La Salmoneria In Pavia

Love the food. Passionate chef!

Amazingly delicious😋! ! ! Èil ristorante più buono di Pavia nel mio cuore～～

If you're ever in Pavia, do yourself a favor and visit Stefano's bistro. Originally from Milan, Stefano has been in the culinary world for over 40 years,and it shows. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a heartfelt experience. Stefano personally asks what you're in the mood for, then crafts something unique with incredible care, using fresh ingredients and his deep love for food. The dishes I had (see photos) were simply amazin, flavorful, creative, and made with passion. It's rare to find this kind of authenticity and warmth. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a true, personal dining experience.

Don't miss out on this special place! It's a bit hard to see, and the entrance doesn't look too inticing, but you'd be wrong to turn back. The owner and chef will personally guide you through today's options (in proficient English, not too common here) and the food will be unique, thoughtful and delicious. If I'm ever back in Pavia, this is where you'll find me

A small, cozy place with a rather unusual setup: the kitchen is right at the entrance, and everything — cooking, serving, even pouring the wine — is done by one person. This might sound chaotic, but it actually adds to the charm. The owner (and chef, and waiter) treats guests like family, with a very personal and humorous touch. Service was understandably not fast, but the atmosphere was relaxed and intimate, which suited our date night perfectly. The food was excellent and quite innovative. My wife had a “shrimp mojito” which was a fun twist, and I started with raw scallops. We both enjoyed the asparagus carbonara, but the highlight for me was the tuna steak — probably the best I’ve ever had. With three glasses of wine, the total bill came to 110 euros, which we found reasonable given the quality and overall experience. Glas is ideal for couples or small groups (no more than 4 people) looking for something unique, personal, and a bit off the beaten path. Highly recommended if you enjoy places where the personality of the owner shines through.

The food was amazing. Dishes are custom made and the menu is decided on the spot based on what the owner has available on the day. This is an interesting concept. The atmosphere is very quiet, low lights and cozy.

English review below: Food: The food was fantastic. The idea of ​​making the carbonara a little lighter with green asparagus is brilliant. You can tell Stefano is passionate about what he's cooking and how. Perhaps a light squeeze of lemon juice could be added to the carbonara (my own idea). Restaurant: It's small and cozy. I think it's just perfect for creating a little space of peace and enjoyment. English version: Food: The food was amazing. I liked the idea of ​​softening the carbonara by adding green asparagus. Stefano's chosen wine was also a great fit. When I was driving to my next place, I thought it would be nice to add some lemon juice.

Simply the best meal we have had in Italy. Stefano is a true artisan. Like having your own personal chef and sommelier for the evening.

A friendly little bistro with imaginative and delicious cuisine made before our eyes by a very pleasant French-speaking owner.

Eccezionale. Non ce ne sono molti di posti così: un one-man-show di una persona molto gentile, creativa che offre pietanze tanto originali quanto particolari. Ci sono capitata per caso e voglio ora condividere la mia fortuna con chi cerca un'esperienza culinaria, non del cibo fatto per le masse. Questo ristorantino è piccolo piccolo, accogliente e veramente pieno di meraviglie.
