The staff was very kind but be aware hey speak very little Italian. The food was a bit heavy. The wild boar was good. The spaghetti with meat sauce was well prepared. The truffle ravioli was very strong but good. The ambience is very calm and inviting. Here were a lot of English speaking patrons. The town and streets were wonderful. Based on the previous reviews we had very high expectations. The wine selection was impressive with many local wines. Overall we had a good dinner but it didn’t meet the expectation set by other reviewers.

Amazing food! Probably our best meal in Italy so far. We had three courses and each was delightful. Also far cheaper than Rome

This place has unreal food. Outrageously amazing wild boar and lasagna pasta dishes. We started with brushetta pomodora and olive oil, and fried zucchini. Those two together we fabulous! I had the boar with tragliatele pasta. My husband had the lasagna pasta with cheese dish and the two together were superb. I couldn’t eat anymore but my husband had the boar and chocolate second plate with potatoes, the bite I had was so tender and flavorful I wish I had room for more. The waitress brought complimentary lemon dessert and that too was fabulous. We plan to return for another meal before we leave Orvieto. Seriously incredible authentic food! Oh and the wine was soo good and inexpensive! All our food and wine was 60 euro. Great food at a great price.

You must eat hear. The food is amazing as is the owner and the family. Try everything, so this will mean you have to eat there more than once. Thank you Christian for for a delicious meal and the wonderful dining experience.

I can’t stop thinking about the amazing pasta dish I had in this restaurant a few weeks ago! I would travel across the world again in a moment to have just one more bite of their famous«Nidi di rondine pecorino e miele caldo» In four trips to Italy, this dish is one I will never forget!

Fantastic food! Great amount of sauce to pasta ratio, delicious flavours. Best pasta I’ve had so far in my travels. Mains took approx 45 mins to come out however there were a lot of people seated for lunch. Well worth the wait.

Quiet, just off the main road. Delicious, traditional Umbrian food. Good wine selection. Very friendly staff.

This is a hard place for me to rate. The lasagna was amazing – one of the best I have ever had. The house wine was very good as well. However, everything else was very so-so. My friend’s boar braciole was very dry, the pasta with boar tasted like chef boyardee, and I make a much better tiramisu. The service was good and helpful. Overall, it was fine, but I would not go back.

A wonderful spot just off the main corso. I’ve eaten their twice. The first time the ubiquitous Rick Steve walked in to do a little quality control. It is a series of nice rooms with high ceilings and very comfortable. Christian the owner knows what he is doing. Last time we had a party of 10 and had him just bring dishes to share. They do have some strong suits and occasionally they hit a dish out of the park. It is well worth a visit. The staff is great and very helpful. Lots of locals go there as well. Thumbs up.

This place is hard to find, but definitely worth the search! The dining room is small and not fancy, but the food is great and the service is friendly and welcoming. Helps if you speak a little Italian here. Some of the Orvieto ceramic tiles on the walls are really old and very interesting.

Although everything I ate here was not the best, and in fact, the panzanella salad may be one of the worst panzanella salads I’ve ever had, the mushroom pasta was unforgettable! I was so happy to have an amazing mushroom experience in the region known for mushrooms!
