antico vico In Gaeta

16/02/2025: Let me start by saying one thing: it is a barbecue restaurant that should return to focusing on what it knows, meat. Everything else is reviewable. It is not enough to inflate the menu with words which then "on paper" do not correspond to reality. The ravioli filled with cardoncelli and chianina tastes neither of cardoncelli nor of chianina, which in my opinion are absent, and when cut, the presence of an unmentioned vegetable was evident (spinach? Friarelli? Let me know). among other things, the dish included "a light parmesan sauce" as a condiment although it arrived seasoned with a simple tomato sauce, watered down and with the classic hint of excessive acidity from a sauce that was not well drawn. Pork meatball good but too dry. Very good grilled bacon. The only truly worthy note are the bruschetta, although the cooking of the bread can be reviewed because toasting is fine but burning a little less, and the salted caramel dessert, truly excellent. For the rest, although convinced of the superior quality of the Meat raw material which leaves you speechless just by looking at it in the shop window, I would change the cook for the first courses. I would add that from a place that allows itself to offer a glass of wine at exorbitant prices, one expects a global offer worthy of the words used to inflate a menu that is certainly not worth the average expected expense. I won't be returning

15/11/2024: Excellent meat and cooking. Many specialties to try. The service is friendly and kind and the location lends itself to both groups and romantic dinners.
