Da Viola Trattoria

At this cheerful family trattoria you will find genuine cooking from Sabina, using all local or home produced ingredients. It's very small and plain, with only seven small tables inside and with another four outside the door on to the square. The unwritten menu, with seasonal variations such as pasta with artichokes or asparagus etc. is usually quite predictable, but none the less appreciable for that. My winter favourites are bruschetta with garlic and olive oil, agnello alla cacciatore and home grown broccoletti. while carnivores will enjoy the huge rib steaks. Whatever the season,vegetables abound and Guseppina's sinfully good real chips (seemingly the only ones left in Italy) and fettuccine are a must. Open only at lunchtime, Thursday being closing day, and busy at weekends. Whether we have been chased inside by winter cold, or sit outside in the shade of the building in the spring or autumn, we rarely stay away for longer than a couple of weeks.
