Osteria I Bassotti - FERRARA

Quite off the beaten track. Food was simple Italian fair but cooked to perfection. Host spoke a little English and was warm and welcoming. A lot to like about this place and I think we were lucky to get a table as he was turning people away, so if you can book ahead and secure a seat in this awesome find.

This is not a restaurant-pizzeria. It is a restaurant. And it specialises in typical hearty ferrarese food. It is magnificent. I was with a group of friends on New Year 's Eve. Most people chose two courses from appetiser/starter/main course side dish and with different wines galore then coffees we ended up paying €30 each. Considering the restaurant is in the Old Town of Ferrara and considering restaurant prices in Italy on New Year 's Eve can easily triple, the price was eminently reasonable. I went for a mixture of cold sliced meats as an appetiser followed by a huge cotoletta bassotta steak beans as a side. Giacomo, Pietro Paola who run the restaurant are also extremely friendly, wonderful human beings.

We stopped by this small osteria that was recommended by our hotel concierge. There is a spacious dining area that is fairly causal, but comfortable. The menu is traditional Ferrarese cuisine with daily specials. The wait staff is accommodating and made modifications for the kids meals which were brought out immediately. The food quality is reasonably good and prices were in line with expectations. We walked in and were able to get a table. It’s a good option if you don’t happen to have made reservations during busy lunch times and weekend dinners.
