I went there with my boyfriend with a Groupon. When we arrived the waiter who recieved us instead of walking us to the table just pointed it and said: "that's your table". Not the best way to start. They poured the wine, and some "spumante" and pretty fast got our antipasti, that was, like some other review mentioned, a quite dissapointing, low-quality, little ammounts, way to start. While we were eating these antipasti (My mouth was literally full with food) the woman who we guessed was in charged came to take our order. (Would have it been really too much to ask to take the order before we started the antipasti or when we had just finished it???) Very rudly she asked what did we wanted, assumming that since we came with a Groupon ticket we had memorized our menu options from home. My partner asked me if I could remember the names, which of course I didn't (Being not italian make it hard for me to remember so many options), not even then she tried to be helpfull by reminding us what our choices were...Finally, when we could swallow our food we asked her what the options were, what she did feeling clearly upset (I still wonder why, Isn't it her job?).The pasta we had with funghi porcini was low average, I'm not an expert (again not italian), but my boyfriend was positive the boletus were frozen ones, while on the menu was specifically written they would be fresh..The meat course was even worse..We had read some bad reviews about that place, but all of them related to fish courses, so we decided to give a meat menu a try: BELIEVE Me YOU BETTER DON'T...the meat was bad quality, cheewy, tasteless and very bad presented. The side dish that was "patate duchesa" were hard potato pieces fried with some rosemary herbs...The dish where served was hot, really hot, but the potatoes were cold inside and disgusting...The dessert was the best of the menu, but considering what I wrote is saying very little about it. We had an average Tiramisu and a mousse of Fruitti del bosco...One could think that the fact of bothering a client while eating to ask them what they wanna order could be in order to provide a better service, and have the food ready, so the customer doesn't have to wait from course to course...not the case...The service was really poor, and we had to wait a big ammount of time from course to course..I will not detail their unprofessionality but as a sample I would say some waiter left the kitchen smoking...In conclusion: we paid 20⬠per person for a very bad quality food and an even worse service... I wondered exactly the same thing the other "terrible review" asked herself: is this is what you have to offer, I really don't wanna imagine you organizing and catering a wedding banquet....PS: the bread was hard and dry...

This hidden gem on the Piazza Gariboldi is warm and inviting with friendly staff who speak excellent English and even when we tried to speak basic Italian were good enough to help with our pronunciation.The decor was well finished with traditional touches that made you feel that you were about to be served a good home cooked meal.As it was lunch time we skipped the starter and just went for a pasta course, mine was Pasta with Gorgonzola & Radicchio. which was first class.The wine was recommended and of course we went for a fine white Frascati recommended by the waitress which was excellent and not expensive at 20 euro a bottle. To finish I had the Tiramisu which was as light as a cloud. followed by a strong espresso to wake me up for the rest of the time walking around this gem of a town.This is a must visit restaurant and worth a trip up to this hill top town overlooking Rome. if you go around dusk and stand near the walls at the north of Frascati you will see the lights coming on all over Rome. Very atmospheric. I would recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit.

I was actually heading to a different restaurant, which turned out to be closed, when I passed Kitchen Love. Had seen it in Tripadvisor, took a look at the menu that looked great. But it also looked closed. It wasn't - it was just empty. I was welcomed inside and for more than half an hour I was the sole guest. My Italian is, ahem, pretty poor. But a menu in English was found and I ordered a starter (scormazza cheese skewers wrapped in bacon, on a citrus sauce) and main course (pork fillet wrapped in bacon - do you see a theme here?) and side order of porcini mushrooms. And a glass of local wine. It was all great! The starter was tasty and just the right size and although I thought "citrus with cheese" would be a bit weird, it worked really well. The main course was also great, and the mushrooms really wonderful. Although I was pretty full I wanted to try a dessert and went for a mille-feuille made from honey-caramel crackers filled with milk and white chocolate mousses, with a strawberry sauce. Although the mousses were a little on the heavy side, the taste was again great and the crackers were a highlight. Eventually some other diners came in and seemed to enjoy the food. I really liked it and would definitely recommend it. It was not "cheap" but, for the quality and quantity I was perfectly happy to pay 50 euros. Would go again!

Marvellous food served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had 2 dinners here and both were excellent; the stir-fried zucchini florettes wrapped in bacon and stuffed with ricotta cheese were knock-out! For our mains we had lovely chicken breast and guinea fowl confit. Just superb! On both occasions we had local wines from Lazio that were faultless.

The service at this restaurant was apalling. Because we were english we were treated like second class citizens. We wanted a table with a view and were eventually given this but when we requested it - after we were sat on cheap plastic seats on the lower floor of the restaurant, we could clearly hear a waitress saying in italian, don't give it to them to waiter who decided in the end after we explained that it was our friends birthday that day, that we could sit on the balcony. This waitress wasn't happy that he had undermined her though. Not a great start but we thought the food would make up for it. We were wrong....As well as the service being poor, the food wasn't great at all. I had chicken, which was the worst meal I have had in a long time. .In short I would avoid this restaurant and go to one in San Careso which isn't far. We found some really nice places to eat there during our two weeks in Italy. I feel quite strongly about how poor the service and food was that I had to write this review. I have also been nagged by my family to put this up as they were apalled at how bad this was compared to everywhere else we ate.I hope this helps you during your trip and saves you a few quid as it was very expensive.Best wishesSharon
