Il Torchio In Frascati

The restaurant is located in Frascati, on a small street, with a fairly hidden entrance. The location has a rustic yet refined style. The menu doesn't follow the usual patterns of most restaurants, but has its own identity, featuring old recipes reworked with a modern twist. The service was courteous and professional. There are special offers for both the wine list and the dessert menu.

Everything was perfect! Refined dishes, meticulous presentation, and prompt service. Well done!

Excellent discovery, refined food and very kind and helpful staff.

Quiet atmosphere, good food... all products from the Lazio region... fair value for money

Excellent restaurant. We celebrated a birthday and occupied the entire place, which is usually closed for Sunday lunch. The food is good, and the atmosphere and service are up to expectations.

Excellent experience. Original dishes made with seasonal ingredients. A quiet and welcoming atmosphere.

November 2, 2025, they introduced a menu featuring autumn produce... porcini mushrooms, pumpkin, chestnuts, cauliflower... definitely worth a try 👍... see the latest photos attached. I'd be lying if I said I didn't know this place, but... the review isn't biased. I came alone for dinner because, in my opinion, the dishes are well-balanced in quantity, just right (I don't eat much in the evening), and tasty. The cuisine features local products and is masterfully prepared by a chef with many years of experience... there's plenty of photos, and I'm no expert at photography. The dining room is very spacious and nicely muffles the din of the fully-filled tables. The service has greatly improved: fast and precise. Ask the owner about the dishes, which he carefully describes. I hadn't been here in a while, but they've expanded the wine list. I read that someone commented on the price; it's certainly proportionate to the effort put into the dining room and kitchen, and the consistently excellent quality of the ingredients. One small weakness, being almost central to Frascati, is that you're either very lucky to find a parking spot right under the restaurant, or you can walk a hundred meters or so. Three people in the dining room and three in the kitchen on a Friday night ensure attentive service and speed. I've been going there for years, and overall, my opinion hasn't changed. I still recommend it.

Magnificent experience. Excellent cuisine and a sophisticated and surprising vegetarian selection. The dish that impressed me most was the pumpkin and porcini crumble: superb!!! I was very pleased with the selection of wines from Lazio and local wineries. I tried a rosé from the cellar shared between the restaurant and two other establishments: rustic yet captivating notes. The price for dinner for two was €120: 3 appetizers, 1 first course, 2 second courses, 2 desserts, and 1 wine. I found it to be fair considering the quality of the food and ingredients. I'll gladly return!

Everything was incredible. I ate a Tono di Manzo that was incredible. Three adults and a sleeping 4-year-old girl ate it.

Wonderful place, delicious food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. Highly recommended.
