Ristorante Pizzeria Il Carro — Restaurant in Pratola Peligna

Awful experience.. the establishment is run by an extremely young staff who are most likely paid peanuts . Had ordered a half litre of house rosè . It was vinegar !!! I mentioned to the waiter he said I won’t be able to remove it off the bill . I said then you drink it and tell me otherwise . Then he said the red one is better . I decided on going with a glass of white . I’ve been here before and always try and give it the benefit of the doubt . But every time there is always something wrong . The owners obviously won’t pay anymore to get a decent staff that knows how to work the tables . Such a shame .. we ended up here as the other place we tend to go to was booked being a Friday . I should have thought Friday night not being booked isn’t a good sign . To top the entire experience when I went to go and pay there was no one at the counter. Waited at least 10 minutes and when I asked for someone I was told to be patient. I think my patient left my body when I received vinegar as wine !!!...

Food was good, not great. The antipasto board looked fancy but lacking pizzazz. Should have had more true italian selections. Lots of protein. The pear was incredible extremely flavorful. The ricotta was outstanding but the chips could have been avoided. We both had only the antipasto and it was plenty of food. The cheese selection could have had more variation including pecorino. The wine was great. The cafe lacked flavor, change brands. The bread delicious. Overall, good. Young kids as servers. There was lipstick on the glass of wine which I told her about and rather than bring a new glass, she through out the glass of wine. She could have put that in a new glass. Not very professional or...

Premessa: do cinque stelle perché non se ne possono dare sei. Dopo un weekend in Abruzzo nel quale, per un motivo o per l'altro, i locali sperimentati erano stati in qualche modo deludenti, prima di tornare a Roma oggi siamo rimasti molto piacevolmente sorpresi da questo ristorante che ci era stato consigliato da più parti anche da fuori Pratola. Domenica a pranzo alle 14, tavoli quasi del tutto pieni, locale vecchio stampo. Abbiamo preso, aspettando una ventina di minuti, due primi: pappardelle del carro (sono maltagliati al tartufo, porcini e guanciale) e ravioli ricotta e spinaci al sugo di pomodoro. Ci siamo innamorati dei maltagliati! I ravioli anche molto buoni (giusto il sugo era un po' insipido), ma la vera consolazione è stata la carne: una bistecca di vitello che si scioglieva letteralmente in bocca e un arrosto misto davvero fenomenale, dentro il quale c'erano anche due arrosticini, solo due ma con una cottura di gran lunga migliore dei 20 mangiati altrove la sera prima. Persino le patatine fritte con la buccia erano eccezionali. Alla fine, da golosi c'è stata indecisione totale davanti al frigo dei dolci, con una selezione davvero fotonica (ho ciondolato per un quarto d'ora davanti a mille tiramisù e cheesecake prima di decidere), e un amaro portato in un bicchiere ghiacciato. Penso che torneremo apposta da Roma per qualche pranzo domenicale sul quale andare a colpo sicuro, anche perché i prezzi sono assolutamente più bassi...
