We stopped just for a day trip in Ferrara and wanted to eat traditional food from the region close to the historical center of Ferrara. Big Night has been a perfect choice, just in front of the Castello. To make sure of tasting original dishes with local ingredients we ordered the tasting menu of the "tradizione", deeply rooted in the... More

I always stay at Hotel Ferrara, so I am regular at this restaurant. Food is great and service is the best. If you do not see something in the menu that you like or need a recommendation, ask Diego, he is the friendliest and most accomodating host/chef. He always makes my fav dish: Tuffle risotto and it is delish !!!!

The restaurant was empty when we arrived and not much better when we left so the atmosphere was poor and the staff overwhelming, the food was really average, although you did feel like they where trying really hard, it just wasn't working for us

Our appetites were not up to a truly big night, so we shared an antipasto and then had two first courses of pasta. The restaurant is attractive and the staff make you feel welcome immediately. The menu is divided into a fish section and a meat section, with tasting menus offered in both sections. The wine list is immense and... More
