The story
Located on via Ponte Gregoriano 1 in Tivoli, just outside Guidonia Montecelio, Al Madrigale | Nuova Cucina Rurale brings a refined sensibility to the Roman countryside. The restaurant’s name—"new rural cuisine"—signals its ambition: to elevate local traditions through precision and creativity, without losing the warmth of the land.
The dining room is air-conditioned and understated, allowing the food to take center stage. The kitchen, guided by a philosophy of respect for ingredients and seasonality, produces plates that are both rooted and surprising. While specific dishes are not detailed in available materials, the Michelin inspectors awarded the restaurant one star in 2026, citing "high quality cooking" as a hallmark of the experience.
This recognition places Al Madrigale among a select group of destinations in the Lazio region where modern cuisine meets genuine terroir. The cooking is clean, deliberate, and free of unnecessary flourish—a reflection of the rural landscape that surrounds it.
For those seeking a meal that balances technical skill with a sense of place, Al Madrigale offers a quiet, confident alternative to the bustling Roman dining scene. It is a restaurant that lets its ingredients and its setting speak, and the Michelin star confirms that conversation is worth listening to.
