Tiratappi — Restaurant in Mantua

After decades of eating all around Italy, the last four days of eating in Mantua have revealed to me the essential distinctions of Mantuan food with the tastes of other Italian provinces. By chance, a few steps off the main thoroughfare street of Via Broletto along Via Leon D'oro, we discovered our first fish restaurant, not many within the city centre. After eaten in the first restaurant, it is with the aid of Google Map we located this second seafood restaurant Tiratappi, a short distance further along the same Via Leon D'oro. It turn out, this place serves relatively better honest food and much friendlier and warmer service. I congratulated myself for this discovery of this restaurant. I got to experience the uniqueness of known warm and friendly Italian hospitality in small homely restaurant, the warmth of family support service, friendly, casual yet adequately satisfying albeit not commercially overly refined but with equitable pricing. Cooking is indeed innovatively unique and concorted with fresh and ingenuous ingredients. A...

TERRIBLE, SAD and BAD experience!!!!!!!!!!! First of all, they didn't let me sit inside. They sent me outside (it was cold and I am not smoker), even the place was kind of empty at 2:30 pm. They can charge you a good money for a bleh food (you can try better typical Mantova plates in differents restaurants in the city) and 3 euros for courvert even if you don't eat the dry bread. The rude and "grussolana" waitress answered me "I don't care" when I just questioned about it. When I ask to talk to the manager, she gave me a prejudice look and laughed and said that I didn't speak Italian. She didn't know I am an Italian. The cook/manager said the same: "I don't care, you should to pay to wash the towel you have used". I said: "I am so sorry, it's the first time in my life that I went to a restaurant that want to charge me the laundry". And they finish saying: " maybe is because you used to eat just in bars". I can't believe they choose to loose a client for just €3... TIRATAPPI: A big shame to Italian food and to...

Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Mantova. During our month stay in Mantova, my wife and I have eaten here a few times and are always delighted. The food is delicious, the service is top notch and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. We were usually greeted by the owner, Lily, and made to feel welcome and appreciated. We enjoyed many of the entrees but I particularly liked the bigoli fatti in casa con le sarde mediterranee and my wife raved about the tortelli di zucca fatti in casa al burro e salvia. I highly recommend dining at Ristorante Tiratappi when you are in Mantova. It is also a good idea to make...
