La Pineta dei Liberti Restaurant In Ardea

26/03/2024: I had the pleasure of having lunch at what I consider to be one of the best restaurants in the area for those looking for an authentic Roman culinary experience. The starter offering was surprisingly rich and varied, with dishes ranging from traditional pasta with lentils, to a selection of quality cold cuts and cheeses, beans with pork rinds, liver sausages, and pizza with mortadella. The list of appetizers also included stew with potatoes and tripe with sauce, confirming the richness of the Roman culinary tradition represented on the menu. The cuisine did not disappoint even when it came to the first courses, served with homemade pasta: the first with a robust ragù and the second, a combination of speck, cheese and broccoli. Despite my personal aversion to broccoli, which was the only flaw in the dining experience, the high quality and taste of the other dishes more than made up for this small disappointment. The meal ended on a high with a mixed grill that included sausages, chops and potatoes, followed by grappa and limoncello, coffee and traditional wine donuts. The portions were generous, ensuring an experience that was both tasty and filling at a very fair price. In summary, this restaurant represents a must-see for anyone looking for an authentically Roman culinary experience outside the eternal city. Despite my personal disappointment with one ingredient, the high quality of the dishes, the abundance of the portions, make this place a must for lovers of good food visiting the region.
