Moliendo In Moliterno

I dined in passing without a reservation and they were very helpful in finding me a table. We were a group of seven and all the dishes we ordered were satisfying. A special mention goes to the first courses, which were truly excellent and deserve a full thumbs up.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. I really enjoyed the risotto, and the waitress's wine recommendation was excellent.

Congratulations...excellent cuisine and pleasant atmosphere

It's always a pleasure to stop by for breakfast or lunch. Friendly staff and excellent products.

Beautiful place, generous portions, quality food and a beautiful room!!

Nice atmosphere, excellent meals, very kind owners and staff

Excellent food and generous portions. A must-visit in Moliterno, home of an exceptional sheep's cheese canestrato. The service is attentive but sparse.

Everything was delicious, excellent prices

We entered Moliendo Café at a busy time. A waitress was very helpful in finding a place for us, showing attention and kindness. However, another member of staff approached us in a brusque and unwelcoming manner, bluntly asserting that there would be no room. This approach, in a tourist-oriented village, risks compromising the overall experience. From a gastronomic standpoint, the poached egg with pecorino fondue proved to be a balanced dish: the egg was cooked just right (a runny yolk and a firm white, a sign of proper temperature management), while the fondue was well-emulsified, creamy, and with just the right balance of flavor and fat. It paired excellently with a local pecorino, showcasing the region. The square spaghetti with pecorino fondue, pancetta, and mushrooms had a different opinion. The layering of fatty ingredients (fondue, pancetta, and pasta sauce) created a visually rich dish, but one that was unbalanced in terms of flavor and digestion. The lack of acidic, bitter, or aromatic elements to counteract the lipid component made the dish cloying and heavy, with a severe gastric heaviness that persisted well into the evening. I recommend considering reducing the amount of fondue, using a semi-mature pecorino cheese or one sweetened with a neutral dairy ingredient (e.g., sour cream or strained yogurt), and introducing a refreshing ingredient, such as a crunchy vegetable (e.g., puntarelle, fennel) or a fresh, aromatic note (lemon zest, lemon thyme), to improve the flavor balance and overall digestibility of the dish.

The restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The dinner, delicious and delicious, featured cod and Moliterno pecorino cheese. We'll be back again to try other dishes. Highly recommended!!
