Alla Buca della Gabbia Enoteca Tipica Mantovana

Delicious food in this small charming local enoteca. The 'small' starter of salami and cheese was more than enough for two. Followed by delicious pumpkin lasagne and beef ravioli. The house recommended wines by the glass were the best we have had in this trip. A truly great place for dinner.

We went there on a Saturday for lunch. We were 3 and ordered 3 different types of fresh pasta. 5 mins after ordering all 3 plates were there. Wow, 5 min only ? There was some water in the plate, not good. Pasta were crunchy on the outside, weird texture. We are pretty sure that they microwaved the plates (especially since we heard a microwave right after we ordered, coincidence ?). What a shame in Italy. Would not recommend at all. 2 stars only because the Lambrusco was very good.

Very disappointing. We took pasta and we expected a cooked dish, not a microwaved one… such a shame for an Italian place to microwave pasta! The taste was ok but the texture was definitely not the right one. I wouldn’t go there if I were you!

Most attentive staff, great food and excellent wines :)

Excellent place, small and cozy. Staff is extra nice, food is great and so is wine.
