I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina mantovana in Lombardia

11/04/2026: It was our only certainty from the weekend we organized last Mantua. This osteria is a must-try for those who want to try traditional dishes. We focused on the first courses, all delicious. Special mention for the picon risotto. The atmosphere was peaceful and everyone was very friendly. Recommended!!

11/04/2026: A typical Mantuan osteria, with an informal menu, rustic wooden tables, and narrow spaces that evoke the typical conviviality of these places. The cuisine is traditional, featuring all the delicacies of the Gonzaga family. The service is fairly quick but attentive. The final bill is average for the city.

04/02/2026: The dishes were really good, made with top-quality ingredients. It's a shame the service was too slow, but it was very courteous.

25/01/2026: A third-generation trattoria, a guarantee of tradition, quality ingredients, and attentive service. I always return with pleasure. 😎

17/04/2026: We didn't have a good experience, a bit presumptuous in our opinion.

13/04/2026: Amazing trattoria. Risotto for 10, roast beef for 10, desserts for 11. Stop by and try this unique experience.

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

07/02/2026: This historic restaurant isn't particularly striking for its slightly retro decor, but for its delicious cuisine and meticulously prepared dishes. Excellent service, kudos to you. Fast service. Recommended.

02/02/2026: I'm revising my previous review. This is a historic Mantua restaurant. Traditional dishes, but sometimes, in the kitchen, they lose their composure. On the last occasion, for example, we were served a first course that, to call al dente, was simply too much. What's disappointing is not seeing a smile. In other words, there's a lack of "friendliness," and that's a shame: perhaps the customer would appreciate it.

31/03/2026: Beautiful place, excellent food, and very welcoming staff. The quality of the food is definitely higher than the price. Highly recommended.

30/03/2026: The more time passes, the more stars it continues to lose. The quality and portions are increasingly poor, and the prices are unfairly rising. They're probably trying to recover the revenue lost due to COVID. Let's start with the dishes: the bucatini with guanciale and Pachino tomatoes were SWEET, no thanks. The zucchini gnocchi, however, were good and just the right amount of flavor. The tuna carpaccio was too salty; I add salt and pepper myself; if you bring me the carpaccio covered, it might be a problem for someone. Finally, the bill: €5 for a glass of house Valpolicella is way too much, not to mention the €5 cover charge (paper napkin and placemat, and a basket with four pieces of bread and focaccia for two people). The service has never been excellent, but it doesn't seem to have changed.

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.

08/04/2026: Welcoming place, congratulations to all the guys!!! We'll gladly return.

05/04/2026: Delicious and huge pizza, good fish.

19/03/2026: Dinner with relatives at grandma's couldn't convey the family warmth of Ginen. It's like going to lunch with old friends. Phenomenal traditional dishes, no American-style fare, no gourmet bullshit. Here you eat deliciously and in abundance, drink well, and laugh heartily. There's no better trattoria in Mantua, guaranteed! Low prices and quality like a lunch at a grandmother who wants to pamper you.

17/03/2026: We visited this trattoria for dinner. We immediately felt at home thanks to the informal atmosphere and the friendly owners. The food was excellent and the prices were very fair. We will definitely be back.

18/04/2026: Il Leoncino Rosso is a hidden gem in the heart of Mantua's historic center. This small but welcoming restaurant perfectly embodies the soul of traditional Mantuan cuisine. The intimate, family-friendly atmosphere immediately captivates you, making you feel at home. The menu is a triumph of authentic flavors.

18/04/2026: We had lunch, excellent traditional Mantuan dishes at very reasonable prices. The outside is beautiful, under a grand vault.

27/03/2026: What a pleasant surprise! A family atmosphere, traditional dishes made with high-quality ingredients. Impeccable service. Fair price. Highly recommended.

15/03/2026: It's the first time I've been to this wonderful restaurant, we stopped by chance as today is my birthday

10/04/2026: I used their online wine shop service. Not only did the owner, Corrado, respond immediately to repeated questions about the products and terms of sale, but they also held a high-value bottle aside for over a month without even a deposit. When it finally arrived, it was perfect, and the shipping was super fast. Courteous and professional, among the best.

21/03/2026: I've dined at this restaurant twice, with family and as a couple. The atmosphere is very refined, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the owners have created a pleasant personal atmosphere. The quality dishes, including traditional Mantuan and Asian cuisine, are top-notch, and the service is truly attentive. Excellent experience.

10/04/2026: I had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant and was truly thrilled. The dishes were simply excellent: the risotto with artichokes and pecorino was creamy, perfectly balanced in flavor, and truly refined. The Fassona beef carpaccio was also of the highest quality, incredibly fresh, and prepared with great care. The attention to the ingredients and the passion in the kitchen are clearly evident. The service was impeccable: the staff were kind, helpful, and professional. A truly pleasant experience in every way. I will definitely return and highly recommend it!

07/04/2026: Unfortunately, I can only give 3 stars, and only for one reason: we tourists didn't know that Amaretto is added as a "spice" to the famous pumpkin pastries. It wasn't mentioned on the menu, nor was it pointed out when we ordered. The children didn't want to eat it, and some of the adults didn't either. The quality was certainly excellent, but I'm disappointed that it wasn't made clear that this gives the filling a very distinctive, sweet flavor. It's simply not for everyone. 04/04/26

15/04/2026: Excellent food but above all excellent service

12/04/2026: Very welcoming and intimate place Excellent service Top-notch dishes Excellent value for money

09/04/2026: I won't be returning. Paid too much for the food and the truly poor service. There are many better restaurants in Mantua! An important detail: the stairs leading down to the bathroom are terribly steep and narrow, not accessible to everyone.

06/04/2026: Very high expectations, the restaurant recommended by the B&B owner as one of the best in Mantua. It won the show with Bastianich. We were greeted coldly upon arrival; we waited a bit for the table we'd reserved the day before to become available. After a good half hour, the first courses arrived, but one was missing, arriving much later. The tagliolini in white veal ragù was very good, the pumpkin tortelli were good but not exceptional, and the agnoli with butter and sage were average. The problem was the small portions, but that's how it is. We ordered a beef stew, which unfortunately took another hour to arrive (it was good, but by then we'd lost our enthusiasm), and the potatoes never arrived at all. There was a general sense of confusion, and the service was unwelcoming (€4 each) and rushed. Other tables also complained about the delays. The prices were too high for what was on offer. The place is unrealistic, and there's much room for improvement in many areas.
