Agriristoro Fratelli Pira In Ischia di castro

A beautiful location in the open countryside, immersed in one of the wildest places in Tuscia, nearby there is an old Etruscan cut that takes us to the Olpeta stream, we are close to the Strozzavolpe waterfalls, beautiful, a short distance away there is an enormous cave visual impact the devil's den. The restaurant is a large hall, very welcoming without too many frills, in summer there is also an external pergola, in the center there are islands that support the buffet starters. The cuisine is typically Sardinian, the starters as I was saying are buffet style, you can take as many as you want, the first and second courses are the right portions, the service is excellent, absolutely nothing is missing, the only thing if I really have to say it is the road not asphalted and if it rains too much there are several puddles and it is best to go very slowly and when you leave (mostly in the dark) the shortest stretch of dirt road to get to the asphalt road is not well signposted. Still a great restaurant!

Amazing experience with the open buffet! I could have just done with only the buffet and not eating the primi and secundi, though they were also excellent. The place is a bit hard to find and get to, but well worth it!

Enthusiastic about the experience, both from a culinary and hospitality point of view. Excellent quality products. An assortment of buffet starters that has no equal in terms of variety of ingredients and preparations. Top notch cured meats and cheeses. Wide selection of wines and shop to purchase the farm's products. We would need a buffet-only menu proposal to be able to enjoy it all!! Highly recommended, a reason to return to the area!

A corner of Sardinia in the Maremma

gypsy among friends discovered by pure chance a very welcome surprise to try and try again

Splendid farmhouse with delicious food. Incredible selection of cheeses, one better than the other. Kind and familiar welcome and attentive to the customer

First of all: I had already tried the excellent cheese from Fratelli Pira in the star restaurant "La Parolina" (near Acquapendente) and in the Ristorante "Unicorno" in Farnese - and had also previously bought it in the attached shop. The Restaurant: The drive to the restaurant is a little adventure. You can reach the beautifully located and elegantly furnished restaurant via dirt roads and the smallest streets. (It was a cool spring day, there are tables outside too, but we were inside. I don't know yet whether they'll be set.) What's important: Nothing is less than three courses - so you can't drive here and only order a Primo . The prices for the three courses? I don't remember exactly, but moderately. Was it 30 or 35 euros? What is sensational: the cheese selection. There are probably around 50 types of cheese, all beautifully decorated on round tables, including sensational blue cheese. Lots of sheep, but also cows and goats. There's also sausage and salad, as well as all sorts of other Sardinian delicacies - you can have as much of everything as you want. There are then three or four Sardinian primi and three or four secondi to choose from, which are presented to you by the very attentive service. (Knowledge of Italian is a big advantage.) Everything is very neat, primi and secondi are interesting, but not sensational. In addition to the cheese selection, the wine selection is sensational. At least 200 items from all over Italy from around 20 euros per bottle are on the menu or are presented on a wine rack in the restaurant. (Which surprised me a bit. Upright bottles in a room with an inconsistent temperature. So be it.) Overall: An experience. Not for every day, but definitely every now and then: Pira is worth a (small) trip. Grazie mille. We'll be back. P.S. Check online to see which number you can use to make a reservation.

Lovely place! The food was delicious! An exceptional variety of homemade cheeses!!! Highly recommended

Complimenti a tutti, Accoglienza ai tavoli,servizio impeccabile, Ambiente accogliente. Magnifico il buffet con tutti...Tutti prodotti fatti in casa veramente ottimi. Formaggi al top... Infinita scelta dei vini... Seadas ottima e distillati a concludere in bellezza... Già prenotato per nuovo pranzo anche se lontani da Roma ..consigliatissimo!

An authentic culinary experience! The dishes are prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, typical of the Sardinian tradition. seeing the animals raised is a unique experience. The roast suckling pig is tender and tasty, not to mention the fried lamb. The seadas are a true masterpiece. The staff is courteous and the environment is welcoming and familiar. Highly recommended for those who want to savor the true flavors of Sardinia!
