01/06/2026: Family lunch in a spacious restaurant with ample parking and a view of the Zagarolesi countryside... an old-world atmosphere with a touch of "feeling at home"! Excellent, carefully curated and flavorful menu... served with care and attention by the always friendly staff! Must try...
24/05/2026: I agree with some of the negative reviews that were written before me.
Ambience: The parking lot is spacious and there's a convenient elevator that takes you from floor 0 to floor 1, so this restaurant is good and convenient even for wheelchair users. There's also an entrance directly from the historic center.
As soon as you enter, you're a bit surprised because the rooms are furnished in an old-fashioned style, but the tables are all well-set.
The restrooms are stuck in the 1970s.
Service: Unlike the person who wrote before me who couldn't find the menus, the first things they brought were the menus—one meat, one fish, and one traditional—and water. Our choice of wines, including sparkling wine, unfortunately fell between a full bottle and glasses. Each glass cost 6 euros for a quantity that was less than half a glass.
As we finished eating, the waitress came and cleared away the dirty plates. I wanted to remind the owner, Daniele, to give his waiters a class on table etiquette, because it's absolutely forbidden to clear plates until everyone has finished eating.
Food:
I gave one star because all the dishes they brought were tasteless, starting with the famous matriciana pasta served in a pecorino cheese wheel. It was so tasteless that we had to ask what kind of pasta it was, and when the waitress told us "matriciana," we were all surprised because they didn't have any matriciana, and the guanciale, which was practically raw, was on the last plate plated and wasn't as crunchy as it should be!
Not to mention the famous chicken pulled with the grandparents' iron: the chicken leg and top leg were completely charred, so much so that you couldn't separate the black part from the rest of the meat... €20 (??) for half a chicken... also strictly unsalted and flavorless.
The chicory still had the stems attached... hard. The strawberries were simply sliced and served plain, without sugar or lemon, and the ones with cream weren't previously seasoned either.
Judging from our experience, we paid a lot (€50) per person for the tasteless quality of the food.
To be fair, the portions were just right, and the view of the greenery was beautiful and relaxing, but I'd say it was an average-to-low experience.
