The bread is baked at the restaurant and the olive oil is made for the restaurant. The bread was soft and warm, and perfect with the olive oil, which was mild and light. We'd never had artichokes like these--prepared with mint, garlic, and bread. Yummy. The pasta was even better. I can't recall the exact name--Ametrianna is close-- but it had a tomato sauce that was really well balanced and had small pieces of the local bacon. The tiramisu was a big hit--2 types--traditional and the other had fresh strawberries. A lovely meal outdoors in a patio that is sheltered from the wind.

The waiter and owner were personable, friendly, and enthusiastic about their house made pastas and desserts. We ordered the mortadella and baked mozzarella for starters; we determined the wild boar ragu paired with oranges and freshly made pasta was the most flavorful item on the table, a recommendation offered by our waiter. Would definitely return to dine here and try other seasonal items while relaxing in their romantic ambience.

A fantastic meal indeed…read more Who knew that you could find a meal that would outshine the incredible location of Civita di Bagnoregio?! Having lunch at Alma Civita happened thanks to our tour guide during our visit to Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio. I must say, I'm happy for the detour and the torturous walk across the bridge and up the hill. Our meal was simple, yet made with the freshest of ingredients many from the owner's farm and picked that morning. We started out with a round of bruschetta, followed by a simple pasta with fresh veggies. The delicate flavors melded together to create the perfect light pasta dish. A true masterpiece. This was followed by a plate of smoked pork and potatoes. All perfectly seasoned and presented. The house wine was from their own vineyards and was a nice play on all the food presented. Overall, this was an exceptional lunch, in an exceptional restaurant in a exceptional locale. Go to visit the town and stay for the fantastic food and experience. OH SO GOOD!

Soraya did not care for her broccoli soup but I had the pleasure of finishing it. But the best were the grilled meats, cooked beside us on the fire -- chicken legs grilled with rosemary and steak. We had a nice carafe of a local red wine. Then dessert included a superb creme brulee, orange flavored cheese wedges with cinnamon mousse, and chocolate souflee. We left with stomachs sagging.

It is on a nondescript street, down a few steps into a delightful small and cozy cave-room. You really need a reservation to be guaranteed a table. Peeking out from the small kitchen window is the cook/wife/owner and greeting us and taking our order was the husband/owner.

Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.
