"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
Delicious home-made pasta, great cold cuts from the area and nice natural wine. Better to take the white wine - the red was rather light.

A trattoria with character and history. Simple decor, interesting presentation, great wine selection. Prices are fair for the quality. The female chef-owner was simply outstanding -her gnocchi and dessert were amazing!

A classic regional Italian menu with a history dating back to 1909. No frills or fancy presentation, just delicious meals at decent prices. The staff is lovely and speak English. I'd recommend their home made digestivo to complete your dining experience in Hostaria Viola.
