Analysis by Category:
Kitchen:
Trattoria La Tana del Grillo offers home-style and generous cuisine, with generous portions that satisfy even the most demanding palates. The choice of first and second courses is wide and varied. However, the pasta was judged to be a little "bland", suggesting the need to better balance the flavors and add a touch of personality to the dishes.
Locals:
The environment of the restaurant is characterized by a suggestive atmosphere, thanks to the vaulted ceiling and the marble columns which recall a bygone era. The "vintage" Milano model chairs and the matching table add a touch of elegance to the room. However, the lighting is a little dark and impersonal, detracting from the overall atmosphere. Greater brightness and some details in the furnishings could further enhance the space.
Courtesy:
The service at Tana del Grillo is fast and attentive. The owner is friendly and helpful. A small flaw is represented by the forgetting of a side dish, promptly recovered after a judge's report.
Price:
The quality-price ratio of the restaurant is good, with a business lunch menu at €13. However, the fact that beer (in bottles) is excluded and offered with a surcharge of €4 could be penalizing compared to other places in the area that include it in the price.
Conclusion:
Trattoria La Tana del Grillo is a welcoming and familiar place, where you can enjoy dishes with generous portions. The cuisine, albeit with some small notes on flavours, offers a good variety of choices. The environment is suggestive, but could be enhanced with more adequate lighting. Service is fast and friendly, if not flawless. The price is affordable, but the addition of the cost of beer might put off some customers.
Final rating: 4/5 stars
