This place rocked. Located just above the Basilica of St. Francis, Trattoria al Camino Vecchio offers genuine Italian food. I know...needle scratch on the vinyl record. You're thinking what does a handsome American of Filipino-Hawaiian descent know about genuine Italian food? Well I get to say genuine because my Italian-born driver Rolando (see my review of his services) said it was!
Service was incredibly friendly and this was pretty amazing because there was no English in our transaction. We all tried our best to order and say pleasantries in Italian. I would like to add that Rolando did come by and help clarify a mix up on my wine order (I almost got a whole bottle to myself oops). I drink, but not like that! But the host and waitress were soooo nice!
I got the tagliatelle all' Assisana, a scrumptious fresh pasta with porcini mushrooms, pancetta, in a light aromatic tomato sauce.
My wife and kid shared a simple pasta marinara plate and a chicken stewed in tomato sauce. Another shared a margherita pizza with her cousin. Everyone was happy.
Definitely recommend. read more
