Everything was a masterpiece.
The road to get there is certainly not easy for those who are used to the city but we assure you that it will be worth it!
We arrived at Le Mandrie as part of our little honeymoon thanks to a gift box. I had seen this place briefly and luckily I went back to have a look.
The place is fabulous, a REAL agriturismo, where you can:
- eat local products but above all all homemade, exquisite like we have never tasted
- sleep in a bedroom that smells of history, sober and elegant in its rural being
- wake up with the blackbirds singing their joy in the park immediately behind your window, a protected park rich in fauna and flora (in the evening we saw a roe deer on the main road!).
Everything is truly genuine, simple, personally if I could I would have lived here willingly, even worked here: Rino's enthusiasm truly welcomed us, enveloped us and enchanted us. He knows what he's doing and he does it well, it didn't take him long to convince us to choose them for dinner, which we are grateful for (you already knew we would be happy, right dear Rino?).
The dishes were delicious, the portions were right, no frills to present flavors that already smelled amazing. The oil of this place is sublime, as are the cheeses.
The waiting staff was attentive and courteous, as well as very friendly... thanks to Marco for his gallantry and professionalism, and also Andrea for his knowledge about the products on sale at the entrance, which we obviously purchased.
Dinner paid 62.50 euros for 2 appetizers, 1 first course, 1 second course, 1 side dish, service charge and water, bread, craft beer by the glass. We consider it a fair amount since it is all made by them, organic and genuine, in an environment that feels like home!
The breakfast was almost the most beautiful, so quiet, slow, and again all home-made products or at most local... so we bought the gianduia cream based on oil and also the "Ideale" oil, amazing, a wild pork salami and another sweet thing for home, thanks to a second Marco for having looked after us and for the two chats at breakfast.
We have read some not very nice reviews, and we can't understand what these people had in their heads to be able to write so much nonsense.
We highly recommend this wonderful place, and we hope to return too, the end ❤️
