Porta Romana - VITERBO

Tipica trattoria un po' antiquata. Il cibo era buono ma la location lascia molto a desiderare. Peccato perchè potrebbe avere maggior successo

Ottima cena … location modesta… servizio discreto… prezzi economici. Consigliato

We went here twice, this place is truly authentic food of Viterbo. The food, the people owning Porta Romana are the same people making and serving these truly marvelous dinners! OK, the menu is hand written everyday... can you say everything is definitely the freshest best ingredients you can procure!? The homemade pasta and pomodoro is out of this world, the ravioli... OMG!! This isn 't even the best part, because Viterbo cuisine is known for it 's use of pork, very thinly sliced magro (pork) is so tasty, so delicious, so Viterbo! Then there 's stinco the shin. Aside from this incredible food experience, the owner, the matriarch, is always there. She is so sweet, so kind, so friendly! Our family loves her! She is overseeing everything, having pride in her restaurant 's creations. Her son is a character, he is belting out music as he cooks with another chef back there. My son lived in Viterbo for a year, he went here many, many times over the course of the year. This is because this authentic, tasty food is also a great price! Six of us, two bottled of wine, desserts, three courses, coffee, desserts... two and half hours of amazing dining cost... 150 euro! Unbelievable!! Go here! The place is unassuming, the food is off the charts amazing.

We really enjoyed our lunch at this local, old-style trattoria that you don’t often see anymore. We stumbled across it while killing time until our first choice opened at 12:45pm. Once we saw this one, we just had to try it. Eating here was like stepping back in time 20 years. The walls are covered with photos and other knick-knacks. Our “senior” server was probably the owner and has probably been waiting tables here for many, many years. We ordered off a handwritten menu. We started with a bruschetta. For our main dishes, we selected the orchiette pomodoro and pumpkin tortelli. Each dish was delicious. The house red wine, bread, and olive oil were all very good. We would definitely go back here to enjoy the food and the traditional atmosphere at this cute little trattoria.

Un posto autentico, con un'atmosfera familiare, sapori semplici ma deliziosi. Per quanto riguarda il rapporto qualità-prezzo (che ritengo essere ciò che conta), è adeguato.
