Overview
The archive entry is explicit about where it is: il Ristorante da Gianfranco si trova ad Acquapendente in provincia di Viterbo — at Acquapendente, in the Alta Tuscia of northern Lazio.
The kitchen offers local specialities made in the house, among them the pasta and its dressings; salt cod and meat dishes are singled out, with produce grown by the proprietors themselves.
History
The trattoria took part in the second series of 4 Ristoranti, broadcast in 2015-16, in the ninth episode: the contest for the best border trattoria, against Alla Capannaccia, Hosteria di Pantalla and Duca di Orvieto. The episode was won by Alla Capannaccia.
The programme 4 Ristoranti, led by the chef Alessandro Borghese, sets four restaurants of the same area against one another; each host eats at the others and marks them.
What you see
Acquapendente lies on the Via Francigena, the pilgrim road to Rome, and the town keeps the crypt of its basilica of the Holy Sepulchre; Trevinano, the hamlet the archive gives as the address, is one of its outlying villages.
