L'Antica Bottega

About

L'Antica Bottega, nestled in the idyllic hilltop village of Fara in Sabina, offers a culinary pilgrimage that marries the rich traditions of Roman gastronomy with contemporary creativity. Chef Emiliano Chiocchio curates a menu that celebrates local ingredients—think fresh Roman vegetables, artisanal cheeses, and regional meats—while reimagining classics such as carbonara and amatriciana with inventive twists. The ambience is a nostalgic juxtaposition of ancient wooden facades, warm stone walls, and modern touches: a carved‑rock lounge, a fireplace that keeps the hearth glowing in winter, and a sophisticated "Retro Bottega" open bar that invites guests to unwind before dining. Guests are welcomed in a setting that feels both intimate and welcoming, with attentive service that emphasizes family friendliness and the joy of sharing a relaxed meal. Whether it’s a weekend brunch, a romantic dinner, or a cultural event, the restaurant’s versatile rooms accommodate a range of occasions, all under one roof that feels like home. Beyond the dining experience, L'Antica Bottega embraces the surrounding heritage of Fara in Sabina, encouraging visitors to explore nearby historic sites such as the Monastery of Clarisse Ermete and the Archaeological Museum, while delighting in the calm of the nearby Tevere Farfa Nature Reserve.
