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.

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.

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

In the heart of the Po Delta, a romantically secluded farmhouse on a tiny islet welcomes guests in a suspended atmosphere, amid unspoiled landscapes and surprising wildlife. Before entering, pause for a moment: the silence is broken only by the song of dozens of birds populating the lagoon. In the kitchen, fish reigns supreme, celebrated in classic preparations such as golden-fried seafood and the steamed fish salad with vegetables and house-made mayonnaises – from traditional to an intriguing squid ink version. Eel dishes are a must, including the typical preparation over embers. In season, a

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

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

A restaurant and an inn in a small country village, it’s the right place if you’re looking for hospitality and you appreciate the regional cuisine, made of snails and frogs, but also fish from the nearby sea. Something for every palate.
