27/05/2025: La Loggia dei Cereali is a restaurant located in a truly suggestive position, right under the arcades of the historic center of Montagnana. The environment is well-kept, with a rustic but elegant style, and offers a pleasant atmosphere both inside and outside, especially on sunny days. It is the type of place that attracts for the location and the idea of offering cuisine with natural ingredients and particular attention to quality.
The menu is varied and interesting, with a proposal that ranges from pizzas with alternative doughs (such as the one with cereals) to vegetarian dishes and lighter options. The ingredients seem fresh and carefully selected, and the philosophy of the restaurant clearly aims to offer a different experience compared to the classic bars or restaurants in the area. The wine list is also well-studied and includes local labels.
The staff is young and courteous, available to explain the dishes and give advice, even if at times the organization seems a little lacking. During my visit, at a time when it wasn’t particularly busy, the service was quite slow: we waited over half an hour for two simple dishes and the same amount for desserts. This partly compromised the experience, making us lose that sense of pleasantness that a place like this should convey.
The prices are also worth considering: not excessive, but not cheap either. Some dishes, especially the platters and the more elaborate options, don’t seem to justify the cost entirely, both in terms of quantity and flavor. The desserts, on the other hand, were a positive note: well-made and with a good balance of flavor.
Ultimately, La Loggia dei Cereali is a place with great potential, which impresses with its location and the underlying idea, but which should improve some aspects of the service and the coherence between price and quality. A visit may be worth it, especially for those who appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and attention to ingredients, but there is still room for improvement to make the experience truly memorable.
