L'Osteria di Ianus In Antrodoco

Once you try it, you'll never leave! I visited this wonderful restaurant for the first time in January, then repeated the experience on Easter Monday and August 15th, and a week after my last visit I decided to leave a review. The reason is easy to explain: by doing so, I was also able to confirm that the quality of service has always been very high, not diminishing at all over time. Osteria di Ianus is the perfect combination of tradition and innovation, of refined, high-quality ingredients with quantity. The restaurant is not overly large and very welcoming, decorated in such a way as to convey the atmosphere of an old-fashioned tavern and the typical alley of a small village. The staff, chefs, and waiters are extremely kind and professional. The prices are absolutely reasonable for the service offered, especially considering the authenticity of the products used. For this year's Ferragosto experience (August 15, 2023), I'd almost let the photos speak for themselves; the thing that struck me most (without taking anything away from the rest, it's all about personal taste) were the ravioli with mortadella, burrata, and pistachio sauce... exceptional! The watermelon and lemon compote the waiter recommended was also a wonderful discovery; it was a combination of flavors I wasn't familiar with, but one that I've been happy to try at home ever since. In conclusion, would I recommend this place? Absolutely!

A small restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Located in the center of town, where you can breathe in the mountain air. Excellent traditional dishes, such as Antrodoco ragù and cod with local chestnuts. The house red wine is excellent, and the appetizers are excellent. Some of the other entrees we ordered were a bit too rich, but they were very kind in addressing this small inconvenience.

Everything was wonderful! The food, the staff, the atmosphere, the decor—everything was very well thought out. Highly recommended

This osteria is excellent. The food is good, from appetizer to dessert. Everything is delicious, even the wine by the glass is excellent. It's a quiet place, the staff are friendly and professional, and the prices are reasonable. There were two of us. From appetizer to dessert (only one dessert), we paid €65.

In my opinion, dining in small towns—that is, outside of big cities, where there's an air of authenticity—the portions should be more generous, perhaps even charging a little more. But that's just my personal opinion; otherwise, everything was excellent.

A very cute and quaint place with various rooms carved into the stone, very friendly service. We ate well and had a lovely evening :) Traditional dishes with a modern twist, and we didn't spend much for what we ate. We'll definitely be back!

A real surprise in Antrodoco. A small restaurant with limited seating but high-quality dishes. We've been here several times and have only had repeat visits. Good first courses and adequate portions. The gricia and amatriciana pasta dishes are delicious. Interesting and tasty appetizers: the grilled caciocavallo you see in the photo is highly recommended. Good selection of Lazio wines. Kudos also to the staff for their attentive service, helpfulness, and courtesy. Absolutely fair prices.

We stumbled upon this splendid restaurant almost by chance, walking through the alleys of Antrodoco. Everything, starting with the ambience, is meticulously designed. Hospitality and quality are top-notch.

First time at Ianus and we were satisfied. Simple but well executed dishes, excellent quantity of products used. We will keep in mind for another occasion in Antrodoco.

For those who appreciate quality and not quantity. Highly recommended
