"I've been to Italy a dozen times, first time in Ferrara and this had to have been my FAVORITE meal in this entire country! Everything about this place is amazing! First, I feel a bit guilty sharing this place this the world because as you can see by the reviews and it's a tried and true local favorite. I hope they don't mind! Upon arrival you have to ring a little bell that let's the staff know you've arrived. Patio area is amazingly quaint and spacious. Perfect for a summer day! We were greeted by the owner? He was so cool! We're all Americans and didn't speak Italian very well so he asked if we spoke Spanish and we did so we communicated with broken Spanish! The restaurant itself it also spacious but all the diners were outside in the patio. It felt like we were having a meal in someone's back yard. Service was very attentive. We had a few looks from the locals and everyone seemed curious because we just appeared out of nowhere (this place is just a short 10 min walk outside the castle). We ordered this appetizer that was 25 euros but had a little bit of everything and we ordered 2. We didn't really know what we were in for but it's basically 5 fish/shellfish dishes. GET THIS. I think it was the most expensive thing on the menu but the owner suggested we try it so we can get a taste of all the different dishes. They were all really amazing. 2 of the dishes were calamari and it was the most tender calamari ever. So buttery and good, not rubbery at all. The first dish was just super simple, calamari with lemon juice, pepper and arugula and it was beautiful. The 2nd dish that stood out was mussels in a tomato sauce, I wanted to lick the bowl clean. One of the things we ordered on our own was radicchio with pancetta and shrimp drizzled with an amazing aged balsamic. Heavenly. We barely got through the appetizers before we remembered we ordered 2 pasta dishes! The first was just a tortellini with meat ragu. Oh the simplicity..but everything was cooked to perfection. I've had a ton of pasta in Italy, these pasta dishes were so amazing! The 2nd one was a bit more unique..it was like a rigotoni with a very light curry coating..weird to explain but it was subtle hint of curry that I never have eaten with pasta and it was amazing! Again, perfectly cooked. All the food, plus 2 carafes of wine, and 2 large bottles of sparking water was 120euros. We easily had 8 courses brought out and they were large portions! The owner brought out some dessert for us! Sorbet in fruit? I don't know what it was but it was amazing!! Ahh. And then be brought out this really dark homemade sambuca tasting like drink for us as well as homemade lemoncello..the best lemoncello I've had! Overall an amazing experience despite possible language barriers. We were treated so kindly and the meal spoke for itself really. Throughout this all we wanted was a place where locals went with some darn good food and some good hospitality and we got everything we dreamed of and more. This is what traveling is all about..finding a gem that you will remember forever."

"Ho avuto il piacere di andare a questo fantastico per la prima volta oggi e non ci sono altri modi per definirlo come un ristorante con un amico. le nostre aspettative più alte sono state più che superate!. per cominciare la posizione è molto semplice, essenziale, dritto al punto; Odio dire nazional-popolare, molto alla mano. l'organizzazione dei tavoli è molto rustica e accogliente, così come la convivialità dell'ambiente circostante, unita alla professionalità e alla gentilezza amichevole della ragazza che ci ha accolti. i prezzi sono molto onesti, la qualità dei piatti è straordinaria: un triplo di colori, sapori e tutto da provare. la particolarità di questo ristorante, sta nel fatto che ogni piatto è fatto con grande dedizione; si vede, ascolta e percepisce, da molti aspetti: esposizione, impiallacciatura, goto, presentazione, esposizione, qualità, cura di ogni singolo ingrediente; al punto di fare attraverso la suddetta convivivialità il singolo pasto come quello che una madre si prepara per il figlio, ricordando per il fatto la cucina casale: sia per il goto che l'atmosfera. quello che si può apprezzare sarà la freschezza, la saggezza giusta ed equilibrata di ogni piatto; per non parlare di come in ogni singolo prodotto si può chiaramente distinguere ogni singolo ingrediente dall'altro senza essere spento, contrastato o annullato. in questo modo si può certamente valorizzare pienamente la ricetta, l'ingrediente individuale; Così, come l'etica vegana predice la coesistenza degli esseri viventi nello stesso macrocosmo, questo ristorante è riuscito a trasporre concettualmente, nel senso enogastronomico, tale idea anche nel piatto. Quale modo migliore per rappresentare il veganismo? il set di tutto nel singolo. molto originale la piccola libreria ornamentale (forse non troppo), così come le brochure informative osano dire rivelatori sull'etica e le ragioni della scelta vegana, mostrando la verità nuda e cruda al lettore. Se solo potessi mettere dieci stelle. molto consigliato, tornerò molto presto. Grazie per il ottimo pranzo, vai vegano!"
