02/05/2026: I had the pleasure of dining at La Palazzina restaurant in Rieti, and it was a truly special experience.
The restaurant has a significant history, carried on by six generations of restaurant owners, and the passion is evident in every detail.
The owner, Giuseppe Amici, was very kind and took me on a tour of the restaurant, showing me photos and documents that tell the story of his family, including during World War II. This story makes the place even more interesting and adds significant value to the experience.
The welcome was wonderful: the waiters were polite, attentive, and always available. The restaurant is clean and welcoming, and I really enjoyed both the indoor dining room and the outdoor garden, where the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed.
The food is truly excellent: the cacio e pepe was delicious and perfectly balanced, and I loved the tortelli with ricotta, zucchini flowers, and anchovies—truly unique and flavorful. The bruschetta, with their signature olive oil, was also special. The mixed meats and the bruschetta with lard were also excellent: everything was prepared with great care.
Finally, the wine I tasted was truly nectar.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking good food, tradition, and a genuine welcome in a quaint city like Rieti. I thank Giuseppe, Oxana, and Leonardo for their wonderful welcome. I will definitely be back.
