A lovely spot for lunch, off the main road and in a beautiful street in the old square. Gluten free pasta available, the carbonara was delicious. The shrimp and Truffle pasta were enjoyed as well, a perfect last lunch before heading back to the airport.

A super friendly and kind team welcomed us here. We hadn't booked but we got lucky and were offered a table outside (it was only February but so warm). We shared a starter that was as colourful as the street we were sitting in and delicious. Amazing pastas and homemade tarts, I don't have a sweet tooth but the apple, cinnamon and walnut tart was amazing. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended. Btw, everyone spoke English and were happy to help with our choices.

We had lunch here after visiting the Ancient Roman archaeological site. It was in a lovely (traffic free) street, food was excellent and very good value. Just a lovely lunch

I recently ate at this restaurant with my partner and it was absolutely fantastic! The restaurant is situated in an historic part of town, near an old castle and church. The atmosphere here was wonderful as was the rich history which was exhibited around the interior restaurant including original stone exposures and frescoes. Overall, there was a very welcoming feel and the service provided to us was faultless. The food we ate was absolutely delicious! We tried various pastas, grilled sausages, meatballs and the tiramisu. Each were perfect! I would highly recommend eating here!

Amazing family owned Roman cuisine. Exactly what you are looking for in a good restaurant with a very friendly owner. Food is made from scratch with great ingredients. Some of the best entrees we had.
