Iacobucci

Italian Contemporary · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Housed in Villa Zarri, a historic family residence where one of the most famous brandies in Italy was created, this restaurant is home to chef Agostino Iacobucci, who creates a culinary bridge between his native Campania and the Bologna region. His dishes include a delicious rabbit alla genovese, a type of Neapolitan stew, served with a scamorza cheese and herb cream and topped with shavings of local black truffle. The impressive wine list boasts a selection of vertical labels including prestigious wines such as Sassicaia and Tignanello, with over ten different vintages available. The villa al

L'800

Emilian, Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€€

Period furniture, regional cuisine and a cheerful ambience are some of the characteristics of this old farmhouse which is named after the 1800s when it was built. Some of the ingredients used, such as snails and frogs’ legs, may come as a surprise: the restaurant specialises in these unusual delicacies, even offering a tasting menu totally dedicated to snails.

Osteria la Fefa

Emilian, Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€€

A beautiful farmhouse not far from the town, with a friendly, welcoming and colourful feel, where the menu features Italian dishes alongside a few local specialities, such as an excellent "bagna caoda". Special mention goes to the superb selection of beers chosen by owner Moreno, which ranges from local craft beers to labels from across the globe. There’s even a beer-themed dessert, the Birramisù. Offering excellent value for money, it is extremely popular, so booking ahead is recommended.

I Portici

regional · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Occupying the atmospheric setting of the Eden theatre, a former late-19C musical café, this restaurant adorned with beautiful Liberty-style frescoes is the perfect backdrop for elegant, well-balanced Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Young, talented chef Nicola Annunziata offers three tasting menus of five (L’Ora Precisa), seven (La Spudorata) and nine (La Luce) courses with wine pairings recommended by the knowledgeable sommelier. If you’re looking for a quieter and more romantic ambience, book a table in the 14C icehouse, with its glass floor providing glimpses of the well-stocked wine cellar b

Trattoria Lanzagallo

Seafood, Classic Cuisine · Bib

€

The spaces have been refreshed – simple yet more contemporary – without losing the venue’s authentic soul. The kitchen remains faithful to seafood traditions, offering a sound quality-to-price ratio, now elevated by a more polished presentation. Not to be missed are the raw scampi, delicately marinated with fine shavings of lemon zest, and the turbot baked in a potato crust, an enduring house classic. To finish, fragrant puff-pastry biscuits, served warm with confectioner’s custard. Long a fixture, and still today, a true reference point in the Ferrara area.

Ca' d'Frara

regional · Bib

€€

In a quiet corner of the center, a small, discreet door opens onto two interconnected dining rooms: modern yet simply elegant. The air is fragrant with Romagna: hand-rolled fresh pasta, tender Swiss chard and ricotta tortelli cloaked in melted butter and Parmigiano, golden oven-baked lasagne, rustic tagliatelle bathed in a richly flavored prosciutto ragù. The main courses are a triumph of taste: tender tongue and succulent cotechino paired with velvety purée and creamy sauces. The finale is sweet and enveloping, with the moist-hearted tenerina accompanied by a small glass brimming with soft, f

Al Cambio

Emilian, Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€€

Situated off the usual tourist trail, Al Cambio serves authentic Bolognese cuisine (as well as other dishes) with a focus on traditional, seasonal meat and fish dishes. So if you’re looking for a genuinely local culinary experience, leave the city centre and allow chef Matteo Poggi to delight you with his cuisine. Don’t miss the guinea fowl breast with truffle-flavoured potatoes. The restaurant is often full, even at lunchtime, so booking ahead is highly recommended.

Locanda Pincelli

Creative, Emilian · Bib

€€

Named after the village’s former postman, an important and charismatic character in this small community, this former workers’ club is housed in a rustic restaurant with a beautiful porch where you sit in summer beneath cooling fans. The cuisine steps away from local tradition to offer creative yet never overly fanciful dishes which are always generous and beautifully presented. We particularly enjoyed the mezze maniche pasta with stewed white onion, sour butter and burnt lemon, as well as the leg of guinea fowl browned with paprika, its own juices and horseradish mayonnaise.
