Extremely high-quality food with great service in a fantastic atmosphere. I can recommend this restaurant to everyone when they're in Civita. I foolishly tried something else first and wasted an evening doing so.
As for the food...
The starter consisted of a delicious ball of carrot, bread, and almonds in a delicious carrot sauce. Next came a kind of potato croquette with bacon in an oregano sauce. Wow. To finish, there were three varieties of pecorino and a local ham. We regretted only asking for half a portion of the starter. It was delicious.
For the main course, we had ragu bianco with homemade pasta, and for the second course, roast veal. The meat was divine and extremely tender. The sauce was light, and I drenched it all in the homemade bread. The homemade pasta was excellent. The ragu bianco was perfect.
``` We also ordered a great rosé from an excellent wine list (approx. 25 wines). The waiter gave us perfect advice. He was very friendly, and it was a pleasure to be served impeccably by him.
The portions are sized so that you can truly enjoy the classic Italian menu, consisting of an appetizer, first course, and second course, without feeling gluttonous or hungry at the end of the meal.
P.S. As a passionate amateur cook who has traveled extensively around the world, I have rarely been so impressed.
Buon appetito
P.S. The slight price difference compared to other restaurants is more than justified, because in the end, the service is simply many times better.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the restaurant L'oste d'Arberia, and I'm still thrilled with my dining experience. What truly sets this restaurant apart is its consistent focus on seasonal produce. From the moment the appetizer arrived, it was clear that freshness and quality are a priority.

A true experience of taste and hospitality!
From the first moment we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism: the atmosphere of the restaurant is intimate and refined, and the owner, Maria Anna, immediately proved to be a true hostess.
With grace and competence he accompanied us to discover the dishes of the day, describing them with passion and attention to detail. The love he puts into what he does is evident: each dish tells a story, expresses an identity, and arrives at the table with a care that conquers even before the taste.
The cuisine is simply excellent, made of authentic ingredients and preparations that respect tradition with a touch of personality. A perfect balance between authenticity and creativity.
An experience that we wholeheartedly recommend and that we can't wait to repeat. Congratulations to Maria Anna and all the staff!

Eccellenza pura! Uno dei miei luoghi del cuore, dove la cucina non si limita a raccontare il territorio, ma lo esalta al 100% con eleganza, creatività e una delicatezza fuori dagli schemi. Ogni piatto è un viaggio nei sapori autentici, reinterpretati con maestria. L’ambiente è semplicemente incantevole, il servizio impeccabile e l’ospitalità calda e genuina, fedele alle radici del luogo. Se siete in zona, non lasciatevelo sfuggire: un’esperienza che conquisterà tutti i vostri sensi!
