I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina mantovana

12/12/2025: A small but elegant and very welcoming place, full of newspaper clippings that give you a sense of the place's history, which is reflected in the dishes served. We had the pike with polenta and the pumpkin ravioli, both simply amazing. For an appetizer, we had cheeses with a spicy and delicious apple mostarda. The staff was extremely kind (and also very elegant!) and helpful. We had a wonderful time, we will definitely be back.

08/12/2025: Excellent food, small room, bathroom not the best, overall rating 8 👍

14/11/2025: It's like feeling at home, the perfect welcome, the excellent service, the varied and delicious food. You're not just a customer, you're "the customer." I love this family, and I couldn't be happier than to recommend them.

05/11/2025: Very welcoming place with kind and accommodating people

06/12/2025: We braved the fog to arrive here, drawn by the menu and the rustic feel. We found what we were looking for: a true Mantuan restaurant. It's a shame we weren't hungry enough to try more dishes; we were spoiled for choice. I can recommend the donkey stew, the carp fillets, the exceptional persimmon sorbet, and the sbrisolona cake with zabaglione. If we have the chance, we'll be back.

30/11/2025: Mantuan tradition on the table. Da Ginen is a monument to cuisine. From agnolini to snails and sbrisolona, ​​every dish is a tradition. The rustic courtyard is pure poetry: dining here should be under the patronage of UNESCO.

05/11/2025: Too much waiting, the only lady serving calmly went around the various tables and took orders very slowly, the first course was good but the pasta was overcooked, for 15 euros a dish it is unacceptable

03/11/2025: For my son's graduation, we celebrated with the family at Bice. There were eight of us, and we ordered platters as appetizers, followed by three first courses recommended by the owner, water, and a bottle of Franciacorta for dessert—the delicious bignolata. Everything was excellent. The only negative note, and I'm truly sorry to say this, was the bathroom. Since my mother is wheelchair-bound, she couldn't use the restroom because it's a squat toilet. I thank the owner again for her courtesy.

23/11/2025: Excellent food...a lunch to remember... Good fried dumplings filled with fillings. Excellent first courses, as were the sublime second courses. Exceptional stew.

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.

19/11/2025: A beautiful trattoria serving traditional Mantuan dishes. I went for lunch to try Mantuan cuisine and enjoyed all the dishes. The first courses were delicious, and the meats were excellent, served with appropriate side dishes. The finale was excellent, with a fabulous Elvezia cake. The service was quick despite the restaurant being packed.

13/11/2025: A wonderful culinary experience during a very brief two-day visit to Mantua. We shared a charcuterie appetizer. Then came the restaurant's signature entrees: maccheroncini allo stracotto (a type of stew) and pumpkin tortelli. Main courses: stew with roasted polenta and boiled meats, accompanied by salsa verde (green sauce) and Mantuan mostarda (mostarda mantovana), which (unfortunately, I didn't know) is made only with apples: excellent. A mezzanine of Lambrusco and water. Everything perfect.

08/11/2025: Everything is very beautiful, you can feel the air of "once upon a time..."

14/10/2025: We had dinner and slept in a special place, the flavors of the past, we had a great time and we'll be back 👍

22/11/2025: A simple menu with an excellent selection of traditional first and second courses. The cured meats and desserts are also delicious. For €40, you can enjoy all courses in a casual atmosphere with friendly service. Book well in advance.

12/11/2025: A guarantee of Mantua's gastronomic excellence. You can never go wrong.

20/11/2025: A well-maintained restaurant, excellent service, and friendly staff. The traditional food is excellent in every way, from appetizers to main courses. The dessert selection is simply breathtaking! I highly recommend it and will be back soon to try other delicacies.

13/11/2025: A must-try when I'm in the Mantua area... always a sure thing, spectacular riso alla pilota with melt-in-the-mouth chips... impeccable service and incredibly friendly service. The dessert trolley is out of this world, that alone would be enough to make me want to go there... kudos to you, I've been going there since 2015, the year my friend Dino introduced me to it... I'll be back as soon as possible.

17/11/2025: A good restaurant in the center of Mantua. Friendly staff, authentic traditional dishes, and reasonable prices. The place is small, so reservations are required.

17/11/2025: A mostly awful experience. We came in on a late Sunday afternoon around 2:20 PM. They immediately seated us and five minutes later asked us what we wanted to eat, repeatedly emphasizing in a less than polite manner that the kitchen closed at 3 PM. We requested several mini-courses so we could try various items, but this was denied without explanation. The dishes came out: risotto and sausage with no connection whatsoever, spicy duck tagliatelle, and pumpkin ravioli, which were delicious, but it was a shame they were drained on the plate. We then ordered dessert because the kitchen was closed by then. Another disappointment: the chocolate and pear cake, where you had to look for the pears, and the sbrisolona, ​​which wasn't the best. It was a shame because from the location and other reviews it seemed to be a good place.

02/08/2025: Very kind owner. 100% recommended

29/06/2025: The ideal restaurant for a couple's dinner. It ranges from 'cacio e pepe' to 'ramen', a mix of Italian and oriental cuisine, all accompanied by a wide selection of fine wines. A warm and welcoming environment embellished by a beautiful wall bookcase that makes the atmosphere a bit similar to that of a literary café. There are also tables outside. Convenient parking spaces on the street. (it is an internal road with no traffic at all). The bill is really honest.

24/11/2025: A welcoming restaurant with excellent staff and a host who truly knows his job... you can see his passion and professionalism... excellent food... so compliments to the kitchen too... attentive service... well done everyone... a place you'll always want to return to.

23/11/2025: We ate very well, the menu changes according to the season and availability.

21/10/2025: Typical Mantuan cuisine, from the Pumpkin menu to the Frogs and Snails specialty. Very characteristic atmosphere.

19/10/2025: I love snails, both sea and land, but unfortunately they're not easy to find in Sassuolo and the surrounding area. The place is quaint and welcoming, the service is fast and very friendly. My wife and I had fried snails, stewed snails with polenta, bourguignonne, and then pumpkin tortelli, sbrisolona cake, and coffee. Everything was fine for us. I'm looking at around €40 each. It's worth an hour's drive. Congratulations 👍

15/11/2025: It's hard to find such a good pizza in all of Mantua and its province, congratulations.

14/11/2025: Passing by, I stopped in with my wife and a small, welcome dog. We had a delicious cured meats appetizer and a Mantuan risotto. I must say, it was divinely good, and the staff were very friendly. I'll definitely be back.
