Casa Ruggeri In Monterotondo

Compared to last year I found poor service and food. Little attention to the customer. Undrinkable drink, only ice.

... nice atmosphere and a beautiful view both for an aperitif and for dinner

A pleasant evening...I will gladly return hoping to find it more organized than I left it. I go into detail only in the hope that something constructive will come out of it. We were not offered the aperitif formula (discovered only when the menu was opened after the drinks had been ordered) and the addition of the aperitif formula after ordering the drinks was passed off as "a courtesy". Having ordered the gin I asked if there was a choice of gin and tonic, I was offered a gin made by them (well accepted) and a Kinley as tonic...a citrusy San Pellegrino tonic arrived ROOM TEMPERATURE (28 JULY 7pm 40 degrees ) not a pantry environment but just full sun. For dinner we order by specifying the order, STARTERS one me one my wife, SECONDS one me one my wife, SIDE dish one portion. My starter arrives, without my wife's. After 2 minutes my second arrives. I interrupt the appetizer so as not to let the meat get cold. My wife's second course also arrives with a side dish, we point out that her starter has not yet arrived and we ask at this point to give us time to eat what they brought before bringing it. Nothing. After 2 minutes the starter arrives. So within 6 minutes we found ourselves with all the dishes on the table delivered in no particular order. Before anyone says "you could have said it when you were there".... it was a wedding anniversary so I didn't want to raise issues, what's more the evening was pleasant, the review was high and I recommended the place to my friends anyway. The Maremma beef offered by them is good, it doesn't particularly suit carpaccio unless you push a lot with the seasonings, and the meat sushi is an affront. Fair prices and top location. I'll be back, sure to have a nice evening, hoping that over time some things will be fine-tuned.

The restaurant stands out for its characteristic atmosphere and the extraordinary location surrounded by greenery. It is half an hour's drive from Northern Rome, precisely in Monterotondo, in a fascinating agricultural context. The kindness of the staff, in particular Mattia, who welcomed us with warmth and attention, was a very positive note. However, the restaurant could further improve its concept, food and service to better reflect its potential. Being a family estate with its own products, it would have the opportunity to further enhance the connection with nature and respect for the environment. By diversifying the offering and focusing on dishes that reflect this philosophy, it could really stand out. At the moment, the place seems to be oriented towards a large clientele, managing up to more than six hundred seats and deafening music, which does not allow you to relax and enjoy the view and your friends. This approach can lead to compromises on the quality of service and attention to detail, crucial aspects for a true gastronomic experience. Furthermore, the prices are relatively high: pizzas range from 9 to 15 euros, making a trip out of town less justifiable when the offer is similar to that found in Rome. An example of this was the problem with wasps on the tables, which was solved with burnt coffee grounds. While I appreciate the ecological idea, a more professional and environmentally conscious approach would be desirable. Furthermore, although the staff were basically friendly, other staff members made mistakes with our orders, serving incorrect pizzas and correcting them without apologizing. To improve, I would suggest the restaurant focus more on the quality of the product and service, slightly reducing the number of seats to offer a more intimate and refined experience. This would not only justify the prices, but would also enhance the wonderful location and the company philosophy that it seems to inspire. In summary, the potential is enormous, and with some adjustments, this place could really become a point of reference for those looking for an authentic and quality experience outside of Rome.

I chose it to celebrate my birthday based on some experiences of acquaintances and reading reviews on social media. Expectations were far exceeded. The place is very nice. The guys who do table service are very kind, friendly and ready to satisfy every need! The pizza and appetizers are very good! So what can I say???? If you want to have a dinner or an aperitif this place is ideal!!!! Thanks for everything guys!!!! We will see each other soon.

Truly a nice place to spend summer evenings and enjoy a beautiful sunset, you eat very well and you also spend honestly, very good craft beer, excellent house wine and many well prepared dishes with very interesting combinations. A pleasant atmosphere accompanied by a DJ set, we mainly tried appetizers basing our visit on an aperitif/dinner and pizza, I will return without anything else to try first and second courses. Very fast service even though it was full, ordering was a little more complicated due to the large number of people, but all in all understandable, once ordered everything arrives very quickly.

The boy who served us was very kind, professional and thoughtful towards us..... good food and honest prices.... thanks see you next time

Excellent professionalism and quality. I highly recommend for all ages

Casa Ruggeri is a place where you can't help but feel at home! Quality food at an excellent price and a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.. during the summer when they open the outdoor garden is a spectacle.. highly recommended

Truly a great discovery, for the first time, my wife and I for dinner, beautiful scenery, delicious food, explained and recommended by Carmine perfectly, I hope I didn't get the name wrong, to come back and try other things. The place was full, but we didn't have to wait to be served. I definitely recommend it... And I'll see you soon Roberto
