We recently dined at Ostaria Pignatelli and were thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. The meatballs were absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and left us wanting more. It's no surprise that this restaurant has earned a Michelin 2024 recognition—well-deserved for the quality and attention to detail in their dishes. However, we did notice a few flies around our table, which was a bit distracting. A simple fix like installing a fan could help make the dining experience even more enjoyable. Despite this minor issue, the food and service were exceptional, and we would definitely recommend it!

What makes me wonder about this restaurant is the variety of options you can have and all is so good and delicious.
From starters to desserts. I loved the parmigiana, Motzarella, Pepperoni ripieni and also sussages.
The staffs are so kind and welcoming.
I was sitting in the terrace and was warm and convenient.

The food and experience in general was very good but my pasta dish (spaghettoni alle vongole) it very salty; I didn’t finish it because of that.
Also we asked for advice on the wine and unfortunately the waiters weren’t prepared to advise. All in all I would come back as the general experience was very good!

Having tried other recommended local eateries and been disappointed by their offerings, I didn't have great expectations here either...but I was totally wrong.
Delicious food, well seasoned, rich and and nicely presented. Very pleasant service also.
Probably the best meal of our weeks visit here. Thoroughly recommend.

We popped in due to Michelin recommendations….First time we have been let down.
Food and service to be desired.
Only thing worth 2 stars was the pumpkin flowers stuffed with yummy ricotta.
Sad experience don’t waste your money and time.
Wait staff not amused with customers.
