A Sunday afternoon lunch, high in the Sabine Hills, north of Rome, with an amazing view, sounds good - yes! Beautifully laid out restaurant, spacious and clean, with huge windows emphasizing the incredible view. Busy, friendly waiters and lots of families enjoying their food. I had a salad of mushrooms, rocket and black truffle - light and delicious. My friend had a cestino - a cheese pie with flaky pastry - that she said was delicious. The other had a gnocchetti - small potato balls in a tomato sauce - that he said was excellent. For main I had fillets of rabbit, moist, savoury and well seasoned. My friend had the duck in a moscato wine sauce - both were very good. Followed up by 2 delicious desserts and all washed down with a local white wine. This is probably a restaurant for locals, but if you are an adventurous traveller seek this place out (Michelin Guide). It's just off the autostrada and 10 minutes up into the hills. The food is excellent, the service very good, the price is very reasonable (E35 each, including wine!), the view is stunning and the surrounding countryside rivals any found in its more famous neighbour, Tuscany. La bella vita!

Imagine: early June, a beautiful summer evening, a table on a veranda overlooking the Umbrian countryside, a very tasty dinner made up of local products accompanied by a nice local wine. Highlight of the evening was the best (home made) limonchello crema I have ever tasted. A divine drink.It was a great experience! Where? The living room restaurant of the eminent hostess and chef Anna Maria in Poggiolo. Highly recommended!

I have been coming here several times a year for the past 10 years. It has always been a simple but reliable place for pizza/pasta or just a drink, but over the past few years, it has upped it's game considerably. It now has a much broader menu, a more extensive wine list (couple of nice Puglia options around the 13⬠mark) and while the pizza has always been good, the standard of the second piatti has improved noticably too. One grip I'd always had was the price of the draught lager, which semed expensive in general, and also had the annoying Italian trait of charging disproportionatly more for a small glass than a large one - almost forcing you to get a 400ml glass when you actually only wanted 200m. However, on my most recent visit (28th August 2015), I was delighted to be presented with not one, but two new beer menus !! The first one is a new range of German (bavarian) kloster beers, comprising hell lager, weiss, dunkel and doppelbock. I had actually tried all of these in another near (ish) bar at Magliano Sabina, I guess the importers are pushing the brand in the region? Anyway, they are all delicious, and priced at â¬3.5 for a 500ml bottle they are great value for a premium product.The other beer menu was for a range of craft beers from Assisi. No prices, but a very luxury looking menu with glossy photos, detailed info (in both italian and English) and a good range - IPA, porter, stout, amber ale, blond beer etc.I think this illustrates Le delizie's ongoing trend to improve, and 'internationalise' it's offering, and more power to their elbow I say :-)Just to round off, we shared the Le Delizie antipasti plate. This has changed quite a bit from previously - it is now very vegetarian friendly, with four ramekins containing:salad of tomato, basil & grain (barley, I think, or maybe something like bulgar wheat ... anyway, light, fluffy and a bit nutty),beans & olives (plain but tasty)Seafood (crabsticks, octopus, shrimp and squid in vinegrette - crabsticks are not my thing, but these were pretty decent I must say) Russian salad - this was a bit of a letdown, it tasted distinctly 'zingy', I think it was slightly past its best.In addition to these ramekins, it came with a basket of heavenly foccaccia, fresh baked in the pizza oven, and the usual fritti misti and gratined vegetables (unfortunately served with way too much breadcrumbs on top, and with the crumbs still very bread-like, not crisped up .... I scraped most of them off, shame). Anyway, for 7â¬, a great sharing plate.I had pizza to follow - good as ever, excellent thin crispy base, and not overloaded with cheese. The wife had fettucini with porcini mushrooms, and neither of us could finish the generous plates. All in all, Le Delizie delivers very well, and on a warm summer night, dining under the old arches in pretty Otricoli, you could pay much more and eat much less well elsewhere.

Located in the old kitchens of a noble palace, Le Cucine del Borgo offers the most spectacular view over the Tiber Valley. The Chef selects local products and ingredients using his fantasy and ability. Reservation recommended.
We loved our meal at Le Cucine del Borgo. It was enjoyable to speak with the new owners and hear about this couple's passion for the food, the history of the building and their love of the area. We had a delicious fish dinner and some excellent wine for a very reasonable price. We also ran across a pack of wild boar on the way back to our hotel!We are happy to have passed on our passion for food.Thank you for the reviewChristian & Alina
