Il Caminetto In Frascati

I am very happy to share this experience, because I had asked for information at a service station on where to eat excellent first courses and they suggested Il Caminetto. We booked by telephone, we were two families with 4 adults and 4 children, they welcomed us in this room with a fireplace in the center lit (it will be beautiful in winter, but in May it starts to get hot 😅, but we opened a window due to the problem). However, to make a long story short but not too long, we ordered the typical first courses of Rome including carbonara, cacio e pepe and tagliatelle with meat sauce. It was all S-Q-U-I-S-I-T-O, the carbonara was the real thing and the cacio e pepe was exceptional, never eaten so good. It's a shame that I chose short sleeves, sure that with spaghetti it would have been the best. We took two mixed meats, very good apart from the sirloin was a little too dry, the rest was really good. As a side dish they brought us two portions of french fries, and they were fresh, not the usual frozen ones. Half a liter of house red wine, just to accompany the meat and the first courses. In summary, 7 first courses, two mixed meats, two fried potatoes, half a wine, 4 water, 3 canned cokes plus covers, we spent €150, I think that is a more than fair price. We were very happy with the dinner, also because the next day the carbonara in a restaurant in central Rome was with cream... and I'll stop here. The only thing, the place is a little dated, but between a nice place and a good dish, I prefer the latter. Until next time, greetings from Naples. PS = thank you for your patience with the children.

Very relaxing atmosphere in a very green context. The service was a little slow in the presence of so many people but still always friendly. Very good food. Very recommended. PS: internal parking which doesn't hurt at all and with a beautiful view of the surrounding natural context.

Meat as good as the house wine, excellent experience.

Tutto veramente buono dall’antipasti ai dolci materie prime di ottima, banco della carne con molta scelta. Prezzi giusti , personale gentile

Everything is really good, from the starters to the desserts, with excellent raw materials. Fair prices, friendly staff

Homely and welcoming. Delicious meat.

I am really happy to review this restaurant, because... it deserves the best! I came here together with the legendary Giovanni Feliciani, colleague and superior! The owners are not only extremely kind, but also able to satisfy any palate, even the most demanding, especially those who love good meat in all its forms (there is a wide selection of cuts to choose from, in the spacious display case in front of the fireplace, from which the place derives its name). What about the appetizers? They too are rich in every delicacy: a particular note of praise for the hand-cut ham, the beans all' uccelletto, the grilled vegetables, the fried foods of their own production and so on and so forth! For the occasion, I enjoyed the excellent polenta accompanied by pork ribs and sausages. To conclude the abundance of food served, I tasted the excellent desserts made by the expert hands of the owner who, given the imminent Carnival, delighted in excellent fried delicacies and treats... I'm still salivating remembering the zeppoline filled with custard! The dining room staff is also extremely attentive to customer needs. The large room is also equipped with convenient outdoor parking and a pleasant outdoor veranda, ideal for beautiful spring and summer days, to be spent admiring the beautiful surrounding countryside, far from the chaos of the city. The price, among other things, is truly competitive compared to standards. The venue is suitable for informal convivial meetings for families and friends. Thanks again to... and... come in large numbers: it's really worth it! 🥰

Excellent experience, friendly service, nice environment. Excellent proposals for grilled cuts of meat, rigorously cooked with seasoned wood embers... Fresh meat, displayed in a large refrigerated counter, in full view! Good side dishes... Special desserts. Price normal. Recommended for those who love eating meat! Ample and free parking.

Ottima esperienza, servizio cordiale, ambiente curato. Ottime proposte di tagli di carne alla brace, rigorosamente cotta con brace di legna stagionata... Carn fresca, esposta in un grande banco frigo, a vista! Contorni buoni... Dolci particolari. Prezzo nella norma. Consigliato per chi ama mangiare carne! Parcheggio ampio e gratuito.

We had a tasty selection of cold cuts and a very tasty and juicy steak, all served by a friendly staff. Price was maybe a bit high if I consider both what we ate and the location. You pay the steak by weight and I recommend to wait and check what is the actual weight you get
