Spezium Cucina e Orto In Mazzano

I was here with my family for Easter lunch: the place is very nice and welcoming, not too big, furnished in a simple but nice way. The menu met our expectations: the starter in particular satisfied me very much. Since it was a holiday lunch, the menu was fixed, I will definitely return for an à la carte dinner to try other dishes. Price appropriate to the proposal offered.

Found in passing by chance, it was one of the restaurants marked among the favourites. Very homely atmosphere with friendly and courteous staff. No less the dishes offered. The business lunch offer is very good in terms of quality and quantity. Very convenient value for money. I will be back to try the card.

Ristorante piccolo e molto carino. Propone piatti diversi dal solito. Qualità ottima. Abbiamo provato il polipo, le loro patate e la tartare di fastosa, tutto gustoso.

I really like it, it's intimate, welcoming and the food is excellent. Kind and attentive.

Many vegetarian options, healthy food. A little on the expensive side to be in the middle of nowhere. 15 euros for 4 small bruschettas is too much. The zafferano gnocchi were tasting too much like zafferano. The water came in a bottle like if it was filtered tap water and in the end we discovered that it costed 3 Euros. The plants could be live plants instead of plastic. The bathrooms are cold. There is a big parking outside the restaurant.

Conosciamo bene questo piccolo ristorante del nostro paese; piccolo è gestito da ragazzi giovani. Abbiamo già in più occasioni pranzato e cenato in questo locale, devo dire sempre con soddisfazione. Questa volta, per il pranzo di Natale, è stata deludente. Considerando che i posti disponibili erano già prenotati da tempo ed il menù già comunicato, mi aspettavo di “mangiare bene”. Invece che delusione. Antipasto: buonissimi gli affettati. Primi: lasagnetta verde con salsa caciopepe e salsiccia al rosamarino: buone; e risotto con crema di piselli, crescenza e nocciole: deludenti, non ho capito che sapore aveva. La crescenza integra e fredda primeggiava in mezzo al piatto. Secondo: guancetta di manzo al vino rosso stufata con salsa demiglace e patate al forno. La carne era davvero tenera e buona. Le patate? Penso infornate il giorno prima, dure e fredde. Dolce: torta di zucca e gocce di cioccolato con crema inglese all’ arancia. Improponibile per un pranzo. Grossolana, forse da mangiare a colazione. Nota positiva il personale, come sempre cordiale. E’ un locale intimo secondo per me per queste occasioni, spero che abbiano notato anche loro come noi tanti piatti ritirati pressoché interi perché non “adatti”.

I hadn't even entered before I already found the place delightful. It certainly doesn't lack Christmas spirit: the façade in this period is decorated with an infinite number of lights and once you cross the threshold you are welcomed into a small Christmas village, where the protagonists are the tree decorated with polar bears and penguins and the nativity scene with vintage taste, with a moving mechanical mobile with hypnotic movement. The style is simple, but with attention to the smallest details, American-style tables, colorful plates and glasses. Everything is in harmony and forms the perfect setting for the menu, from which it is difficult to choose. The flavor combinations are refined and non-trivial, but without ever being too pretentious. At Spezium they know well that you eat with your eyes first and in fact these dishes are inviting even just to look at. Attentive and courteous staff, maximum availability towards intolerant or vegetarians, with equally tasty alternative proposals. The place is run by a very dynamic and versatile young couple, very nice! A place to find good food and a nice atmosphere, highly recommended!

Welcoming staff always available, well-kept premises. I ate fabulous cold cuts and a plate of mouth-watering pappardelle with cheese and pepper! Generous portions. I will definitely be back!

Good food Poke tuna Porcini mushroom risotto Tiramisu Chardonnay Good service

Very nice little restaurant with a nice intimate atmosphere. The cold cuts platter was exquisite (the wild boar mortadella with truffles was phenomenal!), the first courses and the octopus excellent. The cheesecake with fig and walnut jam was simply gorgeous. Good service and friendly, attentive waitresses. Absolutely recommended!
