Nestled in a charming setting, Munno offers a delightful take on Italian favorites, showcasing thoughtful preparation and attention to detail.
We began with the Giardiniera della Casa and the Insalata Pere, Pecorino e Noci. The house-made giardiniera featured a colorful mix of pickled vegetables, including cauliflower, radicchio, fennel, and more, perfectly balanced with a tangy vinegar base and a subtle hint of spice from Calabrian chili. The salad was equally enjoyable, combining wild arugula, radicchio, Bartlett pear, aged pecorino Toscano, and walnuts with a balsamic vinaigrette for a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
For the main courses, the Mezze Maniche alla Carbonara was a standout. Made gluten-free upon request, the noodles were so well-crafted that I wouldn’t have known they were gluten-free. The artisanal short rigatoni was perfectly al dente, coated in a smooth sauce of guanciale, egg yolk, pecorino romano, and black pepper. The Circo Massimo pizza rounded out the meal with its expertly crafted crust—a delightful balance of chewiness and crispness—and satisfying toppings.
Munno offers a warm and welcoming experience, with dishes that are thoughtfully prepared and enjoyable from start to finish. It’s a lovely spot for a good Italian meal that leaves you content and satisfied.
