Ai Tri Scalin
Locals pack into this simple, half-paneled room near the city walls at mealtimes (best to reserve for dinner) to enjoy the ages-old dishes their grandmothers used to make. Grilled salami da suga, the city’s famed sausages, are the preferred starters, followed by maccheroni alla ferrarese, a concoction of pasta, béchamel sauce, truffles, and ground beef baked in a pie crust. By now you may have figured out that the Ferrarese are shameless carnivores: Cotechino, boiled sausage, is served with a rich salami sauce, and lamb chops or steaks are seasoned with green peppercorns and grilled to perfection. The dessert of choice is tenerina, the city’s own version of chocolate cake, with a crunchy crust and creamy interior.
