Medieval cooking in a medieval palace
Il Richiastro opened in 1981 in the Mazzatosta palace, in the centre of Viterbo, and is run by Giovanna, Emanuele and Luigi. Its idea is a creative interpretation of the medieval cooking of Viterbo and the Tuscia, with seasonal produce, wines from small wineries and its own oil. The dining room is stone-built, with a fireplace.
What to order
Start with the salsine, house sauces for spreading on warm bread. For pasta, lombrichi in the Vitorchiano style, fettuccine all'uccelletto pazzo, pizzicati with courgette or gnocchi 'ncotti, and seasonal soups. For the main course, lamb capomazzi with potatoes, fillet in tredura sauce, roasts with figs or with wine. For dessert, a spoonful of ricotta or cream, or tozzetti with ippocrasso, the house spiced wine.
