A very nice restaurant in tavern style. Excellent and inventive dishes made from local products. The "maialino" (roasted pig) is yummy! The restaurant is next to the cathedral of Fossanova (also a must).

Situato proprio nella piazza dell' abbazia, interni e arredamenti che ne rispecchiano infatti lo stile medievale. Piatti tutti curati nella presentazione che poi non deludono all'assaggio, quantità secondo me anche piuttosto giuste. Prezzo giusto per quanto mangiato, si può fare qualcosa in più sulla carta dei vini che è un po' disordinata. Non abbiamo preso dolci perché sazi visto che il tutto era accompagnato anche da del buon pane.

Ristorante incantevole situato proprio nella piazza principale dell’Abbazia. I tavolini sono ben spaziati tra di loro e questo rende l’ambiente tranquillo e privato per chiacchierare con amici o in coppia. La presentazione dei piatti e’ curatissima e scenica e le porzioni ben proporzionate. Noi abbiamo assaggiato le melanzane come antipasto, gli spaghetti cacio e pepe, i fusilli i con il ragout bianco, il manzo tonnato e il pollo con salsa chimichurri. Tutti davvero molto buoni. Il mio piatto preferito è stato il pollo: croccante fuori con la marinatura sulla crosta e tenero dentro. Verdure e salsa eccellenti. Una nota speciale va al pane casareccio servito con il pasto che ho trovato superbo! La selezioni di dolci appaga di più i palati che apprezzano dolci zuccherosi. Anche in questo caso, tutto molto curato. Io che amo i dolci meno zuccherosi avrei preferito, per chiudere il pasto, una crostata o una torta di mele. Nel complesso un posto consigliato. D’Estate il fresco offerto da Fossanova e’ stato apprezzatissimo.
