Il Vecchio Forno In Poggio mirteto

01/09/2025: We left the restaurant with smiles on our faces: Mama's cooking, respectful of tradition, with the freshest ingredients and balanced flavors. The maltagliati made with ancient grain flours were exceptional, the lamb in sauce and the saddle of veal were incredibly tender, and the chopped chicory, just the way I like it, was fantastic. Excellent wines and, above all, a top-notch digestif: Amaro Virentis! The atmosphere is family-friendly, ideal for a get-together with friends or a family gathering. Very good value for the quality offered. I recommend booking! In short: superb cuisine, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere—a little restaurant definitely worth a visit!

02/06/2025: Halfway through a long bike ride, we arrive at 2:30 pm. A first course on the fly, water, wine and coffee (15€) and we were out at 3:00 pm. We had an excellent wild boar ragù. When we asked to add truffle to the fettuccine, they explained to us, with kind firmness, that certain combinations are not done at their house: "truffle is delicate, it goes with butter, anchovy, not with game." It was a lesson. "Of course if you really insist..." Oh no, in front of the chef with that sincerely pained face, no. We had already made a fool of ourselves, we are people who learn from our mistakes. In short, we left fuller and wiser. Thank you
