I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Pavia

06/11/2025: Excellent welcome and service. Very pleasant historic venue. Excellent food. A wonderful discovery.

02/11/2025: This somewhat hidden osteria offers excellent interpretations of classic recipes. I opted for the liver as my main course. Wow, wonderfully paired with the side dishes. Accompanied by a great wine recommendation by the glass. Superb ambiance and very attentive—yet unobtrusive—professional service. The price-performance ratio is excellent. In short: a culinary gem!

02/10/2025: The order was quick, but the wait between appetizers and first courses was objectively too long: an hour between appetizers and first courses. So much so that we finished our glass of wine before the first courses arrived. Finally, the first courses arrived (two plates of Spätzle with speck/hazelnuts/amaretti): both were too runny, soaked in cream, which led us to leave the plates there almost untouched. Too bad. They didn't deduct them from our bill... but it must be said that the waitress, when she saw them, at least offered to have them remade. Good cheese selection. Prices overall are okay for a city center location.

25/09/2025: Excellent dinner experience, a cozy and quaint place. The dishes were well-executed and very flavorful, and the wine list was excellent. The prices were reasonable, considering we're downtown.

24/06/2025: Il locale è molto bello, curato, dentro e fuori, pulito e ben arredato. Ogni tanto io e il mio collega abbiamo cenato o pranzato, ci siamo trovati bene anche per la qualità e la varietà dei cibi. Però dopo ieri sera non credo che ci torneremo. Porzioni scarse: due antipasti, gnocchi alla romana fuori menù veramente miseri, due dolci ( che fatica seguire il modo in cui il cameriere lì elenca, glieli ho fatti ripetere tre volte), due calici di vino servito aperto, senza nemmeno assaggio. Il totale di 99 euro è stato veramente il colmo. Ho mangiato pesce di alta qualità in località marine di livello e non ho speso mai questa cifra. Mi dispiace, si può fare di più nelle porzioni, di meno nei prezzi e parlare un italiano comprensibile.

31/05/2025: Servizio accurato, personale attento, proprietario molto gentile e accogliente. Ottimi piatti con ingredienti di prima qualità. I fuori menù deliziosi. Guado è una garanzia

27/11/2025: Everything was delicious, I've been going there for years! Highly recommended, excellent food, and everyone was very friendly.

16/11/2025: It's always a pleasure to return to Trattoria Quaglini, a regular stop for over 20 years whenever you want to eat well, spend time with friends and family in a unique atmosphere, and be greeted, as always, with a kindness that's rare these days. The Quaglini family is a prime example of how to create quality dining, using excellent local ingredients at fair prices. Hospitality is a strong point of this trattoria, with the staff friendly and always available to meet customer needs. Warmest regards to Marco, his son Marcello, and the entire staff.

09/11/2025: Sunday lunch The place isn't very large, but it's nice and well-kept, and it's fully stocked, so it's a bit crowded and noisy. The fish was excellent; we chose scialatielli alla liparota, and the mussels were excellent, very fresh, as were the clams and prawns. We also had pasta with sardines, tasty and delicate. Afterwards, we shared a mix of calamari and prawns, peeled, tender, and delicious. Finally, we had cannoli with very fresh ricotta. In short, a good lunch!

06/10/2025: I really liked it. The staff is friendly and professional, and the dishes, mostly seafood, are delicious and reasonably priced. The chef is very friendly and quick. We'll be back and will recommend it.

08/11/2025: We stopped in because it's close to the Carmine Church, and were pleasantly surprised. The radicchio and shrimp risotto and the swordfish steak were both delicious and satisfying. The desserts were excellent. The service was quick and courteous. Good value. If we return to Pavia, we'll probably return for the pizzas, which looked very interesting after seeing them at other tables.

02/11/2025: The pizza itself is not bad, prices are affected by the location in the historic center but I still found them above average: €55 for three pizzas, water and three coffees seems a bit too much.

14/09/2025: We had dinner last week. A villa with a retro feel bordering on stale. The food was adequate (serving coppa di testa, a cheap cured meat, in a place like this is unacceptable considering the prices). The chocolate salami was made without biscuits and was sticky. The portions were very small, and the tagliolini with sardines were decent. The service was slow and inattentive. Despite the place being half empty, we even had to wait for the menus, and there was a lot of noise from the kitchen.

23/05/2025: Everything was perfect, thanks for the hospitality and the excellent food, accompanied by a splendid barbera

05/11/2025: Personally, I found the welcome and service to be subpar; the atmosphere didn't convey any warmth. The ravioli filled with braised goose were nothing extraordinary, but the butter and hazelnut sauce certainly didn't enhance them. The veal with tuna sauce, fried chicken, and hazelnut cake with zabaglione were all delicious; the zabaglione dollops were really small.

01/11/2025: Pleasant location, refined food in the Lomellina tradition, carefully prepared dishes. The wine list is displayed, minimal but sufficient at first glance.

28/10/2025: I've eaten here twice. The owner is incredibly kind. The food and service are top-notch. They take great care of their customers; my son and I are celiacs, and the attention they paid to us was exceptional. Highly recommended!

23/10/2025: For my birthday dinner, we chose Locanda del Carmine. The location is on the charming and central Piazza del Carmine, yet never crowded. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, and we sat on the veranda overlooking the square. The staff is friendly, and the service is impeccable. All the dishes were excellent in terms of the quality of the ingredients, the presentation, and the meticulous preparation, and the portions were adequate. The menu also includes vegan/vegetarian dishes. The wine list is impressive, with options from around the world, catering for all tastes and budgets. Note that half bottles are available, although the selection is limited. There's also a spirits list with a wide range of interesting options. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the dishes and the service.

04/11/2025: Simple but good dishes, the service makes you feel at home.

01/11/2025: Good quality food but very small portions.

13/10/2025: We went there for the first time for a fantastic exhibition at the castle. Excellent experience, warm welcome, attentive and friendly service, especially from the young man. The dishes were quality. We ordered mushroom risotto, pumpkin gnocchi with gorgonzola, etc. Everything was very good. I confess I would have liked to try the pizzas too. Recommended 👍

06/10/2025: For a quick lunch, I arrive at this place at 2:32 PM (closing time is 3:00 PM) and am rudely asked not to sit down, shouting, "There are plenty of other bars around here." Refuse.

18/10/2025: Excellent pasta and desserts! Family atmosphere and very good service.

18/10/2025: The best pasta I ate on this trip to Italy. The desserts were also delicious. I highly recommend this place.

13/11/2025: I went to eat with my partner. The service was good, as the waiter was very kind and helpful. He was perhaps a little rushed and pressured us to choose dishes quickly, but overall he was a good waiter. I'd give the waiter an 8 on a scale of 10. As for the food (and I'm giving my opinion as a chef), the fried appetizers were average, perhaps a little too spicy, and I'd give them an 8/10. The moussaka had almost no meat and a lot of flavor, but it was passable. I recommend adding meat because it was almost nonexistent, and salt to the béchamel sauce because it was tasteless. The dish I chose was lamb skewers. The side dish of mashed potatoes that accompanied them was good, but the skewers were chicken and not lamb, which I noticed, but I didn't want to ask for a change because I was hungry. Even though the chefs clearly looked at me once they handed me my dish, they were watching me to see if I'd noticed. I hope it wasn't done on purpose, although I still have doubts, but they were an 8.5/10, cooked to perfection and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The fries, on the other hand, were excellently fried, but I'd recommend not serving them with oregano because not everyone likes it. The sauces, on the other hand, were excellent, both the tzatziki and the spicy eggplant sauce. The pita bread, perhaps a little too rich in oregano, but excellent. Overall, I'd give the restaurant itself a 7/10. If you want to try Greek food in Pavia, it's a good option, but I'd only go back occasionally.

01/11/2025: Excellent Greek restaurant with deliciously prepared dishes. Cozy, typical atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. We'll gladly return when we're in Pavia.

25/09/2025: Roby cooks delicious dishes for his guests, made with lots of love.

13/08/2025: Excellent, satisfied... Everything ok, even the price... Recommended 👍👍👍

08/11/2025: Another level... And the pizza, besides being delicious, is easy to digest and always made with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients...

22/10/2025: Quiet, friendly staff, good selection. Fair service. I recommend checking to see if there's room on weekends.
