La Terra d'Ercole In Ercolano

18/05/2025: A pleasant day among nature, cordiality and simplicity We went to this restaurant to spend a day in the company of friends and, overall, the experience was more than positive. The quality-price ratio seemed right to us: we chose the menu for 25 euros per person for adults (15 euros for children), with drinks not included. A peculiarity is that they leave all the empty bottles on the table, to then count them at the end of the meal and include them in the final bill - so it is useful to keep this in mind. The staff is extremely kind, especially the waitresses: helpful, polite and always smiling. Sincere compliments to them. The location is nice and well-kept, surrounded by greenery, with many animals that make the experience more pleasant, especially for those - like me - who love nature. The aquariums, turtles and other animals in the garden are very beautiful. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the parrots, the area was closed on both occasions I went out to look for them, but I was told that at other times there was someone to accompany the customers. Never mind, it will be for next time. The food reflects what you can expect from a fixed-price menu: nothing exceptional, but more than enough to enjoy a quiet lunch without too many pretensions. It's definitely not a place I would recommend for a gourmet or refined occasion, but perfect for spending time in company in an informal and relaxed environment. Finally, a curious detail: to pay the bill you have to queue and then enter an office, and at the desk you find yourself discussing the bill with who I believe is the owner, so not at the classic cash register, almost as if you were about to close a ceremonial deal! We simply paid what was due, without asking for discounts, and the comparison of how much we consumed was clear and precise, a sign of correctness and attention on the part of the staff. In short, I recommend it to those looking for a carefree day, in contact with nature and in good company, without spending too much.
