What a beautiful surprise! This place has served us the yummiest of meals while in Brescia, Italy…read more The service was great! They did have English menus for us and 2 of the waiters we met speak great English. The price was equivalent if not better than the prices in Los Angeles, Ca. This gives me a feeling like an Gelena's in Venice, Ca. That hipster vibe in Brescia! Yes! I recommend calling in or stopping by. It was busy but not packed on a Wednesday night. Weekends may be Vee busy.

Everyone we spoke to at our Hotel said this was the place to go!…read more When we went in it seemed....well a little rustic compared to the other restaurants we had been recommended to visit. However, it was wonderful! In the front there is a sort of meat/deli/coffee counter...and in the back several rooms. You will need a reservation or be okay with waiting a bit. Everyone was there and the tables are shared. I would call the food very delicious and of the local regional favorites. I had some spinach/cheese/bread dumplings that looked like giant gnocchi that were out of this world. The prices were unbelievably low and the quality of food and service high-check it out if you are in Brescia!

This place is amazing! We went here with our cousins and had a full three/four course meal. It was…read morethe best food we had in our whole trip in Italy. Go here!

Recommended by our hotelier, this was our best dinner in Italy. We made reservations (which is…read moreessential in most restaurants in this region), and shortly after we arrived, it was filled to capacity. We sat and watched while many people were turned away. Unlike many of the places we dined at, Trattoria Gasparo's guests were Italian. When the food arrived, we quickly learned why it was so popular with the local crowd. We started with an antipasto - a tagliere of local Italian hams. Many were flavorful and imprssive. We ordered the two of the dishes that Brescia is known for: Casoncelli alla Bresciana and Mericonde with Butter and Sage. Casoncelli is like tortellini, but with a thinner, finer pasta, and a deeply flavored filling. Mericonde is like a meatball, but made with spinach, bread, garlic, milk - and no meat. While this may not sound exotic, the flavor extraordinarily delicious. The service was amazing. The maître d' personally helped us with the menu and made sure that everything was perfect.
