La Cucina della Torre - da Puparuolo In Bacoli

Beautiful location but difficult to find if you're unfamiliar with it. The restaurant has a lovely veranda with large windows that flood it with light. I think there's outdoor seating in the summer because of the large garden. There's not much to choose from because the restaurant relies on seasonal produce, so it's best to ask about the daily specials. The cold and hot appetizers are plentiful and varied. The Genovese steak was truly excellent, and we split it just to taste it. We chose meat for our main course and weren't disappointed. The Chiarina was tender and the Danish was tasty. Wide selection of wines. Excellent service, with a reasonable wait between courses. The price paid reflects the value of the meal. Very good.

It pains me to write this review because this place was special to me. Before its renovation (having been there several times), the food was top-notch with a wide selection of all dishes. Unfortunately, today, despite my attempts to explain my opinion on the overall "change" of the place at the end of the meal, the owner has taken a somewhat stern approach (it must have been due to the amount of work and a particular Sunday). Specifically, I can say that nowadays you eat less and spend more (my experience), and in any case, we are talking about a Sunday restaurant with basic products and especially meat-based dishes. I don't want to talk about the prices, but based on the bill, the culinary offerings should be reviewed again. However, the most important thing for me was the change in mood of the place. Before, the customer was "pampered" and the service was attentive and impeccable (obviously, on a bad Sunday, things can happen), but I felt that that magic was no longer there, in my opinion.

Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, friendly service!

I had a great time, both with the atmosphere and the food. The preparations are excellent; you can tell they use top-quality ingredients, cooked just as well.
