Osteria della Fragoletta Mantova

We just had an incredible meal at this local restaurant. The price-to-quality ratio was outstanding — generous portions, everything cooked to perfection, and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. On top of that, the waiter and waitress were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. If you’re visiting Mantua, this place is an absolute must-visit!

The food is mediocre, not the best nor the worst. However we feel it’s a bit overpriced for what you get. This artichoke salad is about 14ish euro.

We were enjoying our day trip in Mantua but when hunger knocks on the door, you have to answer. We made a point to eat earlier in the day as most restaurants are closed after 2PM and probably reopens at dusk. Whatever you love about real Italian food, you will find something delicious here, a menu that consist a celebration of flavours and ingredients. We especially enjoyed Salame Mantovano with warm bread, Spinach salad with melon, shrimp with lime oil and sesame seeds. Primi: Pumpkin tortelli with melted butter and sage, a Traditional Mantuan dish with a little sweetness. We skipped Secondi to save room for one of their dreamy desserts. Indeed, one of the best Osteria if you are looking for truly authentic Mantuan cuisine. Friendly service and a charming, soothing ambience. The location away from the main square area has not affected its popularity among locals and tourists, come early or make a reservation.

I visited in October having heard great things about the tortelli di zucca. They did not disappoint, and neither did the other gorgeous hearty regional dishes I tried during my long lazy lunch. It’s a simple interior with supremely friendly service; as a solo traveller I value this highly, and the staff were really lovely. So much so that when I return to see a concert al Teatro Bibiena soon, I can’t wait to visit again.

Definitely a place to go when in Mantua! It was recommended by a colleague and we went to have some lunch, DELICIOUS!!! A completely must! Service was like being at home, it can't get any better than that!

Everything was perfect in this historic place. First of all, we had no reservation and they took us in at 12. For the whole time being there we did not feel anything but being very welcomed. The food was amazing and its quality justifies the price. If we turn back we will make a reservation, grazie!

Overall a very good home cooking :). Very basic Italian restaurant decor, home cooking done well. Good service !
