G.a.Porteri — Restaurant in Brescia

My husband and I had our wedding anniversary dinner in this lovely restaurant and it was such a pleasant and unforgettable dining experience. The ambience (which we were dining in a 12th Century cellar), the service, the food quality, all were impeccable! I had tortino di porri e patate for antipasto and guancia di vitello for secondo. Both were extraordinary, the guancia di vitello was cooked to perfection - melted in the mouth, mamma mia! Also I had a semifreddo for dessert, that was divine... The meal was moderately priced considering we also had wine. It was raining when we left the restaurant, since we left our car in the hotel so we had to call a taxi to go back, we called for 20 minutes, no taxi! Then the owner of the restaurant came out and invited us to wait in his salumeria, and got us a taxi. He even offered us a pack of biscuits from his shop before we get on our ride. Thank you so much! Highly recommend...

Literally every single aspect of this restaurant is mind blowing: To start off, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, it travels you back in time where everything was more pure. The staff is very attentive, helpful, can speak English as well and we asked for a wine recommendation to accomodate our food courses: it fit extremely well with the food. And what to say about the food, they start off with freshly baked bread, and from there on whatever we ordered was tender, delicious and salivating. This is not just a casual food experience, this is something to remember for a long time. Sufficient portions if you order the full course. If you come to Brescia, this should be your number 1 priority regarding food....

Porteri’s deep roots give this menu a great selection of classics to pick from. Everything is excellent quality, from the fresh Culatello di Zibello, and my favorite the one of a kind Malfatti al Bagoss. Now the egg cooked at 64°, another amazing creation and something I’m very glad they suggested. The rabbit salad style was a delicious and different take, and the Manzo all’Oillo is great value and great flavor. The Horse Tartare was something I’ve never seen offered yet so I had to try it, and like all tartare, it was really good. Service was very friendly and the inside...
