Eat

To eat, Pavia offers a vast repertoire of traditional taverns and inns, more refined restaurants and a varied ethnic proposal.

Not to be missed, certainly, is the encounter with the rich food and wine heritage of an area dedicated above all to agriculture: from breakfast to after dinner, cold cuts, cheeses, great wines and recipes range from hill proposals to river flavors, passing through the classics of the Po Valley.

For the five hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Pavia, some bars, shops and restaurants offer menus dedicated to visitors to our city.
