Fodor's Review:
What used to be a well-stocked enoteca (wine bar) with a few nibbles has become what locals now know as the "Ferrara block": the enoteca has expanded to become a full-fledged restaurant, a wine bar, and a gastronomic boutique taking over a good section of one of the area's most famous streets, Via del Moro. The renovations have resulted in an airy, modernist destination, with incredibly comfy high-back chairs mixed in with smaller colorfully tiled enoteca tables. Service can be iffy to slow, and, in the end, the results coming out of the kitchen are less consistent than the space is gorgeous. A fine starter is the ricotta and herb-stuffed zucchini flowers sprinkled with crispy pancetta, or perhaps the zuppa di moscardini, a lightly spicy tomato broth with baby octopus and croutons. Primi include a risotto of the day and a rigatoni with a coda alla vaccinara (stewed oxtail) sauce. And seconds range from seared tuna in a sesame seed crust to roast pork with prunes. But true to its enoteca roots, it's the wine selection that impresses here. It calls itself a wine bar, but Ferrara's menu makes it a bona fide restaurant with a carta dei vini the length of a short novel.

Not our kind of Restaurant
Posted by dorie from America on 4/15/07
This was not the Rome restaurant expierence we were looking for. After visiting Rome many times we found this restaurant not to our liking. The food was not even adverage, the service poor and uncaring and certainly not worth the visit or cost
