A terrace beside a Roman temple

The Sibilla is on the acropolis of Tivoli, at number 42 via della Sibilla, right next to the round Temple of Vesta. It boasts three hundred years of history: it was a stop on the Grand Tour, when travellers came to paint the waterfall. The best part is the terrace, in the shade of a centuries-old wisteria, with the temple on one side and the Villa Gregoriana gorge in front. Inside there are dining rooms with arches and wooden ceilings.

What to order

Italian cooking in the Roman tradition, with a touch of the sea. The menu has artichokes alla romana, lamb allo scottadito, fisherman's risotto, ricotta and lime ravioli with three tomatoes and a beef tagliata. Mains run from €22 to €28 and first courses from €13 to €20; there is a menu of six starters to try for €30. House desserts, such as tiramisu.

When to go

Open Tuesday to Sunday, at midday from 12:30 to 15:00 and in the evening from 19:30 to 22:30. Closed on Mondays. Book on its website or on 0774 335281, and ask for the terrace if the weather is good. If you do Villa Gregoriana, you come out right next door: it is the natural lunch of the day.
