La Cortigiana Del Re In Somma vesuviana

A pleasant day surrounded by nature, friendliness, and simplicity We visited this restaurant for a day with friends, and overall, the experience was more than positive. We found the price-quality ratio to be fair: we chose the €25 menu per person for adults (€15 for children), excluding drinks. One peculiarity is that they leave all empty bottles on the table, which are then counted at the end of the meal and included in the final bill—so it's worth keeping this in mind. The staff is extremely friendly, especially the waitresses: helpful, polite, and always smiling. My sincere compliments to them. The location is charming and well-kept, surrounded by greenery, with many animals that make the experience more enjoyable, especially for those—like me—who love nature. The aquariums, turtles, and other animals in the garden are very beautiful. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see the parrots; the area was closed both times I went out looking for them, but I was told that at other times, someone was there to accompany customers. Never mind, maybe next time. The food is what you'd expect from a fixed-price menu: nothing exceptional, but more than enough to enjoy a quiet, unpretentious lunch. It's definitely not a place I'd recommend for a gourmet or sophisticated occasion, but it's perfect for spending time with friends in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Finally, a curious detail: to pay the bill, you have to wait in line and then enter an office. At the desk, you find yourself discussing the bill with someone I believe to be the owner, not at the traditional cash register, almost as if you were closing a formal deal! We simply paid the due amount, without asking for a discount, and the discussion of the amount consumed was clear and precise, a sign of the staff's honesty and attention. In short, I recommend it to anyone looking for a carefree day, in contact with nature and in good company, without spending too much.

The place is beautiful in every way, very clean and the staff are very kind.
