 Franco,
owners of the restaurant "Antico Forno" who personally
manage it,propose you some typical local plates you can taste
in the magic atmosphere of Civita. |

Short
history of "Piciarello"
typical pasta of the nortern part of Lazio and of the southern
part of Tuscany, also called Umbrichello, Ciriola, Strozzaprete,
Lumbrichello, Spaghettone, according to the region or village
you go to.
Its
history dates back long time ago when the "spaghettoni"
were made with some flour and water and seasoned with browned
fat, becoming the joy of the guests during festivals.
It
is also said that in the past, in order to get spiritual services,
peasants gave priests some flour and this, together with some
water, was enough for their housekeeper to make pasta (as
eggs were too expensive).The name of "Strozzaprete"
(choke-priest) comes from this story.
