Materiaprima Osteria Contemporanea In Pontinia

Dinner at Agro. The appetizers were very good, but the main courses were poor. We ordered the rabbit, which still had its head with the teeth attached, and was undercooked. Then there were the meatballs, which we left half empty; they had a strong garlic and spice smell, and were also undercooked. The beef oxtail was nothing special. Reasonable prices.

Relaxing atmosphere, friendly and empathetic service and staff, high-quality food and Michelin-starred tastings. Compliments to the chef and team.

A delicious three-course tasting menu, with other interludes from the chef. Little to say about the taste and service; the wine cellar was small but of high quality. Many dishes offered a refreshing experience, despite the local flavors seemingly suggesting a more substantial cuisine. My only personal criticism concerns some dishes, specifically their form (content); for some courses, I found they didn't enhance the aesthetics of the content, as in the case of the main dish, Claudio, served on a plate that excessively obscured the dish, or the dessert served on a tray that made it difficult to pick up the dessert once it had melted.

A splendid restaurant in the heart of the Pontine Marshes. Experimental and elaborate dishes. Recommended for years in the Michelin Guide and awarded a star. The full-service kitchen immerses you in the preparation and presentation of the dishes. Very reasonable prices for what they offer, impeccable and extremely friendly service. The tasting menus are a must-try. The wine cellar offers a vast selection.

The tasting menu is definitely worth trying, but the Sunday brunch we tried was also a unique and top-quality experience. There's a wide selection, everything well thought out and executed. One note: the first courses are served at your table and were fantastic. The location is elegant and well-maintained, of course.

I had lunch at Materia Prima and the visual impact was remarkable: each dish was presented with the highest level of technique and aesthetics. The quality of the ingredients is unquestionable, but the tasting menu didn't fully convince me in its narrative. I found the menu excessively "jagged": the transitions between the beef tartare, the scampi, the spaghetti with creamed beans and mussels, and the final pork dish were very distinct leaps in flavor. I didn't perceive any overall harmony in the menu: the dishes seemed like separate, unrelated episodes rather than a flowing narrative. While this is a completely subjective opinion based on my personal taste, I still appreciated the great technical research and the beauty of the dishes.

Excellent dinner, the itinerary was in line with expectations, the staff was exceptional... I will definitely be back

As always, the food is excellent! From A to Z! The wine pairing was perfect! The desserts are breathtaking. Many thanks to all the staff.

Vegan cheese should be tasted by a shepherd 😜 Great dinner, staff and wine pairing 👌

Exceptional. The atmosphere was reminiscent of a Michelin-starred restaurant. We dined for two, choosing the 8-course tasting menu, and it was a wonderful experience featuring the raw ingredients the land offers us. We left ecstatic thanks to the exquisiteness of each dish. Dinner flew by in the blink of an eye. Each course was unique and surprising. The ambiance and staff made us feel like we were dining at a high-quality home-cooked meal. I recommend it, and see you soon 🫶🏼
