Piacere Molise

The Piacere Molise restaurant was founded on June 16, 2001, by Franco Ricci, a restaurateur since 1963. Born in Pietrabbondante, Molise, and moved to Rome at a young age, after 38 years of experience with his brothers, he decided to continue his business independently with his wife Angela and children Mauro, Fabiana, and Ilaria. In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, the chef offers a splendid fusion between the typical dishes of Roman tradition and the genuine ones of Molise tradition.
