Trattoria Casa Rinacchio — Restaurant in Laval (administrative region)

When I first walked into this restaurant, I’ll admit, I had my doubts. The décor was simple, and the layout unremarkable—hardly the setting you’d expect for an unforgettable dining experience. But I couldn’t have been more wrong.

This is, without a doubt, the best Italian food I’ve ever had. The pizza was a masterpiece. The dough, with its subtle hints of yeast and olive oil, was cooked to perfection—crispy yet tender, bursting with authentic flavor. The vegetables were roasted beautifully, adding layers of complexity, and the crust? To die for. When I pulled out a slice, the cheese stretched endlessly, a visual and culinary delight. Exactly what you’d expect from a real pizza.

And then there was the pasta. I’ve never tasted a sauce so rich and perfectly balanced. It wasn’t just food—it was art on a plate.

The service matched the quality of the cuisine. The server was incredibly kind and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. When we needed more space, she effortlessly added the table next to ours without hesitation. She wasn’t just serving; she was also helping the chef, washing dishes, and somehow still managing to make every guest feel cared for. I am amazed by the sheer power these two have for running a restaurant with several tables occupied.

As we left, she even stepped outside to say goodbye from a distance—a simple but touching gesture that encapsulated the warmth of the entire experience.

This restaurant may not catch your eye at first glance, but it will capture your heart with its authenticity, exceptional food, and heartfelt service. It’s a place where beautiful memories are created, and for that, I am deeply grateful.

Make sure you have had all your vaccines before going here!!! This place is filthy, disgusting and is nowhere near what Italian food resembles! From the cheap exposed refrigeration with uncovered old lasagnas for take out to the horrible decor. You are surrounded by extension cords powering Christmas lights while you eat. A complete disgrace to my roots and what Italian food really is. Don’t do it just don’t eat here your stomach will thank you. If you look a few comments down you will see a review saying “Amazing” written by the owner/chef himself....I believe that says it all. Please go eat elsewhere in beautiful...

I just had to review this place immediately after eating this takeout meal: it was that good. The homemade soup made my heart sing. It was hot, expertly seasoned, and full of a perfect medley of vegetables. Because it is so tasty yet wholesome I plan to order it often.

Although I usually don't eat pasta, the one we ordered (shells with rosé sauce and prosciutto) was so tasty I could barely stop eating it.

The owners are kind and accommodating and obviously put a lot of love into their products. We plan to...
