After having lunch downtown by St Peter Basilica, we found this place for dinner. What a wonderful find! The food and service and wine were all excellent. Our waiter one of the siblings of the family working there was great at answering questions and helping us understand the menu which was fairly large. The items were ala crate. We had the tavern sPecial antipasto (2 plus pizza crust bread) for the seven of us and it was just the right amount. The house labeled red wine was fantastic (we left with 4 extra bottles to enjoy on the rest of our vacation.) We all thoroughly enjoyed our selections and share amongst our table. They included gnocchi, pizza, brachiosaurus, spinach, chicory, eggplant balls. They were all 'fantastico'. The eggplant balls were the favorite (probably because we are all from the Southern USA where everything is fired!). If I had one critique it might be that the creme brûlée was not very smooth/creamy but still delicious. Overall we highly recommend La Taverna Del Bracho right down to the security provided in the parking lot(which looked secure anyway). The pricing was very fair. Without the wine the price was about $15euro/person.
We will definitely return! read more
