I Piaceri Di C'Era Una Volta In Campagna

We just returned from a little corner of paradise in the Campagna hills, and we can only say one thing: we fell in love. This place is much more than a place to dine: it's a warm, welcoming, authentic refuge, where every detail—from the table to the stone, from the kitchen to the company—makes you feel at home... only better. All the dishes we tasted were locally sourced, cooked with true passion and a quality now only found in dreams... or here. We started with a rustic and divine appetizer: local cured meats, fresh cheese, and old-fashioned bread. Then came warm and fragrant peasant soups, artisanal ravioli with a delicate and creamy filling, flavorful and tender meats like grilled sausage and pancetta, and perfectly stewed vegetables, bursting with flavor and memories of my grandmother. All served with simplicity and love, and accompanied by a full-bodied and generous house wine, poured from a ceramic jug that was worth the photo alone. The location is a dream, meticulously cared for in every detail without feeling fake. It's like entering an attic of memories, where every object tells a story. Among stone arches, plants, overflowing bookcases, a vintage motorcycle... and then cameras from every era, scattered as if they were fragments of life lived, not just furnishings. There's a real soul in that poetic chaos: chandeliers, paintings, statues set in the rock, old books, ceramics, heavy tablecloths. It's not furnished: it's inhabited. You can feel peace, beauty, and a sincere welcome, as if time had stopped, but with a heart still warm. Honorable mention to Tonino, the owner. He welcomed us with genuine kindness and made us feel part of his home. We chatted for a long time, laughing and talking about life. Noemi really enjoyed the food, especially the first courses. And Thomasino? Well, he ate more than usual! And she's already decided she wants to come back here for her birthday, even though we're from Milan! (She left no doubt!) A place where you eat great, you feel great, and we'll definitely be back. Thank you so much for giving us a real experience. Andrea, Gabriella, Noemi, and Thomas

Dining at this restaurant was a unique experience for my wife and I, a journey through the traditions and flavors of the area. We ate and drank divinely, from appetizer to dessert, all expertly prepared with locally sourced ingredients, and an incredible value (we only spent €35 per person, all-inclusive). A truly sublime experience, highly recommended! 😋❤️
