I just took lunch there with friends. We ordered cartoccio di pesce and it was super delicious. I usually do not eat fish out of specialized restaurants but this was really good. Service is OK and staff is so friendly. First plate is 5 euro abd second is for 7 euro, usually. I recommend it.

What a wonderful experience! Delicious local food; excellent, friendly service; pleasant ambience in this little restaurant just inside the old town. Lunch menu came with a half litre of house wine, focaccia and 5 antipasti including a huge plate of mozzarella/tomato/prosciutto, followed by 2 plates of pasta which we chose from a decent list of mains. Tasty home-made food with recommendations (I had the local orecchiette pasta) from our lovely waiting staff. Good English spoken and we were made to feel very welcome. Great value for money at 15 Euros for our 2 courses with wine (22 Euros for 3 courses/wine/coffee). Do please go.

If you are dreaming of a wedding in Italy, look no further! This place will make all your dreams come true!!! We were so lucky to find this magnificent venue and truly amazing wedding planner, Luca D'Alessandro!
When we tried to describe this venue with one word, the best came to mind was ELEGANCE! Everything!!!! from food, flowers, music was exceptionally classy, tasteful, and elegant- a result of meticulous attention to details of Luca and his colleagues. I am extremely grateful for Luca’s patience during last year as I was torturing him with daily emails about wedding arrangements. Planning a destination wedding is not an easy endeavor. However, it is not only possible but also a great and enjoyable process with Luca and Villa De Grecis.
Our wedding was a fairytale in another world! And we would like to thank again Luca and Villa de Grecis for making this special day unforgettable.
With love,
Elena and Mihail

Very high quality kitchen, simple dishes made out of the best ingredients of the area.
We were two for light lunch on a Tuesday noon. The service was kind and patient. We ordered a plate of starters that was generously large including many types of fresh cheese, pastries and Prosciutto. We also had Frittata with fresh green salad and a mixture of roasted vegetables. Although the dishes sound dull, they were very delicate and cooked to perfection. For dessert we had a Tiramisu. Personally I never order tiramisu in restaurants because it is usually too sweet and too cheesy but my wife convinced me and I do not at all regret... It was literally the best Tiramisu I've ever had. Extremely recommended for quality food lovers.

So simple so gooood my wife had to pull me off cause I could not stop eating. It was cold weather and the focaccia simply the best I tried others but once you try Santa Rita you just cant stop, please don't talk to the owner about football he is crazy about it, and to wait for such a good focaccia is a sin, for me no team is comparable
