La Casetta di Irene In Grottaferrata

Welcoming place, excellent food, reasonable prices, the only thing I was disappointed with was that I was charged for two bruschetta (really excellent by the way) even though the waiter had brought them to my table on his own initiative, offering them to welcome me. I was only disappointed about the appearance, but appearance often weighs more than money, considering I only paid one euro each. In any case, I will be back, and with a bunch of friends 👌👌👌👍👍👍 p.s. It's family-run and you eat with plastic plates and cups... only the cutlery is steel. Tables and benches surrounded by greenery and four-legged friends accompanying the splendid view 🐱🐰

If you have children it's ideal, unfortunately sometimes it falls into the banal like the bathroom 😭, food is average, however I would go back for the green space and I would rent the barbecue

Nice place, good wine and cuisine. The bruschetta and pork are very tasty. Prepared very well.

La Casetta di Irene is a picnic area located above Grottaferrata, where you can book a table and choose whether to enjoy a fixed menu or order on the spot. Alternatively, you can simply pay for the table and bring food from home. I went there for the first time on May Day and, from my point of view, it is a welcoming place: the tables are well spaced from each other, ensuring a certain amount of privacy, and are covered, so as to protect yourself from the sun during the meal. The area is surrounded by greenery, with trees and open spaces where families, children and teenagers can have fun freely, even with some noise or flying balls — so, if you are not very tolerant to noise, perhaps it is not the ideal place for you. But, after all, it is normal in places of this type. There is a parking lot, not very large, but suitable for both motorcycles and cars; if it is full, you can leave your vehicle along Via Tuscolana. Accessibility is also good for people with disabilities, who can move around the tables without too many problems. There is only one bathroom, unisex: perhaps it would be useful to improve this service. In conclusion, my experience was positive. It is not an "unmissable" place, but I would definitely go back there willingly... the menu had a range from €24/29 for those who had strawberries with cream, wine donuts and coffee.
