Il Laghetto - SANTA MARIA DEL MOLISE

As a goat in the direction of carpinone, before adventure to the falls, we stopped at lunch here (I had booked in the morning). The appetizer fills the view by quantity and colors and delights the palate; just choose from which food to leave and then enjoy the meal. many vegetables and vegetables proposed following seasonality and good local products. spontaneous herbs and small wild flowers enrich many of the courses, giving an extra leash (how is fresh and aromatic the fennel? although I was completely satiated, I could not leave without having experienced at least one first dish (reduced portion, kindly proposed given my hesitation, and culinary curiosity satisfied by succulent patchari). Sweets? crafts and generous portions (a spoonful of cheescake with apricot jam pleasantly concluded my lunch). Wide is the list of digestives, made with plants and fruits of the territory. I give the maximum of the score, since I appreciate the enhancement of simplicity, for the full and good flavors, because we were well.

Passing by a holiday, some friends have advised us this place as a reference point to try the flavors of Molisani and we booked well in advance not to let us miss this opportunity. We ate outdoors under a pleasant veranda. When the appetizers started, it seemed that the courses did not end (we counted about twenty) all one more good than the other from the spectacular beef language, to the fresh ricottines, to the grilled vegetables really excellent ance the first and second, without counting the choice of homemade liqueurs at the end of the meal. Prices more than honest and very kind staff (both the room boys and the owner). An excellent excuse to return to visit the molyse.

We last visited this restaurant in 2019 following a family trip to Spinete with sister and brother in law, we returned today same crew plus my in laws family that lives locally. We popped in for lunch, they set us up outside, thankfully we had a light breakfast!! Food was outstanding and it kept coming, it was delicious. We had antipasti, must of been at least eight plates, filled by gnocchi and pasta. Washed down with local beer and wine, what’s not to like !! Fantastic service and great food a must visit for anyone in the area.

Nice clean place. Beautiful outdoor garden. Best to make a reservation. Food is great. There is a menu that they just bring you the food, or you can order from a menu.

I’ve had the pleasure of eating here several times, it is my go to restaurant in the province of Isernia. The food is always fresh and amazing and prices more than reasonable. Now that I live in Santa Maria del Molise, I make sure to bring any visitors, so they can eat like the locals.
