Trattoria Ressi In Pavia

12/08/2026: A couple's lunch after a short stroll through the streets of Vigevano. The restaurant is elegant and informal. The staff serving us was attentive and friendly. Let's get to what we tasted: we both had an appetizer, a terrine of foie gras with brioche bread and red onion jam. A delicious dish in its simplicity. To follow, a confit goose leg with potatoes and spiced apple puree, and a goose cured meat platter that included cooked and raw goose salami, raw goose ham, and foie gras bread. Choosing this dish might seem like a repeat after the appetizer, but given its variety, it was a pleasant choice. My husband definitely enjoyed the leg. We washed it all down with microfiltered water and a bottle of Barbera, served at the perfect temperature and at a very reasonable price. Two espressos (really well-made) to finish. What more can we say? We'll definitely be back to try other options because we were truly satisfied with our visit. See you next time. T&F

30/07/2026: I stopped for lunch here during my visit to Vigevano, but the experience left me a bit torn. The dishes were good and carefully prepared, but overall the value for money wasn't convincing. The restaurant is very informal, and the location is unremarkable, although the prices are slightly higher than you might expect from the outside. At this point, I would probably have preferred to eat right in Piazza Ducale. The service was average. The biggest disappointment was the goose leg: despite being the second most expensive item on the menu (€26), the portion was quite small, and the side dish was also very poor. Considering the price, I would have expected a much more generous dish. Overall, the food is good, but the location, portions, and value for money didn't entirely convince me.
