We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance on our way back from a short vacation in Bolzano.
SURPRISE! Very pleasant!
Delicious local dishes; warm and relaxed atmosphere, just what we needed.
All accompanied by a chilled house Lambrusco.
I recommend the simple yet flavorful risotto alla pilota.
I also recommend the Elvezia dessert (it was off the menu at the time).

A lovely, intimate osteria, almost like being at home (in Friuli). Very friendly staff. The macaroni with donkey stew and risotto alla pilota were excellent. Chicory, baked potatoes, water, a quart of red wine, and two coffees. I recommend booking.

Spurred by the positive reviews, we decided to try this typical Mantua trattoria. The dishes are well-prepared, and the place is welcoming.
We had some concerns about the portions and prices, which aren't in line with the concept of a trattoria. Pay attention to the price listed on the menu for the house wine.

While visiting Mantua, we stopped for some traditional dishes once again. The stew was fantastic, and the family atmosphere was welcoming. Finally, we noticed that half the staff was from Puglia, and we also ordered a plate of orecchiette with turnips, perfectly executed. Recommended for anyone who wants to experience the warmth of a typical Mantuan trattoria with a touch of Puglia.

We had lunch at this delightful Mantua/Apulia restaurant, and were immediately greeted by the warmth of Damiano and his staff. They served traditional Mantuan and Apulian dishes, and we also tried some off-menu items; everything was homemade and made with top-quality ingredients. We were absolutely delighted!
Special mention for the desserts: the apple cream with almonds and sbrisolona crumble was a real treat!
Should we ever return to Mantua, it will definitely be a must-visit.

This restaurant is located in the heart of Mantua! Traditional dishes, especially the pumpkin and gorgonzola risotto and the agnoli in brodo (a kind of pasta in broth). Friendly and helpful staff.
