When we want to spend a lovely evening at a restaurant, L'Antica Grotta in Marino is the first name that comes to mind.
For over 30 years, Natale and his family have welcomed us with warmth and friendliness, in a traditional setting in the winter (thanks to a fireplace) and a welcoming atmosphere in the summer on their characteristic terrace.
In the kitchen, everything is well organized, and the service is prompt: the staff is made up of experienced men and women and enthusiastic young people.
The first courses are always plentiful and tasty; I particularly love the excellent stringozzi with chanterelle mushrooms and datterini tomatoes. Among the second courses, a special mention goes to the balsamic vinegar steaks and the grilled lamb. If you're craving a light and easily digestible pizza, you can choose from the many options.
At the end, even if you're full, read the dessert menu—the coup de grace you can't pass up.
The evening ends with a fair bill for the excellent quality of the food.
P.S. Parking is not a problem either, as you can leave your car in the underground car park near the venue.

A good trattoria typical of the Roman castles, honest food, authentic flavours, homemade pasta practically visible, as well as meat cooked on the grill inside the room, a cellar with a barrel ceiling, there is also a terrace on which to have lunch on nice days.
Prices normal

Good location, excellent wine, optimal quality meat, 5 times I come to taste the true flavor of typical Roman cuisine,
I have returned after almost 8 months with a copy of Italian friends to whom I have spoken well of the restaurant, this time the only thing that has changed is the abundance of the dishes from the beginning (antipasto); then the cousin and the meat, it was not like before that you left satisfied, this time the four of us left hungry even though we abbiamo spesso 180 euro, they have reduced the portion of the cibo, my spiace was just a personal impression, my friends italian and noi siamo andati via affamati.

Excellent place, I've been back several times.
I ate starters, first and second courses and everything was of good quality. in particular the first courses, always homemade, deserve praise. family management and "warm" environment
