Ristorante Il Ristoro delle Monache In Torraca

Yesterday we celebrated my daughter's baptism in this splendid venue. The atmosphere was very refined: clean, bright, and welcoming. The dishes were prepared with quality ingredients, and the food was excellent and plentiful. At the end of the meal, we were offered a tasting of truly excellent homemade amaros. The bill was fair, and the staff was professional and extremely courteous: quality service in every way. The owners were kind and helpful. All the guests were satisfied. Definitely one of the best venues in the area.

Everything was excellent, from the quality to the service. Highly recommended.

Recommended by locals, it was a delightful surprise that did not disappoint. Thirteen generous appetizers consisting of cured meats, local cheeses, olives, potato tart, eggplant parmigiana, meatballs in tomato sauce, ciambotta, stuffed eggplant, eggplant with mushrooms, zucchini scapece, peppers, mozzarella, and escarole, all expertly prepared. The cavatelli and fusilli with cimentano sauce were exceptional. The grilled meats included a wide variety of meats, including sausage, pancetta, veal, pork, lamb, and ribs. Homemade chips, homemade liqueurs (the fig liqueur and Amaro delle Monache were excellent), coffee, wine, and homemade desserts were also included. Fair prices, excellent service, a welcoming location, and professional and friendly staff. Whatever you can't eat because there's so much food, you can take home in trays...no waste! A truly positive experience! Highly recommended. We'll be back soon.

The appetizers were plentiful and average for the area, but nothing that won me over. The first courses were disappointing: the fusilli with eggplant and sausage white sauce didn't satisfy any of the guests. The cavatelli with ragù was neither good nor bad. They didn't have desserts, but they did have almond biscuits and other small sweets not made by them. The tasting of bitters was good. The bill was very high for the area, the quantity, and especially the quality of the food.
