03/08/2025: I knew Lorenzo Dei Medici, known as the Magnificent, for historical reminiscences. But this evening I had the pleasure of discovering the Magnifico in Teverola, a place you don't know how to define because upon entering you see so many things on the walls that seem like a jumble of random things. Then the owner's personality welcomes you and you realize that everything reflects his eclectic personality and every shape becomes a story. He smiles at you. He welcomes you as if you were an old friend. You wait but he offers you an aperitif, a little gift with courtesy and kindness. The food is varied and excellent. In short, it is an experience that leaves its mark. You enter a unique place and I, along with my daughter, thank from the bottom of my heart the person we immediately fell in love with, the owner. We will see each other again for a new experience.
30/06/2025: What can I say, the name Magnifico is perfect, you eat really well, for meat lovers and not only, it is the ideal place.
For the order we relied on Dino, the owner, a true gentleman, an exquisite, ironic person, with a unique sympathy, he recommended a mix that was nothing short of spectacular, a delight, not only for the palate but also for the eyes, for how it was presented. A cutting board full of vegetable side dishes and chips were the background, accompanied separately by a velvety ricotta and a delicious cheese sauce, enriched with a smoky note and honey. The meat, in the center, was sublime, appetizing, succulent, cooked to perfection, despite there being various and abundant different cuts selected. A real delicacy!
At the end of the dinner, you couldn't miss the tour inside the restaurant where you are catapulted into the past, a parallel world, that you know you have lived and that you find through myriads of souvenirs, a multitude of objects, not thrown there randomly but, carefully placed in order to recreate real cinematic scenes. 60s/70s/80s. Photos, writings, puppets of famous people, cartoons, vinyl records and much more, a real museum with the aim of evoking the atmosphere and spirit of those decades, not to be missed. In short, Il Magnifico is worth discovering, for the culinary art that it puts into its dishes and for the experience that will leave you with a beautiful memory and certainly amazed. 😊
