La Ripetta - ORVINIO

What a nice find in a small town like Orvinio, when you are in a very rainy day in the middle of the autumn season. Tidy venue, pleasant and dedicated service, pretty good food (mainly fish based courses), and more. Lovely accommodation in a cave like hall.

This is a magnificent fish restaurant in an area better known for meat restaurants. Menu is diverse, food is beautifully prepared, and the fish is fresh and cooked to perfection. We went twice, in two consecutive weeks, and will go back soon. Highly recommended

I must tell you, o eaters of good food, of a wonderful and new fish restaurant in the town of Orvinio, Rieti, Lazio, Italy that opened in April of this year. Eating here is just as exotic and tasty as any of a number of cosmopolitan restaurants in Tokyo, London or Singapore. That is to say, the 9 table locale with outside seating and two levels inside serves some of the most innovative fish dishes I have ever tasted in my 50 years of eating out. My husband and I have tried many dishes on the menu along with wine and desserts and we have been Wowed. Spigola (a sea fish) with green olives, manicotti, orange juice, salmon coated with pistaccio served with a mixed greens salad, fritture of seafood served in a wire basket, sauteed mussels just as in Amsterdam with juices and crusty bread....yum, yum, yum. The cook and the servers all work together to ensure that the food is brought out right away and you must try the Vermentino wine which is light and leaves no headache afterwards. The potatoes fried are sliced and fried at the moment and all of the tastes complement each other. We were well fed for 62 euros for two for a Sunday lunch, including a chocolate pear tortino with fresh cream and homemade ice cream. Ristorante La Ripetta is open only 3 days weekly: Friday, Saturdays and Sunday lunch at 1 pm. 'Betta, the proprietor, a soon to be mom, is gracious and charming as owner/server. For conneiseurs of fine food, this hole-in-the-wall should be on your to try list. Baci a tutti!

Anche in montagna SI può mangiare pesce di mare. Fresco,cucinato con cura. Nel menù ci sono piatti classici o ricercati. Il servizio è veloce e anche se il locale non è molto grande è piacevole e accogliente. Lasciate un piccolo posticino per il dolce.......

Cucina di alto livello, piatti di pesce molto ben preparati. Fatti dalla chef anche i dolci, i biscotti al limone eccezionali. Panettoni di pasticceria prodotti da loro di una qualità superiore, quello al limoncello il top. Servizio molto cortese. Ci tornerò
