"Ho trascorso una splendida serata al ristorante il casale pomodoro e basilico con la mia famiglia e alcuni amici. Il locale è situato in una zona tranquilla e panoramica di Palestrina, con un ampio parcheggio. L'ambiente interno risulta accogliente e caldo, con arredi in legno, Il menù offre una vasta scelta di piatti della cucina italiana, preparati con ingredienti freschi e di qualità. Tra le specialità del posto, ci sono gli gnocchetti a co' de soreca cacio e pepe e guanciale croccante , un piatto tipico della zona, saporito e cremoso. Abbiamo provato anche la pizza con prosciutto e mozzarella di bufala. La tagliata di manzo con lardo di colonnata era molto tenera e succosa. Per concludere in dolcezza, abbiamo assaggiato la sbriciolata ai frutti di bosco. Il personale è stato molto presente e attento, senza essere invadente. Ci ha consigliato bene sui piatti e sui vini. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo-quantità è eccellente, considerando la quantità e la qualità del cibo servito. Consiglio vivamente questo ristorante a chi cerca un posto dove mangiare bene, in un'atmosfera familiare."

"We had dinner on Monday night. We were five people. We arrive at 20:30, after an hour we take orders, wait 45 minutes for the mixed appetizer with:salu, cheese, grilled vegetables and frittatina. It's hot! Hot cold meat, hot cheese! Let's go wrong. about 22:30 we ask for the first, 40 minutes have passed since the start had shot us. a pinsa arrives, after 20 minutes arrive 2 before, after another 20 minutes one before and after 15 minutes the last first. Biblical times for everything! and we're talking about a Monday night, there were 5 tables occupied. 3 people take redones, a mistake; come lukewarm and hard for in a reasonable time (12 jets! We order 2 desserts, those arrive within 10 minutes and were good. I wouldn't recommend it."

"Bello il locale, caratteristica la griglia, curato il cliente sin dall 'accoglienza e consigli sul menù. Mi è sembrata buona l 'organizzazione della cucina, nonostante sia un sabato sera con posti al completo e menù dalla pizza alla carta. Ottima la cacio e pepe sia nella cottura della pasta che nel condimento con una salsa densa al punto giusto. Ottima la brace sia come taglio di carne che come cottura e buona la presentazione. Ma, e l 'ho lasciata volutamente per ultima, bravissima e simpatica la ragazza in sala. Ha gestito quasi autonomamente tutta la sala, distribuendo sorrisi a bambini e persone anziane e tenendo tranquillamente testa alle 'pretese ' di alcuni commensali ai limiti dell 'ignoranza. Un posto sicuramente da ritornarci anche per un giusto rapporto qualità prezzo."

"This restaurant can be found off the Corso Vittorio Emannuele with an drive up from the road and up to the restaurant car park with plenty of parking spaces. At the doorway to the restaurant we were met by a receptionist who the led us to a lift which took us up to the first floor where the restaurant is located where we were greeted by a pleasant waiter who after a short period of time found us a table for 6 people. At the time the restaurant was full and we were shown to an upstairs dining area with just two other tables occupied. The service was very attentive, if a little too quick when asking if we had chosen from the very extensive menu. The wine was excellent and we ordered a bottle of the local red wine and a bottle of local white, both reasonably priced at around €18 whilst we considered the menu we ate bruschetta with fresh tomatoes. We decided, as a table to start with cold Italian meats which were served to share, then went for the house speciality which when translated is pasta to the form. This is a speciality of the house which is a spaghetti made with fresh tomatoes, bacon and cream served from a pecorino round. This was delicious and highly recommended. For the main I chose the grilled Tuna stake, which for me was a little over as I like it pink in the middle, but still excellent, served with vegetables of the day. Overall this is an excellent restaurant which is welcoming of both adults and children. Although this restaurant is not a cheap meal out it is still good value and I would recommend it for an evening out with friends and family."

The atmosphere is intimate and sophisticated, perfect for a romantic dinner or an evening with friends. The starters offer a wide range of choices between sea and land. Particularly notable are the amberjack carpaccio with wine caramel and red onion, which surprises for its delicacy and balance of flavours, and the red prawn tartare on a bed of avocado, stracciatella and mullet caviar, a fresh and sophisticated dish. . Lovers of more traditional flavors can opt for the Giudia-style artichoke with raw red prawns and colonnata lard, which expertly combines simple and fine ingredients. Among the first courses, the spaghetti cacio e pepe with raw prawns and lime is a creative interpretation of a Roman classic, while the guitar with lobster is a rich and indulgent dish. Calamarata with croaker fillet à la cacciatora is an excellent choice for those looking for a tasty and well-balanced dish. Absolutely not to be missed are the small handmade fettuccine with truffles. They are heavenly. For the second courses, the menu offers delights such as turbot fillet in a potato and pachino crust, where the crunchiness of the potatoes pairs perfectly with the softness of the fish. The lamb rump cooked at low temperature with pecorino cream and sautéed chicory is a dish that embodies tradition with a modern touch, while the Catalan shellfish dish with lobster, scampi and prawns is a true triumph for seafood lovers. ​. To conclude, the restaurant's desserts are the perfect ending to an exceptional meal. The millefeuille with wild berry mascarpone cream and the pistachio and white chocolate semifreddo are among the most popular choices, offering a balance of sweetness and crunchy texture.
