Le Scuderie de L’ Antinoro

I’ve been several times to Antinoro in the past 5 years and I’ve always eaten very well. Lately I’ve noticed their menu has gotten fancier, more gourmet and the dishes are very well presented. I’ve only eaten pizza there the past few times but the dishes I’ve seen going by to the other tables are amazing, 5-​star quality! Their pizza is excellent but I’ve also had seafood, meat and pastas and all have left me very satisfied. Their ingredients are fresh and the chef has a creative flair that shows through. The service is impeccable, their waiters are professional and friendly. The reason I give them 4 stars and not 5 is the ambience. This restaurant is located in I believe what was once the horse stables of a large estate of one of the area’s ancient noble families. The main dining room is expansive with high ceilings. Although well furnished and pleasant I feel it’s a bit cold and impersonal. The lighting should be warmer, perhaps some candles on the table, some nice jazz music in the background could make the atmosphere more intimate. There is a smaller adjacent dining room for those ordering full meals (not pizza) and it’s much cozier. There’s a fireplace in this room with a couch in front and is the perfect dining experience for chilly evenings. The restaurant also has other rooms and outdoor spaces where they host banquets, weddings and other events. All in all, highly recommendable for the excellent food!
