Osteria Vigna In Casperia

My wife and I had been missing from Casperia for too many years, ever since the birth of our first child. For three years we had the privilege of living in a splendid house in the center of the town, and we promised ourselves several times to return to relive the unforgettable moments spent there. Finally, last Sunday, we decided to spend a day in Casperia with a couple of our dear friends. My friend, a fine taster, immediately insisted that I book a restaurant, convinced that I knew the best in the area. However, at the time I was staying here, there were very few restaurants, perhaps just a small tavern outside the town. So, trusting the online reviews, I chose "La Vigna", a restaurant that promised well, with excellent reviews and a splendid location within the walls of the village, with outdoor tables overlooking the valley. We asked for an outdoor table, and the first positive note already arrived with the coffee we enjoyed upon our arrival, coming from the renowned Emilian roaster Kavè. After walking around the town, looking in vain for the house where we had lived, we headed towards the restaurant. We were welcomed by a lady with exquisite manners who immediately made us feel at ease. After examining the wine list, which I found well assorted, I chose a Riesling from South Tyrol, a wine that I couldn't miss. The menu was taken care of down to the smallest detail, with proposals designed to enhance the local flavours. Before we started ordering, the lady offered us a taste of two olive oils, including a local cultivar: both simply amazing, a perfect start! We decided to try a platter of cold cuts and cheeses, to test the quality of the 0 km products: a good choice, since they were clearly local, with intense and persistent aromas and flavours. Even though my friend and I were on a diet, we decided to treat ourselves to a "free meal", as recommended by my nutritionist. Thus, we tasted the stringozzi with leeks, pecorino and almonds, as well as those with tomato and basil. For the second courses, we let ourselves be tempted by the Armando sausages, prepared by the local butcher with a mixture of pork, spices and aromas that make them unique. Everything was accompanied by delicious parmigiana, baked potatoes and friggitelli, so tender that they melted in your mouth just looking at them. The desserts, even if only described, looked delicious: strawberry mousse with cream, mango parfait and a soft and fluffy apple cake that my friend, giving in to temptation, ordered. To prevent him from exceeding his daily calories, we were happy to help him by all tasting the cake. To conclude, a 5-grain Kavè coffee closed the meal in style. The bill? Irrelevant when you eat with complete satisfaction, enjoying high quality dishes and raw materials, and are welcomed with kindness and professionalism. Well done, we will definitely see each other again.

It is absolutely worth the stop while visiting the village. We had lunch here for my birthday with the kids and the dog. They thought of everything, even our furry friend. The starters are delicious: courgette pie, cheesecake and platter, and the first courses are excellent. Not least the desserts, rice and almond cake, a must try. The view is wonderful and the staff are courteous and kind. I recommend it! The homemade pasta with goat gorgonzola is only for palates trained on strong flavours, it is delicious but very strong.

Nice and nice restaurant, with a fantastic view! Excellent, original and unique food. They also accepted a medium-sized dog for us. Nice and courteous waitress and quiet environment. Absolutely highly recommended!

Splendid setting in the heart of Sabina, breathtaking view. Excellent food accompanied by a choice of quality wines and the kindness of the service completes the wonderful picture.

Dopo una visita al borgo, ci siamo fermati in questo locale per un aperitivo. Bella location situata in posizione panoramica, personale cortese ed efficiente.

Excellent welcome, refined food and truly good in its simplicity, very pleasant place with pleasant view.

Aperitif at sunset fantastic location excellent food suggestive panorama

It is worth treating yourself to a trip to Casperia and stopping in this splendid restaurant, located in the heart of the historic village. I also recommend stopping for an aperitif at sunset during the summer because it enjoys a wonderful view of the valley below, enjoying a beautiful terrace. The cured meats and cheeses on the mixed platter are truly excellent, as is the tasting of Sabina oil. The first courses (tagliolini with cheese and sausage) and the dessert (mango semifreddo) are also good. The two wines tasted by the glass were good. Quick service, great courtesy and humanity. Definitely worth trying again to taste the second courses. Advise!

We would have liked to order dinner because the view is amazing. However, the waitresses more or less politely ignored us and only informed us when we asked that the kitchen was closed.

Casperia in Sabina nell'alto Lazio è stata una scoperta inattesa. Paese medievale, pulitissimo, tenuto molto bene, ricco d'acqua e gode di una vista invidiabile. La sorpresa nella sorpresa è stata questa Osteria. Abbiamo pranzato benissimo con ottimo vino al calice, personale gentile, sorridente e disponibile. Ottima la pasta ma anche le salsicce locali sono molto buone. Cucina tutta locale ed un olio (portato in assaggio) davvero spettacolare. Visitate Casperia e fermatevi in questo locale.
