15/10/2024: Today, first experience with American family and relatives. 11 people for lunch in this beautiful "term, qualifying for me" trattoria on the shores of Lake Canterno, very close to Fiuggi. The impact was immediately more than positive; intimate atmosphere (the place is not large), with tables overlooking the lake, well looked after, with the famous ceiling with wooden beams, traditional rustic wooden furniture; all very sober and free of stylistic exasperation. They also have a fair amount of tables in outdoor spaces and under porches, all near the shores of the lake. Lots of greenery, well kept, clean, and therefore children would appreciate it very much. Truly bucolic environment, of those of the past. All those hills around with the towns of Trivigliano, Torre Caetani, Fiuggi at the top. In short, you feel comfortable, like at home. Such a positive environmental situation also corresponds to an equally positive evaluation of food. Forget the new cuisine; here you die like heroes, thanks to dishes with generous portions of fresh pasta with mushrooms, truffles, wild boar sauce, and more, more, more...!! You would eat it all in a sort of "La Grande Bouffe". But age forces us to limit ourselves. Classic Ciociaria appetizers with cheeses, ricotta, hams etc. etc..etc.... Delicious meat, very tender and in short; my mother and mother-in-law couldn't have done better. Downsides? No, honestly I haven't found any. I give 4 stars, only because for me 5 stars are perfection, with the added bonus of that magical touch worthy of great chefs, who always manage to add a particular flavour, that icing that makes the difference. Here we are at 4 stars, (sorry if it's not enough), and I assure you that I don't give them easily; I don't let anything or anyone influence me. It's only the food that makes me decide, and also the behavior and kindness of the staff; and in this too there is nothing to complain about. Then, lastly, the pleasant surprise; 11 people, €350.00 euros. If you remove €50 of wine, you will understand that the picture is completed with a beautiful frame. I'll be back I'll be back I'll be back...!!
P.S. in my opinion, a little place like this will certainly be packed on Saturday and Sunday. I would avoid; then the choice is yours..!! Health and good life to all of you who read this..!!
