One of the Rieti area's attractions is its excellent cuisine, the thousands of dishes, and many ancient receipes and products that come from this unspoilt land. Rieti's reputation for cuisine stems from the d.o.p. oil from Sabina. Le Stracciatelle in brodo, gli spaghetti alla carrettiera, il pollo alla diavola, l'abbacchio in guazzetto are all enriched with this excellent oil. As for the sweets, the local specialties are i terzetti alla reatina, la copeta (walnuts and honey in laurel leaves) and la pizza di Pasqua.
While travelling around the Rieti area it is impossible to avoid tasting other excellent specialties: Amatrice, with its internationally famous dish gli spaghetti all'amatriciana. , il fallone di Stimigliano. , il farro al tartufo di leonessa. , gli strengozzi alla reatina. , I marroni. e gli stracci di Antrodoco. , le fregnacce alla sabinese. , I fagioli di Borbona. and le sagne scandrigliesi. Rieti, with its lakes, rivers and streams, uses trout and crayfish flavoured by a thousand sauces. Fresh and seasoned sheep's milk cheeses and ricotta cheese are worth tasting, especially . il fiore molle. (with saffron) from Leonessa.
