I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Pavia

22/11/2025: Excellent first courses (rice with gorgonzola and pear) as well as delicious second courses (veal scallops with artichokes), not to mention the particularly tempting appetizers and desserts. Prices are average. Everything was good and... plentiful. Recommended.

06/11/2025: Great Alfonso with his availability and politeness. Excellent pizzas and ultra-fast service in addition to the price.

07/10/2025: An unpleasant experience due to the rude staff, starting with the phone reservation. Otherwise, the food was traditional, simple, and good. We won't be returning.

03/10/2025: Spectacular! Every dish was a very positive experience, and the service was excellent.

10/01/2026: Very nice place located on a street near the Via Oberdan parking lot. It's convenient because there's parking available, and you don't have to worry about driving around aimlessly. The place is very unique, medieval in style, and they even have board games. The fries are fantastic, and so are the sauces. They also have special drinks and "different" desserts. I've tried some and liked them, others a little less. In any case, I would recommend this place; try it with friends.

06/01/2026: The few times I've been there, I've always had a good time, even if you're not from the area, they're very nice!

19/10/2025: A truly five-star culinary experience, all at a very fair price. I was in a group of 10, all enthusiastic and more than satisfied, all in agreement that the quality of the dishes was outstanding, both in terms of ingredients and preparation. Many of us chose the tasting menu, which was truly lavish (several appetizers, including the excellent gnocco fritto with local cured meats and a Russian salad among the best I've ever tasted; two first courses, including exceptional tagliatelle with venison ragù; the sliced ​​beef served in a tile and topped with arugula and parmesan shavings; desserts, including the chocolate cake, perhaps one of the top three I've ever tasted, if not the best; several bottles of local wine). Add to this the welcoming atmosphere, probably recently renovated, and the kindness, professionalism, and expertise of Carlo, a young man and son, as well as co-owner with his parents. We will definitely be back; once you've discovered excellence of this level, you can't help but plan your next dinner or lunch there.

19/10/2025: There were 17 of us at the Merendero and we all left thrilled! From the first moment, we felt welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The service was impeccable, punctual, without any waits, and always with a smile. We had the welcome truffle entree, house cured meats with fried gnocco, Russian salad, truffle carpaccio, truffle tartar, pumpkin flan with fondue and truffle, parmesan risotto with truffle (it's really good!), tagliolini with butter and truffle, fried egg with truffle, pork fillets on truffle cream, and the wonderful dessert! Every dish was carefully crafted, with top-quality ingredients and a generous helping of truffle, making it all the more special. The carefully selected wine paired perfectly with the meal. I would return a thousand times over!!! A true delight for the palate and for those who love good food in a welcoming and refined atmosphere. Well done👏👏👏👏

18/11/2025: Excellent quality of dishes, friendly and courteous service

11/10/2025: Family atmosphere, cuisine with original, high-quality dishes.

06/07/2025: We went to Ad Astra to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. Excellent experience, well-researched dishes that surprise you. Highly recommended!

16/06/2025: Great, creative dishes with classic technique. Showcasing nice produce and served by a charming local team. Solid 1 Michelin Star level throughout.

31/12/2025: 🏰Locanda La Castellana: traditional cuisine with home-made dishes and local ingredients, in a rustic and welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for a traditional dinner or family lunch! 🍝🍷

24/12/2025: I went for lunch. The atmosphere was very noisy, but the food was decent. The portions were adequate.

06/01/2026: We always order pizza here for dinner at friends' houses. As a celiac, I've always found the gluten-free pizza to be delicious, well-seasoned, and with a nice texture.

06/01/2026: I go there almost every Saturday evening and I always have a great time...the food is divine and the atmosphere is very nice and welcoming, as are the owners and waiters.

12/01/2026: This restaurant is located in the square in front of the town hall. We sat in a very comfortable and warm dining room. The fixed menu offers clear prices: a full meal costs €40, or €35 without a main course. When I say full, I mean a traditional hot and cold appetizer, two generous and delicious first courses, an optional second course (we didn't order one; it would have been too much), homemade dessert, water, unlimited wine, coffee, and the kindness of Giovanna and her mother, who are truly helpful. Definitely worth a try; you'll feel right at home.

07/01/2026: My husband and I chose this venue for our wedding, and it was the best choice we could have made. Giovanna was a delightful person, the food was delicious, the view was stunning, everything was clean and well-kept. A year and a half later, our guests still talk about our day as if it were a fairytale. The gorgeous garden is well-maintained, we had a civil ceremony in the garden, and the restaurant has a special agreement with the municipality. I recommend it to everyone. I recommend the risotto with apple and speck, a delicacy.

29/12/2025: Exceptional food, very friendly waiters, and extremely good prices for the quality of the food. The place is also beautifully decorated with paintings of famous people and references to the city. I highly recommend an evening at Poor Lele's!

27/12/2025: Delicious appetizers, generous first courses, and good second courses. The only downside was the desserts.

01/01/2026: We spent a wonderful New Year's Eve dinner with friends and had a wonderful time. Everything was perfect, from the welcome to the farewell. The food was excellent, from appetizers to dessert. The entire staff was extremely attentive and kind. The passion for good, healthy, and tasty cuisine shone through in every single course. The ingredients were incredibly fresh. The meat and fish were excellently prepared and presented in a unique and refined way. The atmosphere was quiet and quiet, allowing us to converse peacefully and relaxed. The attention to our guests was truly outstanding, and the service was impeccable. A final word of thanks goes to the owner's great courtesy and kindness, who served us exquisite wines and treated us with immense professionalism. A well-deserved 5 stars. Congratulations!

23/12/2025: We went for a pre-Christmas family lunch, with a last-minute reservation. We had a wonderful time and the food was delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, and the professionalism is evident. The Pavese soup is a must-try. One of the family members really appreciated the high-quality vegan dishes. We'll be back.

11/12/2025: Truly incredible service and cuisine. Typical, refined dishes created with love. It was a wonderful experience, definitely worth repeating. Congratulations!

06/12/2025: A return to excellence: the chefs are worthy of a UNESCO World Heritage Site! We returned to Prato Gaio and the experience exceeded all expectations. If we loved it the first time, this time we were enchanted. The cuisine has reached incredible levels of refinement. Obsessive attention is evident in every detail, from the balance of flavors to the aesthetic presentation; nothing is left to chance. We tasted practically every dish on the menu and there wasn't a single off note: a gastronomic journey where each course was better than the last. But the real secret here is in the kitchen: the chefs have a knowledge and a skill that I would almost describe as touching. They are, without exaggeration, worthy of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you're looking for true fine dining, crafted with passion and impeccable technique in a fairytale location, this is the ultimate place. Bravo!

08/12/2025: It was our first visit to this delightful, homey restaurant located in the hills just minutes from Stradella, and we were enchanted. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owners, Odo and Barbara, who immediately made us feel at home. Chef Odo prepared five fresh, freshly cooked dishes for us: all very tasty and with attention to detail. Each course had an authentic and special flavor. The wine selection is extensive and well-stocked, with many interesting labels to choose from. We also had a private dining room, which made the evening even more intimate and special. The overall atmosphere was welcoming, intimate, and truly pleasant. A true gem hidden in the hills. A memorable experience that we can't wait to return to. Highly recommended!

31/10/2025: I always gladly return (though never as much as I'd like) as a guest at what is now called Moi pour Toi home restaurant. But Odo and Barbara's kindness and their welcome are as comforting as the cuisine offered. Each time, there are genuine little surprises. The art of simple yet thoughtful things, offered with the generosity of those with great passion. Anyone reading these few lines will likely think of these as clichés and smugness, but if they have the chance to try it, I'm sure they'll find it hard to prove me wrong. Indeed...

08/01/2026: Excellent raw materials and gastronomy

02/01/2026: Unquestionable quality and great courtesy from the owners!
