Trattoria La Grotta Da Concetta

Great lunchtime haunt for the locals. Menu consists of Regional specialities, rediscovered and developed. Highly recommended.

We ate here on a very rainy night. It was a bit hard to find but very welcoming. Tiny place with wonderful local cuisine and their own wine. We love the pizza with minestre. It is pieces of crust (not pizza like you think) made with corn flour with sautéed spinach or maybe chard as a first course. Comfort food for sure. We also had fried pumpkin and grilled lamb (sort of lamb chops and other parts). Desert was a peach crumble with marinated sour cherries and maybe mascarpone. Be sure and book ahead, the place is tiny and popular.

It's a tiny, easy, small place with thick walls and a long tradition. Better to make a reservation in advance: it's closed in the weekend and it's well known and filled with locals. Service was fast and kind, expecially in explaining the dishes unknown to people coming there first time. Cheese is at its best here: we had pizza e meneste as a starter (corn loaf with local wild herbs, very tasty) even though locally it's considered a first course. Pasta with fagiolini and pomodorini is very good, as it's caciocavallo al forno. Home made cake with amarene and noci was delicious. Portions are adequate and price is low.

To be honest, I was annoyed by the fact that the staff tried to enforce some rules regarding phones, this happened before the food was brought out. They didn't bring the bill to the table, had to stand in line to pay, the bill was not shown, I never found out what was paid. The food was very good, despite those details.

It's a small and busy restorer. The staff is super nice and welcoming. The food came fast and everything was fresh and delicious. As a bonus the bill was a big surprise
