23/11/2025: We had lunch for two at this family-run Osteria, serving excellent traditional Roman cuisine.
We had a starter of pappardelle with hare sauce, exceptionally delicious, and the strozzapreti with artichokes and bacon, delicately flavored and scented with Roman mint, both equally excellent.
For our main course, the legendary coda alla vaccinara, incredibly soft and flavorful, and the boiled meatballs.
The house red wine paired perfectly with the courses!
A special mention for the artichoke alla giudia, simply perfect!
To round out these superb courses, we sampled the desserts: zuppa inglese, a top-notch Italian trifle, and tiramisu, a runner-up.
The host, Mr. Massimo, who guided us through the entire selection of dishes, proved to be very knowledgeable and a keen connoisseur of the various specialties.
We will definitely be back and I recommend trying it; you won't be disappointed!

It's more than just a restaurant, it's a true embrace, a refuge where time slows and the flavors are powerful, honest, and incredibly warm.

The excitement begins even before the menu: the caves, open to visitors, are the ancient heart of the restaurant, a fascinating immersion in the land of Genzano that makes every bite a profound connection with the region.
