I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lombardia

03/11/2025: The location is a bit dated but typical of the Pavia hills, but it could use a bit of a refresh without distorting its character... the staff is friendly and the owner is very knowledgeable. The food is good, but, at least in my opinion, the portions are a bit small, as if the quantities were calculated mathematically based on the number of diners. The tasting menu is a bit pricey compared to other agriturismos in the area. Upon payment, we were offered a digestif and a bottle of red wine. EDIT TO PREVIOUS REVIEW: Reiterating what I've already said, we wanted to try the restaurant again yesterday. Given the €55.00 asking price for the full menu, including drinks and coffee, yesterday we ordered à la carte as suggested by the owner...now, rather than à la carte, it was the waiter's memory that was telling us, given that there are no traces of written menus with prices. However, we ordered two appetizers, which were served in small bites and not as complete as at other tables, given the total disorganization of the service (Russian salad and cold cuts rolls never arrived), and only one first course (we had asked for pumpkin gnocchi and received a risotto with sausage). We didn't complain, however, given how long we had already waited for the appetizers. Then, surprise, after requesting it, a bowl of freshly made Russian salad arrived, completely disjointed and tasting of seafood given the amount of salt. We asked for two desserts, a chocolate salami and a meringue, which were served still iced. We forgot about coffee or anything else. We specify that we ordered a bottle of white wine and a bottle of still water, as well as, at the end, half a liter of undrinkable straw-yellow house wine. Having said this, at the cashier, the owner, after having us list what we ordered, prints out receipt number 3 (!!!!), charging us, almost as if he were doing us a favor, a whopping €80.00. The receipt says number 2, fixed menu!! The details of what we ordered clearly don't exist since, since there is no written menu, the prices are made up on the spot. To be fair, the bill would have been €81.00 verbally, but we were generously discounted by €1.00. CLEARLY NEVER AGAIN!

02/11/2025: A heavenly experience: Sunday lunch is a must-try. Everything is served with a smile and a rare kindness. Exceptional cured meats, fried gnocco, fried vegetables, various first courses, three extraordinary first courses (the risotto with salami barely beats the braised beef ravioli), a mix of roasts accompanied by potatoes, green beans, and salad. Desserts are mouth-watering. As for the wines, the house deserves a special mention: the selection is amazing, the still white was remarkable. The house dessert... what more can I say? No time wasters. No rushed people. Each course is savored slowly. While it's raining outside and fog reigns in the Po Valley, inside—also thanks to the wine—there's a family atmosphere and authentic aromas that even a discerning Calabrian can appreciate. You are fantastic. An unforgettable lunch!!!

13/09/2025: Good food, very tasty. Very friendly service. Also English and German. We've been here twice and would come again. Far away from the tourist crowds. Large parking lot. Great.

24/10/2025: A dinner dedicated to truffles in a restaurant where they are brought to the forefront. No regrets, from appetizer to dessert. No hesitation in choosing the truffle-themed dishes. It's hard to imagine that even a "simple" plate of spinach could be delicious, yet it succeeds! The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, capable of putting guests in the best possible position to enjoy all the delicacies available.

21/10/2025: An excellent restaurant for sampling local specialties, with top-notch service and top-notch quality and refinement. What can I say? Anyone who finds themselves in the area must try it. We reached it by bike along the Po River cycle path, and it was a great experience.

14/09/2025: I discovered Niniva during a lunch with friends on the shores of Lake Como. The host hired them for a catering service, and it was a truly pleasant surprise. The quality of the dishes is unquestionable: the high-end ingredients used are excellent, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Among the various gourmet dishes we tasted, all featuring shellfish, the ravioli with shellfish bisque deserves a special mention. The dessert, tiramisu, deserves a special mention. This dessert is notoriously the most popular in the world, and unfortunately, its popularity means that we often encounter mediocre, if not downright questionable, products. This was not the case with Niniva's tiramisu, which, despite respecting the traditional recipe, was unanimously deemed by all diners to be extraordinary. The table service was discreet yet attentive, professional yet unpretentious. A truly wonderful experience.

02/11/2025: Lovely place to have a nice brunch with friends over the weekend!

31/10/2025: Very interesting place with friendly staff. It's not a Michelin-starred restaurant, but it's a pleasant place precisely because it's informal. A great place for a night out with friends. Tonight, a very enjoyable evening with a jazz trio.

04/11/2025: I really like the choice of dishes, especially because they are light and also convenient

27/10/2025: Passing by, I decided to stop for a business lunch. Good food and excellent selection.

10/10/2025: The owner is a very cheerful and friendly person, and the staff is also helpful. The food is so good. I wish this business good luck.

10/10/2025: I went here for a quick lunch. The menus aren't exactly cheap for the quality and quantity offered, but there are plenty of options, and it's worth it. The sartù was good, the eggs and potatoes were not bad. The service was friendly but really SLOW. We were practically forgotten about, both before and for the coffee... The location was nice, but it was too hot. Would I go back? Yes, even to try the pizza, which looked good.

06/10/2025: Now, after 50 years, this wonderful address is unfortunately taking a break. As long-time guests, we sincerely hope that this wonderful story will continue at a new location in the region. Enjoy some time off now; you've worked so hard and so well! Update 4/10/25: We spent three days in Milan, but it wasn't the same without visiting you. We sincerely hope for your comeback!

24/05/2025: Vastissima scelta di formaggi e salumi ,se sei un amante del risotto qui caschi benissimo...molto ricchi i piatti ,locale un po' vecchio stile,gentilissimo il personale .
