After a long period of waiting, it's finally back! The Caccia brigade in full force, in splendid form, full of enthusiasm and desire to welcome and delight us, has recently reopened the doors of the 'La Montanara' restaurant to us, with the firm intention of making us forget the absence caused by the complex renovation . But the wait was definitely worth it! Those who choose refreshment, before or after visiting the splendid Rocca di Calascio, will be lucky enough to be able to continue to admire the medieval village nestled in the barren and proud nature, through its immense windows which fully convey the hypnotic beauty of the landscape. The exquisite welcome of the owners, the relaxed and jovial atmosphere, thanks also to the legendary Mr Filippo who knows how to entertain with the affability and kindness of times gone by, the genuine and tasty food, respecting the cyclical nature of the seasons, make the stop an absolutely satisfying experience.
Highly recommended is the cold cuts and cheese platter, carefully selected from the regional delicacies, the saffron ravioli, the kebabs, the tarts and Mrs. Clotilde's amazing lemon cream.
Note of merit for the reception, not to be taken for granted, that Daniela and Luigi also know how to reserve for their four-legged friends.
N.b. Reservation is necessary.
I discovered this restaurant by pure chance, before going to visit Rocca Calascio. It was a very pleasant surprise.
The dishes of the day are offered, all prepared with the freshest and above all high quality products. I can say I enjoyed some genuine food. From bread, to cured meats, to cheeses, from wine to vegetables etc.... nothing is industrial. Flavors of the past. Low prices.
The welcome from the family who runs this place was really warm. Special thanks to Mr. Filippo for the very pleasant chat. It felt like talking to a family member. I absolutely recommend La Montanara to those who want to eat well, especially in a healthy way and to those who want to spend a pleasant moment before or after visiting this beautiful site.
Going to visit Rocca Calascio for lunch and not wanting to do it with sandwiches (in this period apart from the weekend you can only find this in the area) I found this little restaurant reopened after a long renovation last week. The car park is not very large in front but you can leave the car in the town where there are car parks and reach it on foot (5 minutes). The restaurant inside currently has few tables but when it gets warmer they have the possibility of tables outside. Very panoramic with a view of the town and the Rocca, the menu is not very extensive and I think it can vary daily and upon reservation I think you can also choose particular dishes (like kebabs). Family run but with great professionalism, I felt welcomed into their home, the fact of not having a large choice on the menu is part of their philosophy of catering with few dishes but done well with high quality raw materials, the value for money is excellent. I recommend it and if I return to Rocca Calascio I will definitely return to them. Well done, despite all the difficulties you had with the renovation, you are doing an excellent job
