What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Taverna Del Metallo is highly praised for its unique gothic tavern atmosphere, heavy metal soundtrack, and hearty, well-prepared meat dishes. Diners consistently commend the friendly and efficient service, along with an impressive beer selection. While the food and ambiance are major draws, the menu's strong emphasis on pork and meat means it's not ideal for vegetarians.
"I stayed in one of the rooms upstairs and made a reservation to the tavern twice during my three night stay (it was so good that we had to go back). They service was awesome, we never had a problem making a reservation, and the food and beer were delicious. It's the best restaurant the area. The others look too touristy or not of good quality. This place sells some great food and the beer selection is one of the best I've seen. Beware, most of their menu is pork/pig options, although I do not eat pork products I was able to walk away from that restaurant full and happy with some great options to choose from. Though this is not a place for vegans or vegetarians."

"We ate dinner here based on the many amazing reviews and we’re not disappointed. Like others, we were slightly tired of the touristy places and looking for something authentic and original. Taverna did not disappoint. Best service I have had in Italy by people that care and love what they do. We were offered some amazing local wine. We shared several plates and all were perfectly cooked, flavourful and tasty…not to mention very well priced. A truly memorable and outstanding experience in a county of amazing food. By the way, I was a bit worried that the music would be overpowering (never been to a heavy metal restaurant before) and it was unobtrusive and nicely playing in the background. Bravo team. Great meal and experience."

"Amazing pub a must have visit when in the area. The staff was just great, super friendly and welcoming. You felt like they wanted you to enjoy your evening.
The beer just as good cold and refreshing! I had the scottish beef stew with veggies and omg i have NEVER eaten something like this. So tasty and delicious the meat melted in my mouth.
My friend had the gnocchi which were also delicious.
Stepping into this pub you feel like you left italy, music, ambience and overall atmosphere were an absolute joy."
