Grotta del Frate


Staffolo
26/12/2025: Positives: Cappelletti in brodo, for which the staff member who made them was introduced by the restaurant manager and received a well-deserved round of applause. The dish didn't deserve a full score; the broth for this iconic dish was lukewarm... a shame. Mediocres: > The room temperature was low upon arrival; we asked for the heating to be turned up. > Entree: mini supplí balls on a pepper cream, cold masticata-style pasta, a hesitant preview to begin with. > Mixed appetizers: vitello tonnato could be improved, polenta with melted cheese and bacon was insignificant because it wasn't seasoned. The grilled cotechino was noteworthy. Stuffed breasola tortelli could easily be replaced with something more valuable. > lasagna: titled "from when I was a kid," it features an unusual alternating of lasagna noodles, slices of mortadella, and sliced ​​cheese, topped with crusty ragù. This meant that our entire dining room, including our table, must have had 60 guests, who, after the first few forkfuls, left it on their plates. The staff's explanation for this blunder was that the dish is a recipe from Novara, and the chef replacing the regular chef seems to have been influenced. > the boiled meats are accompanied by a cocktail sauce and a salsa verde, which, in essence, create a dilemma for the critics, arguing between their insufficient quantity and their actual purpose in the boiled meats (both were rejected). At home, I would have eaten less improvised and more flavorful sauces to accompany the boiled meats. > fritto misto: a real sword of Damocles. If eating it makes you miss grandma's, it's poorly made and poorly reheated, and that's not a valid incentive to come and eat it like this. Fried Italian-style food is the epitome of poor cuisine; made like this, it'll die. > Homemade desserts: slices of panettone with pieces of nougat here and there, fairly consistent with the Christmas menu we've been serving up to now for €60 per person. Money wasted. Dissatisfied. We won't be returning. One of the most serious offenses against Italian cuisine is the "lasagna from when I was a child." The aggravating factor lies with the restaurant's management: it should have been tried sooner rather than debuting it blindly on Christmas Day and then suffering from this massive dissatisfaction. Eight months ago, we were always guests, we had a great time and expected a repeat. Yesterday, the restaurant wasn't even a distant relative, as if management had changed hands.
29/11/2025: A very disappointing experience. The food arrived cold and tasteless, the service was slow and disorganized, and the place didn't seem clean. Considering the prices, I expected much better. I wouldn't recommend it.
