Buriani dal 1967

Ristorante Buriani, founded in 1967 by the Buriani family from the Ferrara countryside, originally served popular, straightforward dishes favored by truck drivers and later expanded to include pizza. In 1990, Alessandra Buriani, an art school graduate and self-taught chef inspired by her grandmother, transformed the kitchen’s focus purely onto regional culinary traditions, leaving behind the pizza heritage. She shaped a dining experience blending tradition with creativity, collaborating with Jeunes Restaurateurs d’Europe to develop a concept that honors and enriches the region’s gastronomic culture. The restaurant is set in a carefully restored historic building featuring three dining rooms—a large, bright space and two intimate, cozy rooms—offering natural and warm hospitality to 30–35 guests. After reopening in 2014 following earthquake damage, it preserves this welcoming atmosphere rooted in respect for local heritage. The kitchen delivers a refined modern Italian cuisine, with a seasonally rotating menu aligned to solstices and equinoxes. Dishes highlight local ingredients and creative interpretations, such as tartare of amberjack with kiwi and black sesame, roasted scallops with smoked butter sauce, and homemade tortelli of rabbit in porchetta with lemon royale sauce. Chef Alessandra Buriani’s culinary vision emphasizes balance between tradition, local sourcing, and innovation.
