We came to eat through The Fork and were really happy. The food was excellent, with a varied and refined menu.\Compliments to the Chef. ### Marco Andreini: 3.0/5, 8 months ago > On Valentine's Day, we had dinner, and I have to say the food was excellent, but the service didn't depend on the wait staff, but on the organization.\We arrived at 7:50 PM at the owner's express request and left at 11:00 PM for four courses, some of which could have been pre-ordered.\I repeat, the food was excellent, but the organization unfortunately needs rethinking... Either they take fewer tables or they organize themselves better.\A customer who doesn't complain never comes back.\Thanks again for the good food, but catering involves many things, including the details. ### Alain Laperrière: 5.0/5, 9 months ago > Monday, January 19, 2026. This was our first meal after arriving at the airport from Canada. I had chosen the perfect spot for lunch on this trip to Campania. It allowed me to break up the drive. But that wasn't all! We ate the best risotto and beef tartare of our lives! Every dish, as well as the homemade tiramisu and cappuccino, was a feast for the eyes and a pure delight! The welcome was very friendly and the service outstanding. I imagine that in the summer, eating in the cave must be wonderful! Long live this upscale restaurant! 7 photos attached. ### theo rocci: 5.0/5, 10 months ago > The best in Valmontone and beyond.\Magnificent presentation, top-quality flavors and ingredients.\Every time we return to this restaurant, we're amazed by their ability to continually improve.\I highly recommend it! 3 photos attached. ### Mauro Lovi: 5.0/5, 10 months ago > It's incredible to find a restaurant of this caliber in a town outside Rome. Excellent food, a great atmosphere, excellent professionalism, and excellent wine selection. It's certainly not for everyone, but the quality/price ratio is absolutely in line. ### erik ciprani: 4.0/5, 11 months ago > 👌 ### Stef Scara: 5.0/5, a year ago > Back to this little restaurant, and once again, an experience to treasure!\This time on a Saturday night, the restaurant was almost fully booked, yet the service was impeccable, the atmosphere intimate and refined, and the food sublime.\We were delighted to discover new culinary offerings and appreciate the new accolades received by this young team of professionals led by Chef Alessio.\It's truly a pleasure to be pampered by this small but highly original restaurant on the outskirts of Rome.\Congratulations, indeed! ### Roberto Terranova: 5.0/5, a year ago > I was in Valmontone for work,\I had lunch at Specus and immediately felt at home.\Alessio and Flavia welcomed me as if we'd always known each other.\The atmosphere was clean and quiet, and the cuisine was authentic and delicious.\It will be a destination for three lunches and dinners.\My compliments to Alessio and Flavia.\Thank you for the wonderful lunch. **Owner reply (a year ago):** > ❣️ ### andrea foiano: 5.0/5, a year ago > Pleasant surprise. Fantastic ribs and desserts. ### Fabio Colace: 5.0/5, a year ago > Every now and then we decide to try a restaurant near Rome, and in this case I have to say it was definitely worth it.\The place is very charming and well-decorated. The outdoor cave, where you can eat on summer evenings, is very charming.\The service was courteous and attentive throughout the evening.\Moving on to the menu, one of the things we enjoyed most was definitely the sweetbreads (excellently cooked and paired beautifully with tomatoes and asparagus).\The first courses were also very good: the traditional dish, rice with chamomile, goat's cheese, and wild herbs, was definitely worth trying. The spaghetti cacio e pepe, which is softened by the acidity of the bergamot, was also very good (in my opinion, a little more could have been added).\The pork ribs were very tender and well-marinated. We particularly enjoyed the hibiscus petal consommé of the guinea fowl breast.\The quality/price ratio was more than satisfactory considering the quality of the ingredients used.\Overall, a very positive experience. ### serena cruciani: 5.0/5, a year ago > Welcoming and relaxing atmosphere for a quiet or romantic evening. Excellent, attentive, kind, and welcoming wait staff.\There were three of us, my son and my sister-in-law. We ate wonderfully, from appetizers to dessert. The hazelnut and salted caramel parfait was truly a delight.\Delicious appetizers, sliced ​​steak, and wonderful roast beef.\The wine list is also excellent.\In conclusion, I will definitely return because the love the chef puts into preparing the dishes wins you over at first bite.
