Al Brindisi

Next to the Cathedral, you will find the characteristic premises “Al Brindisi”(toast), whose documentation proves it dates back to 1435, thus representing the oldest wine bar in the world, attended by important figures such as Tiziano Vecellio, Nicolò Copernico, Torquato Tasso and Ludovico Ariosto.

Tourists flock here, but so do the city inhabitants, and it is a must-do for anyone visiting Ferrara, not just because of the chance of tasting excellent traditional local dishes, but also and mainly because of the  multiplicity of wines on offer.
