Ristorante Dufu - 都府 In Pavia

As soon as you enter, you immediately realize that the food is the star here: the place is simple, the atmosphere informal yet welcoming. The service is quick and friendly, without frills. The menu is a real surprise: typical Manchurian dishes, a cuisine that blends Chinese, Mongolian, and Russian influences. I started with the boiled dumplings filled with pork and shrimp: delicate, yet with a bold flavor. Then the cod broth with tofu, intense and comforting. The highlight? The bacon braised in a red tofu sauce: soft, flavorful, with a captivating spicy note. I also tried the lamb skewers and the steamed rice and pumpkin parcel with chestnut cream: a simple yet surprising dessert.

Authentic place, fresh and tasty food. Homely and very welcoming atmosphere. Cinzia is amazing!!!

Great food, speedy service, and friendly staff make this little place a fantastic find

Very friendly staff, nice restaurant. I did a vertical ravioli tasting, since they make it themselves, so I tried various types. GARLIC, GARLIC, and more GARLIC. The annoying kind, which covers the other flavors and stays in your mouth for many, many hours! No thanks, really. It's a shame because they're very kind.

We took the advice of some friends and tried this place right away! Needless to say, the ravioli were delicious, just like everything else we tried. New favorite place ✨✨

A small restaurant in the heart of Pavia. The owners are very friendly and helpful; they welcomed us and gave us advice, and I must say that all the dishes were delicious and well-prepared. A wonderful evening to repeat!

Typical Manchurian cuisine. The quality is high. The handmade dumplings are a must-try. The other dishes are generally better than at other Chinese restaurants. Of course, they charge for the quality, so the prices can seem a bit high. Recommended.

We had a truly wonderful meal! The dishes are carefully prepared using fresh ingredients. Their ravioli are a real specialty: flavorful, well-cooked, and handmade. The rest of the menu also offers many delicious options. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive; we felt welcomed and cared for throughout the dinner. We'll definitely be back!
