07/08/2025: Convenient ice cream shop in the town center. Unfortunately, the clerk who served me was truly inexperienced and inadequately trained. She assembled the cup poorly and even forgot to include one of the flavors I chose. Prices are above average.

15/03/2026: It's rare for a dinner to combine nostalgia, surprise, and authentic gastronomic pleasure. That's exactly what happened last Friday at Trattoria degli Scalini, in the small village of San Matteo delle Chiaviche, in the municipality of Viadana, just a stone's throw from Mantua. The occasion was special: a reunion of middle school friends. Even more special was the fact that the host—owner, manager, and chef—was one of us. There's no denying it, our curiosity was high. The evening opened with a platter of seemingly "classic" cured meats: Parma ham, salami, and pancetta. Ingredients that on paper no longer surprise anyone, but here they demonstrated how quality makes all the difference. Accompanied by fragrant bread, they fulfilled their role perfectly: breaking the ice and preparing the palate with simplicity and authenticity. The first real surprise came with turmeric gnocchi wrapped in a gorgonzola cream. A dish that to call balanced would be an understatement: soft, enveloping, yet surprisingly light. Each bite was an invitation to the next, with that rare feeling of wanting to slow down to savor it while simultaneously hoping the dish would never end. The second course, macaroni with stew, confirmed the solidity of the cuisine. The meat, likely beef or donkey, was incredibly tender, almost buttery on the palate. If I really had to find a small flaw, it would be the creaminess that could have been slightly creamier. But it's a minor nuance in a dish that remains extremely convincing. The red wine pairing, without wanting to delve into sommelier technicalities, complemented the first courses admirably, particularly enhancing the depth of the stew. The finale was a true triumph of tradition. First, a chocolate tenerina, melting and intense, free of the bitter notes that sometimes dominate cocoa desserts. Personally, I would have appreciated a light sprinkling of salt, perhaps a few Maldon crystals, to create an even more intriguing contrast. But the real highlight was the other star of the dessert: the famous Torta Sbrisolona, ​​a gastronomic symbol of Mantua. Crumbly as per tradition, rich and fragrant, it capped off the dinner with that rustic elegance that only great traditional desserts can offer. A round of applause undoubtedly goes to the dining room and kitchen, but the greatest recognition goes to Chef Marco. His journey is clearly evident: study, determination, and the desire to continually grow. It's the story of someone who has built himself step by step, with passion and sacrifice. The advice for those who decide to stop here is simple: come in slowly and take your time to enjoy the experience. Because at Trattoria degli Scalini you can find something that is increasingly rare today: the sincere soul of an old Mantuan trattoria, reinterpreted with care and pride. Sincere congratulations to the whole team ✨️
