Da Peppone

One off the beaten track, but after a pleasant drive through beautiful countryside you will be rewarded with a good meal. Once you have found San Giovanni in Tuscia on the map, follow signs to da Peppone on the road that leads from or to Cura di Vetralla. Signature dishes you find all year round, like carpaccio di cervo or prosciutto di cinghiale (wild boar) with smoked ricotta or cod with chickpeas among the starters and filetto di maiale in salsa d’aceto balsamico (pork fillet in balsamic vinegar sauce) or cinghiale alla cacciatora (wild boar marinated in red wine for a day and then cooked with juniper and other spices). The meat is bred and processed locally, so is the oil and the bread. No need to study the wine list, the house wine is truly drinkable!
