Di solito frequentiamo il posto per aperitivi o per cocktail serali, ci siamo andati a cena e non posso che fare i complimenti, tutti i piatti realizzati con prodotti di alta qualità, complimenti

Consigliatissimo per un ottimo aperitivo ed una buona cena bistrot in Centro a Mantova. Conosco molto bene i titolari, che sanno guidare con perizia il cliente nella scelta dei diversi cocktails e piatti, che variano in base alla stagione. Locale molto ben arredato, accogliente sia in estate che in inverno, validissima "alternativa" ai vicini soliti posti unicamente da aperitivo.

Il locale ha come caratteristica quella di essere un connubio fra accoglienza in stile originale e vagamente retró. Il titolare è un affermato e piacevolmente sapiente, colto e tatuato barman, con professionalitá ineguagliabile. Il personale indossa magliette con frasi spiritose e aforismi in tema di vini e liquori e si destreggia in modo disinvolto con i clienti stranieri. L'accoglienza è giovane, fresca e non invadente. La gentilezza è un segno distintivo che vale per tutti: titolari e personale

Il locale mi ha subito incuriosita già dall' esterno, vedevo oggetti d'arredo non comuni ... Una volta entrata la positività del locale e del ragazzo al bancone hanno soddisfatto le mie aspettative. Piatti curati e ricercati, così come i pezzi d'arredo, vini e gin ... Complimenti veramente! Una piccola osservazione... La ragazza che collaborava nel servizio un po' troppo fredda con il cliente, faccio anch'io questo lavoro, un sorriso ti fa' guadagnare immediatamente 5 stelle, detto ciò CONSIGLIATISSIMO!

Entering this venue is like embarking on a true sensory journey. Here, the art of mixology isn't improvisation, but pure mastery: each cocktail is carefully crafted, balanced, and prepared with almost sartorial care. You can sense the passion behind every gesture, the attention to detail, and the profound knowledge of spirits, which are enhanced with bold yet harmonious pairings. Every sip tells a story and surprises the palate. But the real magic happens when the drink meets the cuisine. Mantuan tradition is respected, reinvented, and enhanced through original ideas and unique dishes, hard to find elsewhere in Mantua. This isn't your average offering: here, we dare, experiment, and create something different, without ever losing sight of the local spirit. Authentic flavors interact with modern interpretations, creating an intense and memorable gastronomic experience. Making everything even more special is the impeccable service. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and always discreet, but a special mention goes to the young woman in the dining room: smiling, professional, and instantly putting you at ease, she exudes passion and care for the customer, decisively contributing to making the experience even more pleasant and welcoming. This is not just a place to enjoy good food and drinks: it's a place where passion, creativity, and quality blend in perfect balance. An essential destination for those seeking something special, surprising, and meticulously curated. A true excellence that leaves its mark.

Great atmosphere and quality food! Highly recommended if you’re not looking for a touristy place.

We went for an aperitivo on a Saturday evening in October. Immediately drawn in by the elegant atmosphere, we also enjoyed the food. A fruity gin and tonic and a Campari-based cocktail, accompanied by chips and taralli. The price was reasonable and fair for the quality.

Grilled squid on a green pea purée, with spicy croutons and cherry tomatoes. Grilled octopus on a delicate potato purée, cuttlefish ink, pimenton. Both dishes were very good, worth repeating.

The restaurant you don't expect. It looks like just a cocktail bar, but in reality, it's a top-notch restaurant! Spectacular cuisine with unexpected flavors. The restaurant is small and makes the most of the outdoor terrace. Reservations are recommended, but it's worth it. Helpful and friendly staff.

Excellent surprise. Close to all the sites but no tourist trap. Add - my wife is a vegetarian. They prepared a special plate for her!

Excellent home made Pasta, in a calm side road close to the main streets of Mantova. The service is good, and I assume (due to the different Tonics and Gins and ingredients at the counter) that it is an excellent Cocktail Bar as well. The chef knows what he's doing: the sage sauce was not overpowering, but complementing the very specific sweet taste of the Tortelli di Zuca, which are a specialty of Mantova. The Tortelli resemble Ravioli, but the dough is so thin that you can see the filling - a sign if hone-made, excellent pasta. The filling consists of a créme of pumpkin with a relatively sweet mustard base, it is excellent and a dream for vegetarians. The value for money is fair. All in all: Mille Grazie, 5 Stars, I want to return already! PS: I do enjoy that the portions are, compared to other european restaurants, small - they are not, in fact, but just right and not overflowing the plate. This adds to the dishes!

La cucina non è tipica mantovana, ma vi regalerà piacevoli sorprese. Ricca la carte dei vini. Location di gusto appena fuori dal centro più affollato e rumoroso. L'interno è delizioso, così come il servizio

Bel locale nel centro di Mantova. Pochi posti a sedere, disponibili anche tavoli all'aperto. Diverse proposte sia di cibo che di vini e cocktail. Piatti curati e buona qualità. Consigliato

The menu is really, really limited. The service can appreciate training. But the main course (we had octopus and salmon) was fantastic.

Il cibo non è male, anche se nell'antipasto mancava il salame, la tartare era un po' troppo condita, i tortelli indietro di cottura e mancava sale, ottima la carne salada. Ho ordinato un calice di bollicine e mi hanno portato un sorso che, dato il tempo di attesa, ho bevuto caldo. I ragazzi molto gentili ma un po' di errori nel servizio e i tempi davvero troppo lunghi hanno condizionato il voto finale. Consigliato se c'è poca gente...

We were waiting to be served for an eternity, the young waiter spoke zero English and seemingly did not have the patience to deal with our questions. (We wanted a non-fizzy drink for our 10-y-o, he just said water; in other bars she was offered juice or even fruit juice cocktail) When he brought our cocktails, did not bring snacks with them, even though everybody else got the usual little salty whatevers. We dared not to ask any further so decided not to eat, except my teenager who ordered pasta from a very nice waitress. It came rather quickly and was excellent. It’s a pity that we had a bad taste by the young guy, hardly ever happens in Italy.

Definitely one to avoid. I am not sure how they have 4.5 stars on here. After we arrived the staff completely ignored us for around 15 minutes. Not because they were busy with customers but because they were busy chatting with each other. We eventually got some service and ordered a pasta dish and a main each. The pasta dishes took another 30 minutes to arrive except that only 2 of 3 arrived. The other came another 10 minutes later. The sauces were super heavy and rich and there was far too much of them and completely inauthentic. We then started to wait for the main courses. And waited. And waited. After another 30 minutes we still hadn’t received a main course. I went to ask where they were and they said 2-3 minutes. We had to go in a while so I said they must bring them in that time. They didn’t. So I went in and asked to pay for what we had already received (but not the mains which we hadn’t). Considering the general quality and service they were lucky I was prepared to pay for anything. But instead they refused to agree to that and threatened to call the police if I didn’t also pay for the food they hadn’t provided! And some massively tattooed guy who was in charge started getting heavy with me. In the end after another 5 minutes of argument they agreed not to charge for the mains that they hadn’t brought (they still hadn’t produced them). Quite shockingly bad service and behaviour. And the food we did get wasn’t worth it.
