L'Elefantino In Morlupo

Not feeling like cooking in this summer heat, we decided to try this home-cooked restaurant near our house in Riano after reading the positive reviews, and I must say it didn't disappoint. We truly ate like we were at home: two seafood appetizers, two fried fish dishes, and one sliced ​​steak. Everything was very tasty (including mopping up the meat) and plentiful. We'll definitely be back to try the first courses. The friendly and unobtrusive owners even offered us complimentary liqueurs at fair prices. Thanks, see you soon!

Absolutely worth trying, both sea and mountain, the raw fish is a delight. Chef Claudio is a sure thing.

First of all, I had the pleasure of eating at the Elefantino during a very popular holiday. I found simple flavors and friendly service. It was a shame about the slow service, which I think was dictated by the aforementioned holiday. Recommended.

Very friendly hosts, excellent food. Highly recommended.

A wonderful discovery! Located inside the owners' private villa, the atmosphere is authentically homey, with excellent cuisine and meticulous attention to detail. The menu includes both meat and seafood. I had the pappardelle with white wild boar ragù, which was truly delicious, flavorful, and balanced. I also tried the fettuccine with mushrooms and the spaghetti with clams, both very good. There's a good selection of desserts accompanied by various types of bitters, perfect for a relaxing end to a lunch. In short: I'll definitely be back!

Business lunch with my colleague. First things first: we're from the Castelli Romani area, and I've rarely had such a good and well-executed wild boar pappardella. The meat falls apart just looking at it! Kudos to Claudio, who clearly puts all his knowledge and passion into what he does! We'll be back every time we're in the area!
