Dal Brigante Gasperone In Ariccia

Unfortunately the experience of 2 years ago was not repeated. We went on a Thursday evening in March and although there weren't many people, they put us at a table next to others. It wasn't physically possible for the waiters to move and we had to do it ourselves. How is it possible to have a large venue and sacrifice people on a non-crowded evening? Mysteries.... No menu and the usual "smart" mark-up for starters, but the platter is plentiful as are the other items, perhaps the strong point of the place. The first courses were normal, also plentiful. This time the mark-up on wine is unacceptable, a wine that costs 10 euros cannot be priced at 22 in a fraschetta then.... The other time the Falesco Tellus Chardonnay, which has a similar price, was sold for 12. I honestly don't know if the type of fraschette is experiencing a decline and no longer makes sense, given the prices that are increasingly closer to restaurants or if it was an "unlucky" evening. There were 2 of us and we paid 49 euros (price per kg) for starters, 1 first course each (about 9.10 euros), 3 digestives, 2 coffees, 44 euros of wine, 2 bottles of water, total price 150 euros. Honestly a little too much for a fraschetta, with fraschetta service and also fraschetta inconvenience.

First time in my life in a "fraschetta". I decided to go there to enjoy the true flavors of the Castelli Romani and obviously I chose Ariccia as my destination. On advice I went directly to "Dal Brigante Gasperone". I was welcomed quite warmly, they made me sit where I preferred and the adventure began. The starter is something superhuman in terms of quality and quantity. Everything really good: omelette, scamorza, meatballs with sauce, porchetta (orgasmic), couples, mortadella, DI-VI-NO bread (there is no other way to be defined), buffalo mozzarella, baked potatoes. If I really have to make a "criticism" I address it to the buffalo ricotta: filtered and creamed it loses its meaning in my opinion. Furthermore, placing that mixture of honey/fruit puree directly on the ricotta itself can clog the taste buds of purists like me. I would have preferred the ricotta in its "wild" state with the sauce on the side. But oh well, nothing serious. The first: a very simple cacio e pepe. But simple dishes are the most insidious and they fully passed the test. Even though I was practically bloated like a balloon from the richness of the starter, I devoured the pasta immediately. Very good, creamed just right, perfect temperature. I took the cheese and pepper cream off the plate. There's nothing else to add 😍 P.S. I forgot the real sore point, you can't charge 5 euros for a 1 liter glass bottle of Coca Cola. Come on... 😉

Typical fraschetta from Ariccia. Traditional dishes, very tasty. Very abundant dishes. Not the best wine, but that's my personal taste. Very courteous and welcoming staff. Very honest prices

VERY GOOD!!! see you soon!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Tables too close together that impede passage. Average quality food, nothing sensational. Exaggerated prices in particular for the starter except for the wine which is cheap with the possibility of taking it home if not finished. Pay attention to the final price before paying! I wouldn't go again

The ammatriciana with smoked bacon no longer had the flavor of the real ammatriciana. The rest was all very good, the crunch was a dream. Tables too small, 6 of us elbowed each other

Excellent fraschetta. At dinner with friends, I ate a good mixed starter and a delicious pappardella with white wild boar. Good and fast service. I will definitely go back.

From Brigante Gasperone you can breathe the authentic air of the Ariccia groves. the dishes offered are simple but made to perfection. the various appetizers satisfy the customer both in quality and quantity. I particularly underline the goodness of the porchetta (of another level), the Roman tripe and the buffalo burrata with honey. the traditional first and second courses are simply spectacular. the desserts satisfy all palates. the service is friendly and fast, typical of a nice hosteria. finally the bill leaves you with the desire to return because it is excellent considering the quality and quantity (with around €30 per person you will be full for days) truly the best in Ariccia...congratulations

una vera fraschetta a tutti gli effetti. dall arredo al servizio (cordiale e alla mano, simpaticissimi i ragazzi in sala ma mai invadenti, davvero un piacere) fino al cibo. delizioso il vino rosso della casa (che ho anche comprato per portare via), antipasto tipico compreso di parte fredda con salumi e parte calda cotta con patata arrosto trippa e fagioli salsiccia frittatina, una delizia. i primi cacio e pepe e carbonara una bomba al palato, sapidi e gustosi con la cremina da leccare anche il piatto. prezzo corretto in linea

È sempre piacevole mangiare in questo locale. Cucina casereccia, molto abbondante. Con il solo antipasto si è già sazi. Infatti noi dopo l'antipasto, il secondo non siamo riusciti a finirlo. Davvero un peccato. Tutto ottimo, pane compreso. Molto buono il vino della casa, servito imbottigliato, come previsto per legge. Conto adeguato alla qualità e quantità delle portate. Personale cortese ed efficiente.
