employee and a guy. "I'm sorry, but I have to give this table to other guys who are also eating," I'm forced to say, not that I have any postural issues from not being able to enjoy a glass of wine standing up, but if I've consumed my wine with my friend, how can I not have the right to sit down before a customer who has yet to consume his? I'll tell you, based on the customer who apparently consumes the most. It all seemed so out of place, that's all. Kind regards (Original) Reduce da un doppio calice di vino con un amico, si libera un posticino di fianco all’ingresso, mi avvicino al muro con intento di appoggiarmi per poi sedermi sullo sgabello, freddato da un dipendente con un ragazzi, mi dispiace ma devo dare questo tavolino ad altri ragazzi che mangiano pure, al che mi viene da dire, non che soffra di qualche problema posturale dal non poter godermi un calice di vino in piedi, ma se ho consumato, assieme al mio amico, come posso non aver il diritto di sedermi ancor prima di un cliente che deve ancora consumare? Ve lo dico io, sulla base del cliente che consuma di più a quanto pare. È sembrato tutto così fuori luogo, tutto qui. Un caro saluto

Good experience in the center of Ferrara. The whole team is really motivated and passionate. The chef offers a elaborated cuisine, maybe too much focused on the technique instead of the taste. The service is really professional, maybe a bit too much sometimes with very long explanations. The restaurant is modern, smart and with a welcoming atmosphere. I think the Michelin star could come at some point, if they "simplify" a bit the tastes and try to stimulate more the emotions instead of showing the technique behind.

I recently visited Makorè in Ferrara with four friends, and the experience was exceptional. Our group included both Italian and English speakers, but communication was effortless—the staff spoke perfect English, which made everything smooth and welcoming. The menu offers excellent value. In addition to the selected dishes, we were treated to welcome bites and extra small tastings that highlighted the chef’s creativity. The desserts were a true highlight—so beautifully presented that we almost felt guilty eating them, yet every bite was incredible. Overall, Makorè delivers an outstanding combination of quality, service, and value. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a refined yet unique Italian dining experience in Ferrara.

One of the best Michelin stars restaurant I have ever been into. The personnel was simply amazing with all the stories about the items from the tasting menu. The taste of the food speaked for itself. Just ignore the negative comments, those people don't understand what is fine dining

One of if not the best seafood restsurant I have ever visited. Staff were professional, very friendly and very informative. The food was excellent and the wine devine. Not too pricey for a special night out. So happy.

Excellent service, sophisticated but not exuberant, very professional although friendly, elegant and cosy atmosphere. The food is a proper journey through the excellent gastronomic realities of several Italian locations, all well explained ... a journey of taste, where the quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the chefs are expressed at the highest level, with a carful attention to the needs of the clients. Strongly recommended

Best service ever! We were treated like royalty. Food was art for the mouth, flavors and presentation were beautiful! Everything was amazing! Highly recommend for fine dining.

One of the best seafood restaurants I have been to, the food, wine and service was excellent. We had the tasting, which proved a good value for money. Highly recommended!

Went to this restaurant for my anniversary as my wife and I were passing through the area on vacation. The service and food were good with one exception. We were advised by the server to have a rib eye steak. We didn't get a rib eye steak but we're charged for one. Left a bad taste with us as a result.

My family and I were fortunate to meet Simona A. from Ipercoop hypermarket from Castello Centro Commerciale who was so kind and helpful in helping us to book a taxi ride back to our hotel accommodation on 30 Jun 2024, 1600 hours. Due to our inability to speak Italian, we were facing issues to book a taxi back to our hotel from the shopping mall. Hence, meeting Simona A. and being able to obtain her immense help for the taxi booking was comforting to us:) Thank you Simona A!

Good shopping experience, but they didn’t have a lot of brands available

Il Castello is a nice shopping center nearby Ferrara. You will find everything you need here. Clothing, shoes, perfume and so on. A lot of the big Brands are there like Zara, Geox and so on. Nice and friendly staff and also a lot off places to take a quick lunch.

Big shopping centre

I like the food court there, this mall is very convenient

Conveniently locate near a major crossroads, it has most of the basic needs covered. It perhaps lacks a dedicated Electornics store while other are just redundant. Food court is reasonable in choice and rather high in quality. Various vendor stands rotate in the halls, sporting now an Amazon automatic pickup point.

If you just want to see the artefacts excavated at Spina, this is the place for you. They are plentiful and amazing. Also a beautiful building! But if you want context and background to go with the objects, it's not so great. Also, the only place in all of Ferrara where I couldn't pay by card, so I had to go get cash, which was quite annoying as the neareat ATM is pretty far away. But if you have the MyFe card it's fine (mine ran out the day before).

Located in a wonderful palace, this museum is very old museologically. The collection amazing though. Do not miss. Just be ready to walk in a book and use google translate

Spectacular collection of beautiful pottery items from the ancient settlement of Spina. Building housing the collection is lovely too. A must see for archeology fans and not only!

This is the best archeological museum in this trip, so far (went to Venice and Bologna). Museums with this large amount of items tend to become an overwhelming warehouse or a careless highlight show without any educational intention (iykyk). But the Ferrara museum is well curated (multi media, tireless explanation, English translation, the giant "Spina book"...), takes its pace and tells an intriguing story of Spina. Plus it only coats €8. I found here again the joy from last year in Rome. The palace itself is beautiful, with a garden which I’m sure is even more stunning in spring. The staff are also friendly, helping me find moved exhibits.

Exceptional Etruscan museum. Great size - it’s not huge but the number of artifact surprised me and the preservation was astounding. Also, it’s housed in a gorgeous palace and has very nice gardens. I’m very glad I visited.

Great museum. Funny organization and the videos were not working. But in this off season we had the place to ourselves to view the finds from 4,000 Etruscan tombs from Spina.

It's okay. Free admission because we were under 25 (or maybe because we are students? Not sure). However, the collection did not seem unique to us. It's mainly vases and paintings. Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful. But after having seen quite a few museums in Italy, this one did not seem to offer anything new to our experience. There were barely any other visitors, despite it being August.

I didn't take any photos as it seemed somewhat insensitive. The museum gives an interesting glimpse into Italian Judaism over the centuries. It's main focus in my opinion seems to relate to the interaction of the Jewish community on foreign soil, with the ever changing political landscape. There are two main buildings with exhibitions and multimedia displays. As someone with little knowledge of Jewish life (other than from the 20th century) it was quite informative and interesting. Obviously the most moving and relatable elements are those that happened from 1938 onwards. And this is well represented in a black and white short documentary following the lives of two fictitious families from WW1 . A fact I was not aware of was the support by Italian Jews during Mussolini's walk to Rome in 1922. Maybe this should be reflected upon in today's political climate. Sadly the overall message of us all 'living in harmony' seems a lost hope in 2025. Whatever your beliefs or faith this museum provides on interest perspective on a particular slice if history.

Beautiful museum, showcasing a rich history of struggle, loss persecution and destruction but with a focus on hope and unity.

Fascinating history of the Jews and Italy. Beautifully laid out with a fun Kosher garden maze. I put 3 not 5 stars simply because it is such a specific museum and so may not appeal to everyone. Though I think you'd be missing a trick not to visit this fascinating museum.

I’ve been to quite a few museums of this type, and thought this was one of the best ones I have seen. The exhibition about the first millennium of Jewish life in Italy is well-presented (in English and in Italian) with a careful choice of objects that are well-explained. There are some more detailed “interview” videos scattered throughout with experts (rabbis, professors, archaeologists) giving insights and nuance. The artist’s section is beautiful and very moving without being schmaltzy or naive. The 30-minute video linking Jewish life in medieval Italy to the present day was excellent, with a great choice of images and a really clear story to follow. It managed to convey a lot in a short time and differentiated between political and religious bases for anti-Semitism (something I hadn’t known about).

Learned a fair amount, but found the exhibits a bit skimpy for the price (by Italy standards). Situated in a somewhat featureless neighborhood.

An incredible experience. This should not be missed. A 1 hour trip by train from Florence. 5 min cab ride from the station. Well designed and fascinating history.

Nice museum at national level. The location keep being expanded, and hosts various cultural initiatives and celebrations relative to historical Judaism in Italy. Located in the southern edge of town, near some parking lots, it is easy to reach.

We did our walk round the city walls in two parts. The first, late evening, we did approximately one quarter (which I didnt document). The second, the following morning we completed the rest. We set off at about 6:45 as the weather was extremely hot. We set off from San Giovanni, and concluded at the railway station at about 9:00 am. So a relatively relaxed pace. The first things to note are: It would appear, ou can take 1 of 2 routes. One on the outside of the walls, and on the walls itself. There are breaks in the walls somewhere they nonlonger exist and others under reconstruction. Some parts are fenced off for safety reasons. Where these breaks occur the tourist map is not overly helpful. The two main locations we had difficulty pick up the path were at Bagniducali, and the section near the Aquaadtto. I also imagine that picking up The route the other side of the train station could be difficult but we had arrived at that location the night before. The route we took was mostly tree lined. Giving some much appreciated shade for the walk. Unlike some city walls we have walked i.e. Lucca the view of the town is very modern and lacks a certain charm. However the walk itself is very pleasant. If you are in Ferrara for a few days then this is a welcome change from the usual churches and museums. Concluding at the station was good as there is a really nice cafe/bar located in a small park to grab a much needed cappuccino.

Worth doing. Clocks in at exactly 10k. Most of the way there are two or more paths, so you can usually stay in the shade. Many locals jogging and cycling some stretches (North and East). It's not always possible to walk right on top of the wall. It disappears completely at one short stretch (somewhere between Porta Paola and Giardino) but it's all part of the fun.

real nice nature retreat, relaxed walking, jogging or biking

Beautiful, peaceful retreat from town. Great for nature - I hear a nightingale at dusk !

Nice place to walk by

Lovely to walk or cycle along. I recommend the northern and northeastern sections especially.

The former city wall before the Po was regulated to gain land. Now it is a place to walk your dog.

Excellent piadine in the food court of the shopping centre. Fast service, nice selection of fresh piadine prepared on the spot. My favourite place among local food vendors.

If you're looking for a quick bite this place has reasonable prices and tasty piadine

(Translated by Google) Excellent customer service, excellent, very courteous staff, perfect communication in English and German! Everything perfect!! Delicious piadinas!! Absolutely appreciated! Service also in German!! (Original) Ottimo Servizio Clienti, Personale Eccellente Molto Cortese, Perfetta Comunicazione in Inglese, e in Lingua Tedesca! Tutto Perfetto!! Buonissime Piadine !! Absolut zu empfehlen! Service auch in Deutsche Sprache !!

(Translated by Google) The piadina is very good, especially the rolled version. The staff is always friendly and professional. Service is quite fast, even when it's busy. The shopping center's Cortile del Gusto is understandably noisy. (Original) La piadina è molto buona, soprattutto quella arrotolata. Il personale è sempre gentile e professionale. Il servizio è piuttosto veloce anche quando c'è molta gente. La corte del gusto del centro commerciale è rumorosa, come è comprensibile.

(Translated by Google) We waited 12 minutes without being acknowledged by the staff, and everything was taken back to the back kitchen. We were finally acknowledged and ordered chicken rolls. They explained to us that the "regular" chicken was out and that it had to be replaced with the paprika version. Very good. Finally, the cashier specified, "Obviously, with an additional charge to be paid by you." When I objected (I hadn't requested an upgrade), I was told there was nothing she could do. I'll eat somewhere else. Absurd. Never again. (Original) Attesa di 12 minuti senza essere considerati dal personale, tutto ritirato nel retrocucina. Veniamo finalmente considerati, ordiniamo dei rotoli con pollo: ci viene spiegato che è terminato il pollo “normale” e che deve essere sostituito con quello alla paprika. Molto bene. Infine la cassiera specifica “ovviamente con un sovrapprezzo a carico vostro”. All’obiezione (non ho richiesto io un upgrade della pietanza), mi viene risposto che non ci può fare niente. Mangio da un’altra parte. Assurdi. Mai più.

(Translated by Google) I know the place because we have gone there other times in other parts of the country as it is a chain, today we decide to take away and have lunch at home, never a wrong choice again. Kamut piadina with raw ham and fontina inedible, something like this has never happened, piadina made with apparent scraps of ham, obviously I removed all the ham because it was inedible and ate the piadina with only the fontina. If you go eat there at least you have the option of bringing it back, because if you get takeaway they don't take care of the order. (Original) Conosco il locale perché ci siamo andati altre volte anche in altre parti del Paese essendo una catena, oggi decidiamo di prendere l'asporto e pranzare a casa, scelta mai più sbagliata. Piadina al kamut con prosciutto crudo e fontina immangiabile, mai capitato una cosa del genere, piadina fatta con apparenti ritagli di scarto del prosciutto, ovviamente ho tolto tutto il prosciutto perché non commestibile e mangiata la piadina con solo la fontina. Se andate mangiate lì almeno avete la possibilità di riportarla indietro, perché se prendete l'asporto non curano l'ordine.

(Translated by Google) Highly not recommended if you want to fill up! €8-11 for a piadina and it's practically EMPTY. I mentioned the lack of toppings to the clerk, who told me she'd followed the company rules regarding quantity and couldn't add anything else. Also, finding a seat is a real pain, as there are very few tables. (Original) Sconsigliatissimo se volete saziarvi! 8-11€ di piadina per averla praticamente VUOTA. Ho fatto presente la scarsità di condimento alla commessa che mi ha risposto di aver seguito le regole aziendali circa la quantità del contenuto e che non poteva aggiungere altro. Inoltre riuscire a trovare un posto per sedersi è una fortuna perché ci sono pochissimi tavolini.

BEST PIZZA IN TOWN!! MUST VISIT! The Chef is friendly and with great attitude:) The place is cosy with little garden outside. Quattro formaggi is so delicious that we ate two😂

Fabrizio is one of the best in Ferrara, great dough

Best pizza I've ever eaten in my life. Definitely worth a visit. Great staff and good value for money.

Best pizza in Ferrara! The dough is so light!

Fantastic dinner in Ferrara. Actually a highlight of our trip. The service and atmosphere were fantastic from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. First we ordered only antipasti and pasta, but those were so outstanding we decided to order secondi as well. The whole staff made us feel welcome and almost at home. Grazie mille for the great dinner!

I love this restaurant! Creative dishes made by an amazing Chef! Staff very well prepared and service impeccable!!

We turned up unannounced, got a table straight away, and had a stunning three course meal plus wine for 100 Euros. Brilliant, unusual food, great ⁹ friendly as well. Thoroughly recommended.

Great food, service and prices.

We had a delicious meal twice! Service was outstanding. Food and wine selection also very good. We are fish and meat eaters and selections for all. Highly recommend Fois gras appetizer and whatever fish specials they have. Good handle on English which we appreciate, but don’t expect.

Perfectly balanced flavours, beautifully plated and lovely team - highly recommend a meal here

I do not understand the raving reviews some people have posted. The service is very friendly and polite but the food is far from excellent. Standard local dishes but not worthy of such praise and there is a bit of pretentiousness in the menu that does not merit acclaim: avocado mayonnaise with fried mini veal cutlets is closer to chicken McNuggets than anything more exotic. Sorry. The pumpkin tortellini were below average and salty (like everything else I ate here ).

I went to see the Mucha exhibition which was an amazing experience. The exhibition was big, divided into thematic sections about different topics and life stages of the artist. In the ticket, a very informative audio guided was included. Overall this exhibition was not overwhelming and also not empty - it had just the right amount of selected pieces, topics and presentations to stay engaged. I ended up spending around 3 hours here.

One parts is the National Gallery, other is some special exhibitions, so it was pretty confusing to me. I visited the Gallery, that's high quality and enjoyable!

Amazing permanent collection and fabulous exhibitions. We could have spent hours there.

The building is amazing! Worth coming and seeing something this unique.

Building is lovely. There are some stunning portraits and look up at the ceilings - some are amazing works of art! Most of the other art is inspired by Roman Caltholicism and, personally, am no fan of this type of art.

Very nice building close to the center of Ferrara, booked an online early (5.30am) visit of the Banksy exhibition "An Artist known as Banksy".The museum in the last days of the show was open 24/24. Easy access, quick scan of temperture (Covid), staff professional and friendly, museum itinerary well planned with some great Banksy artworks in exhibition.

12 Euros pp for both the Harari and Arrivabene exhibits. Both were displayed perfectly. Highly recommend!

Its walls are as lovely as a Soviet-era reinforced concrete fence — pure brutalist nostalgia :) The art exhibitions are truly fascinating! And there’s a wonderful shop at the exit. Definitely recommend.

Every first sunday of the month the entry is free. Take it! It's beautiful.

Chagall exhibit might be the best single artist exhibition I have ever seen.

Interesting and full of beautiful paintings.

A comprehensive,never-boring collection of paintings by artists hired by the Este family and their court when leading the city in the Renaissance era,and after that:Garofalo,Gentile da Fabriano and original Cosmé Tura are well represented,though you will surprisingly find El Greco too! You will easily spend an hour and a half touring this pinacoteca. Absolutely worth your time!!

an overwhelming avalanche of gorgeous art representing the formidable painters of the Ferrara schools over the centuries, as well as some sculpture and decorative arts. The real stars here of course are the paintings by Dossi, Garofalo, Erocle de Roberti, Scarsellino, Bononi, Bastianino, the list goes on and on. Truly impressive for such a large gallery to be found in a city as modesty-sized as Ferrara. The newly restored Palazzo dei Diamanti is wonderfully done—the exhibition on Lorenzo Costa and de Roberti is a home run, and the caffè is also worth visiting for a break and some refreshments.

Wonderful architectural gem (from the outside) with a somewhat disappointing exhibition on the inside (with some rooms closed). Nonetheless, the permanent collection contains masterpieces by such masters as Gentile da Fabriano, Cosme Tura, Mantegna, Garofalo and Guercino.

Nice. Clean. Friendly. Only 1 water fountain. Not dog friendly for some reason. Quiet. Felt safe. Close to old town.

A beautiful and old city park with hundreds of centennial trees and plenty of resting spots. Highly recommended, a must see when in Ferrara.

Relax and sun in an amazing park in the center of Ferrara

Fantastic walk in this park in a not very crowded area. The nicest thing was the work in the old pine 🌲 in the effort to keep it it heavy branches.

Nice clean park with lots of shade, kids playground and beer for grownups.🙂

Nice playground but lots of mud after a rainy day

Downtown park with a bar and some kids equipments. Safe gathering place for children after school

A moving visit to the modest house where the great poet spent the later happier years of his life. Indeed memorabilia are few, but the house itself is very interesting, right from the famous Latin inscription on the façade "Parva sed apta mihi.." (small but fitting for me.. "). Also a trove of information in the panels, and the history of how the poet was rediscovered, starting from 1875, as a glory of the newly reunited Italy. Free entrance.

Nice place, free entrance.

It’s his house!

Nothing special

(Translated by Google) During a short excursion to Ferrara I took the opportunity to visit Ludovico Ariosto's house, it is small and can be visited in a few minutes, there are captions describing the salient moments of the poet's life. Entrance is free. (Original) Nel corso di una breve escursione a Ferrara ne ho approfittato per visitare la casa di Ludovico Ariosto, è piccolina e la di può visitare in pochi minuti, ci sono delle didascalie che descrivono i momenti salienti della vita del poeta. L'ingresso è gratuito.

(Translated by Google) The house has a simple but elegant facade in exposed brick, on which there is a Latin inscription, the translation of which is as follows: "The house is small but suitable for me, clean, not burdened by fees and purchased only with my money". Here Ludovico Ariosto spent the last years of his life, dedicating himself to the third and definitive edition of Orlando Furioso, published in 1532. On the first floor of the building, there is a small museum dedicated to the great poet, which houses the bronze cast of his inkwell, some editions of his works and many medals representing him. In some of the visitors' registers, the signatures of King Vittorio Emanuele III, Giuseppe Verdi, Alberto Moravia, Elsa Morante and Giorgio Bassani are highlighted. In the small central corridor, a display case houses the precious edition of Orlando Furioso illustrated by Gustave Doré, from 1881. At the back of the house is a garden created during the poet's time, now used for concerts and temporary initiatives. (Original) L’abitazione presenta una facciata semplice, ma elegante in mattoni a vista, su cui è riportata un’iscrizione latina, la cui traduzione è la seguente: "La casa è piccola ma adatta a me, pulita, non gravata da canoni e acquistata solo con il mio denaro". Qui Ludovico Ariosto trascorse gli ultimi anni della sua esistenza, dedicandosi alla terza e definitiva edizione dell’Orlando Furioso, uscita nel 1532. Al primo piano dell’edificio, è sistemato un piccolo museo dedicato al grande poeta, in cui sono conservati il calco in bronzo del suo calamaio, alcune edizioni delle sue opere e molte medaglie che lo rappresentano. In alcuni registri dei visitatori, sono evidenziate le firme del re Vittorio Emanuele III, di Giuseppe Verdi, Alberto Moravia, Elsa Morante e Giorgio Bassani. Nel piccolo corridoio centrale è conservata in una vetrina la preziosa edizione dell’Orlando Furioso illustrata da Gustave Doré, del 1881. Sul retro della casa si trova un giardino creato all’epoca del poeta, oggi utilizzato per concerti ed iniziative temporanee.

(Translated by Google) The house where Ariosto lived. Inside are his belongings, medals, and paintings. Free admission. (Original) La casa dove ha vissuto l'Ariosto. Al suo interno vi sino beni appartenuti a lui, medaglie e quadri. Ingresso gratuito.

I received a pizza with rich toppings and thin crispy crust. Good price-value ratio. I had trouble explaining what I wanted, it was 40 minutes before closing, but they still managed to get me the kind of topping I was looking for.

Very good home made Ferrara meals. Very nice waitress.

Good and quick service. Typical dishes. Reasonable price. Dog friendly.

A nice place with local food and a wide selection of pizzas. The food was delicious and for a reasonable prize. I'd suggest decorating the placea bit and maybe buying a new set of better looking chairs. Other than that, a nice place to eat at.

Great food, great service, very convenient prices. We can recommend with no hesitation.

(Translated by Google) From a word of mouth from friends, we came to this restaurant for lunch, practically in the center of Ferrara and we had a very good time. Apart from the service of a very kind and helpful girl, the fixed menu is full of first and second courses and the dishes are very good, among other things served quickly. The owner was also very kind and the place is also nice and elegant. I highly recommend having a meal, also for the price which is really affordable. (Original) Da un passa parola di amici, siamo venuti in questo ristorante a pranzo, praticamente in centro a Ferrara e ci siamo trovati molto bene. A parte il servizio di una ragazza gentilissima e disponibile, il menù fisso, e’ ricco di primi e secondi e molto buone le pietanze, tra l’altro servite in tempi brevi. Anche il titolare, e’ stato molto gentile ed il locale è anche carino ed elegante. Consiglio vivamente di fare una mangiata, anche per il prezzo che è davvero conveniente.

(Translated by Google) The food was acceptable, nothing extraordinary. Terrible service from the owner. He got very upset because at the checkout we were deciding to pay part of the amount in cash. He yelled at us and told us we were wasting his time! They changed the menu price by 20 euros, claiming we had modified an order. Conclusion: don't go there! There are better places in Ferrara. And with polite owners. Tourists should be respected! (Original) Aceptable la comida, nada extraordinario. Pesima atención de parte del propietario. Se molestó mucho porque en la caja estábamos decidiendo de pagar una parte al contado. Nos alzó la voz y nos dijo que le estábamos haciendo perder tiempo !. Nos cambiaron los precios del menú de 20 euros más , aduciendo que habíamos modificado un pedido. Conclusión : no vayan ! Hay lugares mejores en Ferrara. Y con propietarios educados. Al turista se le respeta !

Once there was a high class restaurant with 6 tables and a view into the kitchen in Ferrara called „Don Giovanni“. Its chef was no-one else then the mastermind of the Manifattura Alimentrae: Pier Luigi Di Diego This place will offer you two opportunities: either you take the marvelous food with you or you surrender to Pier Luigi and his wife and enjoy it with a perfect wine pairing at one of the view tables. You will enjoy vegetables from their own garden which are combined with what is available on a seasonal basis from land and sea. And everything is brought to a level you tend to find only in stared restaurants but in a relaxed manner without the showing off. So help yourself with some Quinoa with fresh vegetables, red rice with shrimps, sardines ln the flower of zucchini, octopus salat, fresh made paste with Polpette or mussels, in salt water cooled pork meat with tonnato sauce, or other plates inspired by the regions of Italy and i influenced by the seasons. Make sure you reserve your table upfront.

More of a gastronomy shop than a proper restaurant, where one of the best Italian chefs offers you a great food experience that you can enjoy very informally on their premises or take away. Excellent wine and very competent advice.

!!!!! Never go to this place!!!!!! Weiters no interested about customers at all. 15 minutes to place an order after going to the bar and asking again for that... No drinks for the next 15 minutes. Thanks, you have stolen our 30 minutes, but fortunatelly you didin't collect a penny! Lots of good restaurants nearby.

(Translated by Google) In Ferrara, in via Palestra, we find Manifattura Alimentare: Pierluigi Di Diego's restaurant. Not a restaurant or a bistro: a delicatessen where you can eat or take away. The dishes, even take away, are taken care of in the smallest details. The restaurant is very well-kept, few seats and in the summer some in the outdoor terrace. The food is excellent. Very friendly staff. Excellent quality-price ratio. 🔝 (Original) A Ferrara, in via Palestra, troviamo Manifattura Alimentare: il locale di Pierluigi Di Diego. Non un ristorante e neanche un bistrot: una bottega di gastronomia dove mangiare o prendere cibi d'asporto. I piatti, anche da asporto, sono curati nei minimi particolari. Il locale è molto curato, pochi coperti e in estate alcuni nel dehor esterno. Il cibo è ottimo. Personale molto gentile. Rapporto qualità-prezzo ottimo. 🔝

(Translated by Google) I was finally able to eat the delicious pasticcio alla Ferrarese after seeing this place win an episode of a TV program (Food Advisor). I've wanted to go there for years, but there had never been the opportunity. I can say it was really worth it. (Original) Ho finalmente potuto mangiare il gustosissimo pasticcio alla ferrarese dopo aver visto questo locale vincere la puntata di un programma TV (Food Advisor). Erano anni che volevo passarci, ma non ce n’era mai stata l’occasione. Posso dire che ne è davvero valsa la pena.

(Translated by Google) We happened upon the Summer Festival and were attracted by the very clean and linear style, we discovered a truly surprising cuisine (the fried anchovies as a cicchetto were a delight!). A very attentive and pleasant service to top it all off, if I ever pass by Ferrara Manifattura Alimentare again it will definitely be a stop for me! (Original) Capitati a caso in occasione del Summer Festival e attirati dallo stile molto pulito e lineare, abbiamo scoperto una cucina davvero sorprendete (le alici fritte come cicchetto una delizia!). Un servizio attentissimo e piacevole a coronare il tutto, se passerò di nuovo a Ferrara Manifattura Alimentare sarà sicuramente una mia tappa!

(Translated by Google) A modern deli with just a few tables, neat and tidy. I found a counter with dishes prepared daily, all visually appealing and inviting. I chose an express menu: a simple yet substantial first course, with seasonal ingredients and a distinct flavor. I was impressed by the selection of natural wines, with original and unusual labels. The atmosphere is informal, yet meticulously crafted, without the rigidity of a traditional restaurant. The staff was helpful, explaining the daily specials simply. The price is fair for the quality: considering the gourmet yet relaxed atmosphere, I'd say it's fair. Suitable for a quick lunch or an aperitif with good food and interesting wine. The takeaway option is also a good option if you still want to eat at home. I recommend the Sicilian red tuna with avocado salad and locally sourced cherry tomatoes (photo) (Original) Gastronomia moderna con pochi tavoli, ordinata e curata. Ho trovato un bancone con piatti preparati in giornata, tutto visivo e invitante. Ho scelto una proposta espressa: un primo piatto semplice ma di sostanza, con ingredienti stagionali e un gusto netto. Mi ha colpito la selezione di vini naturali, con etichette originali e non scontate. L’ambiente è informale, ma c’è tanta cura, senza la rigidità di un ristorante classico. Il personale è stato disponibile, spiegando con semplicità i piatti del giorno. Il prezzo è onesto per la qualità: considerato il contesto gourmet ma rilassato, direi che ci sta. Adatto per un pranzo veloce o un aperitivo con cibo buono e vino interessante. Buona anche l’idea del takeaway, se vuoi mangiare lo stesso a casa. Consiglio il tonno rosso siciliano con insalata di avocado e pomodorini a km0 (foto)

Great takeaway pizza shop. Will also try their best to help if your Italiano is rough! Great job.

(Translated by Google) Very good pizza, quality of the toppings and also a reasonable price. I honestly don't understand the negative reviews, some even quite aggressive. Keep it up. (Original) Pizza molto buona, qualità dei condimenti e anche un prezzo contenuto. Onestamente non capisco le recensioni negative, alcune anche piuttosto aggressive. Continuate così.

(Translated by Google) I have been going to May Day for several years, almost once a week. Always excellent quality, friendly staff, honest prices. I can't just evaluate the delivery because I'll pick them up myself. Well done! (Original) Vado alla primo maggio da diversi anni, quasi una volta alla settimana. Qualità sempre ottima, personale gentile, prezzi onesti. Non posso valutare solo la consegna perché le vado a prendere io. Bravi!

(Translated by Google) I ordered a cooked ham pizza for takeout. It said 50 minutes for delivery, but it finally arrived in 40 minutes, so great service. The pizza arrived piping hot. Excellent value for money. (Original) Ho ordinato d'asporto una pizza al prosciutto cotto. C'era scritto 50 minuti per la consegna e alla fine in 40 minuti è arrivata, quindi servizio top. La pizza è arrivata calda. Qualità/prezzo ottima

(Translated by Google) I started ordering home delivery more than a year ago, initially I was very impressed by the goodness and abundance of the pizzas.... quality that has been lost over time... the shrunken pizzas and a total of 8 small pieces of sausage per pizza .... a real shame considering that at least once a week I order here... (Original) Ho iniziato a ordinare a domicilio ormai più di un anno fa, inizialmente sono stata molto colpita della bontà e abbondanza delle pizze.... qualità che nel tempo è stata persa... le pizze rimpicciolite e in totale 8 pezzettini di salsiccia a pizza.... un vero peccato considerando che almeno una volta a settimana ordino qui...

(Translated by Google) I ordered the pizzas and it was a nice surprise. The delivery was perfect, exactly on time, and the delivery man was kind and polite. The pizzas were good, hot, generous, and tasty. The price was very reasonable! Great pizzeria, "Primo Maggio." I will definitely order from you again. (Original) Ho ordinato le pizze ed è stata una bella sorpresa. La consegna è stata perfetta, esattamente all' orario stabilito, il ragazzo che ha consegnato le pizze gentile ed educato. Le pizze buone, calde, ricche e gustose. La spesa molto conveniente! Brava pizzeria "primo maggio" mi servirò sicuramente ancora da voi

(Translated by Google) Excellent place in the center, I bought a takeaway pizza while working in the office near this pizzeria. Free delivery, low priced and truly delicious pizzas, punctual delivery. Very recommended. (Original) Ottimo locale in centro, ho comprato una pizza da asporto lavorando in ufficio vicino a questa pizzeria. Consegna gratis, pizze a presso basso e veramente buonissime, consegna puntuale. Molto consigliato.

I had a lunch with my Italian friends. There’s a vegan buffet for make one plat. And the cappellacci di zucca con burro e salvia. Salama con puree soooo delicious and authentic from Ferrara. The sweet is different zuppa inglese and torta li tagliatelle was so delicious everything actually.

Located on a picturesque street that is between the Castle and the pedestrian/bike path on the city walls. We stopped by for lunch and then returned again for dinner. The restaurant serves a neighborhood crowd which usually signals good food. The wait staff was helpful and offered good suggestions. A great meal and dining experience.

Excellent! A warm and beautiful place offers a variety of dishes typical of the local cuisine. We booked a place in advance (also recommend you) for eight o'clock in the evening for four people and we sat straight at the table… The service was exceptional and professional and the food was very tasty and unique…highly recommend restaurant !!

Italien dinner at it’s best! With the extra personal touch, beyond expectations. Everything we had was excellent and the Vitelli tonnato was the best ever, ( and we have tried a few).Such a great service, professional and genuine, giving the extra personal touch for a full experience. Very good value for money.

The staff is super nice and friendly. They explained the menu for all the vegetarian options. The portions, however, seemed a bit small for the price since you would probably be full if you end up having a pasta, a main course, and a desert with coffee, which would make up for a 60€+ dinner in which case, it would make more sense to book a Michelin guide spot in the city (which is the only reason why I didn't give 5 stars).

Nice Food

THE TOP

A historic and festive place for the people of Ferrara: it hosts the racecourse, the European market and other activities. Especially around this time, it's not unusual to find someone spreading out a cloth to read, have a picnic, or play with the kids. Truly a welcoming and functional square.

Awesome. Come for the annual Palio of Ferrara! Donkey races in the square for Covic pride!!

THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR TO VISIT THE PIAZZA IS PALIO DAY. FOUR MANIC RACES, 2 FOOT RACES (BOYS,GIRLS), A HORSE RACE, AND THE HILARIOUS RACE OF THE DONKEYS. THE LOCALS ALL WEAR THE COLOURS OF THEIR CITY SECTOR MAKING THE DAY A BRIGHT AND EVENTFUL DAY. THE LOCALS ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS DAY AND OFTEN SET OFF SMOKE FLARES. SUCH FUN!

Interesting layout like as Circus Maximus makes me wonder if they ever make any races around the track, with some Cafes and ice cream shops

Super fun! We cycled around the piazza with our rented bikes! It was a lot of fun! We even had a race!

Little park easy to reach from the city centre on foot. You can hang with your friend, walk, go by skate or bike or just sit and enjoy this cute lil green space

Lovely refurbishment of the square. Great to sit, have a coffee and watch friends and family meet and enjoy themselves.

Go only if you have the Ferrara card, it's a cute little museum but can be done in 20 mins. Has some very important art pieces however, but don't expect too much.

Beautiful paintings and tapestries about the city's two Saint protectors, Giorgio and Maurelio. Above all, a fascinating cycle of Romanesque sculpture about the Months

Worth to visit!

Ok. Small museum. In and out in 35 minutes. Consider a Ferrera Tourist Card. Beautiful Madonna and Child statue.

beautiful place and landmark

Small collection but quite beautiful and well worth the visit.

I love Italy because it's a good place to stay 💗😍❤️❣️❣️💞💞🏘️🏘️

You must visit this Basilica of At Francisco , 1200 AD. It's an heritage of the Catholic church

Beautiful works of art in a wonderful architectural setting.

Renewed

(Translated by Google) The church is one of the most beautiful and important in Ferrara, while the churchyard in front is a space with a fairly indefinite use, usually there is someone walking the dog or someone who simply uses it as a shortcut. I was happy to see that they were arranging the space for the live nativity scene. (Original) La chiesa è una delle più belle e importanti di Ferrara, il sagrato antistante invece è uno spazio dall’utilizzo abbastanza indefinito, di solito c’è qualcuno che porta a spasso il cane o qualcuno che semplicemente lo utilizza come scorciatoia. Mi ha fatto piacere vedere che stavano sistemando lo spazio per il presepe vivente.

(Translated by Google) The Church of St. Francis is a very large church in the old town of Ferrara. The church interior has been largely restored after severe earthquake damage. There are many works of art from various eras to discover. Access is barrier-free. A house of prayer and silence, it is well worth a visit. (Original) Die Kirche St. Francesco ist eine sehr große Kirche in der Altstadt von Ferrara. Der Kirchenraum ist nach schweren Erdbebenschäden weitgehend restauriert worden. Es gibt viele Kunstwerke aus verschiedenen Epochen zu entdecken. Der Zugang ist barrierefrei. Ein Haus des Gebetes und der Stille. Sehr sehenswert.

(Translated by Google) Architectural Style of the Basilica of St. Francis in Ferrara 🔧 1. History and Context • The Oracle began as a small Franciscan church from the 13th century, which leaves traces visible in the interior (e.g., sunken arches). • The current structure was built between 1494 and 1508 according to the design of Biagio Rossetti, the initiator of the famous Addizione Erculea—Ferrara's Renaissance urban plan. ⸻ 🎨 2. Facade and Structure—Geometric Renaissance • Made of brick with marble and plaster pilasters (lesena), inspired by the style of Leonardo Baptista Alberti, giving it the harmony and proportions typical of the Italian Renaissance. ⸻ 🎨 2. Facade and Structure—Geometric Renaissance • The façade is two-story, with a large central portal and two side portals topped with triangular pediments, and the upper story features a large rose window framed by volutes and a pediment . ⸻ 🕍 3. Interior Layout and Plan • Basilica plan: Latin cross, with three naves and eight chapels on the sides; semicircular chancel . • The side naves and nave are covered with domed vaults (so-called sail vaults), and above the nave, the bays support vaults on pendentives—the entire structure is bright and spacious thanks to tall, narrow windows and rose windows . ⸻ 💡 4. The Play of Light and Space • Rossetti designed the building with natural light in mind—the side chapels have narrow windows that let in streams of light, while the naves are illuminated by rosettes, lending the interior an atmosphere of harmony and peace. ⸻ 🖼️ 5. Decor and Selected Works of Art • In the first chapel on the left—the famous fresco "The Taking of Christ" (La cattura di Cristo) by Garofalo (1524) and the stone figure of "Christ in Gethsemane" . • In the chancel—a triptych by Domenico Mona (1580–1583) depicting the Deposition, Resurrection, and Ascension . • In the right transept – a monumental Baroque funerary monument of Marquis Ghiron Francesco Villa (†1670), the only one of its kind in Ferrara. . • Additionally: a 5th-century Roman sarcophagus, a terracotta scene of Christ at the column, and other works of local art, including graffiti, epitaphs, and lapidaries. . (Original) Styl architektoniczny Bazyliki św. Franciszka w Ferrarze 🔧 1. Historia i kontekst • Oracle zaczęła się od małego kościoła franciszkańskiego z XIII wieku, co pozostawia ślady widoczne we wnętrzach (np. zatapiane łuki) . • Obecna bryła została zbudowana między 1494 a 1508 rokiem według projektu Biagio Rossettiego, inicjatora słynnej Addizione Erculea — planu urbanistycznego Ferrary z epoki renesansu . ⸻ 🎨 2. Fasada i bryła — renesans geometryczny • Wykonana z cegły z pilastrami z marmuru i tynku (leseny), inspirowana stylem Leonarda Baptisty Alberti, co nadaje jej harmonię i proporcję typową dla włoskiego renesansu   . • Fasada jest dwukondygnacyjna, z dużym portalem centralnym oraz dwóch bocznych, zakończonych trójkątnymi naczółkami, a w górnej kondygnacji – duża rozeta otoczona wolutami i naczółkiem . ⸻ 🕍 3. Układ wnętrza i plan • Plan bazyliki: krzyż łaciński, z trzema nawami i ósemką kaplic po bokach; prezbiterium zamknięte półkolisty . • Na­wy boczne i korpus nakryte są sklepie­niami kopułastymi (tzw. żag­la­ste), a nad nawą główną przęsła wspierają sklepienia na pendentywach — całość jest jasna i przestrzenna dzięki wysokim, wąskim oknom i rozetom . ⸻ 💡 4. Gra światła i przestrzeni • Rossetti zaprojektował budowlę z myślą o naturalnym świetle — boczne kaplice mają wąskie okna wpuszczające strumienie światła, natomiast nawy są rozświetlone rozetami, co nadaje wnętrzu atmosferę harmonii i spokoju  . ⸻ 🖼️ 5. Wystrój i wybrane dzieła sztuki • W pierwszej kaplicy po lewej — słynny fresk „Pojmanie Chrystusa” (La cattura di Cristo) autorstwa Garofalo (1524) oraz kamienna figura „Chrystusa w Getsemani” . • W prezbiterium — tryptyk Domenico Mona (1580–1583) przedstawiający Złożenie, Zmartwychwstanie i Wniebowstąpienie . • W prawym transepcie – monumentalny barokowy pomnik nagrobny markiza Ghiron Francesco Villa (†1670), jedyny tego typu w Ferrarze . • Dodatkowo: rzymski sarkofag z V wieku, terakotowa scena Chrystusa przy kolumnie i inne dzieła o sztuce lokalnej, w tym graffiti epitafia i lapidaria .

(Translated by Google) I point out that one of the most valuable is in a corner of the left transept: It is a sarcophagus from the 5th century Byzantine-Ravenna that deserves to be better placed. Anyway, look at it. (Original) Segnalo che una dei più pregiati è in un angolo del transetto sinistro: È un sarcofago del V sec. Bizantino-Ravennate che meriterebbe essere messo meglio. Comunque guardatelo.

Very peaceful and serene place. I've never seen a cemetery like this one ... The architecture and the grandeur of this place is truly exceptional.

The architecture of this place is very interesting. Also is a very peaceful place

Feel weird rating a cemetery again but it is a really beautiful one with nice gardens/buildings surrounding it

😍

😔

Monumental. Deserve a visit

Wow

We came to try traditional dishes, and this restaurant was recommended by our host. Two of us shared four dishes. We ate well, in that we were able to sample the local specialty, and portion size was big. I enjoyed salamina da sugo, as it was the first time I tasted it. Other dishes we tried were fried fiori di zucca, cappellacci di zucca, and pollo arrosto. They were all ok - I do not foresee myself returning to order the same dishes. We didn't think the service was the best. Although we booked a table four days in advance, we were initially given the most uncomfortable table in the middle of the hall and the table wasn't even ready for us. The more annoying part was that there was a nicer table by the wall, next to our assigned table, and it was already set up for 2 people. We asked for that table instead. We had a small suitcase and a backpack. The staff initially refused to give us that table as it was 'reserved for someone else'. We insisted hard, and they agreed to give us that table, which we appreciated. A few minutes later an Italian couple, who must have reserved the table now assigned to us, arrived and was given the table in the middle of the hall. They did not seem to be too upset, fortunately. I wonder if the couple had asked for that specific table which we took... During our meal, the waiter was nice to give us additional plates to share the dishes between us, however, we were so rushed. At one point I was still scooping the last bit of the sauce from a plate when he hurriedly removed the plate. It was rather embarrassing... Clearly the waiter wanted us to leave asap so that he can close the lunch service for the day. There were still some 10 or so groups dining, we were not the last. I wish if I had made a better effort to learn Italian language, which should have helped us manoeuvre better.

Excellent place not to be missed. Not cheap depending on what you eat (was not clear with salumi and formaggi charging nearly 40 EUR for a plate - see photo) but I would definitely go back again. All food was prepared with attention and all the salumi were freshly cut.

Service started off a bit rocky. Was trying to get a table for one and they kept pointing me to different people. Overall food was good. Green lasagna was a bit too cheesy but it was good!

Located in the city center, it is a reliable local food place with lots of choices. Reservation after 21 is recommended.

Worse experience ever ! I came for work to Ferrara and followed the recommendation of the hotel. The guy on the bar totally unfriendly when I asked for a table for 1. You have a reservation? He asked …. I said no …. There were at least 3-4 tables available ! At 21:15 at night!

We have just eaten in this restaraunt and had two fantastic dishes and an amazing bottle of wine. The service was excellent and friendly and we had our meals served within 5 minutes of ordering. Highly recommended.

One of the most popular restaurants in Ferrara serving typical Ferrarese cuisine. Rich choice, moderate prices and excellent quality. Do not forget to reserve a table, the restaurant is very popular. I can definitely recommend various Taglieri with salumi and cheese. Try it, I insist.

2 meals in 2 days! It was so delicious and such lovely service. I proclaim that it was the best pasta I have ever had! And I have traveled extensively in Italy. Don't miss the opportunity to dine here. I ordered the cappellacci pasta (stuffed big "hat") with a mixed meat (rabbit/pork/chicken). The pasta was stuffed with pumpkin. Don't miss this local dish! I also had the pigeon with fois gras! OMG. Also, the pricing was reasonable.

Amazing place a hidden gem in Ferrara, Emilia-Romana behind an old simple buildings walls. If you are on vacation around Bologna and you are a foodie, pls do not miss this place. Its even worth just to drive to Ferrara for lunch or dinner however the small city also cute. We had the degustation menu for lunch 65eur that had 7courses that is rather 10 as you get also some small bites. I also had the wine pairing with it for 30eur ( 3 wine).I am a huge foodie and I only can say everything was perfect from start to end including food, service and wine. Even the wine glasses were fantastic experience to drink from them. The guys went above and beyond to make you feel home. If you choose to go there it is easier to book for lunch as you have better chance to get a spot. Otherwise recommended 2 weeks in advance at least. If i will go back to the region I will certainly return for this experience.

We took the tasting menu (€65 for 7-courses, but we received more like 10+ courses). The dishes were well thoughtout, some with very surprising and unique combinaties, which worked very well. 10/10 recommondation

From service to presentation and taste of food and wine, 5 stars. It is a traditional menu with a contemporary twist. We would come back to try more items from the menu.

Very good restaurant, they do evrithing as you would expect, nothing worng, but the filling I had was that somone was over thinking about the concept od the dish and hey would look like and neglected the flavor. It was 90/100, not 95-100/100.

Great experience for all senses. Food is delicious and wines are served compatible. Service is on Michelin level.

Their dishes looked good in pictures. It was a complete let down in reality. The only thing that tasted good was the eel appetizer. Baccala main was horribly overcooked with tasteless sauce. I could not eat but a small portion of it - very rare behavior for me. My wife’s appetizer and main were in the latter category as well. For the most expensive restaurant on our 5 day trip to Ferrara it was unacceptable. The wine that was recommended to us by the “sommelier” was one of the worst we’ve ever had. It’s such a shame, for Emilia–Romagna has wonderful wines. Service was virtually non-existent.

Absolutely horrendous Burgers, burnt bun, chewy steak, the Chicken tasted weird , so did not eat.. would seriously avoid at all costs!

Small venue, only 2 or 3 tables, really a takeaway focus. I enjoyed a poké bowl, very tasty. Also has a fridge with a selection of beers.

The burger was good enough. It took 45 minutes to be served even though there were only 5 people in the restaurant. After waiting an hour for the oven baked fries, the table that came after us got served first and the fries were extremely oily. There are no toilets, and after paying we were sent back to our table to clear it up ourselves as there is no service at the table. I expected more from reading the reviews. Won't recommend it to a friend. Service is definitely not the best.

Great service, presentation and food. Normal pricing for the quality

Great tasting burger and the hamburger buns are amazing

Delicious food, nice place, not crowded with people.

Its an ok pizza. not the best. Overpriced as well.

Amazingly tasty pizzas amd fantastic friendly service. It was so delicious, we made a reservation for Friday night.

Showed up 30 minutes before closing time and they refused to give us something quick for takeout. Some people say it’s the Italian culture but it’s laziness pure and simple.

Gourmet pizza is great, dough is wonderful and everything tastes so fresh!
