Torrefazione Penazzi 1926: Il Caffè di Ferrara tra Tradizione e Innovazione

Ferrara is a city full of surprises, even in its lesser-known corners. One of these is Torrefazione Penazzi 1926, the domain of Alberto Trabatti, a true coffee artisan who has turned his passion into an excellence recognized by Gambero Rosso as the best coffee in the city since 2007.

A Journey Through Flavor and History

The story of Caffè Penazzi is one of rediscovery. After moving to Ferrara, Trabatti revived the name of the historic roastery founded by Arrigo Penazzi, which had been active until World War II. Today, in his workshop on Via Bongiovanni, just outside the city center, he carefully selects, roasts, and grinds premium 100% Arabica coffee beans, processed using artisanal methods with no compromises on quality.

An Experience to Savor

Visiting Torrefazione Penazzi is not just about drinking coffee—it’s about immersing yourself in a world of craftsmanship. From Alberto’s passionate storytelling about the selection and roasting process to the fascinating Coffee Pot Museum, featuring nearly 200 rare pieces collected over the years, every visit is an experience.

For those looking to discover an authentic side of Ferrara, tasting this coffee is a sensory journey far from the usual industrial espressos. If you’re in Ferrara and want to experience a local gem, a visit to the roastery is definitely worth it.
