La Villa Rosti-Bar In Monteodorisio

30/10/2023: Friendly and helpful owner. Excellent food. I have been with friends who were all satisfied.

19/08/2023: We stayed in this place in mid-August, at Gabriella's, on the recommendation of some friends in the area. What to say! Seen from the outside, the place... you wouldn't give it two cents, (even though, I've always known that the best places are... the ones that look... terrible from the outside. From experience.) But as soon as I went down to the dining room (simple but beautiful, simply furnished and air conditioned!) we were welcomed by Gabriella. Splendid person and chef from times gone by, deeply in love with her work, and with extraordinary attention towards the customer. We had booked the day before, explaining my partner's gluten and lactose intolerance problems. Well. Not only did she make him find gluten-free pasta as well as bread... taken especially for her, but she made us have a sublime lunch. Portions to "try to believe" Simple, home-made cuisine, but exceptional in terms of the authenticity of the ingredients and expertise at the stove. A series of fabulous little starters two first courses, one each but in "moving" quantities in beautiful terracotta terrines but with three/four portions each... crazy. the second course of mixed roast meat with side dishes.. fruit, dessert, wine.. coffee etc.. €35 per person on August 15th, for a memorable lunch, with an immensely higher value. And then his smiles, his stories, passing between the tables to greet his fellow diners and asking "how's it going, and to our amazement at the goodness and quality of the lunch, answering us with naturalness and a smile: we come here to eat! " What else to add?! Beautiful culinary experience, one of a kind. And I'm a chef.. whatever, not much, I understand.. :)) Thanks Gabriella!!!! :))
