  1. A

    Ristorante Masseria

    Masseria’s supremely sweet tortelli di zucca is among the best in town; other house specialities include Mantuan beef stew with Lambrusco and polenta, and platters piled with local cheeses and dollops of mustard. Choose to eat in the cobbled square, or in a 13th-century dining room overlooked by a 15th-century fresco – the oldest depiction of the city in existence.

    Fragoletta Antica

    Set just back from the waterfront, this rustic place serves risotto alla pilota, and gnocchi with ricotta, burnt butter and parmigiano reggiano. The dining room is warm and cosy, filled with heavy wood and lined with bottles of wine.

    Grifone Bianco

    For gastronomic cuisine par excellence, Grifone’s damask tablecloths and heavy silverware – not to mention the plates of local salami and pike with salsa and polenta – make it stand out.
