The food was a welcomed change from the standard pizza and pasta( did try the pasta) but the selection of meet was impeccable. For desert it was a Creme Brule and I can say I would have to come back to Italy just for this. The other stuff would be a bonus.

If you fly into or out of Ciampino airport, do yourself a favor and eat here. You will forget all…read moreabout that cramped Ryanair flight. As we are bad tourists with poor command of Italian, the friendly servers translated the entire daily specials menu into English for us. They brought us a tasting of their house bread and impossibly rich olive oil, which we downed greedily. The homemade tortellini pasta was outstanding. The succulent chicken was well complemented by a thick lemon-ginger sauce, and the tri-tip was seasoned to perfection. Wine pours were generous. All dishes were very reasonably priced. I hesitated to try the tiramisu, worrying it would be the first letdown of the meal. It did not disappoint. With an artisanal mound of cocoa topping and a generous base of liquor, it was probably the best tiramisu I've had. This dinner made us regret leaving Italy all the more. I never expected to voluntarily plan a trip to Ciampino, but this place would bring us back.

Though we did not speak any Italian, the shop owner was very welcoming and polite! We told him (as best we could) that we were from America and he treated us super kindly. He offered us appetizers (on the house!) so that we could sample true Italian seafood. He sent over grilled shrimp on crusty Italian bread with grilled asparagus, followed by a fritter of sorts which consisted of a ball of extremely tiny fish. The "fritter" is something I wouldn't have considered ordering as eating small fish whole isn't something I'd normally do, but it was good! For our meals, we ordered the fried seafood platter which consisted of calamari, anchovies, and other small fish and crustaceans. Wow. I was blown away! We cleaned the plates! I recently began planning a trip to Italy for next year and knew that I'd have to mark this place for a return visit. It's truly a testament to how good the food is if, after four years, I can vividly remember what I ate! Can't wait to go back next year!
