Ristorante Pizzeria La Ballaccia In Viterbo

Elegant restaurant with traditional dishes. Punctual service even when crowded.

My husband and I took a day trip to Viterbo for the spa. We met an acquaintance and she recommended this place, so we went. I have to say, everything was delicious. The service was excellent, and the waiters were kind and attentive. The food was delicious, even the meat was very good, tender, and flavorful! Truly excellent. When I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be back. Thank you! Highly recommended.

Truly spectacular food, generous portions, and very friendly and helpful staff. If I could, I'd give it more than 5 stars! [UPDATE] I'm updating my review from a few years ago because I've since become celiac... and this place continues to be amazing!! I tried the homemade gluten-free bread and pasta, and they were truly spectacular—a rare thing to find so well-made. And the tiramisu? Incredible, one of the best I've ever had. The staff continues to be super kind and welcoming; the waitress was so sweet, she stopped to chat with us and even took a picture of us 🥹 This place never disappoints; in fact, it's even better than I remembered!

Excellent location and excellent food, the only flaw is poor soundproofing.

Excellent welcome and compliments for the good food in an excellent restaurant

Pizzeria and restaurant located in the main square of San Martino al Cimino. A well-maintained venue, perfect for a pleasant evening with friends. Excellent food, a wide selection of appetizers, first courses, second courses, side dishes, and desserts. The meat was excellent and beautifully presented. I have several allergies and intolerances, and they accommodated every need! The service was impeccable and attentive to every need. The quality/price ratio is fair. I highly recommend it. It was a pleasant discovery for my friend and I! We will be back with our families!

Pizzeria and restaurant located in the main square of the village of San Martino al Cimino. A welcoming location, it offers pizza and good food made with local ingredients. Friendly staff, moderate prices. A bit noisy when busy.

We had a great evening on Valentine's Day. The food was excellent, the portions were quite generous, and the waiters were friendly. We'll be back.

The restaurant is well-decorated and has several rooms. Parking outside the building is easy. We found it by checking other restaurants in the area that also offered gluten-free options. The staff is very courteous and welcomed us impeccably. We started with the house platter, which was a good start, although I would recommend toasting the gluten-free bread for the bruschetta to make it more palatable. The cured meats and buffalo mozzarella were excellent, as were the sauces on the bruschetta. The mushrooms were also excellent. For our first courses, we had the lombrichelli alla Viterbese (without chili pepper) and the white polenta with mushrooms and sausage (gluten-free). The lombrichelli were very good as a pasta, but the sauce was rather light, and the pecorino dominated everything: I would have preferred a stronger taste of tomato. The polenta was very soft in texture (perhaps because it was served on a wooden plate so it could be distributed better), perhaps too soft for what we're used to eating it, and the toppings weren't well-blended, making the dish feel less harmonious. For dessert, we ordered the gluten-free version of the deconstructed tart. Unfortunately, the actual tart wasn't there: there were crumbled biscuits (too few and too crumbled) and the crunchy part was almost nonexistent. The cream with the berries on top was very good, but overall, it didn't justify the €9 price tag for the type and portion of the dessert. The restaurant also has a wine bar. Overall, the meal wasn't bad, but we expected something more.

Excellent food quality. Mushrooms of all kinds seem to be the specialty. Very friendly service. The place is cozy, though a bit small with a stroller, but still manageable. There's a bit of difficulty getting in with a stroller due to the inevitable stairs. Overall, I'd recommend it.
