"Lo scorso sabato siamo stati con amici nuovamente in questo ristorante immerso nel bellissimo parco di Vulci, e le precedenti positive impressioni sono state amoiamente confermate. Ottimo cibo e servizio attento e curato, ma con calore familiare. La bellissima vista sul parco permette di godere il panorama sua dall'interno che dall'esterno del locale."

"Servizio eccellente, tempi di attesa delle portate perfetti, grande professionalità e allo stesso tempo simpatia e cordialità di tutto lo staff. Piatti squisiti, sia classici che rivisitati ( quando c’è qualche evento con il menù fisso ). L’accostamento dei sapori nei piatti rivisitati è di altissima qualità ed equilibrio, una vera e propria esperienza sensoriale! Location strepitosa immersa nello spettacolare parco di Vuci. Rapporto qualità / prezzo ottimo. CONSIGLIATISSIMO"

"Posto splendido, servizio cortese e sorridente, cucina più che buona, prezzi onesti. Ci sono tornato dopo qualche anno, trovando una nuova gestione (molto cortese la precedente proprietaria, che mi ha dato le indicazioni per contattare i nuovi). Temevo il cambiamento, ma sono stato felicemente sorpreso: l'atmosfera è magica come sempre, il servizio molto accogliente, i piatti un giusto equilibrio tra tradizione e fantasia, con un accento sulla prima che sta benissimo. Perfetto per chiudere una passeggiata nel parco archeologico (nota: il giro completo si fa in due ore, non tre come vi dicono alla biglietteria), ma merita anche una passeggiata da se. Prezzi più che onesti."

"Ci sono stata oggi dopo una piacevole scarpinata nel parco archeologico naturalistico di Vulci. Servizio cordiale ambiente accogliente cucina casareccia leggermente rivisitata ma vogliamo parlare di tagliolini con burrata tartare di manzo e pomodorini confit?qualità delle materie prime cos'altro aggiungere ci tornerò sicuramente in autunno così con la scusa di mangiare le specialità di stagione visiterò anche le tombe della necropoli orientale"
