Agriturismo Monte Maggiore In Formicola

14/03/2026: Very good pizzas especially the happy hippo

14/03/2026: Very nice place, well-decorated, clean, with a beautiful dining room, a lovely entrance, and even a lovely garden. It has parking and is very close to the Caserta 9 exit towards Maddaloni... so it's easy to get there. The staff was very friendly, but they brought us the wrong pizza. The other pizza, the second one, was the most expensive on the menu, advertised as a special pizza with bacon, provolone, pulled pork cooked for 24 hours, and fries... it was a simple pizza piled high with fries, two small pieces of bacon, and two even smaller pieces of pulled pork... good, you can't say otherwise, but it wasn't true to the description. Then we had a portion of crispy sweet potatoes, with crispy meatballs and crispy sauce... I won't comment on the sauce because it depends on your taste... but what does crispy sweet potatoes and crispy meatballs mean to you? Definitely not just fried... As far as I know, crispy means crispy fried, not just fried... I also understand that sweet potatoes, the red ones, cost more... but where were the meatballs? Five measly little meatballs... 'portion of sweet potatoes' is more correct. We ordered a cartwheel margherita and we received a regular margherita... comparing the pizzas, they were practically all the same... We called the waiter and pointed this out. He replied that they also had special, larger plates for the cartwheel pizza, so we pointed out that the plates were the same... realizing the mistake, he said, 'You're right, I'll report it to the house so you can pay for a regular margherita.' We went to the cashier and found a cartwheel on the bill. To be honest, the waiter was standing next to us and didn't say anything... he was waiting for the tip... we told the cashier there had been a mistake in bringing us the pizza, since we had ordered a cartwheel, but a plain Margherita had arrived... and the waiter, still standing next to us, didn't bat an eyelid... They immediately corrected the bill and took off the 3 euro difference. Honestly, the food wasn't bad... but none of the three items we ordered matched the menu description... the place was nice and clean, as I said, and the staff was friendly, but I didn't like the waiter's behavior, who first admitted the mistake and then didn't notify the cashier, and I didn't like the fact that we didn't receive an apology for what happened... even though they corrected the bill. So, I'm sorry, but I don't think we'll go there again... also because the prices are on the high side.
