Trattoria Giacomo In San giorgio di mantova

09/11/2025: Beautiful place. Everyone was very helpful. Fantastic food. I'll definitely be back. One downside is the limited parking. But it doesn't affect the quality of the food. Highly recommended.

02/11/2025: Craving gnocco fritto and tigelle and having been unable to find a table at any of the popular Modena restaurants, I saw that this restaurant nearby offered them, so, encouraged by the positive reviews, we dined here on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is simple but well-maintained, both in the dining room and on the veranda, which, of course, has Plexiglas walls in the winter. I imagine it's very popular in the summer. The quantity of cured meats, sauces, gnocco fritto, and tigelle is generous and more than enough for two "normal" people; I must say, however, that it's a bit far from the gnocco fritto and tigelle you'd find in typical Modena restaurants. The gnocco fritto wasn't greasy, but the dough was a bit bland; the tigelle lacked firmness on the inside, and when you cut them, only the crispy sides remained. We probably chose the wrong dish; the menu features both traditional dishes and dishes with unusual combinations, especially the first courses. The orange, chocolate, and chili tart was delicious, served hot. I recommend keeping the kitchen door closed, as the room filled with the smell of fried food. The service was friendly, fairly quick, and attentive (though not everyone was). A bit of confusion when it came to the bill, but it was resolved. Competitive prices. Would definitely try again another time.
