Al Ridotto

A small but elegant place, located on a central street, next to the Teatro Sociale. The owner is also the restaurant's chef and prepares divine traditional French dishes. The crepes and galettes, filled with generous amounts of quality ingredients, are a must-try. October 22, 2025: I returned for Breton Week and tried the Apple Cider Crepe with Caramelized Onions, Apples, and Camembert—truly delicious! The so-called "Giulia's Meatballs," the Onion Soup, the Croque Madame, and the Croque Monsieur are also very good. There are also specials off the menu, listed on a chalkboard.

Really good restaurant with their own menu. Really of the beaten path menu, though really good

A pleasant French cuisine experience I recently visited this French restaurant and was truly impressed. The service was excellent; the waitress was kind and attentive. She even recommended dishes I wouldn't have tried, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Definitely worth a try.

Truly excellent food, and you can tell it's prepared with so much care and love. Even the bread that accompanies the dishes is wonderful, a kind of focaccia that's still warm. The desserts are out of this world. The atmosphere is truly charming. Honestly, this is my new favorite restaurant in Mantua. My only regret is not having discovered it sooner. Thanks to the owners for their kindness and friendliness!

Fantastic place full of charme. Top cheese and French wine. For an awesome night in mantova!
