Remember those trattorias of the past? The ones where it feels like your grandmother is cooking, where everything is delicious and abundant? Well, that's the description of Trattoria Dario e Giuseppina in Rocca di Cave. We spent two days on vacation nearby and were recommended this trattoria with its authentic, unpretentious flavors. We were so satisfied that, despite our short stay, we returned a second time. Everything was extremely authentic and delicious. We sampled the various homemade first courses, served with mutton sauce, ragù, and porcini mushrooms; for the second courses, we enjoyed lamb in every sauce, always super tender, mutton, arrosticini, livers, and offal; and a side of chicory and potatoes, also superb! Of course, as only the olden days could offer, they also offered homemade liqueurs and desserts. An extremely positive note was also the quality and speed of the service, with the very kind and professional staff. Super Pietro, one of the owners, welcomed us like we were at home! Highly recommended!

A warm and friendly welcome. Homemade Roman cuisine, delicious in every course. For my first course, I had gnocchi with codfish and served with tomato and mutton sauce, and my second course was breaded and fried lamb. Delicious.

We were there for Ferragosto 2025. Having worked until 1 pm, they kindly waited for us and reserved a table. There were 5 of us. As soon as we were seated, we had a Flemish cannelloni, then our order. Excellent wines, bread, and Flemish pasta dishes, including sheep's milk pasta, etc. P.S. After telling a very friendly waiter that perhaps my choice of fettuccine might have been better, in 5 minutes 2 Flemish ones arrived. (Spectacular) Then we ordered 6 main courses and side dishes. Of all kinds, all superb. Then they offered us desserts, but while we waited, we sat outside, where they served us 4 types of bitters, grappa, etc. (bottles). Then a splendid cake and coffee. We can only be grateful. PLEASE NOTE: There is one drawback. I'm from Lazie. But honestly, it didn't bother me at all, because everyone, including the owner, are excellent hosts. I thank the waiter with the glasses. (But he took away the Amaro Abbruzzese) 🤣🤣

Tagliolini all'amatriciana was superb Excellent cannelloni Good meat Superb ring cake Waiters and everything else were impeccable. Must try

Everything was extremely authentic and delicious. Impeccable service, the waiters were friendly but polite and unobtrusive, and the dishes were generous without compromising on quality. Even though they didn't serve a menu, we were satisfied with the final price, even though we didn't know how much we'd spend. I will recommend it to anyone who asks me for a restaurant outside of town. Thank you so much!

I would say an institution when it comes to good food.

It's hard to choose one dish to describe, praise, or glorify. It's a cuisine of ancient flavors, of the flavors of history, of the land, of aromas, of family members, offering increasingly rare, increasingly unobtainable emotions. The courtesy and helpfulness of the staff add that extra something, making you feel like you're enjoying an emotionally enriching experience, making you feel once again at home...with your mother, your aunts, your grandmother...❤️

Friendly and nice manager, excellent and abundant dishes. I update the previous review.... I confirm what I wrote a few years ago, today celebrated my mother's birthday and we were more than enthusiastic, thank you very much and see you next time.
