We went to this restaurant for lunch, also attracted by the cellar since we have a healthy passion for the nectar of Bacchus. The place is really exciting, you find yourself inside an ancient cave dug into the tuff where mammoths lived millions of years ago, intact inside you can appreciate an artefact. The catering is excellent, the appetizers (cutting board and carpaccio), the potato gnocchi (the real ones!!) and the trimmings sauce well present on the plate. The second courses are really good, chicken stuffed with all sorts of goodies and cheek in Cesanese reduction on pumpkin (it's autumn). Dessert? That too was good, Cesanese grape sorbet at the end of the sumptuous lunch. The suggested wines lived up to expectations.
Truly recommended place and where I will return very soon.
Anyone who doesn't go to the Osteria dell'Elephant is a teetotaler!

Located inside a charming winery, this restaurant offers a unique atmosphere, immersed in a cave with the characteristic smell of the cellar and a good dose of humidity.
The menu has few but captivating dishes. The tripe and the cacio e ova balls deserve an honorable mention for their flavor with particular attention to the lemon zest used in the balls which softens the flavor of the cheese and leaves the mouth clean. The home-produced wine goes perfectly with the dishes, offering a good balance.
The cutting board is discreet, the very well made flan stands out in its composition, but it still does not leave an indelible mark. The gnocchi are well seasoned, but their texture did not fully meet my expectations. The fettuccine is very good, as is the spaghettone. The pork fillet, cooked at low temperature, is tender, although I would have liked a stronger flavor to enhance the dish.
In conclusion, it is a place that deserves to be visited for its unique atmosphere and well-made dishes. The service is good and the price is also in line with the perceived quality.
Without a doubt a good address to go to if you are in the area.

Dopo qualche tempo sono tornato all'Osteria dell'Elefante al Castello di Torre in Pietra. Ho preso una trippa alla romana (ottima, tra le migliori) e la lingua di vitello con patate schiacciate allo zafferano
e chutney alle pesche: piatto che dire eccezionale è poco. Per me vale tre stelle Michelin! Ovazioni per lo Chef Antonio Cruccas

Siamo a stati a cena in questo ristorante a pochi km da Roma. La location è bella, caratteristica, accogliente. C’è il parcheggio che non è cosa da sottovalutare.
Accoglienza calda e cordiale…personale disponibile.
Cibo… buono, eseguito in maniera adeguata, cucina romana.
Lo scivolone principale è stato il pane, presentato in un sacchetto di carta che faceva ben sperare in un buon prodotto invece arriva qualcosa di immangiabile… gomma e senza sapore, un vero peccato.
Per il resto un’offerta di vini adeguata considerando che è una cantina… qualche alternativa in più non guasterebbe.
Qualche piccola attenzione in più potrebbe fare la differenza… merita comunque una seconda possibilità.
