Ristorante La Vecchia Quercia — Restaurant in Selci

You will have a handful of fabulous stays on a 1500 km pilgrimage, moments of pure joy, of magnified serenity.|Anna and Giuseppe, the owners of La Vecchia Quercia, offered us this during our stay. ||You arrive at their place and you're first offered to relax with a glass of wine, water or beer and homemade olives. |You will have to take your time and enjoy the place and the atmosphere.||And then, Giuseppe will bring you past the wood pizza oven to your rooms. They are as exuberant as the man. They are also comfortable and well equipped. ||After settling down you will god for dinner. And you will taste Anna's delicious food. But beware of the quantity. It is gargantuan. ||Go also in the garden, the park. Beautiful with all plants Anna would need for her cooking.||If you're lucky, Giuseppe will show you the view from their private terrace: a terrific view on the Sabine Hills and the Apenine.||The next morning we had baked pastries from Anna's oven.

We stayed at Villa Vallerosa and they recommended La Vecchia Quercia for lunch when we first arrived. We shared a huge selection of antipasti and a bottle of the local white wine. Pino was a wonderful host and even gave me some grappa after the meal and gave my wife two lemons for us to take with us. Two days later we returned for dinner. The most intimate meal was served because we were the only ones in the restaurant and sat in front of the fire place on a cold, rainy night. We did not order from a menu, Pino just served the best they had to offer. First a freshly made foccacia with olive oil and rosemary. Then a toast with a wonderful panchetta, smoked duck, fried artichokes, ravioli with wild boar, pici with lamb, fresh greens and little anise-flavored donuts topped off with both rosso and blanco wine!

Excellent B&B, restaurant and hosts! Do not miss this gem in Italy. My wife and I have eaten here a number of times and have also stayed at the B&B and we LOVE it and the owner and his family. The restaurant is excellent and the food is made entirely by hand and from fresh local ingredients. The antipasto is a must have. It is a meal in itself with many small plates... ever one delicious. Breads and pasta are great as well. Again, all hand made by Chef Anna. The restaurant atmosphere is lovely. ||||The B&B consists of 3 well appointed, clean and comfortable apartments. Each is unique and so wonderfully Italian. And the value is great as well.||||Pino and Anna are literally the best hosts we have experienced in our many trips to Europe. You will immediately be made to feel like family. The Sabine area is beautiful and not touristy. It is the real Italy. We highly recommend La Vecchia Quercia...
