Ovidio, also known as Publius

Ovidius Naso (43 BC – AD 17) was

the name of a well known Roman

poet, best know for his collections

authors such as Shakespeare &

Dante. Ovidio was born in

Sulmona, Italy, which is also the

hometown of Franco, the owner of

Ovidio Ristorante. Because of

hometown, he & his wife Virginia

decided to bring the Italian culture

and their family recipes with them

to the Central Valley. Opening his

restaurant in 1979, Ovidio Ristorante

has been locally owned & operated

for over 30 years. Managed by their

son Rocco, the Paolilli family is

happy to host you for any

occassion. We are so glad that
