La Patata Bollente - SARNANO

We eaten here a few times now and we love it. From the menu which changes regularly and fabulous food to the delicious house red wine to the super friendly welcoming staff. Come in the winter it’s cosy and warm and in the summer eat on the terrace and admire the view. It is one of our favourite restaurants in an region of great food.

Fantastic restaurant with excellent food and great service. The pasta is superb and try the truffles. Will definitely go back. Well worth trying.

The location is wonderful, giving far reaching views of Sarnano and the surrounding area. Excellent Antipasti, decent pasta, superb boar steak, excellent tiramisu great staff, we’ll be back

Had heard great things about this restaurant. Nice shared starter of cheese and meat, as is fairly standard for restaurants in the area. We shared a pistachio, burrata and tomato ravioli that was simply sublime. Mains of lamb were very disappointing lamb over grilled with chicory which was very burnt adding to the overly bitter flavour from the chicory. We ordered the Patata Bollante. What a disappointment for a namesake. It was a poorly cooked Hasselback potato even choosing the wrong variety of potato (a floury white potato). To compound the problem it was roasted ‘en papillote”. It was a claggy, bland affair that I’d probably discard in my own kitchen as an experiment too far ….. Hasselback En Papillote Dessert was a nice hazelnut Mille feuille and wine and water and coffee Service was slow but acceptable Our meal cost €80 including tip which felt fair had the cooking just been a bit stronger On the whole this was a fairly average meal, some notable highlights but secondi was a bit of a misadventure. I’d suggest sticking to the primi (pasta) which seemed excellent and desserts Average overall

Lovely location with beautiful mountain views of the Sibilinis. Quaint restaurant with a very friendly owner who mentioned it was fish day so we said great and that was our order! She brought fresh shrimp and clam appetizers followed by pasta with shellfish and then more fish on its own for a second plate. House Chardonnay went very well with the meal. We’ll definitely be back!
