This lovely traditional restaurant is centrally located, quite dark before youâre surprised by a very, spacious lovely, siena colored dining room with high ceilings and some frescoes still peaking through. Tables covered in white table cloths. The young waiter who served us was extremely competent and professional, skillful, helpful but not invasive. A rarity today.The food was outstanding. No hip and trendy, just wonderfully prepared with care, delicious, balanced. Clearly a chef who has experience and a fine sense of esthetics. We ate several first and second courses before desert: tagliatelle con seppioline, fave piselli â cuttlefish cut to resemble tagliatelle, beautifully tender and fresh served with vibrantly green fave and peas; a saddle of rabbit encased in bacon, pheasant with a small amount of foie gras and marasca cherries- all perfectly cooked. To illustrate the chefâs take on traditional dishes â we ate ravioli stuffed with four different cheeses, a slight acidity probably due to hint of lemon, perfectly seasoned, light and so much more interesting than the ordinary ricotta filling. I also ate a a pasta analogous to bavette or pappardelle with a sauce of zucchini flowers, and two succulent, perfectly cooked mazzancolle shrimp. Every dish was impeccable. Desserts also very creative â we tried the outstanding white chocolate covered sphere filled with passion fruit ice cream, a lemon tart, and a simple fresh fruit plate accompanied by raspberry sorbet with a surprising caramelized orange rind. I had wine by the glass â a white Tocai which was lovely, not pricey, and well suited to the dishes I ordered. I highly recommend this restaurant for its creative variation on classic Italian food. An outstanding chef, who deserves a reputation due to his food and approach: no gimmicks or trendy displays, no âphilisophyâ and mission statements which have become, alas, typical of the less competent and marketing-âhollywoodâ driven younger chefs whose egos are all too often bigger than their talent or creativity. The restaurant is slightly expensive but it worth every penny.

We were made to feel so welcome here by the friendly staff. They speak good English and nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant is tucked away behind the domed Basilica San Andrea, but just a few minutes on foot. The food was truly delicious and all the staff were helpful and enthusiastic, yet quiet and unobtrusive. When we booked for a second dinner here the chef prepared extra gluten free delicacies specially for my wife. We loved the range of different foods showcasing the specialities of Mantova and of Sicily. Highly recommended!

For sure the quality is above the line with the fresh fish that melts in your mouth.Also the location is quite good-looking and warm for a romantic dinner but I think that the price is too high for the sushi.I ate in other restaurant and I spend less for the same quality and I am not referring to "all you can eat" restaurants.Receipt: Big bowl sushi sashimi (picture n.1) + 2 uramaki (16 rolls; picture n.2) + water = 68 euros.We left of the restaurant still hungry!I do not recommend this restaurant if you want to treat yourself with sushi unless you had a huge meal before!

Very pleasant surprise during our stay in Mantua. Friends of us booked for a dinner within this romantic and high-quality restaurant. It's in the suburbs of the city, really close to the center but you must go there by car or cab.Food is very refined and delicious, prepared with really fresh raw materials: anchovies, baby squids and "mazzancolle" shrimps were our main ingredients.Here you can feel the typical preparation and service of south of Italy, even if you're deep in the north.

Cute locanda on the main road, with plenty of parking spaces around it. The main room is very beautiful, the entrance so so. The pizza was fantastic. We had volo, Norma, and vegetariana. All 'tirate' ( made thinner and crispier, +2 euros). The service is very slow and the staff so so... The lady who welcomed us made a horribly offensive joke when we walked in (one of us was a frequent customer so she played around that, I guess, but the other people just were shocked...). Anyway, dessert was great and good choice of beer. 54 euros for 3 people, surely worth it.

I visit Mantova very often to spend time with my family,but only recently I've discovered la colonna. Unfortunately!!! I was in Mantova for 2 weeks and I came here 3 times. The pizza is amazing. I just love it. Thin, fluffy crust, crunchy, and loaded. I had pizza with octopus and sardines and it was amazing. I had risotto with shellfish and it was perfect to me: risotto is not easy to cook, so well done. Fish tasty and fresh. The only problem is that the portions are MASSIVE so I couldn't finish it. What a waste. My husband had 'la mangio tutta' once, a pizza for 2/3 people but he had it himself. Stuffed crust to die for and lashes of cheese. Desserts are lovely, mostly made by a couple of very famous pasticcerie in Mantova. Highly recommend the lemon one!!! The last time I was there for lunch with the whole family. Lunch is very busy, I guess because the prices are unbelievable considering what you get. Luckily we booked a table. There's a massive buffet with an amazing choice of food. Oh, the melanzane alla parmigiana... Just like grandma used to make!!! I had quite a lot of it... And the potato gratin and the veggie lasagne. I want to marry the chef! We had different things... I had a pizza (to be honest I was given the wrong one, but I ate it anyway... Lovely), my little daughter had a baby pizza (still pretty big, but you can take the leftovers home), my husband gnocchi with cheese, my dad spaghetti allo scoglio, my mum fritto misto. Every menu of choice includes the buffet, drinks (water and wine) and coffee, ranging from 10 to 14 euros. We paid 54 euros in 5. Everything was tasty and copious, only my mum had problems with the fish: she said it wasn't properly cooked and she felt unwell all day. I didn't try the fish so I cannot prove her right or wrong. I think she should have sent it back immediately instead of eating it all. I can only suggest to tell the staff immediately if there are any problems, because they are all very friendly and helpful.The place gets packed quickly and can get noisy. Big car park. I'll surely be back.Thank you

We stopped here because we are staying in Virgilio for the weekend.Peaceful place ( friday night), neat and clean, very gentle and fast service.We ordered a lukewarm octopus salad with potatoes, simply delicious, and 2 pizzas: mine with porcini mushrooms and apples...a great ingredients match! IN ADDITION TO THIS WE DID NOT FEEL "FULL" AS USUAL ( WHEN EATING PIZZA).The service was fast and gentle.The menu is very interesting and varied.If you can stop here for a nice gastronomy experience!The only point I could not rate positive is the lack of parking but not being local, maybe we don't know there is one nearby.Grazie

Locale particolare e stravagante, collocato in zona defilata nella campagna mantovana ( utilizzare il navigatore), poiché sia lâinterno e sia lâesterno è gremito di oggetti. Nel parcheggio sono posizionate vecchie motociclette e biciclette, nella veranda sono accatastati gli oggetti più disparati tanto da ipotizzare che si tratti di una bottega di un rigattiere. Interno è costituito da più ambienti arredato in modo semplice ed essenziale in stile rustico con la presenza di numerosi cimeli dalla macchina da cucire sino alla mazza australiana. Propone pizza e un menù di carne e di pesce.Noi abbiamo consumato insalata di polipo con patate servita su un letto dâinsalata (12 euro polipo morbido e gustoso), insalata di seppie e gamberetti (12 euro deliziosa), tagliere misto di salumi accompagnato da giardiniera ( 8 euro affettati nella media ), stria ( pasta da pizza con olio e aglio 4 euro appetitosa), scialatielli casa Silvana (13 euro strepitosi), risotto alla marinara (12 euro succulento), maccheroncini alla Nando (8 euro condimento con porcini speck saporito). Per concludere salame di cioccolata (4 euro con retro gusto di caffè delizioso ), cheesecake alla cannella e zucca (4 euro abbinamento inusuale ma molto gradevole ) e sorbetto al limone con frutti di bosco (4 euro fresco e invitante). Piacevole il vino della casa sia bianco e sia rosè cosi come il limoncello e il liquore alla liquirizia offerti. I piatti sono ben cucinati con prodotti di qualità , porzioni abbondanti con molto condimento. Personale gentile, servizio un po' improvvisato e frettoloso (decisamente da migliorare). Atmosfera famigliare ed informale. Prezzi onesti.
