Hostaria Viola

"Having run this simple yet welcoming restaurant for over 100 years, it’s no surprise that the family at the helm here are true connoisseurs of Mantuan culinary traditions! The menu pays tribute to the delicious cuisine of Mantova featuring a host of celebrated and lesser-known specialities, includingsorbir(filled pasta in broth), excellent cured hams, pike seasoned with a Mantuan sauce (made from anchovies and capers) served with polenta or mashed potatoes and, to finish, the renownedsbrisolonacake or zabaglione ice cream. There are so many specialities, you won’t be disappointed!" - Michelin Inspector
