Sucar Brusc - Osteria tipica dei Gonzaga In Mantova

Beautiful place, very attentive, young and fast staff, excellent food, we will definitely be back, rating 10

Mantuan cuisine revisited and updated. Excellent and punctual service, fair bill. Excellent value for money.

Creative modern Italian cooking which produces intense, delicious flavours. Reasonably priced for the quality, especially the wine. But a few weaknesses detract from the pleasure of eating here: bread is poor - underbaked and slightly stale. Millefeuille pastry (in the stunning chicken liver and plum dish) should be much crisper and lighter - maybe assembled too far in advance? Poached peach was hard/under ripe. Papadelle stuck together in places so undercooked. Stir the pot! In a place like this, pasta should be perfect but sadly we didn’t feel that even our gentle mention was welcome. A mobile phone ban would also be good! Customers walking in on their phones, taking calls at the table spoils the atmosphere. Even so, the memorable flavours and creativity make this restaurant a special experience.

A cute and unique place, friendly staff, and delicious, unique dishes. I think the prices are a bit high, but I still recommend it.

Excellent quality of dishes, elegant location with attention to the smallest details, the guys are prepared and present at the tables... compliments to the staff... highly recommended!

Excellent restaurant. Fabulous staff.

If you find yourself in Mantua, stop by at least once. A truly comprehensive experience of how to create cutting-edge dishes using simple ingredients. Impeccable service!

A lovely little place recommended by the owner of the B/B La Mainolda. We had a great time. The food was good, and the waiters were kind and courteous. I highly recommend it.

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!

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'.
