Boxing Day lunchThe place really deserves a treatWelcoming, warm and hospitable environmentExcellent cuisine, we ate both river fish and first courses, all deliciousTo finish with the equally delicious dessert.Excellent serviceAffordable prices, excellent quality/price
A real leap in time.A trattoria that invites you to go back in time, when carts passed over the bridge over the Oglio and the drivers stopped here for a break....Now the bridge is closed because it is unstable and cordoned off, but the Trattoria is always open, clean, bright, with the tables tidy as in the past...Very kind service, traditional Mantuan dishes, perfectly made, endless wine list, tasty and inviting desserts....Here I tasted grilled catfish for the first time: exceptional...Come calmly and for a moment you will feel like you are traveling in a world different from the metropolitan frenzy...
Truly an exceptional discovery...We will definitely return to this trattoria restaurant on the banks of the Oglio river.Excellent service, very long wine list and very typical and characteristic dishes as shown in the photo.I highly recommend the fried river sauté as an appetizer and, for those who have never tried it, the fried catfish (you can't find it in any restaurant)Fair and honest price.
Really excellent dinner. All very good dishes, from starters to desserts, really honest prices. If I were to be in the area again I would definitely stay here again. The Ravenna area
THE TRADITION OF GOOD CUISINE CONTINUES: it was no longer in the past after Vania took over....I had good memories and I feared change; I was happy with it: except for some dishes, the others are traditional and intelligently revisited: use of spices, which is rare, very delicate in complementary flavors to enhance the raw material of the dish. Only note... eliminate the Lambrusco at 10, not because it's low priced (well done) but because the blend of grapes just doesn't work, at the same price you can find peasant Viadanese (like Corte Frati or Reggiani like Settecani) which are more full-bodied and balanced without cost increases. However, congratulations to the two chefs who were able to adapt well to tradition without distorting it.
Amazing local food!!!! Between pasta and meat... you’ll be delighted. Super exquisite desserts.Owners very receptive and friendly.
Traditional dishes, a delight for the palate. Welcoming and relaxing environment, very friendly staff. A very pleasant lunch.
Warm and welcoming staff.Typical dishes based on freshwater fish, very carefully prepared.Excellent choice of raw materials.Excellent value for money.
