La Quercia In Montenero sabino

Rustic, homey restaurant...there were 4 of us for lunch and it was all delicious and homemade...we'll be back!

I came here more than ten years ago. The portions were generous, the food was authentic, and it was reasonably priced. Today, compared to then, the first courses have been significantly reduced, but the second courses and side dishes are even more so, and not even as high-quality as one would expect in a place like this. Even the prices are now the same as any other restaurant in the city. Disappointed, but I had already been warned by locals that things had changed.

We went here for Christmas lunch. The quality was excellent, and they're super-equipped for gluten-free options. I'll definitely be back. Everything was perfect, despite the restaurant being packed! Kindness and professionalism

Beautiful place and the food is amazing. The staff is top notch.

We stopped here on our way back to Rome from Rieti, attracted by the excellent reviews. To get there, you have to take a narrow road through the woods, but then you arrive at this restaurant, which from the outside reveals itself to be a spectacle with a breathtaking view. Unfortunately, the rest of the food is average; good but not your typical home-style country restaurant. The interior is well-decorated. I would remove the cart with dirty food in the middle of the room, especially if it wasn't packed. The seats near the bar-style refrigerators (where they obviously put us) are very noisy. When we entered, there was only one table, and the person who welcomed us wasn't thrilled with our arrival (1:40 p.m.), warning us that the kitchen was about to close when we sat down. We started with an appetizer of cured meats and cheeses, very generous but honestly mediocre, but he also brought out some very tasty homemade fried pizza balls. Then we had the first course. The pasta was good, but the sauce wasn't very tasty. I think the pasta with porcini mushrooms was made with frozen ingredients, so I wouldn't order it again. The second course, however, was truly exceptional. I tried the arrosticini, which surprised me with their quality and raised the overall average. The house wine in bulk wasn't good; perhaps it had aired out too much or was stored poorly. I wouldn't recommend it. Prices were average. Maybe we made a mistake; they're not suited to weekdays; they're at their best on weekends. I'd like to come back to try again.
