Tiratappi

Reviewed By B L

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!

In Mantua something different LaCucina translates into a modern dimension the old concept of "dining" welcoming the guest in a relaxed and family environment. The menu offers both traditional and contemporary cuisine dishes maintaining the simplicity and

We would have loved to try the specialities of the restaurant. After an aperitivo we were heading towards la cucina for dinner. All looked very promising with a nice menue and food on the tables outdoors looking & smelling deliciously. We asked the waiter if she had a table for us. We were ‚redirected‘ to a colleague who rejected us in a way we experienced as very rude. We never had a similar experience in Italy. Still wondering what we did wrong. Be aware of that if you consider to chose this restaurant.

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.

Al Torchio BIGOLERIA

"Al Torchio" Bigoleria is inspired at the ancient Italian taverns, where you could find tipical homemade pasta with traditional flavors and of course good wine. You'll find selected cheeses, cocktails and beers. Do not forget the sweets! WELCOME!!

Interesting... a place that specialises in Bigoli: a type of thicker spaghetti from the Vicenza area in Veneto but also eaten in eastern Lombardy. We came to visit Mantova and were looking for a place to eat something regional... and then this place caught my eye. Right from the initial phone call to book a table the people were very friendly. This place serves antipasti of salumi or cheese and Bigoli. You choose your sauce. They also have dessert, but that is it. We had a board of salumi (salame, pancetta and speck) that was delicious. Very good quality ingredients followed by the bigoli. The Carciofi and Pancetta Peppata sauce (artichokes and peppery bacon) was delicious as was the Radicchio and Monte Veronese (radicchio lettuce and a cheese from Verona) although this was bitter and a very adult taste which might not suit everybody. The service was quick and friendly: genuine smiles that warmed your heart. As a last tip: do check the toilet out. Beautifully done! ;-)An excellent place for an unrefined but very tasty meal. Hope to go back to Mantova for longer and who knows... a second visit!

A little off the beaten track but worth the walk: this restaurant serves excellent regional cuisine accompanied by Italian wines (although there are others on the extensive wine list). The maitre is friendly, the sommelier knowledable and all the other members of the staff display a high level of professionality. Our meal in the pleasant garden was relaxed -- the descrete waiter read our minds about a little pause before dessert -- and the perfect antidote to a dusty day of seeing the sights.

This was our favourite meal experience in Mantua and one of the best meals I've ever eaten in Italy. It's about twenty minutes' walk from the city centre and the place seemed to be full of locals and regular diners.  We loved everything about this place: the gentleman who looked after our table (who I believe was Carlo, the owner), was so warm and friendly and had such pride in the restaurant and the food they were serving. We were seated outside on the garden patio and enjoyed the most exquisite food, absolutely made with love. I ordered the steamed pumpkin flowers stuffed with ricotta as an antipasto and it was divine. I savoured every mouthful very slowly. The presentation was also fabulous - one of the nicest dishes I ate over the entire trip. My husband had the 'spaghetti alla chitarra' with crispy culatello for his starter which was also excellent. For my main I went for ravioli filled with aubergine and a soft Italian goat's cheese with cherry tomatoes and basil. My husband opted for their pork dish, cooked at a low temperature and served with Dijon mustard and apples caponata. Both dishes were close to perfect. We couldn't fit in a dessert unfortunately but we had a nice bottle of Valpolicella from the Veneto.Everything about the place suggests a high-end restaurant - except the prices that is. My starter was €10 and our pasta dishes from €12 -€14.  They also offer the option of a half portion of pasta for about €8 - such a great idea as it allows you to try three courses without being completely stuffed to the gills. The surprise here was that the pork dish was also only €14. Excellent value overall. One of my favourite things about this place was the motto on their menu - "We do not charge cover - your presence here is a great pleasure for us". It certainly felt like that and we were treated like kings. One to revisit in the future for sure.
