Il Caravaggio In Caprarola

Excellent cuisine, elegant atmosphere.

My reviews tend to be long, so for those in a hurry, I'll say right away that this place is highly recommended! Now let's get into the details: 1) Location: A magnificent 500-year-old structure on Via Nicolai, the long central street that leads to the foot of the magnificent Palazzo Farnese. 2) Ownership: A husband and wife team run the place, and as we all know, family-run business minimizes risk. Mrs. Ilaria, working in the dining room with Germana, and Ilaria's husband in the kitchen, creating excellent dishes, truly form the perfect team. 3) Service: Ilaria's kindness and helpfulness gave us moments of absolute pleasure, with service that was never intrusive but also never absent. 4) Food Quality: From the excellent mixed fried fish, to the excellent (and beautiful to look at) grilled dishes, to the interesting and delicious first courses, and the desserts, everything that arrived at the table was met with admiration and a great taste. The generous portions are typical of places that do well, and therefore cater not only to tourists but also, and above all, to locals. Locals, especially in this area, prefer these generous portions. It's good to know this before ordering... 5) The price: not a cent more than you'd hoped to pay!!! Exceptional!! I can only say good things about this place, and if you're in the area and looking for a place to stay, Ilaria will also welcome you to her B&B. Could you ask for more?

New place and very good food😊 helpful and friendly staff

The staff were friendly, the food was decent, and I didn't like the creamy scampi risotto at all, but the rest was good. The gnocchi, which were off-menu and on the blackboard, were delicious.

A simple restaurant, the only distinctive feature being the fresco on the vault. Typical dishes are average. Good desserts. Average prices. Friendly staff.

I had a house appetizer, a selection of cured meats, all excellent quality. The same goes for the pizza. Excellent pizza. The only thing that needs updating is the small, and therefore somewhat noisy, place. The Caravaggio paintings are a welcome addition. The prices are fair and reasonable. Based on my experience, I highly recommend this restaurant.

The dishes we had were really excellent and the staff were very helpful and kind.
