Ristorante Girarrosto All'Arco In Monte romano

03/01/2025: 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. Advised

03/01/2025: 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!
