Osteria Pietrino e Renata In Genzano di roma

Kind and welcoming owner, excellent food!

Welcoming place, very friendly staff, exceptional Roman cuisine and grilled meats. An experience worth repeating.

I visited La Vecchia Cantina, on the outskirts of Genzano, in a quiet area where you can still breathe the authentic atmosphere of the Castelli Romani, far from the chaos but easy to reach. As soon as I entered, I immediately felt a sense of warmth: a rustic atmosphere, wooden beams, and walls that tell a story of wine and tradition. This isn't a place built to impress with special effects, but to make you feel at home. And that means a lot to me. I chose to start with typical appetizers: fresh, flavorful cured meats, accompanied by fragrant bread that smelled like a real oven. Then I moved on to a traditional Roman first course: perfectly cooked pasta, generously seasoned yet balanced. You could tell the cuisine is rooted in the local area, without unnecessary modern interpretations. The meat was the real surprise: tender, juicy, and carefully cooked. Even the house wine, served at just the right temperature, perfectly complemented the meal, reminding us that we are in a land where wine is culture before it is a drink. I found the service friendly and direct, without excessive formality but with genuine attention to the customer. The timing was just right, without rushing but also without endless waits. The value for money, for what I ate, was absolutely fair. Generous portions and consistent quality. If I had to find a small criticism, perhaps the ambiance could use a little updating in some details, but at the same time, that slightly "lived-in" feel is part of its character. Would I return? Yes, especially when I'm craving authentic Roman cuisine, solid dishes, and a simple, familiar, authentic atmosphere. A place that doesn't need to shout to be remembered.

Comfortable place, friendly and very welcoming staff. Very tasty traditional Roman cuisine. A very positive experience, thank you so much!

We had a great time in every way. Thank you.

I've been there several times, and the friends I've recommended it to do the same for their friends. What can I say? Go there, you won't regret it.

A pleasant restaurant in Genzano. Delicious grilled meat and a good value.

Everything was delicious and the service was impeccable!!

Good food, especially the grilled ones. The staff is young, attentive, and helpful. Great for karaoke enthusiasts.

We went with TheFork, the fettuccine with ragù was good, the appetizer was a bit poor for the price.!! But it amazes me that we paid for the service plus bread, 4 mini slices, €3 each, that is, €6 service for 2. Then you get a €6 discount on the total excluding water. Three euros for a cover charge in an osteria is absurd, especially since I had to look for a waiter to clear away the dirty plates... and no one came for the second course and we left hungry. I don't think I'll go back, also because TheFork is a rip-off. I paid the discount with the cover charge 😡
