Il Gelso Nero - CASTELLUCCHIO

. The experience itself was a journey that lies between the discovery of new flavors and memories of those far away. We start from the elegant atmosphere, dominated by colored paintings and a relaxing music that reminds you of an art gallery. Well spaced tables and very elegant put en place that, together with the room staff that makes every special guest feel, make you immediately understand the care to the details that must be behind each service. Going to the dishes, there are no words to describe the goodness and freshness of each preparation. The search for fine and quality raw materials, very elegant food and the explanation of each dish by the chef are a bean I never had the honour to try in my life before this time. As I said, experience in itself is a journey from within to sweet, able to arouse emotions that will remain in your heart all your life. Finally, I would like to say that all this can be done at absolutely affordable prices. The price paid, for what we ate, is more than fair and honest and is worth the experience tried, from beginning to end

Beautiful place, all treated in detail. We were greeted by a super professional and very kind staff who made us feel at home while the chef, very nice, has pampered us with perfect dishes in which to spend all his passion and the study behind. In my opinion it would deserve more than 5 stars, we will definitely return

I agree with well-deserved reviews and I add hope to add reasons to know this excellence...Passion, capacity management, gastronomic, experiential, communicative... Honor to merit. Quality and choice of raw materials, originality’creative with measure that in the refinement of combinations does not exaggerate and maintains balance and respect of flavors. All well prepared, presented and served. Winning team, managerial success of a 360 degree professional who maintains healthy and traditional values: the perfect family the children who serve so worthy father) , the encouragement to the chosen place to express themselves but that spawns free in the poor and extended Mediterranean, and consequently success recognized by all the commensali...subito palpabile and shared. Never ate a gluten-free bread/focaccia so good are celiac and medical nutritionist). What else? Seven stars...

20 minutes out of Mantova, lies a sleepy village of Castelucchio, and hidden off the main street an unexpected find… an elegant entry and table settings, gentle music, and a talented chef with a delightful smile! Confident in his cuisine, but not arrogant in nature, Faruk kept us tantalised as we selected dishes, beautifully composed and gently flavoured. Paired with a fruity sparkling rose, and a white Pinot noir, our journey thru a culinary adventure was surprising and delectable! Sometimes you just luck out and stumble upon a hidden gem! This is one! Well done Faruk!

Best experience and the chef was kind, felt like home. Recommend to visitors if u want to eat quality Sea foods! 5 starts! Will visit again with my family for sure
