Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t

Eating in Viterbo
Viterbo is the Tuscia, between Lake Bolsena and the Cimini hills: a kitchen of land, pulses and bread.
The dishes
- Acquacotta della Tuscia — wild chicory, mint, tomato, stale bread and an egg on top;
- Lombrichelli — thick hand-rolled spaghetti of flour and water, with garlic sauce or ragù;
- Pignattaccia — meat and vegetables cooked for hours in an earthenware pot, born among the stonecutters who left it in the ovens;
- Chestnut and chickpea soup, from the Cimini woods.
The products
- The purgatorio bean of Gradoli, small and white, cooked on Ash Wednesday;
- Hazelnuts of the Monti Cimini and Tuscia DOP olive oil;
- Whitefish and eel from Lake Bolsena.
In the glass
Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone DOC, named after the story of Bishop Defuk's servant, and Aleatico di Gradoli DOC among the sweet wines.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
