We ate some good first courses, bitter tortelli with herbs and pumpkin and some good cotechino

Good food, with fresh, typical local produce; service that's a bit neutral but friendly; very pleasant setting; unbeatable value for money. A good place to eat.

Centrally located restaurant, good food, excellent value. Even though I arrived a little late, the very kind lady reserved the table I had booked. The food was good, and the service was excellent. Reservations are recommended; the restaurant is always busy.

If you're looking for authentic Mantuan cuisine, Antica Osteria Leoncino Rosso is definitely worth a visit.
Here, you'll find the atmosphere of a traditional tavern: a welcoming atmosphere, authentic flavors, and a cuisine that focuses on quality without unnecessary artifice. The pumpkin tortelli are simply excellent, with that perfect balance of sweetness and savory that best represents Mantuan tradition. The agnoli with ragù are rich, flavorful, and prepared with great care, while the braised beef with polenta is a dish that wins you over at first bite: tender, delicious, and profoundly authentic.
And then there are the desserts, a worthy conclusion to a truly memorable lunch or dinner: carefully crafted and sure to leave a lasting impression.
Special praise also goes to the staff, always available, friendly, and smiling. Beyond their professionalism, they know how to put guests at ease with their warmth and a few jokes, making the experience even more pleasant and familiar.
A place where you eat excellently, receive a warm welcome, and leave wanting to return soon. A true gem of Mantuan tradition.

Authentic osteria! Excellent value for money!
I tried the traditional dishes for the first time on the waiter's recommendation.
The pumpkin tortellini were amazing!
Truly fresh pike.
Braised beef and agnolini with ragù, worthy of a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Very good food, a traditional tavern atmosphere, a family atmosphere, and, above all, very reasonable prices despite being in the historic center.
We'll be back soon.

A quaint but very small place (unfortunately, you eat almost right next to other diners).
The food is EXCELLENT, AUTHENTIC, and PLENTY. There's a good selection and a more than fair price.
Friendly and kind.

We enjoyed excellent local cuisine in a truly authentic setting.
The food was superbly prepared, just as we had hoped. We particularly liked the local and regional offerings.
We received a very warm welcome and excellent service.
The price-performance ratio is definitely right.
We highly recommend Leoncino Rosso.
Based on our observations, reservations are absolutely essential.
We've already made another reservation for tomorrow evening.
