OSTERIA FRASCHETTA TRINCA In Frascati

We went to this fraschetta for lunch on December 25th, attracted by the excellent reviews. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed. I'd still be curious to try again, as there are definitely some positives. Parking isn't much because there are at least two restaurants there. You have to enter a closed-off street; it's better to walk (as we did) on busy days than to turn back and look elsewhere. The place is definitely worth a visit, especially if you eat in the characteristic, well-decorated, and clean cave area. The staff is friendly, but the lack of a menu and therefore the unknown prices are a major downside. I especially wonder, "Is that even possible these days?" Unfortunately, the limited selection (yes, I know it's a fraschetta, but the prices are restaurant-like!! So...?) doesn't help if you're going with children. We asked for bruschetta for the kids, but they told us they don't make it. Then they asked for simple pasta for them, but they don't cook, and that's fine, I'm fine with that; we're very understanding. The worst thing, then, isn't that the kids weren't satisfied, but that even though we asked for a portion of appetizers (specifying ONE more than once given the situation) to find something for the little ones to eat and then reorder to taste or try something else, they still brought us and charged us 2. That's just not how it's done, I'm very disappointed. Otherwise, the lasagna was excellent, the house wine was good, coming from large plastic bottles, and the appetizer was average/good, nothing special. The porchetta was tasty, but not exceptional (the one from Viterbo is better and crispier, in my opinion). In the end, the kids only ate bread, or almost (they basically bought something from outside), and we, obviously, weren't able to eat it all. I'd like to go back and pay more attention to my bill, without the kids and double the appetizers so I can try something else.

Really good... Fresh cured meats and cheeses An alternative to the usual restaurants I recommend it I liked it

Amazing food and atmosphere!! Very friendly owners! Porchetta is a must!!! Highly recommended! Thank you and until next time!

What can I say? We often go to this characteristic tavern. The food is excellent, the traditional cured meats are all excellent, the service is courteous and the quality/price ratio is excellent. We celebrated New Year's Eve together, which was handled as usual with the 💖🥂

We just left this wonderful fraschetta. We had a wonderful meal and were greeted warmly. I recommend it to anyone who wants to taste typical local products.

Impeccable service, fantastic venue and amazing food, that's all we can say.

"A great find! Delicious traditional cuisine, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a no-frills, yet substantial dinner. Highly recommended!"

First experience at a typical fraschetta. Location 🔝 Excellent service, fast, friendly, and super efficient. The food exceeded all expectations, everything delicious and high-quality. Highly recommended!!! Wonderful experience, I would definitely return.

Top assortment of cured meats and cheeses, porchetta!! Vegetables in oil, parmesan, chicory, and desserts, all very good!!

They offer a set menu — you simply sit back and enjoy whatever they bring out. The cheeses were outstanding, with several types of prosciutto, and the smoked or pickled vegetables were some of the best I’ve had. The ricotta with honey and chili pepper was my personal favorite. Service was excellent, and the decor was very appealing.
