Nice little place with excellent home cooking and a charming host. Ask to try the cherry amarro that they make - it's delish!

Ristorante carino senza molte pretese che ha una bella vista sul lago. I proprietari sono gentili e cortesi e hanno cercato di accontentare tutte le nostre richieste. Fanno menù turistico o alla carta non c'è tanta varietà ma i prodotti sono molto genuini e fanno una cucina casalinga solo un appunto l'aglianico il vino della casa non sembra molto di qualità. per il resto era tutto molto buono anche i dolci soprattutto la torta di noci e cioccolato era deliziosa. Bagno pulito. Lo consiglio

The last time I visited here was 5 years ago with my parents. We were passing through and stopped off again. We all remembered eating the lovely orecchiette pasta. My dad loves to talk about the old stories. And is known as the man from Forenza! This time we had the set menu for 25 euros per person excluding service and drinks. It was delicious and filling. Hopefully we'll be back next year.

Dopo un lungo viaggio in moto di tre ore, questo pub ai Laghi di Monticchio è stata una tappa davvero perfetta per una pausa pranzo rigenerante. Siamo stati accolti con grande simpatia e gentilezza da una persona davvero cordiale. La vista sul lago è semplicemente incantevole: rilassante e suggestiva, ideale per godersi un pranzo immersi nella natura. Il cibo tipico è buono e autentico, perfetto per chi cerca sapori locali genuini. Consigliato a chi vuole mangiare bene in un’atmosfera serena e nella natura!

Pranzo di Ferragosto, non molto fortunato x il tempo, cibo buono, antipasto con salumi e formaggi di ottima qualità, primo e secondo nella media, ma come si sa nei giorni di festa mangiare in giro è sempre un rischio. Servizio migliorabile, ma per lo stesso motivo si prima, presumo, costo nella media. Punto di forza la location, si pranza a pochi metri dal lago piccolo vista bellissima. Esperienza nel complesso positiva.
