Civita Castellana

Wonderful bustling osteria; always noisy, no written menu, great meat, giant portions of pasta, helps to know the owner to get the bill. Parking lot, though a small one, right outside, closed Thursday and Sunday evening. Eat the maiale in guanciale spiedini and half a portion of rigatoni alla Mignolo'. They can have a heavy hand with the salt, and some people find their food heavy.

Modernized place, good pasta, pizzas, salads, grilled meat. Nice slightly bubbly house white wine. Friendly service, especially when not too crowded and Flaminio and Angelo will refuse to let you order the wrong shape of pasta for your sauce. Good tagliata!

Good and reliable place to eat. Excellent fried veggies, good pastas, excellent ROLLS with fennel seeds. When empty it can seem echoey and a little sad, but when busy it's bright, high-ceilinged and all made in-house using fresh local ingredients.

Tables outside on summer evenings. Reliable family-run place, moderate prices.

Wonderful hand-made ravioli, strozzapreti, cannelloni etc. Their best dishes are the timballi with various fillings: traditional red sauce and cheese, funghi porcini, asparagus, and the superb artichoke lasagna. Also try their crepes layered with red sauce.
