02/08/2025: We went to lunch at La Dispensa del Forte on a quiet midweek in July.
A perfect time to appreciate the location, which in my opinion remains its true strength: outdoor tables, a relaxed atmosphere, no crowds.
A place where you can truly enjoy your time.
The attention to children was greatly appreciated: paper and colors at the table, a simple yet thoughtful gesture that helps make the meal more relaxing for parents too.
Lunch begins with a pink mousse served as a welcome drink.
A small, pleasant gift that starts the meal on a gentle note.
The bread basket – supplied by a local bakery – is well-stocked and of good quality, with a very soft focaccia that stands out from the other types.
We then ordered a charcuterie board: it was delicious, with a porchetta that stood out for its flavor and simplicity, seasoned with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Next up was a first course of spaghetti with shrimp, zucchini, and confit cherry tomatoes.
Colorful, fresh, and beautifully plated.
Overall, it was fine, though lacking any particular flair.
The service was friendly and well-timed.
The price of each course was slightly above average, but in line with the restaurant's setting.
Not a memorable experience, but not disappointing either.
I would return, perhaps on another occasion, to give the cuisine a chance to truly impress me.
For those seeking tranquility and a break from the city's frenetic pace, it's definitely a place worth considering.
Especially at lunchtime, in the middle of the week, when everything slows down and even a simple dish can be appreciated.
