Very welcoming and typical place of the area. Very suggestive outdoor area suitable for summer evenings.
Menu with homemade and quality products. Recommended carp risotto and bigoli with sausage ragù, also very good mixed appetizer with polenta and cooked shoulder

Old-fashioned place, but welcoming. We had lunch outside and it was very very nice. Classic Mantuan cuisine with some revisited dishes. Everything was delicious.

We will certainly return to this small family-run restaurant. We found the dishes of the Mantuan culinary tradition (on and off the menu), the environment perhaps needs a bit of sprucing up, however very informal and welcoming and the courtyard is also really nice, but unfortunately we didn't have the chance to have lunch outdoors. The prices are honest. The staff is kind and precise, even if at the end of the service they exaggerated a little with singing at the top of their lungs which literally prevented us from having a few words with our guests... perhaps it was a polite invitation to leave. The only other flaw is that there are practically no vegetarian options and totally no vegan options.

We were looking for a real Mantuan trattoria, one of those that offer pumpkin tortelli with salamella ragù and "that stand upright", with hot cooked shoulder, psina and pes gatt on the menu. In other words we were looking for the flavors of our grandmother's cooking, and we found them. The furnishings are dated, privacy is replaced by noisy conviviality, and for the more fussy we inform you that there is a squat bathroom. But you eat really well. There is parking, just a few steps away on foot. The photo of the donkey stew is missing, exceptional. Warm greetings and see you soon from the one who still makes pasta with cinnamon, and family.

Here you will find authenticity in the dishes and in the people.
Chef Cristian and his sister, two welcoming people who put you at ease and make you feel like you are in your own backyard.

Da Ginen in Belforte is an absolute time capsule—stepping through its doors feels like rolling back to the 1980s in the best possible way. This unpretentious trattoria serves up authentic Mantuan country cousine, spotlighting the region’s freshwater bounty: tender lake fish, and a host of other once-forgotten delicacies you’ll never see in those trendy, Instagram-chasing spots. Every bite tells a story of local tradition and down-home cooking. If you’re driving from Mantua to Cremona, do yourself a favor and make the detour—Da Ginen is a rare gem that’s not to be missed.

Gentlemen, if you want to take a leap back in time to 30-40 years and rediscover the flavours, friendliness and spontaneity of that time, this is the right place!!
Simple and genuine like the people who work there.
