Otto . Zero In Civitavecchia

The whole world on one plate! We often go to eat at 8.0, and it's always a wonderful surprise. Matteo is a welcoming host, attentive and prepared. His dishes are unique, his professional experience in different parts of the world contributes to his ideas of innovative and never predictable cuisine. Highly recommended!

We arrived to have a bite to eat and they hadn't opened yet but the waiter took great care of us and told us to sit down and within 3 minutes he was serving us. Some great focaccias and a snack, and the mortadella from another planet, a 10 without a doubt.

Heel leuk restaurantje. Erg gastvrije ontvangst. Heel goed eten. Echt aan te raden. Het was low saison maar toch gezellig.

Kindness, courtesy and taste are their business card... the cicchetti, needless to say, wonderful... congratulations 🤗🤗

The plate with the food is a bit small but the portion is actually quite large. I was very full after eating three snacks, a bowl of vegetables and two large dishes😁

We were very fortunate to have a cooking class with Chef Matteo earlier in the day and then an amazing dinner in the evening. Everything we tried was delicious and the ramen was a standout. This was definitely the highlight of our trip and we will definitely go back if ever in the area.

We took a cooking class from Chef Matteo - after first shopping in a nearby market for all the fresh veggies used in the meal. We made gnocchi, pomadoro sauce, veal and tiramisu. All 7 of us got to be hands on in the prep work and assembly of the meal. Then we sat down to a delicious lunch we had worked with the chef to create. I would highly recommend this restaurant and most especially the cooking class offered on Viator.

Excellent local spot. We visited this spot 3 nights during our 5 night stay in civitavecchia. The provolone fried Balls were my favorite. He has small to large portions nd a nice break away from your typical Italian pasta meals. He does change his menu from time to time as well to give the local people new food to try. But he said the provolone balls will always be on there. I would definitely recommend this spot. Thank u Mateo for all the help on where to visit during out stay in your country. I'm sure you remember us. 😄 🤣

From the moment we stepped into Otto.Zero, we knew we were in for something special. Matteo, the owner, greeted us warmly as we walked in, making us feel like guests in an old-world Italian restaurant. But once the food arrived, it became clear that Otto.Zero is anything but old-fashioned. Matteo's culinary creations draw from his global travels, infusing classic Italian flavors with modern twists to create dishes that are nothing short of masterpieces. Unable to choose from the tempting larger plates, my wife and I opted for an assortment of Small Plates and let Matteo guide our selection. After asking a few questions to get a sense of our preferences, he curated the first six plates for us, which we shared. Each dish was outstanding, but the “Pork Tacos” and grilled octopus stood out as true highlights. We enjoyed them so much that we ordered another round of those, along with four additional dishes. One of the most surprising delights was a dish featuring dried mushrooms. Initially, I wasn’t sure I’d be a fan, but the sauce was a revelation—it was so good, I suggested Matteo should bottle it! For dessert, we couldn’t resist the tiramisu and also tried the coconut cream with berries, which turned out to be the showstopper of the night. Its rich flavors and perfect balance left a lasting impression. Matteo and his assistant, Julia, made our dining experience unforgettable. After weeks of indulging in great Italian food—including plenty of pizza—Otto.Zero stood out as a place where the palate truly comes alive. Do yourself a favor and visit Otto.Zero for a meal that will make your taste buds dance.

Chef Matteo, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible welcome! Although we arrived later than planned, you understood the situation and not only fed us, but also surprised us with wonderful meals. Each bite was perfectly seasoned with carefully selected ingredients and a delicate balance of flavors. Your talent and love for your work create a special atmosphere that is memorable.
