09/11/2025: Wonderful experience, excellent pairings, but above all, sublime cuisine. We had the tasting menu, and it was generous. Excellent value for money.
03/11/2025: YES, A TRATTORIA, BUT YOU CAN FEEL THE HAND OF A STARRED CHEF
If you decide to book at this trattoria, you need to take your time because the cuisine is express and there are nine courses (not just samples!).
We're talking three appetizers, three first courses, a second course with two side dishes, and a dessert. All excellent, with the ingenious additions that our chef Salvatore Tassa has accustomed us to.
Definitely worthy of mention are the Ravioli with Mortadella and Parmesan in Rosemary Beef Broth, made by the Signora who prepares them at an open counter along with all the pasta, as well as the Cannoli Dolci to finish. Also worthy of mention are the Cauliflower and Chestnut Soup, or the Tagliolini with Burnt Tomato and Pecorino. The Goat Soup, followed by roast goat and broccoli, is also excellent. Or the Mixed Salad with Licorice Oil and Pecorino.
For those of us who don't eat meat, like me, there's no problem: the ravioli were made with potatoes and pecorino cheese. Superb. Instead of the kid, they served me grilled Primo Sale with mint-flavored Pioppini mushrooms.
To finish, a homemade ricotta cannoli with caramel.
With a good Cesanese di Affile, mineral water, and two coffees, €71 per person. (About €8 per course!!!)
