About Mantua
Mantua rewards travellers who plan their days around the table: pumpkin-filled tortelli, mostarda, and wines poured in Renaissance-era piazzas. A good starting point is the Mantua with Gusto: Authentic Local Wines and Flavors, a short tasting that introduces the city's signature flavours, while the Mantua: Lakeside Lunch Cruise & Historic Center Guided Tour pairs a guided walk through the historic centre with a meal on the water. For something more hands-on, local cooks open their kitchens for market tours and pasta-making sessions that end with everyone eating together.

Frequently asked questions
Mantua's cuisine is Lombard and Emilian at once, shaped by the Gonzaga court and the wetlands around its three lakes. Expect pumpkin tortelli, mostarda, risotto and freshwater fish, plus Lambrusco and local white wines. Many experiences take place in private homes or small osterie, so you eat and drink with locals rather than in a restaurant.
