"Brick arches and white walls serve as a backdrop for Gianni Taroni's cuisine, which covers local classics such as pasticcio di maccheroni tartufato (a 15th-century dish with pasta, meat, truffles and puff pastry)."

Marisa Fumagalli

"Place to enjoy traditional dishes, like salama da sugo."

Di Testa e Di Gola

"Although it is a very caloric dish, rich in fat and protein, the sausage that Mario brought us was very delicate. The mashed potatoes that accompanied it were a suitable base for that pronounced flavor."

Adriano Frosi

"To be enjoyed with a spoon, accompanied by mashed potatoes that serve to lighten the strong flavor of the sausage. Not to be missed!"

Adrian Woodford

"Saturday's salama da sugo, a somewhat old-fashioned speciality of Ferrara, was more earthy. It is essentially pig's liver and tongue stuffed into a pig's bladder, cured in wine and served on pureed potatoes. Or to put it another way, the finest bangers and mash you'll ever eat."

Amor Di Vino

"Exemplary pasticcio di maccheroni in sweet pastry crust."
