  1. A

    Don Giovanni

    Open only for dinner, this highly acclaimed eatery specialises in fresh-caught fish from the Adriatic, vegetables harvested from the restaurant’s own garden, eight varieties of bread baked daily and a wine list featuring over 600 Italian and international labels. The menu is an imaginative feast of unconventional concoctions such as tortelli con faraona allo zabaione di parmigiano e prosciutto croccante (guinea fowl–stuffed pasta in a custard of Parmesan and crunchy ham) or anguilla arrostita con finferli e emulsione all’alloro (roast eel with chanterelle mushrooms in bay-leaf emulsion).

    Pizzeria Orsucci

    For a slice of Ferrarese culinary history, head to this hole-in-the-wall pizzeria, run by the same family since 1936. Choices are simple: do you want your pizza margherita small or medium-sized, with or without anchovies? Aside from draught beer, the only other menu item is padella di ceci (a chickpea-flour treat cooked in the wood-fired oven). If you ask, the amiable proprietor Giulio can tell you a story or two about the news clippings and photos that cover the walls, documenting Orsucci’s numerous awards and history as a film set.

    Osteria del Ghetto

    This sweet little eatery in the heart of Ferrara’s old Jewish quarter is a fab place to feast on traditional favourites like cappellacci di zucca or salama da sugo con purea di patate (stewed pork sausage with mashed potatoes).
