The story
N’Uovo Vino e Cucina was born from the inspiration and deep passion of Francesca and Federico. Set within a natural theatre, between the historic beauty of Sutri and the rolling hills of the Tuscia, the restaurant carries a strong “glocal” identity. It offers a modern culinary vision built on care for local, km-zero ingredients.
Leading the kitchen is Chef Simone Lezzerini, whose experience spans starred and fine-dining kitchens. His approach combines gourmet dining with absolute attention to the guest’s experience. He works with high-quality raw materials treated with extreme respect, makes skilful use of the most modern cooking techniques, and pays close attention to seasonality and meticulous plate presentation. This philosophy has earned N'uovo a Michelin Recommended award for 2026, a recognition of its consistent quality and refined contemporary cuisine.
The dining room blends natural materials – chestnut wood, leather, and stone – creating a unique, harmonious atmosphere that feels both exclusive and welcoming. Outdoor seating is available, allowing guests to enjoy the Tuscia landscape.
The cantina offers a broad national selection, carefully chosen from historic wineries and new prospects, a panorama from south to north that presents many excellences. The team has also decided to give voice to the most interesting wineries of Lazio, believing in the importance of local identity. A fitting tribute is paid to France and other significant wine markets worldwide.
The staff comprises hospitality and restaurant professionals with proven experience and a marked propensity for guest care – a loyal, young but trained team that aims to grow together with the establishment.
Guests can choose from degustation menus, such as the 5-course or 6-course tasting experiences, or an aperitivo. These can be paired with a stay at the adjacent 4-star Hotel Antico Borgo di Sutri, housed in a beautifully restored borgo set within an 8-hectare park. N'uovo Vino e Cucina is a place where modern cuisine, local roots, and genuine hospitality converge.
