Oliva e l'Ingegnere In Formia

Superlative. I'd like to go back to the review that inspired me to visit this place for the first time. This "Enobistrot" is certainly not a place where you end up by chance, where you end up "of course, let's grab something quick". Ninth, this is one of those few places where you go specifically to "enjoy" your palate, to have a real experience. One of those places that, quoting the review I was talking about before: "rises from the dullness of the usual food and wine predictability of a thousand menus all identical one hundred meters from the sea." cit. In short, exactly what I was looking for, and which unfortunately is found less and less; God bless those who still believe so much in what they do, especially in the catering sector. In all the courses I felt the soul of those who prepared them, authentic flavors, high-level raw materials and research and study in every single dish. The wine list is also excellent with a wide choice, where the restaurant's own cellar is also present (I chose the white, which accompanied the fish courses in a masterful way). The service has always been friendly, punctual and precise; I would only add one small thing, namely the description of the dishes: they really deserve a detailed description for the care with which they are prepared. The location is very quiet, with interiors that go with the rustic theme which I really appreciated. All this at a very honest price, a quality-price oriented more on quality than on price! Highly recommended, I will definitely return to try other Chef's delicacies! 😋

Great food, it's always a guarantee!

Delicious food and very kind owner

An unforgettable dinner. Taste and image: a perfect combination. To be redone.

Oliva e L'ingegnere rappresenta oramai una nostra tappa fissa estiva. Anche quest'anno siamo ritornati da loro e come sempre non ci hanno deluso. Il posto è intimo ed accogliente e propone pochi coperti. La cucina è eccellente ed innovativa, ogni anno troviamo un nuovo menù. Le portate sono equilibrate ed esaltano i sapori dei singoli ingredienti, il tutto con un'ottima carta dei vini. E' davvero difficile dire cosa ci è piaciuto di più della nostra cena, perché è stato tutto squisito a partire dagli antipasti per finire ai dolci. Il prezzo è giusto per l'elevata qualità che offrono. Ci ritorneremo presto come sempre!

Oliva e L'ingegnere is now a regular summer stop for us. This year too we returned to them and as always they did not disappoint us. The place is intimate and welcoming and offers few seats. The cuisine is excellent and innovative, every year we find a new menu. The courses are balanced and enhance the flavors of the individual ingredients, all with an excellent wine list. It's really difficult to say what we liked most about our dinner, because everything was delicious, starting from the appetizers and ending with the desserts. The price is right for the high quality they offer. We will be back soon as always!
