Aquila 2 In Roma

13/03/2026: Cantina Simonetti is a great place in Frascati for those seeking traditional local cuisine, with a few subtle twists that make the dishes interesting without distorting their identity. The atmosphere is informal and pleasant, and the service was courteous and helpful, which always contributes to a more relaxed dinner. Among the dishes I tried, I really enjoyed the coratella, well-prepared and flavorful, a dish that perfectly captures the local tradition. The Ascoli olives stuffed with porchetta were also excellent, a tasty twist on the classic version and decidedly successful. Overall, the food is good, with the cuisine remaining faithful to tradition but with a few original ideas here and there. The only small complaint concerns the cream served at the end of the meal, which was quite alcoholic. Nothing dramatic, but perhaps it would have been helpful to point this out before bringing it to the table so everyone knew what to expect. That said, the experience was still positive: the food is good, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere remains that of a trattoria that showcases local flavors. Passed. A great place for those who want to try traditional Frascati dishes with some interesting twists.

08/03/2026: An excellent experience at this Frascati restaurant, a gem in the historic center. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, attentive, and service was prompt. The food, I'd say, was excellent quality and well-cooked. The Schiaffoni alla Frascatana served in a pot were superb. The price was right.
