La torretta In Capralba

22/06/2026: I'm posting this review with some regret. I'm a longtime fan of this place; I used to go there with the old owners, and it was fabulous, a typical local trattoria with exceptional food. I returned a while ago when there was a handover, so the new owners were there, and the old ones taught them the secrets of the trade. I returned a year later for lunch and couldn't find my feet anymore. The menu is the kind you find for a quick bite, pre-cooked pasta, and an unacceptable boiled meat dish. I'd like to understand what happened; I hope it was just a bad day. I'd like to suggest the guys maintain the quality that seems to have been lost. You're in a fabulous area with an enviable gastronomic history; you've learned from the best. Please don't get lost on Strada. If the prices have gone up, asking a few euros more to maintain high quality will surely be understood by those who love to eat well. As soon as I pass by again, I'll give you another chance, but no more pre-cooked pasta and boiled meat dishes that had nothing of the traditional.

06/06/2026: A classic country trattoria, which once served excellent, simple but traditional food, today I was unfortunately a bit disappointed. The food quality was acceptable: an appetizer of four slices of salami and cheese cubes, a Malvasia risotto for the main course, neither excellent nor lacking in praise, and a zuppa inglese (trifle) to finish, which was delicious but unfortunately not presented in the best possible way. Very slow service, almost two hours for this solitary meal, and a fairly hefty bill, which significantly lowers the quality/price ratio. The atmosphere was quite clean.
