Centro Storico - FERRARA

As the name of the bar suggests, it is in the centre of Ferrara close to the ducal palace and the cathedral. We went there for a light lunch. You order drinks at your table, for food you go inside and order from the cabinets. Everything is brought to your table. If you order a round of drinks, you also get a platter of nibbles- bruschette, crostini, tortilla crisps and olives. So if you're not that hungry that platter may be sufficient.

Even their greeting was low key as if it did not matter that there were clients, or not. Both of us had coffee which was just OK. But the cornetti were horrible, just filled with air, no substance and no flavour. We would choose another place next time. Could they just have had Monday blues?

No cars, few tourists, old buildings, everyday Italian life; bikes abound, varied markets in main square, enjoyable walking at night

Incredible location with views of the majestic Estense and Man castle. nice the room with internal and external seats. new management. What a sadness. salty brioches indefatigable. cleaning to improve

We did not have much choice as we arrived in Ferrara late afternoon and places were either closed or closing. We just ordered a panini and tortellini their special that day. The pasta was great the sandwich okay but we realized why no personality as they too were closing. As they put away their signage you had no choice but to feel rushed. Go later on perhaps for a better experience.
