If you want a traditional Italian dish in the scenic area of Poviglio, Tavernetta del Lupo is your…read morespot. Formerly a train depot, this converted mansion into restaurant is a hidden gem in the area. They really specialize in traditional Italian fare and do an awesome job at doing so. I would try and describe what I had but I can't really read Italian so I just copied the menu in a picture for your reference. I must say everything is delicious and would love to go back upon my return

This place was recommended by the Hotel Poli. They said it was some of the best pizza in the area…read more The hotel had called ahead to ensure they were open and transported us in the hotel van to the restaurant a little after noon on a Sunday. It was busy but our group of five were seated right away. We perused the menu and ordered a bottle of the local sparkling red wine. Lucky for us there was a server that spoke English because none of us speak Italian. We were using Google translate to help us read the menu but for the most part you can get a pretty good idea without translation. Four of us decided to get pizza and one chose a calzone. I am not much of a wine drinker but the sparkling red was pretty tasty. The waiter said it is made about 2km from the restaurant. Our meals were delivered rather quickly and looked delicious and large. The pizza dough is really thin and lightly sauced. I am guessing they have a really hot oven to cook the toppings so fast and not burn the thin crust. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. We were amazed how reasonable the prices were. I think the most expensive pizza was 7.50 euro. We are not sure if we will have the chance but we all felt we would like to come back. The restaurant even called the hotel when we were finished so they could come pick us up. We would all recommend stopping here if you are in the area.

Even though this is an Seafood restaurant, they still have chicken and steak to pick from, which I went with the chicken potatoes in ravioli option. it turned out to be pretty good even though my next time I'm going to get seafood for sure because I've seen some plates come out to other people and they looked incredible. The interior of the restaurant can give you a little fancy feel but you'll still be comfortable and it looks really nice. They have an outdoor part also if you want the fresh air.

A group of five of us came here about 8pm. The place is not very big, they have about 12 tables…read moreinside and about four were occupied. We were seated right away and given menus. As usual we struggled a bit to read the menus and place orders. Luckily, beer is pretty universal and we were able to get drinks pretty easily. They have beer on tap and in the bottle. When the drinks arrived we placed our orders. We ordered appetizers of Prosciutto de parma with mozzarella and a wide variety of entrees. The tortelli was delivered first and it felt like a long time before the next entree arrived. After the next entree arrived it also felt like a long time before the next entrees arrived. The last three arrived at the same time. Most of what was ordered looked really good and tasted really good. the pizza with the fries on it just seemed strange. We were surprised how long it took considering how few people were in the restaurant. It did appear they had a lot of to-go orders, especially pizza. We would try this place again but we would be more weary of what we ordered, it felt hit or miss.

Agnolotti as a flavor bomb in tiny pockets. The mixed herb salad fresh from the garden surprised (even more impressive is we saw them pick all of them while we enjoyed drinks on the patio, also spent time with them learning about each herb and tasting them fresh). You must do the Culatello (18, 24, 36 month) and Parmigiano tasting (red cow, white cow) to truly understand flavor changes with time, grazing conditions, etc.
