I migliori ristoranti in Mantova

13/11/2025: While visiting the area we made a reservation via the website and received a message saying they cannot confirm our booking. I asked if they were open at all they replied that they were but could not confirm the booking. I asked what time they were open until thinking if they couldn’t seat us maybe we could order and take it with us. Being off season there weren’t many vegetarian restaurants open so we were pretty much counting on this one. After asking several times this is the exact answer I received :” I’m sorry, you don’t understand, its not a question of being open or closed, its a question that we cannot confirm your reservation. “ I found this extremely rude and decided head to Verona instead. Since I can't respond to the response for my review i am updating instead: I will update that i received your response and i'm sorry but i just can't accept what you are now saying. You could have replied: "sorry we are closed for a private event, would you like to come another time?" Instead here as and exact copy of the conversation from whatsapp: Hello Me: Can we come for lunch today? 2 people you: I'm sorry, we cannot confirm your Booking. Me: Are you open today? You: Yes we are, but i cannot confirm your booking Me: Until what time are you open? you: Again, we cannot confirm your booking me: I understand But we want to come without a reservation Unless you are closed. What time do you close? you: I’m sorry, you don’t understand, its not a question of being open or closed, its a question that we cannot confirm your reservation. You could have just said there was a private event. I suspect you did not want to host us specifically for some reason..

01/11/2025: My wife and I happened to be in the historic center of Castiglione delle Stiviere on a gloomy Saturday in November. It was the usual time for looking for a place to grab a quick bite, certainly not a proper lunch. It felt like we were back in the COVID era; there wasn't a soul around, and all that was missing was a civil defense vehicle urging residents to stay indoors through a megaphone. The only open trattoria, unfortunately, required reservations, but the owner kindly directed us to a certain Mutty, further down the road, where we might find something to eat. Google listed the place with "books, exhibitions, cuisine." Wow! What a strange combination. Unconvinced, we arrived and went in. We were quite old when we entered... but by the time we left, we had undoubtedly aged significantly. Nothing to complain about the dishes offered; they are a triumph of vegetarian and vegan cuisine, elaborately prepared and elegantly garnished and served. Great music and a modern, original atmosphere. If we hadn't had more than a hundred kilometers to travel home, we could have stayed put ad libitum. Remember, however, that from Mutty you enter a particular state in which the curvature of spacetime undergoes a transformation according to the concept of general relativity. You could exit Mutty and find yourself face to face with Rodolfo Gonzaga in the Castiglione del Lago of 149...almost 1500, and then perhaps you too would want to go and stop Christopher Columbus so that a Donald Trump never becomes President...

05/09/2025: A gelateria that wins you over at first taste: the gelato here is creamy, fresh, and made with high-quality ingredients, crafted with a unique artisan touch. In addition to the classic creams, the water-based gelato and granitas also surprise with their lightness and authentic flavor. The presentation is always elegant and meticulous, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and there's no shortage of refined packages dedicated to special occasions and parties, perfect for making every moment special. A place that truly deserves top marks and where it's natural to return to discover new delicacies. If you're in the area, definitely stop by!

31/08/2025: Delicious cake. The staff is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Boni by name and by nature

15/11/2025: The food was average, nothing special. The welcome and service left much to be desired; I won't be returning.

11/11/2025: Modern and welcoming place, food reservation via tablet and very fast service, very good dishes with a lot of choice, nice novelty, well done...

12/12/2025: A small but elegant and very welcoming place, full of newspaper clippings that give you a sense of the place's history, which is reflected in the dishes served. We had the pike with polenta and the pumpkin ravioli, both simply amazing. For an appetizer, we had cheeses with a spicy and delicious apple mostarda. The staff was extremely kind (and also very elegant!) and helpful. We had a wonderful time, we will definitely be back.

08/12/2025: Excellent food, small room, bathroom not the best, overall rating 8 👍

27/11/2025: Excellent local pizzeria: light dough, super-fresh ingredients, and always friendly service. Every pizza is a pleasure from the first bite to the last. Highly recommended!

01/09/2025: The place is welcoming, just like the people serving you. Good food and quick service. If you clear the table yourself, there's no cover charge! Excellent value for money. Excellent choice for a quiet evening with friends, especially since it's just a short walk from the city center.

29/11/2025: Great beers, amazing burgers, super friendly staff, and live music! Highly recommended!

13/11/2025: I went to Castel d'Ario for a walk, and I happened upon this place by chance, I ate really well.

08/11/2025: The best pizzeria in Roverbella, if not in the entire Mantua area!

06/11/2025: I ate here for a birthday. The space is large, with rooms that accommodate many customers, which means the noise level is above average, especially when there are groups of children and teenagers who are barely supervised. The service is confusing; the waiters serve each pizza with its own name without informing the customer whether the pizzas have different toppings or not. This caused confusion in our case, because identical pizzas with added or removed toppings were delivered to people who hadn't requested them. The pizzas aren't exceptional, but the price is reasonable for the food and service.

07/11/2025: I've been going to Il Grappolo for a long time now. It's practically like being part of a big family, especially during this time of year with the large fireplace lit. Parking is very large and convenient. The food is always excellent, from the cured meats appetizer to the first courses (two or three first courses per meal...) to the second courses (also one or two per meal), to the desserts (two or three) that are truly excellent. Coffee from the moka pot is excellent. The wine is also very good, both the white and the red (both sparkling). The prices are super competitive. And what can I say about Cristina...she practically does everything from the kitchen to the dining room service. I'd recommend this restaurant to friends, suitable for both couples and large groups (the two dining rooms are very helpful in this case).

29/10/2025: Rustic atmosphere; great for casual company. Hearty, home-cooked food. Everything is homemade.

01/09/2025: We had a great time with some friends at this bar on a Tuesday night. We enjoyed the very warm welcome from the man who ran the bar. We laughed a lot and had a great time in good company. I don't know if it was the manager, but this man who spoke French and the woman who accompanied him were really, really friendly.

29/08/2025: A good place for a lunch break: friendly service, reasonable prices, and a (disabled-accessible) restroom.

07/09/2025: A truly top-notch restaurant. The chef has international experience, and it shows. High-quality dishes, a good wine list, and impeccable staff. The price is right for the quality.

26/06/2025: Definitely a Michelin star restaurant. Better than other starred restaurants. I recommend the tasting menu.

16/12/2025: It exceeded our expectations! We went over the weekend and had a really good time. Fresh, tasty fish, welcoming, friendly staff. I highly recommend it.

08/12/2025: Friendly and welcoming staff. The "Nostromo" calzone with fish filling is delicious. The tagliolini with squid ink is also delicious. For dessert, I recommend the "Belgian pudding," a combination of coffee, caramel, and cocoa.

03/12/2025: I had a tiramisu-flavored ice cream and it was impeccable, one of the best ice creams I've ever tasted, the artisan touch makes it unique, excellent service and a welcoming and clean environment, honest price.

29/09/2025: One of the best ice-cream ever 👌🏽

02/10/2025: I've been going to this pizzeria ever since it opened, with my mother and friends. The pizza is very good, and the atmosphere is very pleasant, quiet, and simple—these are the hallmarks of their success. I feel sorry for the husband.

26/09/2025: Pizza is always special. Mena is even more special ❤️

17/11/2025: Excellent pizza and fish 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

16/11/2025: We had dinner at this restaurant, and everything was excellent. The place is a warehouse used as a pizzeria, and it was a little too noisy for my taste.
