"Stafffs are very kind and place are gorgeous with mural painting
. Bongole pasta was so chewy and lamb was well cooked and tasty. I would like to come again."

"Super friendly staff and great food! We ordered eggplant parmigiana, scialatelli volgole, and potato for a side. They even give you a welcome dish, which I forgot what it was but I think it was fried fish ball and fried polenta. It was good. Scialatelli was also well seasoned and generous amount of clams which was nice. Eggplant was really tasty. Potato was a bit salty but overall great!"
Seo Jung Park
"Very friendly staff, so friendly that you felt bad to turn down their convincing offers. We are not dessert persons but we ended up ordering desserts. The ambience of the restaurant was very Italian. We ordered spaghetti with clams that was not on the menu. The scialatielli with pork cheek that was recommended by the owner was very tasty."

Taverna Quintilia is located in the historic center of Tivoli, near Piazza Santa Croce, in one of the narrowest streets of Tivoli. The atmosphere is elegant, nice and embellished by Roman frescoes in its halls. The menu offers a wide choice, but we suggest to try the fish, cooked with passion by the owners, of Neapolitan origin, taking both the traditional recipes that the most elaborate and sophisticated inspired by the best traditions of the Amalfi Coast.
