Il Fratone In Marino

I was here on a Tuesday evening in late March. I discovered the place by chance while looking for a cozy trattoria to have dinner. The atmosphere is simple but refined. The owner was very kind and engaged in conversation between courses. I ordered a fried zucchini flower, and they offered me a fried artichoke. The flower was one of the best I've eaten in recent years, and the owner explained to me that their secret is that they fry it in a small pan and that they change the oil every 10 times so it's always clean and light. Next, I had a gricia. It wasn't overly creamy, but it was very flavorful, and the guanciale was nice and crispy. I then had a half portion of coratella, but it was a bit heavy, despite how good it was. I wouldn't have it again because it left me feeling heavy until the next morning. I finished with some homemade biscuits, which were excellent!! All this was accompanied by a half liter of white wine. In total, I spent 25 euros!! I'll definitely be back to try the panoramic terrace, which I've seen wonderful photos of from other users. SEE YOU NEXT TIME 😄

A quaint, family-run restaurant. It feels like a family lunch. There were eight of us, and the dishes were plentiful and very good. We preferred the homemade pasta. The service was quick, and the waiter and the owners, one of whom is a very good chef, were friendly. We had a great time.

This restaurant was a wonderful surprise. The artichoke cacio e pepe was a delight, the mixed roast was a delight, and the chicory and fries (not frozen) were the finishing touch. My sincere compliments. The plates are pictured.

One of the last sanctuaries of Roman cuisine in Marino. Excellent.

It is the tradition of the people of Marina di Carrara, a point of reference for Romans who take trips out of town.

Cristiano the waiter is the added value

We eat well, home-made, everything is good and fresh and above all the environment for us is like a family

Hello, Il Fratone is located just steps from the town of Marino. The atmosphere is informal and family-friendly. My wife and I enjoyed a lovely day and had lunch on the panoramic terrace. Given the seasonality, I opted for homemade porcini mushroom fettuccine and finger-licking pan-fried porcini mushrooms. My wife opted for chicory and chicken with peppers, which she mopped up. The service was courteous and fast, and the ingredients were top-quality. We were also satisfied with the price. We'll definitely be back!
