This oysters is right next to the Rotunda San Lorenzo, an Unesco heritage site in the Piazza del Erbe. Ater visiting that on the heel of the massive Palazzo Ducale, we we tired and needed to be perked up for the afternoon. We were not disappointed. The two of us had Bigoli pasta con pomodoro,a local pasta sort of like... More

We stopped in for dinner on Valentines day. We were greeted by the owner (or so she said) of the restaurant and seated in a nice little side table. About 15 minutes later we were finally given menus. About 5 minutes later the waiter came and greeted us and we asked him for suggestions. We made come great recommendations and... More

This restaurant was recommended to us by a mantovan friend, so we had no doubts that it will be excellent and it was. We really enjoyed the Mantovan dishes and with it the fizzy red wine. The food was very good and the service personnel were very attentive; when our little girl dropped her fork, there was a clean one... More

A visit to this establishment almost ruined our 10 days in beautiful Italy. I felt so annoyed by the extortionate cover charge of 3.50 euros per person for what was frankly a very ordinary "snack". Prior to the food we had been served drinks that were barely cold and unpleasant. We both ordered green apple juice. A very small unopened... More

good food, acceptable prices. loved the pumpkin tortelloni. so good we went back the next day for lunch and I tried the roast beef carpaccio with burratta. Great italian food made correctly. Not a tourist trap at all, more like a hidden treasure box!

One of the open air restaurants on the square in Erbe in Mantova. We had lunch. Friendly welcome and reasonably quick service though we never got one of the dishes we had ordered! We only had a cold pump local beer, a pizza (nice and freshly cooked) and an indifferent cappuccino and the bill was over E48. Ouch!. The waiter... More

We were there at the beginning of September so it wasn't busy, but the food, service and wine were excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and would go back.

We had a long lunch at the Ca' della Erbe sitting at the street tables. The food was excellent regional food and the service was of the highest standard for this type of restaurant. Prices of food and wine were value for money. Try the Tortelli Zucca Burro also the Misto Formaggi with some of the restaurant's mustard jelly.
