I went with my family in one of my rare trips to the old Continent, the manager understood it was…read morequite the special occasion and decided to make our launch unforgettable. It really was!
Everything was delicious from the apps to the pasta, meat and cakes. Even the humblest antipasto was incredibly tasty, as if the true taste of every ingredient bloomed in your mouth. Among other things we had the most delicious chickpeas salad (you could never believe a chickpeas salad could be this yummy, I still remember it!), home-made Amatriciana bucatini, flaky and tender meat (not a big expert, so I can't really remember the cut, only how tasty it was) and some great cakes tasting (nom nom).
I especially loved that while everything had an amazing taste, it was also very light, which speaks for high quality ingredients and thoughtful cooking. I am quite focused on healthy eating and often when I go out I feel heavy and sleepy after a big meal, but in this case everything was as amazing on our digestive system as it was on our palate!
I would also like to mention the service, which was extremely attentive, they would explain the plates in detail (also it was a mid-week day at launch, the place wasn't too packed so they could pamper us) and make suggestions. Overall everyone was professional, extremely corteous and no aloof, which isn't always an easy balance to strike.
My parents go there often and I could really see why, so you know this is a place for both tourists and beloved by locals, even because they often have nice events going (mostly in the evenings I reckon).
If you are in the area, you should really check out this place. They have lots of parking and are in a very accessible area of the city, the place is big both inside and outside, so it manages to be quiet and pleasant, even being so close to the main train station and on the road to the historical city centre.
Bear in mind this is not your average restaurant, so the bill is going to reflect that, but if you are looking to have fantastic food which is both local and traditional, but also modern and inventive, definitely go!
