Reviews Summary

Diners praise Ca' d' Frara Trattoria Moderna for its authentic and delicious Ferrarese cuisine, generous portions, and the value offered by the 'Ferrara' set menu. While the food is consistently highlighted, some guests note that the lack of air conditioning can make the dining experience warm on hot days, and a few mention that service can be brusque.

"What a Christmas lunch! Everything was perfect, from the atmosphere to the service and the food. We have been here also for the cappellacci in the past and were never disappointed. Until next time!"

Isa Jo

"I had dinner here in early September and absolutely enjoyed every dish. However, one thing to note is that there’s no air conditioning—just open windows—so it can get quite warm and humid inside, especially with no breeze. Something to keep in mind if you're dining on a hot day. The service is decent, but don’t expect fine dining—they keep it very causal. The wine list is bit a underwhelming and overpriced.
I highly recommend the gnocco fritto with prosciutto, and the capelletti in parmesan sauce with truffle shavings is a must-try. The steak tartare was okay, though not particularly memorable. The portions are generous, so if you're not a big eater, an appetizer and one main dish should be enough. We ordered both a primi and a secondi each after sharing the gnocco fritto and couldn’t finish everything. Enjoy your meal!"

J

"Visited for lunch as part of a tour group. Service was good and fast and each dish was explained. We had a puffed savory pastry with prosciutto, a salad with pureed pumpkin, a tortoloni stuffed with pumpkin, a slice of pork loin with potatoes and a slice of locally cured pork, and dessert: a light chocolate cake with vanilla cream."
