Al Giovenzano In Ciciliano

Place full of food and fantastic quality

As always fantastic, for 25 euros a very varied fixed menu of around 11 small appetizers which alone are enough to fill you up, then two first courses and a second course with a side dish all homemade. The meal is enriched by a very familiar atmosphere, we have been coming here since my grandfather discovered it and it has always deserved over the last 40 years. Simply Giovenzano

Farmhouse with fixed price menu, 25 euros during the week, 30 euros on Sundays. The price may change on holidays. Abundant starter, two first and second courses, water, wine, coffee and grappa or limoncello included. Reservations are recommended.

This farmhouse is located about 15 minutes from Castel Madama. Some dear friends of ours who already knew this place brought us. The location is wonderful, surrounded by nature and paths. The restaurant is very spacious and super organised. Excellent quality and super service! An ideal place if you want to disconnect from the daily routine, breathe pure air and go for walks. The starters are many, plentiful and very good. The first and second courses are delicious. I highly recommend!

Cucina molto casereccia e tipica romana. Si mangia in abbondanza e si spende poco o comunque, il giusto. I menù ed i prezzi stanno sul sito. Io non posso recensire positivamente la struttura che ha anche molto spazio all’interno. Sono stato di domenica nella sala di sinistra. Più che riempita era zeppata di gente, tutti appiccicati, una confusione insopportabile. Sembrava di stare in discoteca. Al centro della sala c’è un isola dove svuotano i piatti e li impilano. I camerieri non si fanno nessun problema a fare piano, anzi più casino fanno con i piatti e più sono contenti. Dopo un po’ il chiasso dei piatti che sbattevano era insopportabile. Capisco che non è un ristorantino romantico ed è un agriturismo, ma ci vuole anche un po’ di delicatezza e di rispetto per i clienti. Non riuscivamo a parlare neanche uno di fronte all’altro. Il mangiare è importante, ma anche il clima è l’atmosfera di un locale sono fondamentali. Nei posti esterni sicuramente si starà meglio ma all’interno, di domenica è un inferno.

I had the pleasure of having lunch at what I consider to be one of the best restaurants in the area for those looking for an authentic Roman culinary experience. The starter offering was surprisingly rich and varied, with dishes ranging from traditional pasta with lentils, to a selection of quality cold cuts and cheeses, beans with pork rinds, liver sausages, and pizza with mortadella. The list of appetizers also included stew with potatoes and tripe with sauce, confirming the richness of the Roman culinary tradition represented on the menu. The cuisine did not disappoint even when it came to the first courses, served with homemade pasta: the first with a robust ragù and the second, a combination of speck, cheese and broccoli. Despite my personal aversion to broccoli, which was the only flaw in the dining experience, the high quality and taste of the other dishes more than made up for this small disappointment. The meal ended on a high with a mixed grill that included sausages, chops and potatoes, followed by grappa and limoncello, coffee and traditional wine donuts. The portions were generous, ensuring an experience that was both tasty and filling at a very fair price. In summary, this restaurant represents a must-see for anyone looking for an authentically Roman culinary experience outside the eternal city. Despite my personal disappointment with one ingredient, the high quality of the dishes, the abundance of the portions, make this place a must for lovers of good food visiting the region.

For robust appetites, quantity, quality at a modest price, good service, friendly and polite waiters, very nice place, definitely worth returning

There were 15 of us on March 8, I must say that it is a beautiful, immense place surrounded by greenery, the staff were very courteous, the menu was very good, and a lot of stuff was left over, they never stopped bringing dishes, I highly recommend it

A wonderful place surrounded by greenery with excellent and very abundant food. The bathroom is too small and poorly maintained
