The story
Perched in the medieval hilltop village of Fumone, Taverna del Barone is the kind of place that feels like a discovery. Creator JustUs described it as “like being at grandma’s house,” and the menu delivers on that rustic promise: bruschetta, local pecorino, gnocchetto, and maltagliati con fagioli (a standout), alongside grilled chicken and sausage, all served in a historic stone setting with live cooking that reinforces the no-frills, family-friendly ethos.
The tasting-menu format lets the kitchen showcase simple but quality ingredients, from the corallina pasta to the ciambelline al vino (another thumbs-up). With a 4.7-star rating and a cozy, traditional atmosphere, this trattoria embodies the unpretentious hospitality of Ciociaria—a meal here feels less like dining out and more like being welcomed into someone’s home.

Dishes mentioned
Bruschetta
This little bruschetta with salted whole wheat bread, a drizzle of oil and rubbed garlic is so simple but it opened up a world of flavor for me. The bread is good, nicely toasted, and the garlic gives it a magnificent taste. It was just what we needed to start.
Corallina
This corallina, with that fat that melts in your mouth, is incredible. It tastes very sweet, like candy.
Pecorino
The pecorino is slightly aged, soft, good. It seems just made.
Gnocchetto
These homemade gnocchetti are fantastic. They melt in your mouth, soft and delicate. The potato is good, maybe from Avezzano, and the sauce is well made, with good pecorino on top. They are exactly what we expected from a place like this: homey and delicious.
Maltagliati con Fagioli
The maltagliati with beans is a super classic but rustic pasta e fagioli, as it should be here. The homemade egg pasta is al dente and the bean soup is very flavorful. I finished the plate in an instant, it was special, incredible.
