Osteria La Mentana In Mercato saraceno

Beautiful and delicious dishes, if you have the chance try the spaghetti with sea urchins and the suckling pig with potatoes and apples, divine. The service was very good, attentive staff, only the wait between the second course and the dessert was too long so much so that I had to give up. Highly recommended.

A magical place located in the center of the Saracen market. Enchanted, magical, well-kept. The owner is a very kind person and a great host. Everything always impeccable.

Nice location with large spaces between the tables. Fairly limited menu with some off-menu proposals via direct indication from the staff responsible for taking orders. May I suggest lighting the tables a little more.

Beautiful venue with great service. Excellent value for money. Advised.

Locale curato sia dentro che fuori, con tavolini vista fiume. Servizio attento e disponibile, menù davvero eccezionale: dagli antipasti, ai primi, ai secondi e dolci! Ottima anche la carta dei vini. Prezzi in linea con la qualità dei prodotti offerta!

La location all’aperto è veramente molto bella e accogliente. Staff gentile ma un po’ disorganizzato nei fondamentali della gestione della sala e del servizio. Pietanze gradevoli. Conto in linea con il menù. Nel complesso ritornerei aspettandomi un po’ più di attenzione ai dettagli.

Very bad service and nothing special when it comes to food (although not bad to be honest). Also not kids friendly. And only Italian speaking. The scene is very nice and the sound of running water from the river next to the tables creating an enjoyable atmosphere. We ordered pasta for the toddlers and they did not think to bring kids' food together with our prima. When we tried to ask for it (after prima had arrived and toddlers started asking for their food), we got some rush reply in Italian, without ever getting what their plan was. When we asked for small forks for the kids, the first response was (sth like) "I'm too busy now to talk to me" and after insisting the response was negative "no smaller fork" for a 3-year old to be able to eat. Asking the waiter to take us a group photo, hahaha, the exact response was "maybe later, I'm busy now". We had one Italian-speaking in a group of 6 people, the waiter never bothered to speak anything else but continuous lengthy Italian to all of us, despite our questioning faces, just no bother. Nice live band, but too loud for no reason (why adding all that loud speakers on such a small space, where you could instead just have quality accustic live music?). All in all not good experience

We went for dinner at the weekend on the recommendation of friends. The service is excellent, the staff friendly and welcoming, the suggestive location and the food really good. I advise!

Lovely place with a view of the Savio...romantic and welcoming. It also satisfies the palate

Mentana is a guarantee of quality and excellence for the territory, where tradition blends with contaminations for very interesting dishes.
