Osteria Il Granaro In Magliano romano

A simple, welcoming, and family-friendly restaurant, one of those increasingly hard-to-find restaurants for its many advantages: traditional yet updated cuisine. 2. The cooking skills are old-fashioned, reminiscent of grandma's cooking—a grandma who knows how to cook very well, though. 3. The excellent selection of products, both in the kitchen and in the beverages. For example, the house wine is much better than the basic bottled wine at many restaurants. The only downside? They're closed on Sunday evenings, sarcastically speaking, because they do it right; when you're doing so well, family-run, it's only right to rest when you want. I recommend it to anyone within a 50km radius.

I stopped by here on a day trip. Reading the reviews, I had very high expectations, but they were a bit disappointed, both regarding the price and the quality-price ratio. I want to emphasize that for now the rating is positive, but I want to return to try other dishes and discover more flavors and maybe add a star. We started with an appetizer for two, good and plentiful, but unfortunately not with the typical flavors found in the village, far from the cold cuts and cheeses of the city and/or the supermarket. The first course was a typical dish of the restaurant: Strengozzata with a good sauce but not very tasty given the ingredients, it seemed more like a simple pasta with sauce cooked quickly. For the second course, we had the stew, cooked well and soft, but then the sauce (carrot-based, I think) covered the flavor a bit, like a sweet oi, unexpected. The side dish was bad, bad, we chose the chicory, obviously I was hoping it would be fresh that day or almost, given how far we came to eat here, instead it was like the frozen one, highly not recommended. Nothing to say about the friendly and helpful staff and owner. The place is well-furnished, clean, and characteristic, with a very nice cellar and a good selection of wines. In the end, the bill without alcohol (for: 1 appetizer, 1 first course, 1 second course, 1 side dish) is around €50. Definitely too much, considering we're not exactly in the center of Rome, and this should be considered.

Family-run. Clean and well-kept. The menu offers unique and tasty dishes. Excellent desserts. Reservations are recommended for weekends. A must-try experience. Recommended.

The four of us ate a mixed platter: 2 exceptional shanks (order when you reserve your table), 2 tagliata, 1 mushroom, and a simple one—really tasty and cooked to perfection. The owner is exceptional, knows how to advise and is always attentive to customer requests, especially when it comes to wine recommendations (the cellar is well-stocked). 5/5 for everything, especially the simplicity of the place.
