You know those somewhat grey Sundays, the ones where you don’t feel like doing anything of your own? You are hungry but zero desire to cook and the only thing you would like to do would be to stand in front of the fireplace with a nice glass of red. On the Sunday when we discovered thePorrino brothers tavern in Caserta it was just one of those Sundays.
The first bitter cold, the desire for home cooking, a good wine and 4 chats with friends around the table…
ThePorrino brothers tavern is a relaxed place where you feel at home. The street-facing windows and warm lights are reminiscent of parisian intimate and collected coffee environments. Inside many small objects of a simple but always pleasant everyday life: a piano, paintings, a large clock, the fireplace on…
We choose a good red, full-bodied and well aged, a Taurasi from 2009 that will accompany chatter, laughter and a menu of earth.
Our starter includes a platter of local cured meats and cheeses, eggplant parmigiana medallions, a potato pie.

For the first course we taste a few first courses of land: scialatielli with walnuts and cheese shaded with rum,scialatielli with zucchini and again a spaghetti with fresh and juicy piennolo cherry tomatoes. The thing that struck us the most was the possibility to really eat all together: in fact, despite the different pasta formats we had chosen, this was lowered at the same time for us all so that we were served at the same time and enjoy a cooking made then at the time and not “resumed” at the time of ordering.
The taste of each dish was simple and genuine, as homemade.
Second we order a mixture of meat for two people that included chicken, sausage, fillet and lots of grilled vegetables, boiled potatoes and an excellent accompanying cream. The owner and chef of thePorrino brothers’ tavern also brings us a dish with fillet tastings, very soft as butter.
Finally, we conclude with some very good desserts also those of which: tiramisu by the spoon, profiteroles and chocolate cake. The selection of liqueurs and digestives also surprises us: all prepared at home by the owner’s mother.
The prices of this tavern? perfectly related to the quality offered… maybe even a little hair lower than it should be.
In addition, we have discoveredthat the Fratelli Porrino tavern offers “off-menu” dishes every day for all those who are passing through, perhaps visiting the Palace or those who want to enjoy good dishes such as those at home on lunch break.
