I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina mantovana in Mantova

14/11/2025: Frankly, we expected something better. We ordered an appetizer that lacked the signature cured meat, namely prosciutto crudo. Then, the tagliolini with mushrooms had bland pasta that ruined the flavor of the dish. For an appetizer, two first courses, a glass of wine, water, and two coffees, we paid 61 euros. Too much, considering everything.

12/11/2025: Abundant and quality dishes, very good service

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.

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.

05/11/2025: You'll find special dishes. Traditional dishes and those that have disappeared from traditional menus. It's definitely worth a visit.

29/10/2025: We'll definitely return to this small, family-run trattoria. We enjoyed traditional Mantuan dishes (both on the menu and off-menu). The atmosphere could use a bit of a makeover, but it's still very informal and welcoming, and the courtyard is truly charming, but unfortunately we didn't have the chance to dine outside. The prices are fair. The staff is friendly and attentive, although they did go a bit overboard at the end of the service with loud singing, literally preventing us from exchanging a few words with our guests... perhaps it was a polite invitation to leave. The only other flaw is that there are virtually no vegetarian options, and none at all for vegan options.

01/11/2025: Trattoria serving typical Mantuan dishes, with a simple and refined atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Wide variety on the menu; the maccheroncini with stew are recommended.

28/10/2025: Excellent lunch, and the pumpkin tortelli met my expectations. I'd definitely recommend it again.

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 👍

11/10/2025: The location has taken the place of the quality of the menu (a trio of tasteless first courses). Years ago, when it was just a simple trattoria, the food was better and the prices were lower, perhaps because an elderly lady ran it... what a shame!! Oh!....watch your wine list!!!

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.

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.

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 👍

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.

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.

19/10/2025: Try the cured meats appetizer (delicious culaccia and coppa) with fried gnocco (what in Parma they call torta fritta). The rice with puntèl, with frogs, with psína and saltaréi (river shrimp) are delicious. The sliced ​​beef is tender and tasty. The wine list is excellent! Well done!

09/10/2025: First time at this restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised! Everything was perfect! From the location, to the customer service, and the attention to detail in the dishes. The staff was knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. The food was delicious and of high quality. We will definitely be back. The owner's dog was so sweet🥰

20/10/2025: The restaurant overlooks the city's main square and has two rooms, one of which is a cozy, enclosed veranda with a wood-burning stove to heat the space. We ate well, featuring traditional Mantuan dishes and home cooking. The tagliatelle with duck ragù were excellent, as were the sbrisolona and tagliatelle cake for dessert. The prices were fair. The service was very attentive and friendly. We'll be back!

30/09/2025: It's like being a guest at your mother's place. The interior is like being at home. Excellent quality food and friendly service. Prices are excellent, especially considering the quality and quantity. We'll definitely be back.

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.

12/10/2025: Quiet place. Very polite patrons. Excellent pumpkin tortelli. Go there.

19/09/2025: Tasty and quick. Average prices.
