La Taverna del Buttero — Restaurant in Formia

Everything was in the average, meat was good but still on the average. The fact that pushes me to give 2/5 is that, despite the averageness of the place, prices were mad. 100€ each for a steak one entree diveded by two and a bottle of wine, the cheapest. Yeah, we took one of the best meat they had, but prices are still mad, I repeat meat was on the average. I ate Kobe steak for that price at a Michelin starred restaurant while this place, again, was just on the average, except fo the prices, that are a lot inflated for the place, the service and the food (we even ate with paper towels). And lastly be very careful. Don't trust them when they advice you (obv they push you on the most expensive even if you want something else) and when they present you the meat take care about the weight, I think they push you to take heavier steaks specially if you take expensive ones, the one they gave us was enough for three people to eat! In fact there were leftovers. We just trusted, don't do the same mistake. Be very careful when...

We had a great dinner here. The restaurant is cosy and relaxed. My wife and I speak very little Italian, the staff were very helpful and patient with us, and we had the exact meal that we wanted. I had read some of the reviews before we arrived and noticed some of the comments regarding the price. My wife had fillet steak from the menu, I chose a "prize-cut" from the dry ageing fridge.

I read a comment in the reviews, someone claiming to have eaten Kobe steak at a Michelin starred restaurant at the same price.......no way! Not on this planet! I had one of the more expensive cuts, Kobe/A5 Wagyu will cost you 4-5 times more to cook it yourself! Without a Michelin star chef! For me, this was a very good steak at a price I would expect to pay at any good steak restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would not hesitate to...

Find as Turistic restaurant even if suggested as local place. We went for steaks and rounds of starters. The mozzarella was amazing but found the rest bit poor in amount and quality. Steaks quality were good but lack of ingredients stated on menu. Basically the sauces were basic and nothing special. But staff were very helpful and tried to sort it out as much as they could. Wine list was bit short, probably because a busy day so totally understandable. But to be honest, staff try very hard to give the...
