Fraschetta Osteria Dar Vignarolo

2 stars because it is an overrated place, maybe 3 stars would have been more fair ... anyway: natural water had a bad taste (like treated unsalted water), vino della casa (not romanella) cheap quality, antipasti basic quality and nothing special, bucatini alla matriciana with overcooked pasta + bad quality guanciale (taste and cut), tasteless tomato sauce.

Great place, very busy, friendly & helpful staff, very good food but a little bit expensive. Higher than medium. Appetizer for 2 was 18 eur, a pasta plate 10 eur.

Dar Vignarolo is everything you expect from a standard "Fraschetta". It's noisy, messy but the food sure is good! Can't miss it if you're in Ariccia and you want to try the amazing Porchetta from this region.

Probably one of the most value for money places I've ever been. 30 euros for what we ate was unheard. The quality was excellent but mind you don't expect fancy plates. This is a traditional roman type of cuisine which is very humble but tasty nonetheless

Every time we come down from Nottingham, we book a spot here. Never missed one opportunity so far. Best place to taste the real Roman food history and tradition, surrounded by one of the best landscape you'll ever see. Remember to book a table outside: having your meal under the bridge is the perfect experience to be cool even when is warm as hell.

The Cacio e Pepe was amazing, the best place in Ariccia for it

A typical Roman place. We took the complete "old style" meal. With giblets, cheese, salami and so on. It is a basic but really good food. The location at the inside is a bit like a football corner pub but the outside is astounding beneath a bow of a bridge with a view at the village below.

While trying to meet friends in the area we were looking for a place where to experience the real Ariccia and Castello romani food and wine. We didn't really know this place, but we found it as the n1 place in the area. I have to say that I agree with most of the previous reviews. Place has the informal vibe of an old inn/osteria. Two vaulted rooms and an outside space in the middle of a car parking. Service is prompt and very chatty and kind. Now let's talk food: really, really great. We were there in 4. Two adults and two children. Us grown ups went for a mixed antipasto (ham, bufala mozzarella, ricotta, salami, spicy salami, bean and pork skin soup, bruschettas, coppiette, capocollo ham and front and centre the dish ariccia is famous for: Porchetta) plus arrosticini (very long and thin bbqed kebabs made of lamb) and a bottle of romanella wine (red fizzy wine). Children went for a bit of our food plus a bbqed sausages and the omni present chips. Everything was delicious and, if I weren't a glutton, more than enough for us all. Unfortunately I am. I couldn't leave without trying another dish the area is famous for: "pasta alla gricia" which is and old relative of a carbonara and amatriciana. At this point the place was packed full of locals which is always a good sign. Pasta took a bit to arrive but it was superlative. After that coffee and bill. All of this humongous banquet was 50 eu. A bargain. We stayed only a night, but otherwise I would have gladly gone back for more. Food, experience, the whole package. 100% endorsed.
