A goodness!

Aug 2023 • family

I came for dinner with my family after booking on the same day. We also came once again and I must say that the quality remained high. We ordered three appetizers (a platter of ham and bruschetta with pulled pork, plus a rosemary focaccia). Everything was excellent, the focaccia was perhaps less up to par but it was still pleasant on the palate. Subsequently we had a mixed grill: even the most "banal" meat, chicken, was delicious with this cooking. Then we took a garnished slice of beef, very delicate and at the same time strong in flavour, together with some excellent baked potatoes. In total for 3 people, including water, food, drinks and cover charge we spent €90. Certainly there are other more affordable products, such as sandwiches, and the children's menu. In my opinion it's worth it!

Mouth-watering meats and starters

Dec 2023 • couples

We stayed for the 5 years of our engagement with my girlfriend and what can I say... top welcome, the butcher's raw meats are always delicious, very fresh meat. We had a ribeye manzetta and a cuberoll manzetta, really delicious, you can see the attention towards the customer, waiters always ready to satisfy our requests on the meat, cooking and weights respected. Delicious dessert too, and prices in line with the quality served, I will definitely return

Meat at the top

Jan 2024 • couples

Coming out of an exhausting visit to Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli we were very hungry and we opted for this meat restaurant also open for lunch just a few minutes from the Emperor's Villa. Sandwiches with hamburgers and top cuts of beef served with side dishes of potatoes and various sauces. Prices normal. Highly recommended!

Excellent meat, excellent service

Aug 2023 • none

Cozy place, it also has a lift to access it, very clean, there are no strong smells even if they cook a lot of meat, effective service managed by smart and professional waiters. The quality of the food is very good. I recommend as a starter: fried Bovas mix, pulled pork bruschetta (a delight) classic focaccia and fresh Pinsa, however for a good meat dish I prefer a nice mixed grill for two people which has truly satisfying flavours, then there are also burgers very good and substantial, the baked potatoes are also good. As they say when you had a good time: I had been there several times and clearly I will return.

Pappardelle with mushrooms and truffle, all real and natural

Dec 2023 • solo

I ate some delicious pappardelle with mushrooms and truffles. Real mushrooms and truffles! Delicious. Then I got some huge chicken pieces with mayonnaise and sweet and sour sauce that were spectacular for me. In my opinion, the cost was fair because the quality of the products is high. The service was impeccable and fast. Highly recommended

Best meat restaurant in the area

Feb 2024 • couples

First time at this restaurant, and the experience was excellent. Clean and modern place, excellent food, fast and friendly service. The quality of the meat is excellent, but the appetizers such as bruschetta and desserts are also excellent, presented with spectacular plating. Prices appropriate to the quality. In my humble opinion, best meat restaurant in the area.

Bad experience! Flunked across the board.

Jul 2024 • couples

Disappointing in every respect. We arrive at 8.15 pm and, after 5 minutes of waiting, the waitress informs us that we can sit wherever we want, but waiting 10/15 minutes. So far so normal. We sit down, and the clock ticks, until we reach 9 pm, where they finally set the table for us and bring the menu. We order, entering definitively into a limbo of boundless waiting .. Appetizer arrived at 21.40. Main courses arrived at 22.10!!! We hoped at least that the quality was decent, and instead we note the little attention in the plating and quality of the product offered. We left the side dish (arrived after another 10 minutes), as we had passed the hunger. Recommendation not to linger in this restaurant, and look around for more destinations. Gallicano in Lazio, for example, is very close and offers excellent service / quality, especially to its historic center. Moral of the story..44€ bill, a nod of apology and dozens of dissatisfied and waiting customers. Failed!

Wonderful lunch with friends

Apr 2024 • friends

……………… we've been wanting to try going to Bova's for lunch for a while Monday is a strange day for catering, who knows if it's open, let's try!! The location inside a supermarket car park does not do full credit to the place, which instead is large, welcoming, with an open kitchen and quick and informal service Naturally meat, but first we pamper ourselves with a bruschetta with porchetta, good overall, but it would have been enough to grill the porchetta for a moment to have an excellent result My friend doesn't drink red wine so I choose from the limited, alas, proposals on the wine list, a pecorino from Orsogna, an area suited to wine, which I know very well, as I assiduously purchase the wines of Tenuta Ulisse, from Crecchio , a stone's throw from Orsogna, "Ju Zirè" a good 13 degrees of fresh flavor that also goes well with a good meat dish We choose to take two different courses in order to taste both …. X which veal tomhawk served with baked potatoes and grilled courgettes and butcher's steak, which is a cutting of a diaper a poor but very tasty cut, served with egg to the eye of the ox, baked potatoes and bruschetta with extra virgin oils of olive Get rid of the bruschetta and clean your mouth with a nice fresh glass from its glacette, the meat arrives which we share with excellent friends and we begin the tasting The meat is of excellent quality, medium cooked, the pannicolo is tasty, you can taste the marinade and it melts in your mouth, the potatoes are good, too bad about the garlic on the courgettes which I hate The veal Tomahawk, tall and cooked to perfection releases all the juices when cut and is delicate and tasty, an excellent choice Then we can't miss a dessert, I get a homemade mimosa from the kitchen lady, fragrant and delicious, my friend gets a truly delicious three chocolate dessert Coffee and go Big Congrats! See you next time!

Prices a little high for the quality..

Mar 2024 • friends

Dinner with friends, we tasted a bit of everything from tartare to steaks, unfortunately the quality is not up to the prices, but all in all it is one of the best in the area. Friendly and fast staff. Nice and clean environment. Value for money we are not there.

Nice evening

Dec 2022 • friends

Very good food, slightly expensive prices but justified by the quality of the food, the only flaw is the very slow service.
