If you read this look nu further, you found it. It’s the best restaurant in Brescia and I will fight everyone who disagrees (jokingggg)
Just had a birthday dinner here with my family. We shared the Black Pig Charcuterie Board - and Lord have mercy, it was the most heavenly bread, whipped butter and salami I’ve ever had.
I got the Lasagna and now have to find a way to live with the fact that I can’t have this every day. Maybe I should just move here?
Also got the most tender and lovely Veal chin to top it off.
The only bad thing was that we were too full to try their desserts.
The service was fantastic, and both our waiters spoke good English 👌🏽Also the place has AC which we very much appreciated!
With the shared appetizer a primi and a secondi, we payed around 80€ each (drinks excluded). Totally worth it!
Ps. If you are a Negroni-lover you have to try it here! It has a nice spicy kick to it and there’s enough to keep you company throughout the entire dinner!
Grazie Miele Medea! 💕
Nicholai, thank you - this one had the whole team smiling. The black pig board is our love letter to bread, whipped butter and salami, so hearing it landed like that is the best news we could get, and the lasagna and the veal cheek are two dishes we refuse to compromise on. Happy birthday to whoever was celebrating: we’re glad Medea was part of it. The dessert, though, are unfinished business- come back hungry and we’ll start from the sweet end. The negroni will be waiting.

Visiting Brescia for a few days and booked Medea given all the positive reviews. It lived up to its ratings, our expectations and more. Quality of food and innovative menu were absolute stand outs. Wonderful atmosphere from both the fit out and the beautiful staff. Couldn’t fault a thing. We had an amazing evening here. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Gordon - what a pleasure to read. Hearing that Medea lived up to the reviews and then went beyond them, and that our innovative menu and the atmosphere stood out, means a great deal to us. If Brescia brings you back, we’d love to build another evening you. Until then, our warmest thanks. Alberto Sandrini chef di Medea

Good food and chef that cooks with great passion. We had the surprise menu and everything tasted perfect. It’s a bit more expensive but really worth the value. Highly recommend going to this place
Thank you, Rob. The surprise menu is where we take the most risks, so hearing that everything tasted perfect is the best feedback we could ask for. And thank you for the note of value - we work hard to make sure the price reflects what’s on the plate. We’d be glad to surprise you again next time. Alberto Sandrini chef di Medea

Thank you, Przemyslaw - “simply amazing “ is short, but coming from a Local Guide who has shared as many photos as you have, it carries weight. A full score across food, service and room tells us the evening worked from start to finish. Next time you’re in Brescia, we’d be glad to have you back. The Medea Team

The best restaurant we visited in Brescia. Great service, delicious food, the best evening in a long time.
Thank you, Agnieszka - “the best evening in a long time “ is a line we won’t forget. Begin your favorite stop in Brescia, with the service and the food both landing, tells us we did our job. Whenever you’re back in town, we’ll be right here. The Medea team

We visited here in June 2025. The atmosphere was lovely! Staff were extremely caring and welcoming and it was so nice to be able to talk to the chef. The fusion of foods was incredible with such unique and beautiful flavours. The FRESHNESS is something to shout about, everything was perfect, perfect way to end our holiday. Thankyou so much all.
