Ristorante Pizzeria Da Ivaldo: a story of taste and tradition since 1961

Montefiascone, a town nestled on the shores of Lake Bolsena, is a place where time seems to pass more slowly. Here, along the picturesque lakeside, is the Da Ivaldo Pizzeria Restaurant, a symbol of hospitality and authentic flavors that has won over generations of customers since 1961. Entering Ivaldo is not just a culinary experience, but a journey through time, between tradition, innovation and a breathtaking view.

Our story begins more than 60 years ago, when Ivaldo, a lover of Italian cuisine, decided to open a small restaurant to share his love for food and conviviality. Over the years, that dream has turned into a reality that continues to evolve without ever losing its connection with its origins. Two major renovations, in 2000 and 2022, have given new life to the restaurant, keeping intact the warm soul that characterizes it.

Today, Da Ivaldo is a place where stories intertwine. It is the perfect setting for family dinners, romantic evenings and toasts with friends. Every detail, from the arrangement of the tables to the bright atmosphere of the internal room, is designed to make guests feel at home, without ever giving up that touch of elegance that makes every visit special.

Our aperitifs on the lake

There is a magical moment, just before the sun sets, when Lake Bolsena is tinged with golden shades and the light breeze caresses the lakeside. It is in this context that Da Ivaldo invites you to live the unique experience of our aperitifs on the lake.

Our outdoor area, directly overlooking the water, is the ideal place to relax after a day of work or to start a special evening. Sitting comfortably, you can enjoy the view while sipping a glass of selected wine or one of our craft beers. We accompany our aperitifs with a selection of freshly prepared appetizers: crunchy bruschetta, local cured meats, fresh cheeses and many other small delights that enhance the pleasure of sharing.

Aperitifs at Da Ivaldo are not just an opportunity to taste, but a real ritual. The reflection of the lights on the lake, the relaxing sound of the waves and the warmth of the welcome create an atmosphere that remains etched in your memory. Whether you are looking for a moment of tranquility or want to celebrate a special occasion, our staff will be ready to make your aperitif a unique experience.
