Saint Mary In Mira

We had dinner last night; I already knew the place, it's family-run. Aurora, the owners' daughter, welcomed us with her sunny smile and friendly manner. When you go there, you shouldn't expect the usual, standardized restaurant, but a place where the customer is a friend, where simplicity reigns supreme. We started with a Spritz, delicious, and a pre-appetizer platter of pizza and chips. Then came the appetizer, a huge plate with cold cuts, soppressa, speck, prosciutto crudo and prosciutto cotto, and to my surprise, tongue, cheeses, breaded mozzarella, and mini panzerotti. Even with the appetizer, I was full... luckily, there's a waiting time between courses, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to eat most of it. They're very attentive to those with food intolerances; my daughter-in-law is lactose and gluten intolerant, so her dishes were served separately. Then came a long platter with grilled meat and vegetables. Everything was delicious. And at the end of the meal, their famous latte di toro (sorbet) churned at the table. Aurora was very attentive to the tables, always smiling and ready, and very friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a simple evening, without the pretensions of an ultra-fine restaurant, but a place where you feel right at home. Congratulations to you for doing your job with love and simplicity; I'll definitely be back.

Of course it's a simple inn, what bothered me was that the owner brought us what she wanted without telling us what was on the menu.

A true Italian trattoria, homey, family-friendly, and welcoming. I ate very well; the platters were beautifully presented, and the meatballs, the cabbage in tecia, and the potatoes were all delicious. I'll definitely be back.

Everything is homely, with friendly and welcoming staff. Even though the wait is long, at least considering the generous portions, you have time to chat and wolf down the food. Excellent, we'll definitely return.
