Runate, Canneto sull'Oglio (Mantua), Lombardy
Via Runate 15, 46013 Canneto sull'Oglio (MN), Italy
Dal Pescatore Santini is one of Italy's great family restaurants, set in the quiet countryside of the Oglio Sud regional park between Mantua and Cremona. The Santini family's story began as a rural inn and evolved into a destination known for extraordinary hospitality and a cuisine that gives classical Mantuan flavours the precision of haute cuisine. Nadia and Giovanni Santini are closely associated with the kitchen, while dishes such as tortelli di zucca express the restaurant's philosophy perfectly: apparently simple, deeply rooted in place and refined through decades of experience. The atmosphere remains that of an elegant country home rather than a metropolitan luxury restaurant.
Dal Pescatore is located in the small hamlet of Runate, at Via Runate 15. The nearest railway station is Canneto sull'Oglio, roughly 3 kilometres away; because the restaurant is rural, arranging a taxi or private transfer in advance is strongly recommended. Verona Airport is approximately 65 kilometres away and is the most practical international gateway, while Milan Linate is farther, at roughly 115 kilometres. For visitors driving from Mantua, Brescia or Parma, the route heads toward the Piadena/Canneto sull'Oglio area before continuing into Runate.
