An impressive villa both inside and out - the architecture is stunning, and the interiors are rich with detail. The gardens are beautifully designed, with fountains and lovely views overlooking the town of Caprarola. A hidden gem well worth visiting!

Villa Farnese (Palazzo Farnese), Caprarola If the Sistine Chapel leaves you awestruck and exhausted by the crowds, come to Villa Farnese. This place delivers the same jaw-dropping “how did humans paint all this?” feeling—without the shoulder-to-shoulder shuffle. Room after room is wrapped in frescoes, stucco, and symbolism; you feel the years of craft in every ceiling and cornice. The highlight for me is the Map Room: a wraparound atlas of the known world that reads like a Renaissance data wall. Stand in the center and you can imagine cardinals and captains reading coastlines, trade winds, and borders—more than decoration, it feels like a political and strategic dashboard of its day. I loved spotting details like “Scandia,” “Nova Spagna,” and a portrait labeled Marcus Polus watching over the cartography—tiny windows into how they saw the world. Other moments that stay with you: the elegant helical staircase (perfectly proportioned, endlessly photogenic), the grand salons with mythological ceilings that pull your eyes upward, and the serene courtyards that reset your senses between fresco marathons. Even the approach is cinematic—the palace rising above the town like a stage set. Practical bits: it’s far less crowded than Rome’s headline sights, so you can linger and actually look. Give yourself time; every wall rewards patience. Comfortable shoes help, and a weekday morning is ideal. Bottom line: wildly underrated and absolutely bucket-list worthy. Villa Farnese is history, art, and power—painted across stone—and one of the most satisfying cultural visits I’ve had in Italy.

Amazing place of great art, culture and architecture. A symbol of the Farnese political and religious dominance in the region. Definitely worth a day trip.

Beautiful palace. The last room with the maps is a gem! Crazy to see such a good representation of the world from 500 years ago so well preserved.

Fantastic, everyone should visit Caprarola just to explore this place. No crowds when we visited. Takes around 2 -2.5 hours to explore both inside and the extensive grounds outside. Make sure to wander right to the end to see the water features and statues there. There are many rooms to wander through but the map room is certainly one to spend time in. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Incredible place full of art. Absolutely recommended.

Wonderful villa well kept and full of history , the staicase is a masterwork of architecture the maps of the world known then are fascinating

(Translated by Google) The Scala Regia, located in the Palazzo Farnese, has a strong symbolic value and tells the story and rise of the Farnese family. This monumental staircase was commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and, through a series of frescoes that develop from the bottom to the top, narrates the evolution of the family coat of arms. Starting from the unicorn, the initial symbol of the Farnese, the coat of arms is enriched and changed, including the lily and finally the six lilies, distinctive symbol of Pope Paul III, Alexander's grandfather, which dominates in the center of the vault above the staircase. Paul III represents a crucial figure for the family, since it was under his pontificate that the Farnese consolidated their political and social power, allying themselves with the greatest European courts of the time, including Charles V and the king of France. (Original) La Scala Regia, situata nel Palazzo Farnese, ha un forte valore simbolico e racconta la storia e l’ascesa della famiglia Farnese. Questa scala monumentale fu voluta dal cardinale Alessandro Farnese e, attraverso una serie di affreschi che si sviluppano dal basso verso la sommità, narra l’evoluzione dello stemma di famiglia. Partendo dall’unicorno, simbolo iniziale dei Farnese, lo stemma si arricchisce e cambia, includendo il giglio e infine i sei gigli, simbolo distintivo di papa Paolo III, nonno di Alessandro, che troneggia al centro della volta sopra la scala. Paolo III rappresenta una figura cruciale per la famiglia, poiché fu sotto il suo pontificato che i Farnese consolidarono il loro potere politico e sociale, alleandosi con le più grandi corti europee dell’epoca, inclusi Carlo V e il re di Francia.

(Translated by Google) The Scala Regia of Palazzo Farnese, located in Caprarola (VT), is one of Vignola's masterpieces; climbing this spectacular helical staircase and admiring the completely frescoed vault and walls is very suggestive. (Original) La Scala Regia di Palazzo Farnese, situato a Caprarola (VT), è uno dei capolavori del Vignola; salire questa spettacolare scala elicoidale ed ammirare la volta e le pareti completamente affrescate è molto suggestivo .

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing, as you go up you can see the walls frescoed in detail, a masterpiece (Original) Da vedere, man mano che si sale si possono vedere le pareti affrescate nei minimi dettagli, un capolavoro

(Translated by Google) It would be worth the trip just for this wonder... a unique masterpiece in its category that surpasses in beauty even Bramante's helical staircase which in the Vatican seems to have been the inspiration for the creation of this one. As you walk along it you will be surprised by the liveliness of the colors (you will have the sensation of having entered a kaleidoscope). Surrounded by peperino marble everywhere (columns, fascias, reliefs) it has the characteristic of having very low steps... perhaps because the cardinal wanted to travel along it on horseback or by carriage to his apartments on the main floor, find out (however there are no signs of hooves and this is a representation staircase for all intents and purposes, not a service one). The cover is the culmination of the masterpiece... have fun looking for unicorns among the many painted symbols. Look at the photos and videos I have published and the other reviews on Rome and its wonders that I have done and if I have been useful click on useful and if you want follow me (Original) Varrebbe il viaggio solo per questa meraviglia...un capolavoro unico nella sua categoria che oltrepassa in bellezza anche la scala elicoidale del Bramante che in vaticano sembra essere stata di ispirazione per la realizzazione di questa. Nel percorrerla rimarrete sorpresi dalla vivacità dei colori (avrete la sensazione di essere entrati in un caleidoscopio). Circondata da marmo peperino ovunque (colonne, fascioni, rilievi) ha la caratteristica di avere l'alzata dei gradini molto bassa ...forse perché il cardinale voleva percorrerla a cavallo o con la carrozza fino ai suoi appartamenti al piano nobile, vallo a sapere (segni di zoccoli comunque non ce ne sono e questa è una scala di rappresentanza a tutti gli effetti non di servizio). La copertura è il culmine del capolavoro... divertitevi a cercare gli unicorni tra i tanti simboli dipinti.

(Translated by Google) Another of those "additions" that mysteriously disappeared and then reappeared...and yet three years ago, when I added it, I even received record-breaking reviews. And yes...it's an absolute masterpiece that alone would be worth the visit to the Palace (and the price of admission), something comparable only to the map gallery of the Vatican Museums. Why are they so special? Simple: the geographical descriptions are impressively accurate for the time, considering that the reproductions of the maps were made in the 16th century and constitute a true "photograph" (even if it's a projection by the cartographers) of the knowledge of the time. This room, on the piano nobile, is a mirror image of the Fasti Farnesiani (which celebrated the grandeur of the House of Farnese), so important receptions and meetings undoubtedly took place here. The great navigators of the time (Amerigo Vespucci, Ferdinand Magellan, Marco Polo, Christopher Columbus, and Ferdinand Cortez) were portrayed above the doors and windows, and it is thanks to their explorations that the overall accuracy and proportions of the seas and continents are so high (although it is thought that the maps were updated in later periods). The author of these gems is unknown, although it is believed that the commission was given to Giovanni Antonio da Varese, known as "il Vanosino," assisted by Raffaellino Motta da Reggio and Giovanni De Vecchi (Vanosino had also created the cosmography for a loggia in the Vatican). And speaking of maps, the starry sky on the ceiling is magnificent, depicting the zodiac and the signs of the zodiac with references to ancient astronomy, while maintaining the centrality of the Church in the overall representation. In the panels of the fascia, between the cornice and the vault, separated by partially gilded stucco, are depicted the mythological allegories of the zodiac signs. Magnificent, without any doubt, it is the symbol of one of the most beautiful Renaissance palaces in Italy and is well worth a visit. Need some useful info? Then leave a like and check out the other reviews on Caprarola, especially on Rome and beyond. (Original) Un'altra di quelle "aggiunte" misteriosamente scomparse e riproposte....eppure tre anni fa, quando l'aggiunsi, ricevetti anche un record di gradimento. E certo...si tratta di un capolavoro assoluto che già da sola varrebbe la visita al Palazzo (e il prezzo del biglietto) e che trova qualcosa di simile solo nella galleria delle carte dei Musei Vaticani. Per quale motivo sono così speciali? Semplice: la descrizione geografica è di una precisione impressionante per l'epoca, considerato che le riproduzioni delle carte geografiche vennero realizzate nel 1500 e costituiscono una vera e propria "fotografia" (anche se si tratta di una proiezione dei cartografi) delle conoscenze dell'epoca. Questa sala è, sul piano nobile, speculare a quella dei Fasti Farnesiani (che celebravano la grandezza della Casata) e quindi sicuramente qui avvenivano ricevimenti e incontri importanti. I grandi navigatori di quel tempo (Amerigo Vespucci, Ferdinando Magellano, Marco Polo, Cristoforo Colombo e Ferdinando Cortez) sono stati ritratti sopra le porte e le finestre ed è grazie alle loro esplorazioni che la complessiva attendibilità e le proporzioni dei mari e dei continenti risultano così elevati (anche se si pensa che ci siano stati interventi di aggiornamento delle carte geografiche in epoche successive). Non è certo l'autore di questi gioielli anche se si ritiene che l'incarico venne dato a Giovanni Antonio da Varese detto "il Vanosino", coadiuvato da Raffaellino Motta da Reggio e Giovanni De Vecchi (del resto il Vanosino aveva realizzato la cosmografia di una loggia in Vaticano). E sempre a proposito di mappe è magnifico il cielo stellato del soffitto dove sono rappresentati lo zodiaco e i segni zodiacali con riferimenti all'astronomia antica, pur mantenendo la centralità della Chiesa nell'insieme della rappresentazione. Nei riquadri del fascione, tra il cornicione e la volta, separati da stucchi parzialmente dorati, sono riprodotte le allegorie mitologiche dei segni zodiacali. Magnifica, senza se e senza ma, è il simbolo di uno dei palazzi rinascimentali più belli d'Italia e va visitata. Utili info?

(Translated by Google) Exceptional testimony of Renaissance architecture. Majestic noble palace with a pentagonal shape cut in the center with a circular courtyard that makes it almost unique; internally decorated in every single room by the greatest painters and sculptors of the time, the palace, in its grandeur, presents itself as a fortress guarding the village and the valley below. (Original) Eccezionale testimonianza di architettura rinascimentale.

(Translated by Google) On the hill in front of the one where the majestic Palazzo Farnese stands, almost as if to contrast the spiritual power with the secular one, stands a little apart this church founded in 1621 by Cardinal Odoardo Farnese. Not particularly interesting from an architectural point of view, it contains valuable works of painting such as a valuable Guido Reni (Virgin and Child with Saints Joseph and Teresa of Avila). The panorama that embraces Palazzo Farnese and the village of Caprarola is important. (Original) Sulla collina di fronte a quella dove sorge il maestoso Palazzo Farnese, quasi a contrapporre il potere spirituale a quello secolare, sorge un po' in disparte questa chiesa fondata nel 1621 dal Card. Odoardo Farnese. Non particolarmente interessante dal punto di vista architettonico, racchiude in sé pregevoli opere di pittura come un pregevole Guido Reni (Vergine col Bambino ed i Santi Giuseppe e Teresa d'Avila). Importante il panorama che abbraccia Palazzo Farnese ed il borgo di Caprarola.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church both inside and out. Inside there are very beautiful frescoes, including some by Guido Reni. Unfortunately it is isolated and little publicized. (Original) Chiesa bellissima sia dentro che fuori. All'interno ci sono affreschi molto belli, tra cui alcuni di Guido Reni. Purtroppo è isolata e poco pubblicizzata.

(Translated by Google) I found it closed and with work in progress in the courtyard and on the road leading to the church. I remembered a beautiful tree-lined avenue which is now undergoing changes. However, the view from the courtyard overlooking the whole of Caprarola is fantastic and it is worth taking this walk. (Original) Ho trovato chiuso e con lavori in corso nel cortile e sulla via che porta alla chiesa. Ricordavo un bel viale alberato che ora però sta subendo delle modifiche. Comunque la vista dal cortile che da su tutta Caprarola è fantastica e vale la pena fare questa passeggiata.

(Translated by Google) A place of beautiful frescoes but little known, I recommend you visit, fantastic paintings and much more (Original) Un luogo di bellissimi affreschi ma poco conosciuta, la consiglio di visitare, fantastici dipinti e molto altro ancora

(Translated by Google) Overall, a well-kept monastic complex, located on the opposite side of the main street of Caprarola. To reach the center of the town you need to make a wide detour which is difficult to do on foot... (Original) Complesso monastico tuttosommato ben tenuto, posizionato sul versante opposto al corso principale di Caprarola. Per raggiungere il centro del paese occorre fare un'ampio giro difficilmente da fare a piedi...

(Translated by Google) worth seeing... Absolutely worth seeing, unfortunately, there is no guided tour with a specific guide, to fully understand all the architectural ideas present in the church, commissioned by Cardinal Odoardo Farnese in 1620, built on the architect's project. Girolamo Rainaldi, employed by the important family, presents frescoes of considerable value including a valuable work by Guido Reni. Many of the friezes probably come from artists who worked at Palazzo Farnese, nearby. From the square in front you can enjoy an excellent view of the valley towards Rome with Soratte in plain sight and then an unusual view of Caprarola, in ancient times there was a path that went directly down to the town, with many vegetable gardens and cellars now unfortunately all in total abandonment! (Original) da vedere... Da vedere assolutamente, purtroppo, manca un tuor guidato con apposita guida, per capire bene tutti gli spunti architettonici presenti nella chiesa, voluta dal cardinale Odoardo Farnese nel 1620, realizzata sul progetto dell'Arch. Girolamo Rainaldi , alle dipendenze dell'importante famiglia, presenta affreschi di notevole pregio tra cui una pregiata opera di Guido Reni probabilmente molti fregi provengono da artisti che lavorarono al Palazzo Farnese,poco di stante.Dal piazzale antistante si gode di una ottima veduta della vallata verso Roma col Soratte in bella vista e poi una visuale insolita di Caprarola, anticamente c'era un sentiero che scendeva direttamente giu' al paese, con molti orti e cantine ora purtroppo il tutto in totale abbandono!

(Translated by Google) In the 13th century, well before the arrival of the Farnese, Caprarola was a village under the government of the Prefects of Vico who built a defensive fortress here. In the 16th century with the construction of Palazzo Farnese and the consequent upheaval of the town's urban planning, the fortress was partially demolished and partially incorporated into what is now Palazzo Fusaro. A large tower survives, visible from Piazza Sicilia. (Original) Nel XIII secolo, ben prima dell'arrivo dei Farnese, Caprarola era un borgo sotto il governo dei Prefetti di Vico che qui costruirono una rocca difensiva. Nel XVI secolo con la costruzione di Palazzo Farnese e lo sconvolgimento conseguente all'urbanistica del paese la rocca fu parzialmente demolita e parzialmente inglobata in quello che oggi è Palazzo Fusaro. Sopravvive un grande torrione visibile da Piazza Sicilia.

Friendly owner and the food was acceptable. We were victims of the fact that there was a group of 30 people coming in and we didn't get the attention or food we were expecting. They ran out of food and we had to order something else and finally the bill was a difficult to figure out. Whatever!

A superb mix of local cuisine and history in a cozy and friendly environment

We wrote in 2017 that this was a fantastic restaurant, fabulous food and Mauritzio is a great host. We also said that we would come back from England to go again. Well today, almost 18 months later we are back.

Terrific place. Do not expect them to speak English. But if you want terrific, authentic food and are up for a little adventure with the language barrier this place will not disappoint.

Absolutely lovely, both in the decor and the food

(Translated by Google) Too beautiful! The uniform of the waitresses and their professionalism, together with the very typical restaurant, create a nice atmosphere. Then the food.... very good!!! The well in the floor, with the glass above it, is beautiful! Pork fillet with hazelnuts... divine! All good guys! (Original) Troppo bello! La divisa delle cameriere e la loro professionalità,insieme al locale molto tipico,creano bella atmosfera. Poi il cibo.... buonissimo!!! Il pozzo nel pavimento,con il vetro sopra e bellissimo!

(Translated by Google) Excellent experience. Super friendly waitresses, our little dog was welcomed with a bowl of water. Excellent food: plentiful and delicious rose platter.

Alla fine ci hanno offerto anche un amaro! Qualità / prezzo eccezionale, di sicuro torneremo qui!

Very good pasta and excellent service! Very interesting local wine selection.

This was na Experience from start to end. We have stopped twice, first for drinks and then for early dinner. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Cards accepted, unisex toilette available.

Small bar/café and winery located on the main road. You can go in for a quick espresso or you can sit down and have Italian style breakfast (cappuccino and croissant) later on an aperitivo served with few bites or a nice glass of wine. They have available also small plates to eat made with local products and seasonal. Few choices but very tasty! The bar inside is very small however there are a lot of tables outside. The only perk is that is right on the main road and there are always cars going right in front of it, if going with small children you always have to be very vigilant.

Best bar in Caprarola. The owner is a sommelier, the wines and spirits are on another level, food is hand made by him and his wife and there is a very friendly atmosphere. Multiple languages spoken in case you need directions to anywhere since they are locals. Thoroughly clean and very close to Palazzo Farnese, what else could you possibly want!

Great selection of wines, friendly hosts and great simple food for a lunch on way to the Villa. Highly recommend

Delicious lunch on Friday, the porchetta was particularly incredible! Very friendly staff, great service

A wonderful and tasty spot to enjoy delicious local meats and cheeses and great hospitality!

The Casina del Piacere (literally the little house of pleasure) is inside the gardens of Palazzo Farnese (Villa Farnese) in Caprarola, 50 kilometres north of Rome in the province of Viterbo. Initially intended for hunting it then became Alessandro Farnese’s secret place with an amazing view on the Roman countryside.

Closed, but the grounds surrounding it are astonishing.

Nice place.

(Translated by Google) Entrance from Palazzo Farnese, €11.00 each, well deserved.

(Translated by Google) Entranced by the palace, this beautiful complex will seem like nothing to you despite its beautiful Italian gardens and its beautiful fountains. The perspective coming from the villa is breathtaking, among the most beautiful of the many in Lazio (compare with Villa Lante, ed.). His casino - if it can be visited - is very pretty but not special.... everything is very harmonious even though it was started by Vignola and then finished by one of his collaborators. The destination, as the name suggests, was pleasure...delighting one's guests, not necessarily with hunting which actually seems not to have been much loved by Alessandro Farnese. A piece of advice... once you get on, concentrate on admiring one by one the many statues that adorn the two squares of the gardens in front and behind. Look at the photos I posted and the other reviews on Rome and Lazio and its wonders that I have done and if I have been useful click on useful and if you want follow me (Original) Estasiati dal palazzo questo bel complesso vi sembrerà nulla nonostante i suoi bei giardini all'italiana e le sue belle fontane.

Il casino di suo -se visitabile - è molto grazioso ma non speciale.... è il tutto che risulta molto armonioso sebbene sia stato iniziato dal Vignola e poi terminato da un suo collaboratore. La destinazione, come dice il nome, era il piacere..il deliziare i propri ospiti, non necessariamente con la caccia che anzi pare non fosse molto amata da Alessandro Farnese. Un consiglio...una volta saliti concentratevi sull'ammirare una ad una le tante statue che ornano i due piazzali dei giardini antistante e retrostante.

(Translated by Google) This is the town's cathedral, but it seems only the townspeople know about it. Its entrance is on Via Nicolai—the famous "straight street" that bisects the village, providing a backdrop for the square overlooked by Palazzo Farnese. It was rebuilt by Valadier after a fire that completely destroyed it, but it had already been renovated between the late 16th and early 17th centuries, coinciding with the construction of the aforementioned straight street. Externally, it is very simple, and the façade facing Palazzo Riario is rather anonymous, while the other sides and the apse are hidden due to the adjacent buildings, including the two bell towers (one of which is from the original 16th-century structure). Inside, however, it is bright, with three naves, and preserves a 15th-century panel painting of Saint Savior, a 16th-century Assumption of Mary, and a 17th-century Incredulity of Saint Thomas, as well as a beautiful frescoed ceiling. The white marble ciborium, also from the 15th century, is particularly interesting, set into the center of the apse's wooden choir. The organ on the counterfaçade is not ancient, but it's about a century old. It's still worth a visit during your stroll through the village. Need some useful info? Then leave a like and check out the other reviews on Caprarola, especially Rome, and beyond. (Original) Questo è il duomo del paese ma sembra che solo i cittadini lo sappiano. Ha l'ingresso su via Nicolai - la famosa "via dritta" che tagliando in due il borgo fa da scenografia per la piazza dove si affaccia il palazzo Farnese - è stata ricostruita dal Valadier dopo un incendio che l'ha completamente distrutta ma era stata risistemata già tra la fine del XVI° secolo e l'inizio del XVII°, proprio in coincidenza con i lavori per la realizzazione della suddetta via diritta. Esternamente è molto semplice e la facciata davanti a palazzo Riario è piuttosto anonima mentre gli altri lati e l'abside non sono visibili a causa della altre costruzioni che le sono state addossate, comprendo anche le 2 torri campanarie (di cui una della struttura originaria cinquecentesca). All'interno appare invece luminosa, a tre navate, e conserva una tavola del XV secolo con il San Salvatore, l'assunzione di Maria del XVI secolo e l'incredulità di San Tommaso del XVII secolo oltre a un bel soffitto affrescato. Molto curioso il ciborio in marmo bianco, sempre quattrocentesco, incassato al centro del coro ligneo dell'abside. L'organo della controfacciata non è antico ma ha circa un secolo. Merita comunque una visita durante la passeggiata nel borgo. Utili info? Allora lasciate un like e guardate le altre recensioni fatte su Caprarola e soprattutto su Roma e non solo.

We had so much fun here! AMAZING food, informal atmosphere, and helpful staff that knows their wines :))) We stumbled upon this spot when looking for a dinner place, and got the best food during our all roadtrip through Lazio and Umbria. Excellent ingredients, seasonal menu, and pici amatriciana to kill for🥰 Place is rather cozy with their dimmed lights, so food pictures dont do justice to the whole experience.Hidden gem, worth a detour

We are from canada and this place was recommended to us, i highly recommend it, the service was great and the food was unbelievably good, very fresh ans delicious, the atmosphere is amazing and the prices for such food is very reasonable, plus it is in the oldest building in town!!. We loved it, i highly recommend it!

Incredibly beautiful restaurant with decent prices and the best Amatriciana I ever tasted. 100% recommend! Restaurant is in the basement, not super adapted for wheelchairs except if light enough to be lifted (the waiters kindly helped lifting a man downstairs while we were there).

Amazing food, amazing staff. Had a wonderful lunch here. Pasta and appetizer plate were delicious. The staff were super friendly!

This restaurant was recommended to us by a local and we really glad we listened. Sommelier is very knowledgable and selection of wine is very unique. Food was very good, pasta handmade and marinated eggplant was made by nonna. Amatriciana is as good as advertised. Dessert is delicious. Slow food and KM0 are fully embraced here. Highly recommend it.

There are a handful of restaurants along the main drag in Caprarola and this wasn't my first choice but given that my first choice was fully booked this is where my wife and I ended up and I'm glad we did. The food is fabulous, dishes are local and original, service is superb and the interior is a perfect encore after visiting Palazzo Farnese. If it was closer to home I would be a regular but as it isn't I will settle for the wonderful culinary memories. Bravo.

Such an incredible experience that we will always remember here, amazing food and wine, and friendly and kind staff. Couldn’t recommend more!

Great view and wholesome food. Nice choice between meat and fish. Recommended the carbonara with truffles.

Excellent food. The Tagliata (beef) is spectacular. Friendly family business. I gave 4 out of 5 stars due to the season: They obviously can't keep tables in the garden in January, but in the summer that would make it full 5 stars (I've done it a few times). Splendid atmosphere and perfect climate during the hottest summer months (this place is well above the sea level, and that makes a difference). During hours of daylight, great view if you book a good table. But the magic of full moon compensates for that in the garden where many of the trees are probably at least hundred years old. Nice parking facilities, which is so often a real pain in the ar*e when trying to park a larger car in Italy anywhere, especially near a popular restaurant.

Highly recommended for hot summer nights. Pleasant outdoor space with stunning views over the Tiber valley and beyond to the mountains. Lovely staff. Home cooking with very good value fixed menu options. Good pizzas. Nothing fancy, but just the place for a very relaxed evening. Family and child friendly.

Spectacularly wonderful views to be had from the restaurant garden, shaded by ancient gnarled leafy chestnut trees. Standard fare from a standard menu, but well presented and promptly served.

Tasty food. Polite staff

(Translated by Google) Honestly, I really appreciated the panoramic point on Soratte and the mountains in the distance. We tasted excellent homemade dishes and I personally tried the truffle carbonara and I can recommend it to you because it is so good. As for dessert, try the semifreddo alla Nocciola. We will definitely return because we had a great time! (Original) Sinceramente ho apprezzato tantissimo il punto panoramico sul Soratte e i monti in lontananza. Abbiamo degustato ottimi piatti fatti in casa e personalmente ho provato la carbonara tartufata e posso consigliarvela tanto e' buona. Per quanto riguarda il dessert provate il semifreddo alla Nocciola. Ritorneremo sicuramente perche' ci siamo trovati benissimo!

(Translated by Google) Very welcoming place and delicious food. I highly recommend the fettuccine carbonara with truffles. (Original) Posto molto ospitale e cibo buonissimo. Consiglio vivamente le fettuccine alla carbonara tartufata.
