I migliori ristoranti in Mantova

06/04/2026: We went to Il Pescatore yesterday for Easter, the second time. The menu was excellent, the same as last year. The private dining room was beautiful, overlooking the garden, and the ambiance was modern and colorful. The price on the menu for all guests was a bit tacky, and the service we received, which as regulars we expected to be different, was disappointing. We received a €20 discount on the €3,120 menu.

28/02/2026: A short story, rather than a review, would be more appropriate to fully convey the experience at this restaurant monument. Indeed, we are dealing with one of the few families—not individuals, but families—who have written the rules of this profession. All this allure leads you to approach us with such respect and curiosity, but also with truly high expectations. Let's clear up any doubts right away: the day was stratospheric. From every perspective. The dishes we savored will certainly be remembered forever, but how could we ever forget the precious time spent talking with Antonio Santini, who honored us with several minutes at the table? For those like me and my friend who love restaurants, it's a bit like a football fan juggling with Maradona. Priceless. The conversation about pumpkin tortelli was memorable, when my companion asked for a sweeter version. With great elegance, the owner explained that the customer shouldn't be a guinea pig in an experiment, but rather recounted the historical evolution of the dish in his family. Then came the masterstroke: from the kitchen came a historic tomato variation, served alongside a classic tortello. The dish was offered. Moving. The service was superb, among the best I've ever seen. The entire staff was commendable, and sommelier Alberto Santin was excellent, recommending a Barbaresco Martinenga 2020 from Marchesi di Grésy, versatile and perfect for the entire meal. I started with the Petit Gris Chiocciole della Pianura with a herb and sweet garlic sauce: elegance, balance, and an irresistible light gratin. Then came the traditional Pumpkin Tortelli with Butter and Parmigiano Reggiano, with amaretti biscuits and mustard. Here, the aim is not to tone down the contrasts, but to enhance them: sweet, savory, and spicy coexist in perfect harmony. Only for the best. For my second course, I chose grilled eel with radicchio from the garden: a dish that speaks to the family's history. The owner summed it up perfectly with one word: ESSENTIALITY. The noble fat of the fish was the star, balanced by the sweet and sour radicchio. Exciting. I finished with the saddle of venison with Cabernet and blueberries, incredibly tender, accompanied by excellent vegetables, especially baby carrots. The final small pastry was followed by a Marsala zabaglione, offered by the owner. We concluded with a 2020 Beerenauslese Cuvée from Kracher, made from botrytized grapes. Thus ended our wonderful experience at Santini's Dal Pescatore. A day that will remain etched in our memories.

21/11/2025: A very charming and intimate place, the welcome and service were friendly and impeccable. Each dish was an experience of well-combined flavors and attention to detail. And let's be clear, this is the word of a meat lover who, to find a restaurant suited to his partner's diet, drives an hour and leaves almost more eager to return than she does. Everything was delicious. Special mention for the bread; I could have eaten 10 kilos of it. Which speaks volumes about the care these guys put into every aspect. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommended.

23/06/2026: My boyfriend and I spent a night at this B&B, and everything was perfect. Mrs. Eva was incredibly kind and welcoming. She left a surprise in my boyfriend's bedroom, as I requested. The apartment is meticulously maintained, and the Jacuzzi on the terrace was the icing on the cake for a fantastic mini-vacation. We'll definitely be back.

05/06/2026: Family vacation for my daughter's birthday. The apartment was very well-maintained and welcoming, with a comfortable kitchen and terrace with a jacuzzi.

The fish was of superior quality, and the price was absolutely in line with the quality. The interior, indeed, was welcoming; I wouldn't say the same about the exterior, but that doesn't detract from what I described above.
