You would never know that there was a fabulous restaurant waiting for you behind the coffee bar in this non-descript building in a gas station/shop complex on the Via Sabina Nord, the road leading to the A1 toll booth near Soratte when you head out of Sabina, but there is. I was taken here for my birthday lunch by my partner and some friends and I have to say I was a little disappointed at first sight but never judge a book by its cover, they say... This place is one of the best restaurants I have eaten at in Italy and I have been living here for two years! Understanding Italian helps here as there is no printed menu. The waiter will come and let you know what the days specials are and what pastas are available with what sauce. Absolutely everything we had here was excellent, from the pastas--try the stringozzi--to the secondi and contorni. One of my favourite things that I ate here was the spuntature--stewed pork ribs. This hidden gem is one of those places more frequented by locals than tourists.

I had the best time here with my family and recommend it to all for a 5 star experience! From the beautiful villa, to our exquisite meal and attentive service; everything was perfect. Chef Alessandro cooked us an impeccable lunch and we left very satisfied. The view at La Belle Evoque is absolutely breathtaking, which adds to the whole experience. This vacation destination is a must for a getaway!

I've only eaten here once, but I'd come again. It's kind of in a neighborhood in Stimigliano Scalo, right off the A1 autostrade and reasonably near the local, small train station.They serve pizza and seafood as their specialties. Our group got some of both. People who liked very, very thin crust pizza loved it. I had their friend calamari and shrimp, and they were the best I've had in Italy (I've been around Italy quite a bit, too). The shrimp were particularly sweet and tasty.The service was reasonable, kind of standard for the area. They use a small hand held computer, but that didn't seem to help the speed or efficiency. Those who ordered multiple items took forever to get them. While we were there, a house caught on fire next door, which offered a lot of concern. But it got put out reasonably quickly and no one was hurt. It took the vigili 20 minutes to get there. That might have contributed to the slowness of the meal.

Beautiful view, friendly service and honest, well prepared food. Tasty secondi & excellent deserts. Wine is mainly house wine it seems. Fairly standard menu but the relaxed atmosphere & simple, good cooking make for a nice meal.

Welcoming and service wasn't so friendly than other places during these weeks. Service was quick but when waitress took our order, it was unclear for us what will come... She couldn't answer for all our questions in English and we didn't know Italian so well. Anyway, food was just like we ordered. Pizzas were ok, not so crispy as somewhere else. It was good that they had sharpened knives. And yes, service was 1,50 â¬/person. Nowhere else outside big cities there hasn't been that fee. Food was a little bit more expensive.

I have been a fan of EcoFattorie Sabine for years. It is one of the best places to buy excellent Sabine cheeses (if the ricotta al forno is available, buy a slice) organic meats, fresh and cured sausages, various types of artisanal breads, wines, compotes, honeys and jams, not to mention some excellent organic Sabine olive oil. Opening a restaurant was a stroke of genius. I visited the new restaurant about a month after it opened. From the epic cheese and charcuterie taglieri (woodwn platters) to the pasta primi and succulent meat courses that followed EcoFattorie Sabine did our beloved rustic Sabine region proud. The menu is a brilliant advertisement for each and every of EcoFattorie Sabine's products. Be careful! If you ever eat there you will be hooked... not only by the restaurant, but by the store's products. My favourites are their ricotta, the ricotta al forno (wood fire oven-backed ricotta) their wide range of local Sabine pecorino cheese, and their salumi. Ecofattorie Sabine is rustic and homey gastronomic delight. I can't wait to go back.Thank you! We look forward to seeing you again!

This is one of the most disturbing restaurants I have ever been to.We come without reservation hoping to get a nice first meal in Italy, however what happened inside has made me lose my confidence in foreign restaurants.It was my son's birthday and I wanted pizza. This restaurant was nr.1 on tripadvidor so I had no doubt and went there immidiately. It was cold inside, the owner was too lazy to open the gas?The man spoke Italian to us which we didn't understand. He gave us a table of eight which was excellent. When he gave the menu, we didn't know what to choose. We choose 8 pizzas in total, 2 bottles of water and a bottle of Coca-Cola. I checked the prices before ordering, ofcourse. We ordered and asked the man to make our food without pork.He started to make sounds like a pork and said something funny in Italian, which we didn't understand, after his sentence finished, all the other Italians were staring at us and laughing. I am 100% sure that we were being laughed at. I felt humiliated and other people who ordered later than us got their food first.49 minutes had passed (yes, I checked) and the first from us got his pizza. They brought a pizza which we didn't order and we asked to take it back and bring the pizza we ordered. The guy got back to the kitchen and got the pizza we asked in 5 minutes somehow. Why did we wait almost 50 minutes for the first few pizzas than? In most pizzas there was no cheese (which Italian pizza does not have cheese!?). There were even pizzas brought to us without tomato sauce (the base of a pizza always need this, what happened?). One pizza looked like a pizza base with tomato soup, disgusting. The man even told us that the pizzas he brought was normal Italian pizzas.We investigated this later and this was not true. Other Italians could not believe our story. When we asked the check we were suprised with the high prices for the drinks. He even added the pizza we didn't order to the check. We complained and he went red and fixed the issue. When we left, we saw Italians eating normal pizzas we thought we would get.2/10 worst restaurant. Even frozen Ristaurante pizzas are better.

This is a beautiful, airy restaurant surrounded by rolling hills and big skies, but it's the artful food and wine that takes centerstage. Everything is delicious and flavorful, delicately plated. Since all produce is all natural and sourced from the onsite farm, from the wagu beef to the berries used to cream the butter for pink frosting, the flavors are incomparable.I had perfectly poached eggs with shaved white truffles on butter fried brioche garnished with micro greens for one meal. Silky, richly marbled wagu beef and crisp, wafer-thin prosciutto came before the plump, dense tortellini stuffed with fresh goat cheese. Each bite, I washed down with a sip of the reasonably priced but excellent house white. Dessert was apple done three ways - each a work of art with tangy, sweet apple bites turned into tart, a moist cake, or deconstructed inverse pie. I only spent a day there, but time really did stand still, and I left replensihed, relaxed, and calm.
