Agriturismo Santa Maria al Monte In Forio

24/08/2024: I was here in the spring, treating myself to a nice vacation. And ended up having an upset stomach during my meal. Which was in no way in any way related to the restaurant, I think it's because I had too much wine the night before :-) They were exceedingly accommodating, both willing to not charge me for the additional courses that I had ordered, But I was there intentionally, and incredibly interested in actually trying the food. They ended up graciously accommodating by letting me take the next couple back to my hotel with me. And as my stomach settled I was able to enjoy some of the most delicious food that I've ever had. I felt embarrassed to ask, I felt like I was insulting the chefs by asking for their intentionally, exquisitely detailed and crafted dishes to be presented ultimately in a cheaper way, that isn't true to their own initial vision. But I didn't feel judged, I felt the team was very understanding. And I was grateful. In my early twenties I worked for a Michelin chef in New York. I have immense respect for everybody who works with an a Michelin organization understanding the extreme amount of planning and work that goes into you every single service. And I was humbled and grateful for the accommodation. I can't wait until many years from now I hope I have the opportunity to revisit this restaurant without any stomach upset, and fully respect the chefs as they deserve. Even as takeaway, the food was freaking fantastic. I still think about the flavors playing on the fish dishes. Gorgeous. Thank you everyone.Thank you everyone.

20/08/2024: Cena alla carta davvero unica. Entre molto particolare che già ci ha fatto capire il resto del pasto ! Abbiamo scelto antipasto di mare quello con astice e tortino di pesce davvero speciali. I primi erano superlativi il risotto fantastico ma anche la pasta mista con astice e burrata era a dir poco perfetta e bilanciata nella sapidità. Siamo passati ai dolci perché sebbene è uno stellato le porzioni non sono mini. Tiramisù unico da provare non si può descrivere e il dolce alla pera era buono e anche bello. Hanno servito mini pasticceria e pre dessert buonissimi da poter mettere anche in carta. Bisogna andare a mangiare per provare perché leggere dei piatti senza gustarli non vi può far capire il sapore! Lo chef ci ha scritto sui piatti gli auguri cosa molto gradita.
