Osteria al Forno di Agnese
About
Located in the picturesque hilltop town of Civita di Bagnoregio, Osteria al Forno di Agnese has been a culinary staple since 1968. The rustic building, with its stone walls and classic Tuscan décor, invites guests to step back in time while overlooking the unique tufa cliffs that surround the village. The menu showcases traditional Sicilian and Tuscan dishes prepared from locally sourced ingredients. Signature items include the house‑made pasta, such as mezzelune with ragù, and the legendary Civitonica Chicken, as well as an array of gluten‑free options. Savory starters, hearty mains, delicate desserts, and a selection of regional wines create a complete dining journey. Whether you dine indoors beneath elegant wallpaper or alfresco beneath a pergola terrace offering panoramic views of the historic streets, the friendly staff ensure a relaxed experience. Guests can reserve a table by calling the restaurant; lunch bookings are not accepted on Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays.
