03/08/2025: By chance we found ourselves in this restaurant one evening, a welcoming family atmosphere, quality food, I recommend it
17/07/2025: I was torn between reviewing this "gem" of a restaurant or, as in all special situations, being selfish and keeping this restaurant's knowledge to myself and my friends. Then a birthday came up, and we decided to go to I Conti because, given the affection I have for the birthday boy, I wanted everything to be memorable. The first thing to say is that the owners, Mrs. Rosanna and her husband Fabrizio, are capable, while always maintaining a professional approach, of making you feel like a welcome guest, the kind of person who, when he comes to our home, we would do anything to make him happy...that's how they are...and we know that "pampering" and fantastic food are always a highly appreciated and sought-after combination. Since this review comes after many lunches and dinners spent there, I want to make it good, honest, and structured.
Let's start with the menu: always the freshest, seasonal, and top-quality dishes, and consequently (and rightly so) the dishes, refined in their apparent simplicity, follow the changing seasons...
and our artists, Rosanna and Fabrizio, present us with this rich menu. Among the appetizers, seafood, raw fish (prime oysters), all lightly seasoned with extra virgin olive oil to allow the palate to distinctly experience every aroma the sea offers, tender cod masterfully fried and topped with slices of fresh truffle (and much more). The first courses are truly mind-blowing (strictly homemade pasta) and prepared with the flair of culinary genius... and this leaves you struggling to choose the dish you want to reward yourself with, perhaps after a day's work!... Then, with Rosanna's advice, everything becomes clear, and the choice you make will be the perfect one for that dinner. Among the main courses, I'd like to mention two must-haves: the Catalan-style lobster (a dream!) or, for those who prefer meat, the fantastic pork shank.
Now I'll move on to two aspects that make the difference in a restaurant: desserts and the wine cellar.
Rosanna, the queen of desserts, all conceived, crafted, and decorated by her, to which she dedicates entire afternoons to ensuring her customers always find the freshest and most innovative treats.
Now I turn to Fabrizio and thank him for the care, knowledge (he's a sommelier), and professionalism with which he recommends a wine... in so many lunches and dinners, he has always interpreted exactly what I wanted at that moment. He takes great care to keep his wine cellar always capable of satisfying even the most refined palates, and each time he tries new wineries (always top-notch) to reward even the young winemakers... not to mention the spirits, bitters... and if by chance you ask for a grappa or cognac, which he doesn't have, if he can, the next time he'll have it for you.
I'll close by apologizing for being long-winded, but I want to say one last thing:
perhaps the best feeling when you leave I Conti is the serenity you feel in this place!
And last but not least: the honest quality-price ratio.
Thanks to Rosanna and Fabrizio.
See you soon.
