La Valle In Volta mantovana

05/01/2025: We stopped for lunch. The restaurant basically has two areas: one secluded and one shared with the bar counter. We deliberately sat in the second one as it gave the impression of an old village tavern. Very friendly and fast staff. A nice note is to provide a decorated entree composed of polenta and beans. For the first courses, we had pumpkin tortellini, gnocchi with gorgonzola and spinach. Abundant and very good gnocchi. The tortelli were quite small but very good (with amaretto crunch to add). I would have some doubts about the two cuts I took: I would avoid putting balsamic vinegar directly on top and they were quite cooked (as a Florentine, these are difficult things to accept:) ) Profitterol: it's a shame that we thought it was the classic black profiterol while it was with white icing and vanilla ice cream. Perhaps an indication from the staff would have been welcome. Anyway, overall a good experience.

04/01/2025: We happened to pass by here with my wife and son by chance. We were traveling for work so we stopped for lunch. It is a good trattoria, good and homemade pusnni. Nice prices!!
