Il Boccone del Prete is a charateristic pub type restaurant, situaded in a medieval cellar carved out of "tufo". The moment you walk inside, the first thing you see is a monumental fireplace.

The cousine is closely linked to the territory and the portions exceedingly generous. In the wide range of starters we would note "baffo" a type cheek bacon with sage and vinegar, salami and cheeses all locally produced. The house made pastas and souces follow local traditions and the seasons: for example you could find tagliatelle with goose or lamb sauce, all'amatriciana, with mushrooms or truffle sauce, all made from fresh ingredients. Recommended, in winter time, are the pulse based soups and the grilled meats cooked in front of you an the aforementioned fire. Excellent is the Chianina meat but also the pork and lamb, all simply prepared. Amongst the side dishes are potatoes cooked in the cinders. Desserts include tozzetti biscuits with "Vin Santo" and milk cream with fruit coullins. Every Friday dishes are prepared with fresh sea fish.

In the summer season it is possible to dine "al fresco" with a wonderful view of the valley.
