Local food we sought local food we got. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were warmly welcomed and offered menus both in Italian and English. We ordered Cappellacci, the butternut pumpkin gnocchi with sage and butter, and ragout. The serves were generous and the food delicious. We were also given an excellent basket of bread. The restaurant was busy; most guests choosing to sit inside due to the cool weather. The prices were extremely reasonable. The restaurant also had an excellent restroom.

We visited on a cold, rainy spring Tuesday night and got the last table by the toilet; we were quite happy with it, as it was out of the way and we had no reservations. We had walked by this osteria many times but had shied away as the outside crowd is young and raucous. Inside the restaurant has a very cozy and pleasant atmosphere, with few tables. The menu is delightful and original. We were given a beautiful tray of local salami, which was delicious. I had the risotto with fungi and my wife had spaghetti with pomodorini and olives. Both dishes had incredible potential, but unfortunately both were very salty, the risotto so salty as to almost be inedible. But the flavors permeated the dishes and were delectable. We seemed to be the only non-Italians in the room, and in spite of my best restaurant Italian, we felt a bit out of place (we did not speak English to the wait staff). The service was slow, particularly in the beginning, not particularly friendly although not unfriendly. It seemed as if the wait staff was uncomfortable with non-native speaking Italians. We waited a while to pay our bill and were not bid good night and left without a thank you. This osteria could be so much more, but they are probably content to cater to the local population. But they really should use a lot less salt. If they had, and if the service had been welcoming, I could easily give this osteria five stars. If you have sufficient Italian to ask for less salt, I highly recommend either of the dishes we had.

I really like this place for the authentic, tasty food and the generous portions.
A must try for me are the following:
- cappellacci di zucca al ragu' (pumpkin ravioli)
- carrello di dolci (trolley of desserts) - at only 5 euros they bring you 7-8 cakes/desserts and you can take as much as you want and stuff in your body :)

Highly recommended and easy to find, very good location.

Aperitivi also are really good in this place.

Had a meal here and really enjoyed it, during a business trip to Ferrara. The food was great and a really friendly atmosphere. We had a meat and cheese selection to start and steak in a mushroom sauce for the main. Would recommend this restaurant
