"I recommended La Vecchia Quercia to some foreign colleagues of mine who asked me for a place in the countryside nearby Rome to spend a weekend in relax and chilling. They were deeply impressed by the quality of food and stay. The owner Pino and his family are always up to give their guests a warm welcome and assist them in every request. The restaurant is absolutely amazing, ideal for those who intend to experience the true cuisine of Sabina. I go to La Vecchia Quercia every time I can, especially when I want to be sure to have a high-quality meal or when I want to impress friends or colleagues. Essential and high-quality raw materials are the basics of the menu, vegetarian and vegan friendly. Staff is extremely friendly and the location is as simple as pleasant and surrounded by green. In summer it is possible to eat outside. Highly recommended the mixed antipasto/starter which often is enough to cover the entire meal!"

"I would have missed the appetizers also the good ones, but the white boar ragouts tasted them all from my dish, fabulous and roasted, genuine non-commercial, was seen from the cutting of the pieces of meat and the real chicory, of a taste of the ancient times collected directly from the fields. homemade cakes and donuts with anise made by the unique lady, I also bought them. the service not fast suitable for place but very warm and kind. we received a small bakery made in the house made us very pleased. homemade pasta compliments."

"Questo casale immerso nel verde è il posto giusto se si vuole staccare la spina per qualche giorno! C'è molta pace e silenzio nonostante possa ospitare molte persone, la strada è lontana e le macchine non sanno minimamente fastidio, il cibo viene fatto in parte handmade dal proprietario, molto buono, cercano anche di proporre prodotti del territorio che secondo me è sempre un valore aggiunto per questa tipologia di luoghi! C'è anche una bella piscina! -Il cibo è molto buono ma siamo stati lì per il weekend di ferragosto e sostanzialmente il menù è stato sempre lo stesso per due giorni, colazione compresa, visti i tanti prodotti del territorio forse sarebbe da valutare qualche variante specie per chi resta per più di un giorno! -le suite vanno assolutamente risistemate, trovate i segni con i chiodi o i buchi dei vecchi quadri rimossi da l'idea di incuria da parte di chi gestisce la struttura come anche i fili delle lampade da comodino tenuti insieme da uno scotch nero, essendo un casale nel verde e nella natura sarebbe il caso di aggiornare i giochi o i libri a disposizione della clientela...dulcisinfundo i bagni....lo stile vintage non deve essere accompagnato da incuria, il soffione della doccia sporco di calcare non è assolutamente accettabile. -mettere a disposizione dei clienti un frigorifero pulito e leggermente più grande sarebbe d'obbligo, in una suite per 6 persone trovare un minifrigo come quelli da albergo, tralaltro macchiato dentro non è il massimo della comodità. Nel complesso il posto è meraviglioso e con poche accortezze potrebbe essere il top del top!"

"We look for a rustic place to eat well and with little. We bump into this place in the woods, there are taboos and curtains that create large shadow areas, plastic plates, bathroom: a container with canopy eternit... The service is awake and friendly, but very slow... Sit at 13.35 we get up at 4:00!! Miserable appetizers per quantity. First abundant but mediocre: the porcini sauce is a puree flavored, the truffle does not even feel. The meat, it's hot! Too bad there is neither a menu nor a receipt where you can go back to individual prices. We were in 7 and the total was 180€, I don't know how much the scottona cost, neither the fettuccina nor the bottle of water to the plug. Given the location scarna and the good the account was high and not adequate. I'm sorry."

"My wife and I had been missing from Casperia for too many years, ever since the birth of our first child. For three years we had the privilege of living in a splendid house in the center of the town, and we promised ourselves several times to return to relive the unforgettable moments spent there. Finally, last Sunday, we decided to spend a day in Casperia with a couple of our dear friends. My friend, a fine taster, immediately insisted that I book a restaurant, convinced that I knew the best in the area. However, at the time I was staying here, there were very few restaurants, perhaps just a small tavern outside the town. So, trusting the online reviews, I chose La Vigna , a restaurant that promised well, with excellent reviews and a splendid location within the walls of the village, with outdoor tables overlooking the valley. We asked for an outdoor table, and the first positive note already arrived with the coffee we enjoyed upon our arrival, coming from the renowned Emilian roaster Kavè. After walking around the town, looking in vain for the house where we had lived, we headed towards the restaurant. We were welcomed by a lady with exquisite manners who immediately made us feel at ease. After examining the wine list, which I found well assorted, I chose a Riesling from South Tyrol, a wine that I couldn 't miss. The menu was taken care of down to the smallest detail, with proposals designed to enhance the local flavours. Before we started ordering, the lady offered us a taste of two olive oils, including a local cultivar: both simply amazing, a perfect start! We decided to try a platter of cold cuts and cheeses, to test the quality of the 0 km products: a good choice, since they were clearly local, with intense and persistent aromas and flavours. Even though my friend and I were on a diet, we decided to treat ourselves to a free meal , as recommended by my nutritionist. Thus, we tasted the stringozzi with leeks, pecorino and almonds, as well as those with tomato and basil. For the second courses, we let ourselves be tempted by the Armando sausages, prepared by the local butcher with a mixture of pork, spices and aromas that make them unique. Everything was accompanied by delicious parmigiana, baked potatoes and friggitelli, so tender that they melted in your mouth just looking at them. The desserts, even if only described, looked delicious: strawberry mousse with cream, mango parfait and a soft and fluffy apple cake that my friend, giving in to temptation, ordered. To prevent him from exceeding his daily calories, we were happy to help him by all tasting the cake. To conclude, a 5-grain Kavè coffee closed the meal in style. The bill? Irrelevant when you eat with complete satisfaction, enjoying high quality dishes and raw materials, and are welcomed with kindness and professionalism. Well done, we will definitely see each other again."
