After being bounced from almost all the restaurants in the city, we were welcomed with extreme kindness by the owner, even though it was almost closing time. A gesture that not only saved our dinner, but also the evening. The place is welcoming and comfortable, and everything was made even more pleasant by a simply delicious pasta dish. We didn't want to keep you any longer, but it was a shame not to be able to taste other specialties on the menu. We will definitely be back to do it! Highly recommended.

We went by intuition and there couldn't have been a better choice... a welcoming and typical environment with a light background of Italian music. Mrs. Annamaria is very professional and friendly like all the staff who welcomes you into the house with a smile.
We took the menus of the day, one fish and one meat and we were fully satisfied with each course. We will happily return with friends ❤️

Word of mouth from a friend of mine recommended this restaurant to me on New Year's Eve and I and my friends were certainly not disappointed.
90s trattoria a few meters from the beating heart of Viterbo: don't focus on appearances.
Dishes with generous and delicious portions. I absolutely recommend the starter for 2 people, plentiful and quality. As a first course I took the tonnarelli with Viterbo ragù which, for those who don't know like me, is a sausage ragù with fennel, very good and abundant.
Super house wine: good and very honest price (1l €10).
The only slightly negative note was the owner who we saw repeatedly scolding the waitress who was doing her best to serve the tables (the place was full as it was a party). We felt sorry for her, we hope that next time she will be more understanding.

Had lunch on New Year's Day with friends.
An environment that reflects the name, a sort of "cave" with brick arches and some curious details. Overall it is welcoming, perhaps a little small on busy days.
We ordered appetizers of mixed platters, bruschetta, cured meats, cheeses and fried food. All very tasty and varied. Maybe I would have liked some mozzarella to tone down the saltiness, but you can't complain.
First course: Tonnarelli alla Viterbese.
Absolutely recommended for its uniqueness and flavor, the fennel note was a plus. Very generous in quantity (maybe I would have put a little less to leave room for the desserts).
The second course is a sliced beef with porcini mushrooms. Excellent and well cooked meat, tasty mushrooms. Also in this case the portion is very generous.
All accompanied by an excellent house red wine, 10 euros for 1 lt. it's a must have.
Friendly and professional staff.
Bill: some items increased due to the day of celebration, but according to the regular menu, excellent prices in proportion to the quality and quantity of the food offered.
Absolutely recommended!

LOCATION: small venue but with a good seating capacity. Very pretty with stone walls and arches.
MENU: we had dinner on December 31st so there was a specific menu for the evening, but you usually found traditional dishes from Lazio and Rome.
We had an appetizer to share which included various cold cuts, cheeses and croutons, simple and good. I ate tonnarelli alla Viterbo, a full-bodied and delicious sauce. My friends, on the other hand, had the Roman strips and the lemon scallop, both good.
Generous portions!
SERVICE: a little slow to take the order, but then it was fast in serving the dishes.
BILL: very cheap for the quantity of dishes offered.
I recommend booking as it is small.

Excellent restaurant, with typical Viterbo cuisine. The pappardelle with wild boar was truly a spectacle as was the fillet with porcini mushrooms.
