07/08/2026: Santa Carne, Velletri 🥩
Went in hungry, left in a meat coma — worth every cent of the €32,90.
Format is genius honestly: green card up means keep it coming, red means stop, and that's it. No awkward flagging down waiters, no menu decisions, just a steady stream of meat hitting your table. Terrace is gorgeous too — old stone walls, ivy everywhere, that warm night-in-Lazio kind of atmosphere.
They ease you in with cold cuts, cheese, potato wedges, a crispy croquette, and this ragù pasta that honestly could've been a meal on its own — good move to slow people down before the meat train starts.
Then it's go time. Coffee and mustard crusted chicken was the surprise of the night, didn't expect that combo to work but it did. Picanha, black Angus, ribeye — all sliced right at the table off the hot plate, and the doneness was actually consistent every single round, which for a place doing this much volume is not easy to pull off. Real marbling on the ribeye too, none of that watery supermarket stuff.
Little things stood out — their own branded olive oil on the table instead of some random bottle, and a wine list that was way better than I expected for an all-you-can-eat spot.
As a chef, what got me was the consistency. Anyone can throw meat on a grill, but keeping quality and timing dialed in across that many tables, that many rounds — that's kitchen discipline. Coming back for sure, and dragging the crew next time.
01/07/2026: The place is very nice, the service is attentive and friendly.
The starter buffet has everything from cured meats to porchetta, along with tasty first courses; the focaccia is very good.
It's not the classic all-you-can-eat concept—they choose and bring it to the table—but the meat is very good, and the olive oil from the Salimei mill gives it an even more unique flavor...
It's definitely a place worth visiting, I liked it.
The only downside was that I couldn't order the Sangria because there was no bartender, but I'll be back and try it.
