Civita di Bagnoregio is a unique destination: a pristine Medieval village on a promontory set in a vaste valley carved into volcanic rock by two rivers. Its only connection to the modern world is a footbridge by which you will travel the last half mile of your voyage into another world, virtually untouched by modern life. This town founded by the Etruscans, conquered by the Romans, shaped by the architecture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance is located in central Italy in the Lazio region at the border with Umbria. It survives and thrives in the heart of the Alta Tuscia, the beautiful and historically rich land of the Etruscans, and offers a gateway not only to the past but to many beautiful villages and towns in southern Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Lazio. If you are travelling by car, Civita di Bagnoregio is 15 minutes south of the Orvieto exit on the A1 highway connecting Rome to Florence, 15 minutes east of the ancient Via Cassia connecting Rome to Siena. The closest train station is Orvieto which is only 15 minutes away and about an hour’s ride from Rome. The closest airport is in Perugia but Rome’s Fiumicino airport is the most convenient for international travel (1.5 hours away). hile Civita is a wonderfully isolated, almost otherwordly spot, an oasis of tranquility and romance, there are several restaurants and 2 café / bars in town. You can find all the other amenities required for a pleasant stay in its sister city of Bagnoregio--the town on the other side of the footbridge and less than a mile away. This includes banks, a gas station, a weekly market, a supermarket, bakeries, and all the other wonderful shops a typical small Italian town has to offer. While Civita is famous for its beauty and links to antiquity, Bagnoregio was made famous by Fellini who filmed the movie La Strada on its streets. So geologically, geographically, historically and culturally, Civita and its environs are located at the juncture of the heart and soul of Italy!!

Forno di Agnese
One of our favorite places in town and just around the corner from Domus Civita, It is run by lovely owner Manuela who is always charming and happy to assist and accomodate anybody. The food is authentic and delicious home cooking of traditional recipes sometimes with a little twist. The service is like being in a friend’s home, gracious and genuine. Great local wines, Antipasti and a delicious lemon tiramisu’! Located just off the main piazza, across from the church.

La Cantina
This is quintessential Civita as it has been for decades. It is a restaurant without a kitchen! Everything they serve is either grilled on the fireplace (meat, sausages, vegetables), cooked under the ash (potatoes, to die for), fresh cut with a knife (prosciutto, salame, bread), or preserved and marinated in the owner Antonio’s olive oil (eggplants, zucchini, peppers, etc.) Service is rustic with plastic plates and paper napkins but the flavors are authentic, delicious and the ambiance just perfect! Located next to the church

Mercatello
At the base of the foot bridge is a good restaurant with a great view of Civita from its terrace. The cuisine is very local and always genuine and includes fresh fish from nearby Tirrenian sea as well as lake Bolsena. The service is friendly and attentive. Across from the restaurant is one of the best gelato icecream bars in the area. Perfect on any time of day but especially on a hot summer afternoon! Try the mint and the chocolate flavors!

Bagnoregio

Il Bocconcino
Is a tiny little restaurant just across the stone gate of the city. It serves a mixture of local and Sardinian cuisine (the owner is from the island of Sardinia) in a cozy atmosphere. The food is very well prepared and the flavors very good. We enjoyed the selections of wines, all from local producers.

Bolsena

La Pineta
This restaurant has a lovely location on the Bolsena lake shore, just a 15 minutes drive from Civita and a few steps from the center of Bolsena old town and castle. It specializes in fish delicacies including seafood and lake fish and serves mostly fixed sampling menus that are quite good! All their food is well prepared and the service always very professional.
