ristorazione — Gazoldo degli Ippoliti · Lombardia
On the Mantuan plain, just a few kilometres from Mantua, Gazoldo degli Ippoliti holds within its centuries-old walls a restaurant recognised in 2024 among the best in Italy: a place where tradition and contemporary style sit at the same table.
Cross the threshold and you enter a family-run establishment where welcome is a deliberate choice, not a detail. Roberta and her young, well-trained staff guide the dining room every evening with discretion and warmth — a room that in 2024 Saporiamoitalia named among the best restaurants in Italy.
The elegant dining room is the stage for a deeply Mantuan cuisine: tortelli di zucca (pumpkin-filled pasta) made to the traditional recipe, risotto alla mantovana, and pike in the Rivalta-style sauce. Dishes that speak of a territory with the precision of those who know their raw ingredients and respect the pace of tradition.
Two souls coexist at the stove: the Po Valley one, with hand-worked dough baked in a wood-fired oven — including a light, easily digestible 9-grain loaf — and the Sicilian one that Ilaria inherited from her mother, expressed in scialatielli pasta with fisherman's ragù, sea bass cooked in a parcel, and spaghetti allo scoglio with seafood.
A complete portrait of Tre Garibaldini — seasonal menu, opening hours and booking details — is available on its dedicated page, where the story continues.
