About
Trattoria l'Ortica is a seaside‑inspired dining gem tucked just steps from the historic walls of Ferrara. Embraced by a lush, jasmine‑fragrant dehousé, the venue offers a quiet, family‑friendly atmosphere where guests are treated like part of the family. The menu fuses fresh Mediterranean seafood—crudos, grilled fish, and vibrant shellfish—with classic Italian flavors, crafted by Chef Riccardo Spadi. Whether you’re after a romantic lunch or a lively dinner with friends, this mid‑priced restaurant delivers stellar taste and authentic Ferrara charm.
