Vulantine Bar Trattoria — Restaurant in Riccia

I went here with my boyfriend’s family on holiday, their family originates from Riccia, we are from New York. Vulantine took in our group of 9, and seemingly called in the chef to accommodate us. They asked what we would like, and made a custom family meal for us. Gave us delicious antipasti with local cheeses, breads, vegetables, and meats. Made us all a pasta dish, they were extremely allergy conscious for our friend who has a severe dairy allergy. They were so friendly to us even though we came in barely speaking the language. The restaurant couldn’t have made us feel more welcome. A total highlight for our visit to Riccia, and to Italy. Very reasonable price for a homemade custom meal!
