Trattoria L'Orchidea In Quattro castella

Let me start by saying that I was there for the first time yesterday so I don't know if it was bad luck or if it's always like this. Last night I was here for dinner with my boyfriend (he had already been there years ago and liked it). We ordered a plate of tricolor sweets, one of potato tortelli, gnocco with cured meats and tigelle with lard and stracciatella; water and a bottle of Lambrusco 800 Nero to drink. Good sweets as well as tigelle; the potato tortelli, due to the type of seasoning, I expected them to be white and instead they were red (as far as I remember, tomato was not mentioned on the menu) they were very, too tasty. Very heavy fried dumpling and I only managed to eat half a piece and my boyfriend barely ate 2 pieces. I don't know if it's a dough or frying problem or both but in the end it stuck and we both felt bad: I had a sleepless night with a lot of acidity (something that hadn't happened to me for years) and drinking liters of water , him perpetually in the bathroom...we had breakfast with a digestive herbal tea and almost 24 hours later we are still recovering. Maybe if we had chosen other dishes it would have gone differently. However, the staff is very kind, the place is nice and clean and some dishes were actually good with honest prices.

Quiet, intimate and welcoming restaurant. The quality of the food is excellent, varied choice of first and second courses with generous portions. I recommend the appetizers of tigelle, fried gnoccho and fried polenta, with various sauces But above all the various first courses, in particular the strozzapreti with saffron (a creamy and tasty sauce), are also worth the mixed grill, tender and well cooked meat. For those who don't want to spend a lot to eat well and above all go out with a full belly, this is the right restaurant.

You eat well and, in my opinion, you pay a little more than you should. But it deserves it

Cena tra amici in questo locale con arredamento poco tradizionale e molto moderno. Camerieri gentili e disponibili, cibo come da titolo. Gnocco unto e salume di modesta qualità. Tigelle eccessivamente cotte, salsine buone. Funghi fritti senza sapore, sembrano quelli confezionati già impanati. Primi discreti... Gramigna con salsiccia purtroppo era andata un po' avanti di cottura anche se il sapore non era male. Strozzapreti con speck avevano un po' troppa panna e zafferano, buonini. Si può migliorare.

Beautiful restaurant, good atmosphere, very welcoming staff and excellent cuisine

A welcoming and very familiar place, the food is good and plentiful.

Consiglio, gentilissimi è veloci. Abbiamo mangiato gnocco e tigelle con ottimi salumi e tanto altro. Dai funghi fritti alla polenta fritta con caponata siciliana super. Buonissimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
