La Taverna Del Tasso - SUZZARA

In the work area for lunch break, I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance several years ago and even though I was already very satisfied at the time, I had not returned because it was a bit out of the way. I was very wrong! I eat in trattorias and restaurants practically every day, but I have to say that this place is literally on a higher level. Highly recommended.

La cucina è davvero deliziosa, curata e genuina, con pasta fatta in casa. Il servizio è molto gentile in questo ristorante a conduzione familiare. Si trova tra Verona e Modena, a pochi chilometri dall'autostrada. È anche economico.

We were driving to Parma through the countryside at lunch time and saw a sign to this restaurant that was located about a kilometre off the main road. We drove up and noticed another couple of cars there so went in. Interior was quite nice. Menu, hand written, was surprisingly big. We opted for the daily fixed price menu at Euro13 per person. There was a choice for both the primi and secondi. We had the Mantovian risotto (risotto with sausage) and the prosciutto with melon (there was a stack of prosciutto). Both dishes were very tasty and the risotto was obviously freshly cooked. This is not, I believe, a restaurant that you would travel to get to, but if passing by and hungry, worth a stop. Well done to the family.
