24/03/2026: SUPER
Location: isolated...but quiet and welcoming. SERVICE: courteous, attentive, and well-timed. MENU: I went with a group on a "trip" to discover the area. The menu was agreed upon. Good, thoughtful, and plentiful. Price included in the participation fee. Recommended. You can also purchase products they offer at the table. Well done!!!
02/03/2026: Yesterday I celebrated my mom's birthday at a place that would be an understatement to call "agriturismo": Agriturismo Pecora Nera, a true temple of Mantuan cuisine nestled in the Quingentole countryside.
Here, you can feel the authenticity from the first bite to the last. The owner makes everything in-house, from fresh pasta to more elaborate dishes, and you can taste it. Each dish exudes passion, tradition, and rare care.
The appetizers won us over immediately: the sbrisolona with Parmigiano Reggiano, prosciutto, and mustard was amazing—a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. The pork tuna was also truly excellent, flavorful and incredibly tender.
The bigoli al torchio with Lambrusco, pancetta, and cheese sauce? Simply extraordinary. A rich, enveloping first course, the kind that makes you close your eyes at first bite. The tagliatelle with truffle was simply splendid!
And then the duck escalope with orange, pine nuts, and raisins: delicate yet bold, with a perfectly balanced sweet-citrus contrast.
The desserts are very good, but a special mention goes to the trio of sweet salamis: delicious, creative, and irresistible.
The wine pairings are also excellent, carefully chosen and perfectly in tune with the dishes. Fantastic service: welcoming, cheerful, never intrusive. They make you feel at home, but with the quality of a high-end restaurant.
Plus, you can purchase some of their artisanal products—from sbrisolona to mustards, from cooked wine to other delicacies—to take home a piece of this experience.
Excellent value.
An authentic, sincere place where you eat truly well and leave with a smile.
Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back. ❤️
