Brontolo In Cimitile

12/04/2026: The Sunday after Easter, I was looking for a steakhouse open for lunch. We stumbled upon this place without knowing it or reading the reviews. Never has a discovery been so welcome. I couldn't have had pasta, but as soon as they mentioned the Genovese, I couldn't resist: delicate, with meat that melted in your mouth. My wife had roast lamb, expertly marinated, exceptional flavor. My mother had some roasted sausages, but fortunately she eats very little. I had one... my palate went back 20 years, when we ate good, authentic food. Then, seeing as I'd already "slipped up," damage for damage... I ordered a pork chop and a muzzariello, sublime. Everything was washed down with a bottle of extraordinary wine, and accompanied by baskets of bread that arrived before they were even gone. Generous portions for each course. The only flaw, but one that's forgiveable given the busy dining room, was a forgotten side dish, which I probably wouldn't have been able to finish anyway. The staff were kind and friendly, not forced by the circumstances, attentive, and never intrusive. We'll definitely be back to try other dishes, as the meat display was tempting, as were the charcuterie boards I saw served at other tables. What can I say? I'll recommend it to friends and anyone else reading this.

07/04/2026: This Easter, I decided to rely on the Antico Portone for takeout lunch. I was sure they wouldn't disappoint me, and in fact, you were "excellent"! 👏 Professionalism, quality, price, and above all, family! 😍 I wanted to thank you because you reminded me so much of my "mother's" flavors. 🧑‍🦳 I recommend you for any occasion, it's truly worth it. 👌
