La Canadese In Fondi

La Canadese is a typical restaurant that perfectly interprets local cuisine and tradition. Let me just say we were very hungry! And we were fed, and in a big way! Jokes aside, on our way back from Rome, we accompanied a dear friend to Fondi and asked him to take us to dinner at a trattoria where we could eat well and affordably. Without hesitation, he took us to La Canadese. The friendly and helpful staff seated us on the air-conditioned veranda. The atmosphere was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The wait staff was kind and helpful, and the dishes were delivered promptly, except for the first course, but I'll tell you why later. We ordered a generous appetizer for four, and I can assure you it was plentiful and enough for everyone. In addition to the cold cuts, cured meats, and cheeses, there were two terracotta pots with beans and pork rinds—amazing; and polenta with meat sauce—divine. All of this was accompanied by at least three freshly baked focaccias, served square-cut and piping hot. A 40ml Menabrea red wine, a special one! Then, I assure you, already full and satisfied, we ordered 4 fettuccine with porcini mushrooms... and what can I say? It was exceptional: fresh homemade pasta, a generous and generous portion, tons of porcini mushrooms nestled between the fettuccine, and perfectly creamed and cooked. The reasonable wait for the first course attests to the fact that everything is freshly prepared and totally worth it. We really didn't have any more room, so we finished with a liqueur and coffee. All for the fair and honest price of 150 euros. Guys, it takes about an hour and a half from Naples to get to La Canadese, so it's best to exit at Frosinone. Keep in mind that they make fresh pizza in a wood-fired oven, which must be excellent given the deliciousness of the focaccia, and they specialize in grilled meats and all kinds of side dishes. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it, especially if you want to eat with the land and mountains and love local, traditional cuisine. TOP place!

I've been eating pizza at "La Canadese" for almost two years, and in that time, I've NEVER been disappointed. Pizza made with passion and attention, and served by extremely kind and efficient staff. They also cater to celiacs and lactose intolerant customers. The environment is clean and well-kept, both inside and out (the latter area is only available during the summer months). Highly recommended!

We discovered this business by chance several years ago and continue to frequent it whenever we're in the area. Maurizio is a delightful, dedicated, and highly professional person, who, along with his staff, is always attentive to customer needs.

I have to say, I'm always happy to have an excuse to come for a "Group Pizza Party" with friends, classmates, or family. The food is delicious and the prices are fair. The service and the waiters are excellent and available for everything. Recommended if you want to enjoy a good pizza dinner as a couple or group before going out to the square, since it's very close by car or on foot (4 minutes by car, 15 minutes on foot).

Both the pizza and the meat were excellent, and the service was very friendly. It was a perfect evening.

Large place, summer, we ate outside. Very efficient, friendly, and helpful staff (thanks to Maurizio, who took our order, and to a waiter who didn't make us wait to bring our order). Delicious food, generous portions, and reasonable, fair prices. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended!

Very close to Fondi, very reasonable prices, good pizza and meat. An excellent reference point.

La Canadese is a guarantee of quality. Maurizio, his family, and the entire staff are top notch!

I had a delicious pizza. The staff was very kind. We'll be back to try the meat.

We booked a table of 23 people with adults and 7 children, the service and food were excellent, compliments to the super efficient guys and the pizza but also the pasta were delicious
