It came with oysters, three types of shrimp, shrimp paste, three types of ceviche, and a carpaccio. My favorite was the carpaccio, which had pieces of freeze dried raspberry on top. The only thing I didn't like was one of the ceviches. We had a plate of fried calamari and shrimp next. The batter was excellent! Lastly, we had a pasta dish with clams. It was simple but delicious. I would say this restaurant was the highlight of our time here in this port city.

Fantastic Pizza!!!!!!!!…read more I live in the general area, about 15 miles from here, and this is my "go to" place for pizza. Every region of Italy has its own style of Pizza, but Naples style is widely considered the absolute best. In fact, throughout Italy, you will never see a place advertise a "style" from another region, except Naples style. Why? Like I said, it is just the best. The owner of this place is from Naples, and his pizzeria is all about bringing some Napoli to Viterbo, and he does it VERY well. While there is a vast menu, I strongly suggest that you try the Pizza Sorrentina here. It is the traditional style, served with Buffalo Mozzarella & Cherry Tomatoes, on a wooden slab.

The room is jus classy and beautiful with brick arcaded roof. The ambiance is a that of a night high class restaurant. They have an ex excellent wine list that covers most of Italy'. I asked our waitress to point us to a local white. She recommended an excellent local vermentino which we very much enjoyed. The menu has some great seafood dishes and well as pastas meats etc. I opted for the risotto pescatore. This dish was a amazing, bursting with fresh seafood and flavor. The risotto was perfectly cooked and it was loaded with fresh mussels, clams and langostinos. Excellent and so well priced. This same dish in my hometown miami would easily be double the price at an equivalent restaurant. The wife had a pasta carbonara which was a truly excellent version of this dish. They were both plentiful so did not try the desserts. The service was excellent as was the ambiance. This place deserves to be jam packed every night.
