Ristorante Corte Bondeno In Sabbioneta

We've known this place for over ten years. Calling it a place, however, is a misnomer. You don't enter a place, a conventional restaurant; you enter a magical place, a fairytale. Andrea and Ada, two excellent hosts, welcome you. To call them kind is an understatement. The rooms are very welcoming and warm; all rooms are beautiful and furnished with unique pieces. The one with the fireplace is particularly special. It's my favorite. The furnishings create a unique, evocative atmosphere. Everywhere, on the floors and walls, are antiques. Paintings, historical relics, antique furniture, old-fashioned farming tools, Sicilian puppets, records, and a jukebox that Andrea turns on upon request, creating excellent background music. In the kitchen, the chef is Andrea's sister. The cuisine is typical of the area, with excellent cured meats, especially the cooked shoulder, and delicious giardiniera and gnocco fritto! I've never had gnocco this good anywhere else. Not greasy, fragrant, and light! The tortelli are truly special. Not to mention—in the fall—the fried pumpkin, presented in thin leaves with balsamic vinegar. Words fail me... Andrea is a truly hospitable and generous host, enchanting, charming, and pampering. He puts you at ease, aided by the relaxing, serene, fairytale atmosphere of the place. In the summer, you can also enjoy the outdoor setting. When you want to spend time with family, among friends, to live a dream, to be catapulted into another dimension, into an enchanted world, enveloped in magic, then this is the enchanted place we highly recommend.

Enchanting place, the surprise is yours

Andrea, besides being an excellent host, is also a friend. He serves traditional dishes and an excellent bourguignonne. We usually have lunch there and always have a great time.

Nice place, good price, excellent food and welcoming

We arrived by chance without a reservation on a Sunday for lunch. The blonde lady greeted us very kindly and showed us to a table. We ate very well in an atmosphere filled with fresh air and delicious aromas. The portions are generous and the ingredients are top-quality. I highly recommend it.

Very friendly staff. Home-style cooking and generous portions. Beautiful garden!

I'm a bus driver, and I came with 42 people. My group loved it! We had a fantastic meal. The place is truly magnificent; the setting, right in the middle of the countryside, is surprising but absolutely wonderful! The interior decor is eye-catching! I highly recommend it! I went there with a 12-meter bus; it's best to arrive in reverse.

A historic venue with many everyday items. Excellent cuisine and friendly staff, always ready to accommodate your needs.

Welcoming and charming, the food is excellent, and the owner, like all the staff, are very friendly. The collections of vintage items, present throughout, make the experience even more interesting.

In the Sabbioneta countryside, on the recommendation of the B&B where we stayed, we went to this restaurant for lunch. The owner and waitress are friendly and make you feel at home. The food is very good, and the service is quick and informal. A very quaint place, and the pumpkin flan is out of this world!
