Oliva e l'Ingegnere In Formia

17/08/2025: Very nice and well-kept place. The dishes were plentiful and, above all, delicious!! My girlfriend and I were on a trip to the area and couldn't have chosen better.

12/08/2025: A place that is not very visible, close to the climb to Castelforte, an excellent location on the road, but it would need a sign that gives it more visibility from both points of origin. The flaw is that it does not have good parking. The place is very characteristic, all in bare stone and well structured, with the right capacity for well-managed management. In fact, one detail that I immediately noticed is that they have perfect timing. From the moment the customer is seated, there is a perfect sequence of times between the waiter who serves the menus and asks if he can serve water, a perfect order taken with full clarification of the dishes and a final summary to synchronize their arrival. As already mentioned, perfect timing both in terms of the time from the order and the interval of times between the dishes, I would say a Swiss clock. Congratulations to everyone. Excellent service, accompanied by friendliness and kindness as well as impeccable professionalism. Excellent appetizers of typical local products accompanied by many local delicacies prepared in a delicious way. I tasted two first courses that were nothing short of delicious, and one that was as rich as it was. The seasoning was not heavy at all, a perfect balance that didn't disturb at all. The meats were prepared on a grill that you're delighted just by looking at it and intoxicating yourself with the aroma it emanates. Excellent meats for all tastes, high-quality, prepared to perfection according to the customer's cooking preferences. Various side dishes of seasonal products were served, rightly so and very well prepared. A good selection of wines, not very extensive but perhaps due to space, should be enriched by adding something more special in my opinion. Delicious desserts, both homemade and external, from well-known Sorrento patisseries. Let's say a triumph of sweetness to be savored in rotation. (I would avoid spray cream as a decoration on the plate. If you really want to add it, I recommend preparing it fresh or varying with something else, such as berry juice, black cherries in juice, and more. However, spray cream is reductive when placed next to a good dessert.) The Cherry and Genziana were excellent. Congratulations to everyone, an excellent venue, excellent service, a quality that dominates everything, and a feeling of serenity while sitting down for a very comfortable dinner.
