Antica Trattoria Vignocchi In Pievepelago

A wonderful experience that changed our evening. The restaurant is downtown, with a street-side entrance, a pizza oven, and tables all around and in a room right behind it. A tall, black-haired, black-eyed girl with a neat, orderly appearance escorts us to our table. "We've made a reservation," "then talk to him." The kind "him" confirms our table for two. We sit down, place our order, the antipasto (a very rich one, which we shared), and shortly afterward they bring us the pasta e fagioli (pasta and beans), the condiments (oil, vinegar, salt, pepper), and suddenly... a large man arrives with round glasses, a chef's apron, a hat, a sweet smile, and a genuine courtesy, with the calm, affable words of a "Daddy Pig" who's always at the stove and occasionally wants to see someone: he brings us the pappardelle with hare. We immediately like him; we adore him. Both the pasta e fagioli and the pappardelle are excellent. Dessert time: the lady offers us Stracchino della Duchessa. We ask what it is, and who the duchess is, and the lady, as kind and affable as our now-adopted Daddy Pig, tells us the story of the dessert: in short, not only is it not stracchino (it's Chantilly cream), but there's no duchess at all. And in any case, she's revisited the dessert. Got it. While I'm there enjoying it, the girl from before arrives. With a confident questioning voice and a deep look in her eyes, she asks us very seriously if we use condiments (oil, vinegar, salt). For a moment, I wonder what the question means, since I was enjoying the Chantilly cream, maybe a drizzle of oil or a sprinkling of pepper could have been used on the Stracchino della Duchessa... then I look closely at the girl: Wednesday. Maybe she would have put them there. Adorable, fantastic. I tell her no, I don't put anything on the dessert. Satisfied, she takes the condiments away. We get up, take one last look at "our" dad Pig working in the kitchen, a timid smile at Wednesday, who smiles back (wow!), and we head to the register to pay. No, it wasn't over: there's a sign posted saying "When booking, remember to mention dogs, children, and strollers, to ensure a suitable seat." Ionesco's restaurant is a comedy of the absurd. Very reasonable prices, delicious dishes, even if limited, definitely worth returning to. Just so you know, we adored you. You're all wonderful. Thank you for the wonderful evening you, perhaps unknowingly, gave us. Highly recommended place (and staff).

Excellent restaurant and pizzeria I've been there several times, and for a first course, I recommend the ricotta and spinach tortelloni with burto and sage, which are fabulous (see photo). The pizza is also very good (see photo). The desserts are excellent and varied: Duchess stracchino, various semifreddos, Catalan cream, white or black truffle. The staff is friendly. Good value for money. I recommend

The place needs a good renovation, the food is excellent, the staff is never too good! There are a few small errors in the service. I always enjoy going there because the food is very good.

A lovely trattoria/pizzeria near the center of Pievepelago with a good selection of traditional and classic dishes from our Apennines. The dishes we chose were excellent. The staff is kind and friendly, although they lack a smile, which is usually appreciated by customers. Average value for money.

Passing through Pievepelago, my wife and I dined at this trattoria based on the good reviews on Google Maps. The atmosphere is rather dated, the staff is very friendly, and the service is prompt. The menu isn't extensive, but it features typical local dishes. The tortellini in broth and pasta e fagioli are delicious. The beef braised in red wine is a must-try, and finally, the stracchino della duchessa is a must-try. Good value for money.

We recently had lunch at this restaurant, particularly appreciating the authenticity of the raw materials used. Arriving around 12:30 🕧, we were warmly greeted by the young man 🧑🏻 at the counter who immediately accompanied us to an open table. He quickly handed us the menus 📋 and took our drink order (a couple of bottles of water 💧, one still and the other sparkling). In the end, we opted for two first courses (tagliatelle with meat sauce 🍝 and pappardelle with hare) and a couple of side dishes. To finish, two desserts (crème brulee) and a coffee ☕. Everything was really very good 😋 and well-cooked, especially considering the quality of the basic ingredients (the hare meat was exquisite). The service wasn't quite up to par (a few snags here and there), but overall it was sufficient. The overall atmosphere is relaxing and homey. Prices are reasonable. The bathrooms 🚾, although clean and tidy 🚽🧻🧴, could perhaps use a refresh. The location is strategic, as the property is right in the center along the main pedestrian street 🚶🏻‍♂️. We liked it, so we recommend it 👍.
