Reviewed By IL_TIPO_69 - Dublin, Ireland

Great charcoal grilled lamb, top notch pasta with truffle, sweet grilled peppers, beautiful red wine and a very good house speciality dessert. High end of the price spectrum for Italian food in this part of the world but well worth it. Very nice rustic atmosphere and efficient service. One of the best in my opinion.

La Cavola d'Oro

Reviewed By Bernard L

The restaurant feels like whay you would hope to find in this area: large tables, with plenty of space, Roman feel, local people. We had great nappetizers: fresh seasonal funghi, wonderful mozzarella di buffala, good local Lazio red wine. The meats were somewhat disappointing: roast maialino and agnello were Ok but not outstanding. Good service, but not memorable. Overall, we had a good time. If we return, we would try the pasta instead of meats.

If while visiting Rome you have the time and a vehicle try this little place in the Castelli. You'll love the Roman approach of the owner, but above all his wife's great recipes straight from the kitchen. Try the menu with the glasses of wine combination. Worth it.

Ara Anua

Reviewed By Niki H - London, United Kingdom

We checked trip advisor for restaurant recommendations. Ara Anua was awesome. The service was first class as was the recommendation for the house starter - the chickpea dish as part of the mixed starter was delicious. The main dish did not disappoint either. The local wine was really good as well. Best meal of our 10 night tour between Napoli and Rome

This is the best place of the Castelli Romani. The restaurant is situated close to the city hall. We offer a tipical Italian cuisine and speciality from France and Brasil. The restaurant is small and comfortable, it's perfect to spend some time with your friends.

Reviewed By Leanne N - Rome, Italy

This cosy little restaurant is owned by Cesare and helped by his father, Enzo. Cesare is very attentive and friendly, his food is always delicious. They offer a good choice of wines, including the house wine, to suit any gourmet. The decor gives the place a wonderful antique Roman atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting. Not only a place to take your special person, but also to share with friends.
