Family-run since 1975. The warmth of home.
Restaurant and pizzeria, rooted in Ferrara tradition and the warmth of a timeless atmosphere.
The art of making, with patience and precision.
Our sourdough starter, renewed every day, is the heart of the warm bread that greets every guest. For our pizzas we work with two doughs: a classic one with brewer's yeast, and a gourmet one with long-fermented sourdough.
We select ingredients from producers in the Ferrara valleys, following the rhythm of the seasons and respecting the integrity of each original flavor. There is no innovation without a deep knowledge of the raw ingredient.
Over fifty years. The same family. The same recipe.
Natale Raiti stopped in Ferrara during his military service in 1975. He never left again. He opened Estebar together with Anna. Today the restaurant is run by their three children: Mattia, Marco and Francesco.
Natale's ragù has never changed. Not by a single gram.
Ferrara by night. We're still open.
Estebar's kitchen stays open until 11pm, in the heart of Ferrara's historic center, just steps from Castello Estense.
Over fifty years, in one book.
We collected Estebar's story in a book: from Natale and Anna's founding, up to today. We keep it in the dining room - anyone curious is welcome to browse it. Available at the entrance (€20).
