La Palomba Review

A giant wooden Pinocchio marks the entrance to this unpretentious place, where sticking to the "La Casa Consiglia" ("The House Suggests") part of the menu will guarantee a memorable meal of good home cooking. After putting away a plate of warm crostini misti, try one of the specialty homemade umbrichelli dishes, either tartufati (in light butter-and-truffle sauce with fresh truffle grated on top) or all'arrabbiata (if it isn't piccante enough for you, add peperoncini-spiked olive oil). You can cool your mouth afterward with a simple omelet stuffed with cheeses or order the divine filetto alla cardinale (beef filet cooked in cardinal-colored red wine).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
