trattoria Ai Colli Storici In Sommacampagna

I'll start with the negative (obviously, in my opinion), which isn't a bad thing in itself; it just needs to be addressed beforehand: there's no menu, and you'll never know how much you paid for what (the receipt will simply state "full menu"). The food features ingredients of varying quality, from excellent to good/fairly good. Some dishes were a real disappointment, but the meat (which I ate) was excellent, though the quantities were a bit limited. The owner is a witty person and demonstrates a great intellect (even in his jokes and his memory). Parking is a bit of a no-go, but with luck, you can find a spot nearby (very lucky if it's peak time). The acoustics were terrible; to talk to someone sitting further away, I had to shout or lean forward, as if we were at a rave. Overall, I don't think I'll go back on my own. But if you happen to be there, choose the meat and expect a surprise bill (not necessarily a bad one, I spent €31 (€62 between me and my girlfriend) for a second course and some wine).

Despite the top-quality meat and the kindness and professionalism of the waitstaff, the experience is undermined by the owner’s arbitrary pricing policy: there are no menus, and prices are decided on the spot. Portions are small, and during “broccoletto di Custoza” season you are not even served the best parts. A missed opportunity.

Beautiful panoramic terrace, friendly staff, quick service, wide selection on the menu, excellent food, reasonable prices.

Dishes featuring top-quality local produce, such as Custoza broccoli. Excellent wines, a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. A truly positive experience.

Typical 1970s trattoria atmosphere, clean, fast service, and polite staff. My wife and I had a delicious charcuterie board, including a generous serving of tagliata and grilled rib-eye steak, with very tender meat—a dream. Very good price. I'll definitely be back.

Nice tranquil and authentic atmosphere inside the restaurant, combination of modern and traditional furniture. Dishes were well cooked and presented.

I knew about this place, heard of it in different situations and so on but I've never had the chance to eat there so far. This year I've come back to Italy for my vacation and I've decided to finally go there and try. I must say it was the right choice! The place is super cozy, classic trattoria style with old photos on the walls and the square tablecloth. The staff was super nice and funny, the prices were very good for what we ate, we had a delicious polenta as appetizer and then pasta as main course, closing with a delicious dessert. All was homemade and you could tell easily, that added a lot of value to the diner. We'll surely be back.

Always top notch. Home cooking... excellent wines... the owners and staff make you feel right at home.

A delightful place, we return every year and always have a great time! A family-friendly and welcoming atmosphere, good food, attentive and fast service, and a great value! Very good!

An excellent evening at the Colli Storici di Custoza! We had the house appetizer and a simply exceptional Florentine steak, tender and of the highest quality. The wine was also excellent, selected from an interesting and well-stocked cellar. Friendly service, pleasant and clean atmosphere. The bill? We were pleasantly surprised by the quality/price ratio. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a true culinary experience in Custoza!
