I'd like to review Scacciapensieri to clarify the service, which is good. Wait times are normal considering it's a Saturday lunch with at least 90 seats. The quality/price ratio is very fair. The menu is varied.

Excellent appetizers, don't miss the platter of cured meats, cheeses, and mustard. The first courses are very good, the second courses excellent. Traditional cuisine with excellent products.

The restaurant overlooks the city's main square and has two rooms, one of which is a cozy, enclosed veranda with a wood-burning stove to heat the space. We ate well, featuring traditional Mantuan dishes and home cooking. The tagliatelle with duck ragù were excellent, as were the sbrisolona and tagliatelle cake for dessert. The prices were fair. The service was very attentive and friendly. We'll be back!

It's a shame there's no air conditioning. Good food.
The first course was plentiful. The bread wasn't exactly inviting. It was a business lunch. Overall, it's okay.

Saturday lunch with my mom: We had a wonderful and friendly welcome from the wait staff (Andrea) and the chef, who delighted us with their traditional local cuisine and their explanations of the dishes and the history of the town. We ordered the charcuterie and cheese platter with their own homemade mustards, which were excellent, accompanied by a refreshing Lambrusco. This was followed by a delicious risotto alla Mantovana! We tried a very special Lambrusco passito and a Passito di Pantelleria with Piedmontese goat's cheese. Finally, they offered us a taste of tagliatelle cake and sbrisolona with nocino and their own licorice liqueur. A little restaurant from another era, where you feel right at home: it makes you want to return soon! Congratulations!

The terrace on one side of the main square is very pretty.
Very friendly, attentive service.
Traditional cuisine with local ingredients, including their own production, such as Muscovy duck and garlic; tasty, light dishes.
Thin, well-measured pizza with top-quality ingredients and easy to digest.
Simple, delicious desserts.
Wine by the glass is also available at reasonable prices.
Disabled access, including a shared bathroom: if you arrive and there's no parking in the square, don't leave. Set your GPS to "Carabinieri" and it will take you to the street behind the square, where you can easily find parking. Once you've parked, it's a few minutes' walk to the restaurant.
