ristorazione — Rieti · Lazio
In Rieti, on one of the central avenues, there is a pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) shop that customers describe as the best in the city. It is not an advertising promise: it is the verdict built up over time by those who keep coming back, slice after slice.
On Viale Emilio Maraini, in the heart of Rieti, Nuova Pizzeria Il Viale is a landmark the locals know well. Behind it are the brothers Luca and Mauro: a family-run business that shows in the way the place is lived in, day after day, by those who return.
The indoor seating and the veranda welcome families and regulars alike, in an unpretentious setting where substance matters more than appearance. It is the kind of place that has no need to convince anyone: the loyalty of longtime customers speaks for itself, visit after visit.
The pizza al trancio (pizza by the slice) is made with a light, well-leavened dough that yields a crisp crust and a lightness that stands out. The flavours on offer are many — from the classics like the tomato and mushroom rossa to more elaborate variations — and they change with the seasons, without ever letting the quality of the dough take second place.
A slice of pizza al taglio, crisp and light: Rieti's excellence, according to those who have known it for years.
