Il Primo Amore In Rocca di mezzo

Atypical restaurant where only first courses (very good) and desserts are served

What can I say? You never forget your "first love." It wasn't just a truly enjoyable culinary experience, but also a shared experience of emotions and values. Chef Alessia and her daughter managed to convey a warmth and love for simple yet refined cuisine, which they shared with us as they shared their fascinating story. Keep up the good work, and we'll take home a wonderful memory. We look forward to seeing you at our Cascina in Milan!

Excellent dinner, delicious dishes. Delicious appetizers, first courses, side dishes, and desserts. Carola and Aurora welcomed us with kindness and professionalism. Chef Alessia cooks very well, with authentic flavors and unique combinations; she stops by the tables to say hello and at the end of the evening, even chats with the staff (a relationship with customers that has long been lost elsewhere). Grandma at the cash register is super! PET FRIENDLY Book now!

If there were more than 5 stars, I would definitely have given them. The place was welcoming and clean, from the location to the service of the girls in the dining room and the owner who came to make sure everything was fine. The food was amazing, from appetizers to dessert, and the first courses were worthy of the restaurant's name. In short, TOP TOP TOP. We'll definitely be back.

This restaurant is well above the best standards on the plateau and, personally, a favorite even compared to other highly regarded Roman restaurants. We've been here several times now, and the excellent memories always live up to expectations: exquisite dishes (especially the duck breast and licorice chitarrina) and friendly, welcoming service. Reservations are recommended during high season!

Whenever we return to Ovindoli for the holidays, our first stop is always here. We discovered it by chance, and my family and I have fallen in love with it ever since. The place is welcoming and makes you feel right at home. The appetizers are delicious, there's nothing more to say; the idea of ​​putting honey in the moka pot is very nice. The first courses are delicious, carefully crafted, and you can tell the chef put a lot of work into them. I'm not a fan of sweets; I prefer savory, but the Amaro del Capo semifreddo was superb... We've been coming here for years, and every time we leave the table, we always leave with a smile. I highly recommend trying this hidden gem in Rocca di Mezzo :)

Small restaurant with a nice atmosphere and excellent food.

Reservations are required well in advance. The interior is well-maintained, but the tables are too close together. The dishes are original and well-matched. They don't serve main courses, but they do serve good first courses and appetizers. A few desserts are available.

Consiglio assolutamente questo ristorante. Non molto grande ma ben curato internamente. La cucina è creativa, realizzata con amore e prodotti locali dalla chef che a fine servizio passa a salutare i clienti. I nostri amici a 4 zampe sono ben accetti.

Un ristorante che porta davvero bene il suo nome: “Il Primo Amore” conquista fin dal primo istante. Il locale è intimo e accogliente, curato nei dettagli e gestito da una famiglia gentilissima e sempre sorridente, che ti fa sentire come a casa. L’atmosfera è calda e familiare, ideale per una cena rilassante e piena di gusto. Un punto a favore per chi, come noi, viaggia con il proprio amico a quattro zampe: il nostro piccolo chihuahua è stato accolto con naturalezza e affetto, senza alcun problema. Gli antipasti sono una vera delizia, curati non solo nella presentazione ma soprattutto nella qualità: si sente la genuinità dei prodotti scelti con attenzione. I primi piatti sono un’eccellenza, preparati con passione e ingredienti di primissima scelta. Ogni portata racconta una storia di tradizione e amore per la cucina. Cinque stelle sono davvero poche per descrivere l’esperienza vissuta: qualità, cortesia e passione si fondono in un mix perfetto. Una serata da ricordare e sicuramente da ripetere!
