05/07/2026: A wonderful experience that changed our evening. The restaurant is downtown, with a street-side entrance, a pizza oven, and tables all around and in a room right behind it. A tall, black-haired, black-eyed girl with a neat, orderly appearance escorts us to our table. "We've made a reservation," "then talk to him." The kind "him" confirms our table for two. We sit down, place our order, the antipasto (a very rich one, which we shared), and shortly afterward they bring us the pasta e fagioli (pasta and beans), the condiments (oil, vinegar, salt, pepper), and suddenly... a large man arrives with round glasses, a chef's apron, a hat, a sweet smile, and a genuine courtesy, with the calm, affable words of a "Daddy Pig" who's always at the stove and occasionally wants to see someone: he brings us the pappardelle with hare. We immediately like him; we adore him. Both the pasta e fagioli and the pappardelle are excellent.
Dessert time: the lady offers us Stracchino della Duchessa. We ask what it is, and who the duchess is, and the lady, as kind and affable as our now-adopted Daddy Pig, tells us the story of the dessert: in short, not only is it not stracchino (it's Chantilly cream), but there's no duchess at all. And in any case, she's revisited the dessert. Got it. While I'm there enjoying it, the girl from before arrives. With a confident questioning voice and a deep look in her eyes, she asks us very seriously if we use condiments (oil, vinegar, salt). For a moment, I wonder what the question means, since I was enjoying the Chantilly cream, maybe a drizzle of oil or a sprinkling of pepper could have been used on the Stracchino della Duchessa... then I look closely at the girl: Wednesday. Maybe she would have put them there. Adorable, fantastic. I tell her no, I don't put anything on the dessert. Satisfied, she takes the condiments away.
We get up, take one last look at "our" dad Pig working in the kitchen, a timid smile at Wednesday, who smiles back (wow!), and we head to the register to pay. No, it wasn't over: there's a sign posted saying "When booking, remember to mention dogs, children, and strollers, to ensure a suitable seat." Ionesco's restaurant is a comedy of the absurd. Very reasonable prices, delicious dishes, even if limited, definitely worth returning to. Just so you know, we adored you. You're all wonderful. Thank you for the wonderful evening you, perhaps unknowingly, gave us. Highly recommended place (and staff).
20/06/2026: Excellent restaurant and pizzeria
I've been there several times, and for a first course, I recommend the ricotta and spinach tortelloni with burto and sage, which are fabulous (see photo).
The pizza is also very good (see photo).
The desserts are excellent and varied: Duchess stracchino, various semifreddos, Catalan cream, white or black truffle.
The staff is friendly.
Good value for money.
I recommend
