"Good food and service. It’s close to the Sanctuary of Padre Pio. We enjoyed the pasta dishes and the grilled lamb."

"We ended up here by accident, but it turned out to be amazing! I had a delicious Caprese with very tasty mozzarella, and my partner had perfectly grilled meat. What truly enchanted me was the incredibly good, crispy, fresh, and crispy bread – oh my God, I still think about that bread and want it again! The wine was excellent too, and we finished with a high-quality, great coffee. 10/10."

"We really like the chef’s pasta with salsiccia! Simply delicious! The Orecchiette with head of turnips was an acquired taste! I really loved it! But my friends, who are used to eat meaty pastas, didn’t.. the veal scaloppine wasn’t so great for our taste though. Service was fine and the place was beautiful.. thy separate the place into two parts; a restaurant where you can get pastas and grilled meat, and the bar where you can get pizza and snacks"

"Serves lunch, but not dinner. Google needs to correct its hours info. Lovely place, not much English but they appreciate any effort to communicate in Italian. Delicious food, and we were able to find vegetarian options which is not available everywhere."

"가격대비 엄청 훌륭해요. 다음에도 여기로 성지순례 올 일 있으면 이 식당에 꼭 들를거에요. 알 라 까르떼 메뉴는 일요일 공휴일에는 주문할 수 없어요. 손님들이 많으니 식사시간대를 피해서 가시면 훨씬 좋습니다."
