Un indirizzo del centro molto gettonato, che affianca cucina tipica ternana a quella romana. In un clima di cordialità che mette ogni ospite a proprio agio si gustano piatti ben eseguiti, dai sapori decisi e in porzioni abbondanti. Un assaggio di coratella e di prosciutto tagliato a coltello fanno da apripista agli gnocchi al ragù di castrato, alle ciriole con una miriade di condimenti diversi (alla ternana classiche, al pomodoro, all’amatriciana, alla carbonara, al tartufo, al sugo di rane…), alle polpette, alla faraona alla leccarda, allo spezzatino di cinghiale, al luccio con patate e pomodorini.
