Villa Maccario In Ospedaletto d'alpinolo

22/09/2025: We went to La Scintilla on a Sunday in September. The place is charming, although its decor is certainly a bit dated, reflecting the family-run (I believe) ownership. The place was packed, a sure sign that the food is good. I ordered the first course pictured, which is supposedly one of the house's signature dishes: "Strangozzi alla Scintilla," fresh pasta with a sublime porcini mushroom and truffle sauce. Spectacular! We followed with a tagliata (arugula and parmesan), which, however, had the flaw of being just arugula and parmesan. Not even two cherry tomatoes added flavor and color, and the lack of balsamic vinegar was especially noticeable. The medium-rare meat was good but a bit too dry; frankly, coming to Serino and not eating a proper tagliata is a crime... aside from that "incident," all the other dishes at the table were to our liking. The service was a bit slow (we ordered at almost 2 PM, and started eating at 3 PM, but the place was packed; that's normal on a Sunday). We'll definitely be back to try other delicacies at this well-worth-it place.

07/09/2025: We went to this restaurant that offers 50% off and let's say that everything is good, the food is good, we took a grilled meat and a first course that is not very abundant but good, I took if I'm not mistaken a mix of very good cheeses and had spent €28 a 50% discount on TheFork so I think that if they continued to offer the discount I would go there again because the food is good, the managers are a bit reserved, they should be a bit more open with customers anyway because we were new but there were not many anyway in the end it is the price that was favorable, we will return again
