Da Giancarlone - La Piazzetta di Roma In Roma

05/05/2025: I am very happy to share this experience, because I had asked for information at a service station on where to eat excellent first courses and they suggested Il Caminetto. We booked by telephone, we were two families with 4 adults and 4 children, they welcomed us in this room with a fireplace in the center lit (it will be beautiful in winter, but in May it starts to get hot 😅, but we opened a window due to the problem). However, to make a long story short but not too long, we ordered the typical first courses of Rome including carbonara, cacio e pepe and tagliatelle with meat sauce. It was all S-Q-U-I-S-I-T-O, the carbonara was the real thing and the cacio e pepe was exceptional, never eaten so good. It's a shame that I chose short sleeves, sure that with spaghetti it would have been the best. We took two mixed meats, very good apart from the sirloin was a little too dry, the rest was really good. As a side dish they brought us two portions of french fries, and they were fresh, not the usual frozen ones. Half a liter of house red wine, just to accompany the meat and the first courses. In summary, 7 first courses, two mixed meats, two fried potatoes, half a wine, 4 water, 3 canned cokes plus covers, we spent €150, I think that is a more than fair price. We were very happy with the dinner, also because the next day the carbonara in a restaurant in central Rome was with cream... and I'll stop here. The only thing, the place is a little dated, but between a nice place and a good dish, I prefer the latter. Until next time, greetings from Naples. PS = thank you for your patience with the children.

01/05/2025: Very relaxing atmosphere in a very green context. The service was a little slow in the presence of so many people but still always friendly. Very good food. Very recommended. PS: internal parking which doesn't hurt at all and with a beautiful view of the surrounding natural context.
