Execellent. The food is traditional ( city- specific, not just Italian specific), well cooked and even better served. The Pumpkin Tortelli (traditional dumplings) are amazing and Italians from all over the country know about this dish. Clean, quiet, good wine selection. Highly Recommended.

I visited this restaurant two days ago. Simply amazing. If you are an American tourist and would like to try authentic Mantovan food, this place is it!!!! They had English menu for people like me. Don't get me wrong. This is an authentic Italian food restaurant, but they just cater to English speakers. Reserve before you go.
