Worst weekend possible to visit Ferrara: cold, rain and snow, but we found shelter in this nice restaurant. The very warm owner lead us to a side table, in the small but cozy room. And the amazing tasting experience begun. The dishes were cooked with care and love - almost all the menu is based on fish, with more classic recipes and some original ideas.

The wine was one of best I ever had. It was a local white. Wife pronounced the pink shrimp tortellini to be heavenly. Amuse Bouche was amazing. Reservations likely...
