Sintesi

A refined and elegant restaurant where the modern atmosphere of the dining room may be far removed from the familiar image of the fraschette (the traditional taverns of Castelli Romani), yet the dishes of Matteo Compagnucci and Sara Scarsella represent one of the most accomplished and convincing expressions of cooking in the area. Centred on produce – whether local, such as cave-grown cardoncelli mushrooms, lake fish and herbs gathered from the hills, or ingredients from the sea and elsewhere – the result, enhanced in certain dishes by an effective use of the grill, is of a very high standard. The dining-room service also deserves praise.
