Makore

About

Located in the historic center of Ferrara, Makorè is a contemporary fine‑dining restaurant that blends Italian culinary craftsmanship with a modern, airy ambience. The concept was born a decade ago under the guidance of Chef Denny Lodi Rizzini, who curates a menu that ranges from traditional Italian dishes to daring, inspired creations featuring seasonal seafood and international flavors. The space is intentionally minimalistic, accentuating the elegance of each plate and the clarity of the extensive wine list, which ranges from classic Italian reds to thoughtfully curated international selections, including innovative non‑alcoholic options. Guests can choose from a variety of tasting flights: the 4‑course blind menu (€50), 6‑course blind menu (€70), 8‑course blind menu (€90), and the flagship Decennial tasting menu (€110) which celebrates the restaurant’s ten‑year legacy with a ten‑course sequence of signature dishes. For those who prefer a more flexible experience, the “Chi Sceglie… Prova” option allows diners to pick at least two ingredients out of five seasonal categories, with a starting price of €25 per ingredient (minimum €50). Each course is paired with a suggested drink, and the menu adapts to the season’s bounty, ensuring freshness and culinary innovation. Makorè is more than just a dining venue; adjacent to it a full‑service fish shop offers freshly‑caught fish from the Adriatic and inland waters, underscoring the restaurant’s commitment to quality and traceability. The combination of a high‑end kitchen, a curated wine experience, and the convenience of on‑site fish shopping makes Makorè a distinct culinary destination for locals and visitors alike. The restaurant prides itself on impeccable service, a welcoming atmosphere free of small children, and a dress code that encourages smart, polished attire. Reservations are recommended during the busy summer months and for special tasting menus, but the restaurant remains open for walk‑ins on weekdays and weekends between 19:30 and 22:00, with lunch service on Fridays and Saturdays from 12:30 to 14:00. For holiday schedules (including closures on Christmas and New Year) please consult the official website or contact the restaurant directly.
