Sucar Brusc - Osteria tipica dei Gonzaga In Mantova

This restaurant is located in a side street close to the centre of Mantua and is included in the Michelin guide for Italy in 2025. The premises are modern and the food is excellent. The waiters lovingly describe the dishes on the menu and the list of specials and we enjoyed our meal here. I selected the typical Tortelli from Mantua to start choosing to mix the sweet and bitter varieties and followed this with a delicious and beautifully prepared guinea fowl and drank a local sparkling wine which the waiter recommended. For dessert we had a sampler including the local Sbrisolana with Zabaglione, tiramisu (very good indeed) and chocolate "salami." The meal was not cheap, but we felt that it represented good value, given the high quality of the dishes. Recommended!

Excellent food. Very high quality and above all professionalism of the waiters ....

Attentive and welcoming staff, never intrusive but present at the right point. Excellent dishes with courageous but all well-made combinations, explosions of flavors truly curious to try. We are happy to have chosen Sucar Brusc as a restaurant to dine in Mantua, highly recommended!

What a great dining and tasting experience! Nice atmosphere and very good advice on the wines paring dinner. Good value!!

Ovvero "zucchero aspro", ovvero come veniva chiamato il sale da queste parti. Sono ragazzi giovani e gestiscono il loro ristorante con alcune proposte molto intriganti che prevedono la possibilita' di costruire personalmente il menu degustazione con libera scelta fra le proposte della "carta" e buon rapporto qualita'/prezzo. Al netto della stuzzicante Carta dei Caviali, una "chicca" per estimatori. Quindi ci siamo "costruiti" un antipasto di "Cipolla al gelato", ovvero cipolla bianca dolce al vapore, caramello salato, crumble di sbrisolona salata, polvere di cipolla bruciata e gelato al Grana Padano Riserva. Piatto eccellente, che prende spunto da un altra ...cipolla caramellata di noto chef stellato, e questa opzione mantovana non ha nulla da invidiare a quella piu' famosa, straordinario l'amalgama tra dolce e salato. Tradizione pura con il "bis di tortelli", gustati piano piano, delizia per il palato. E poi lo storione con la sua crema grano e pepe e la polenta di riso. Dolce: a tutta Mantova, con la pregevole torta di rose e la sbrisolona, purtroppo in versione forse troppo ...mignon. Trattandosi di menu degustazione, le porzioni sono corrette (ad eccezione della sbrisolona), apprezzato l'abbinamento di cinque calici, quasi tutti vini del territorio, servizio puntuale, preciso e competente nelle spiegazioni. Locale piacevolmente arredato con tavoli ben distanziati e alle pareti 18 orologi che intendono riferirsi ai quartieri di questa bellissima citta'.

We enjoyed the tasting menu with wine pairing. Excellent service, meal and wine.

Quality food and service, but what I really appreciated was their fabulous Tiramisu, the best I've ever tasted in my life!

Imaginative cuisine with informed and attentive staff. They had buffalo roast on special, what a delicious treat! Well worth a visit

first of all, to the management: get somebody on toilet duty... after visiting the toilet i skimmed through tbe reviews here and we are not the only ones to complain. if i posted the picture here, nobody whod read it would come. that thing aside - some food was great (pappardelle), some was mediocre, some we didnt like. did not live up to the hype we expected and definitely not to the Michellin standard in our eyes.

Delicious food and very convenient if you want to eat out!
