I arrived late, after my friends had finished their lunch already. The staff were kind and flexible, serving me food at 2:30pm while my friends sipped their wine. We had really nice beef tartare, several types of pasta, anchovies and salad. Friendly, relaxed environment, good choice of wines. A nice touch: there’s local art on the walls, and the owner’s LEGO collection is displayed around the restaurant: it’s interesting and fun to spot LEGO characters and sets all around you.

We ended up as a rebound from another lazy restaurateur, who refused us despite the reservation due to the chef being unwell, we thank him for recommending the champion's tavern to us. First of all we were welcomed with a smile at 2.10pm, a truly welcoming environment, with an 80s flavor due to the Legos and other furnishing memorabilia. In addition to the conditions, the food experience satisfied us completely. Delicious Tuscan appetizer, top-quality braised sweets, spaghetti alla guitar with scottona ragù cooked properly, compliments to the kitchen. Good house Merlot wine, we are about to order desserts but the 5 stars are already well deserved. Keep it up, well done!

I was there for work with the theater, so this is not a fully valid review. The service was courteous but was a little disorganized (perhaps due to the particular occasion of the festival), food average, portions not exaggerated. Room with exterior and interior located along corridors. The lego collection at the entrance is particular :)

A very particular, atypical place, within these ancient walls you can still breathe the authenticity and delicacy of traditional Italian cuisine. The staff is very efficient, knowledgeable and courteous.

Welcoming tavern, courteous staff and good food, with dishes and wines from Mantua and Tuscany available.
Quite long waiting times (don't come if you have other appointments after dinner).
There was a mix-up regarding the wine, we ordered a Chianti Riserva but a normal Chianti was brought to us without being notified. Only after pointing it out did they confirm the change to us. Furthermore, the bottle was brought with the corkscrew inserted into the cork, which had already partially come out of the neck.
Another small detail: the menu on the blackboard is not updated, so some dishes may be missing.

My partner and I came across this place, driven by the positive reviews and its proximity to the historic center of Mantua.
We were immediately struck by the originality of the LEGO-themed place and with particular paintings!
Among the various choices proposed we opted for a typical Mantuan starter and two first courses (the dish of the day which was candies filled with Lambrusco braised meat and spaghetti alla guitar with Chianina ragù from the menu)
Despite a fair wait we found the dishes to our liking and in the right portions and at the right price!
The restaurant's gesture of offering us a glass for a small mix-up was appreciable!
Absolutely recommended

Locale carino con personale molto cortese e servizio abbastanza veloce.
Buoni i tortelli di zucca con burro fuso, ravioli ripieni di gorgonzola e noci con pezzettini di prosciutto crudo croccante, filetto di manzo accompagnato con cipolla caramellata., ingredienti di ottima qualità, la carne sembrava burro. Prezzi nella media.
