"Great place for anyone who wants to try typical cuisine of Mantova region.
Located close to the town centre, restaurant has an AC system which really helps during the summer months.
Tortelli di zucca is a must try, delicious recipe and very generous portion.
Highly recommended."

"We had an amazing experience at this restaurant yesterday. From the food to the service, everything was perfect. The staff were incredibly attentive, helpful, and explained the entire menu to us in detail, which made the dining experience even better. The owner was also very kind and made sure we felt well taken care of. Even though we didn’t have a reservation, they managed to find a table for us, which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and outstanding service.."

"Typical Mantuan restaurant, nice atmosphere, well-prepared and very friendly staff. Excellent food. We tried tortelli di zucca, the traditional bread gnocchi, and an appetizer with polenta and cured meats. Everything was excellent. All accompanied by a great Lambrusco. If you are in town you have to stop by!"
