Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in the Province of Terni

I wish I could have taken better pictures. The food was outstanding! The best eggplant parmigiana I have ever had. The attentive and caring staff did everything to accommodate our late walk-in. I would eat here for lunch and dinner every day if we lived close by. What a fantastic meal!

This place was magical. They deserve to be in the Michelin Guide again for sure. Don't miss the Lasagna and if they have the asparagus pasta GET IT. One if not the best meal we have ever had!

My husband had dinner here on our one night in Orvieto and would absolutely recommend! Cozy, intimate restaurant and delicious local cuisine. We tried the carpaccio, wild boar pasta, and pigeon. Everything was cooked wonderfully and very reasonably priced. Service was a bit slow but normal by Italian standards. The dining area is fairly small, so make a reservation or be prepared to possibly wait.

A small restaurant hidden in a narrow alleyway that you almost would not notice close to the Duomo in Orvieto. The chef herself served our table. It was a little hard to communicate in English, but she was very friendly and patient. My favorite was the wild boar stew with chocolate and candied fruits, but the ravioli and nidi di rodine pecorino e miele caldo were both very good, and very rich and filling. Overall a nice restaurant in the old Orvieto town.

We dropped in here for a late lunch and were really "wowed" by the food and service. I had the fava bean carbonara and it was incredible! Good table wine. We enjoyed our meal so much we came back a second time.

Wonderful food and very kind service—my friend and I ate here this evening & had a great time! When we ordered our appetizer, it was strange that the menu did not list the topping on the bruschetta—which I think was a type of pâte. Normally something like that would be listed on a menu—especially since bruschette traditionally have many different toppings, but it was tasty and was served alongside five or six different slices of local salami and prosciutto. The restaurant has a couple of dining rooms that are small and we sat in the front dining room. We stayed for around two hours. we were almost to the first customers to come in and by time we left the place was full. I'll be back sometime!

A Hidden Gem in Orvieto – Absolutely Phenomenal We had dinner at Trattoria del Moro Aronne in Orvieto, and it was one of the most memorable meals of our trip. Important tip: Make reservations. This is a small, cozy restaurant, and we watched them turn away multiple walk-ins throughout the evening. The Wine: Don't overlook the house red – it's excellent and the perfect complement to their dishes. And limoncello at the end of the meal was fantastic! What We Ordered: Eggplant Parmesan (appetizer) – Quite possibly the best I've ever had. Perfectly executed. Bird's Nest Vegetarian Lasagne with Pecorino and Honey – This was Creamy, subtly sweet, and so light it practically melted in my mouth. The combination of savory pecorino with a touch of honey was absolutely divine and surprisingly refreshing. Tagliatelle with Wild Boar Sauce – Pure, rich deliciousness. No tomato in this sauce – just deep, concentrated flavor that lets the wild boar shine through. Steak with Gorgonzola and Chocolate – My husband's choice, and he loved it. Who would have thought it paired so well! It was delicious! Dessert: We ordered both the tiramisu and the "chocolate cake." Get the chocolate cake. It's not actually a cake – it's a warm, molten chocolate mound surrounded by cream. Heavenly. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, and the service was wonderful. This place delivers an exceptional dining experience without any pretension. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended!!!! The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was bursting with flavor. We loved the atmosphere, the food, and the friendly staff especially miss Chiara who always served us.. A perfect Lunch "The service was attentive and friendly, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable."

One of the best and most amazing places I’ve visited worldwide! Food out of this world, every bite was a joy. The whole team is super friendly, especially Samantha with her kindness and great tips. A bit pricey, but absolutely worth it!

Wow! I'd like to begin this review with the fact that I'd been waiting years to try this place. I first started following them from the U.S. with the intention that if I ever went back to Italy I would make it a priority to get here. Staying near Milano with a quick trip to Roma, we made a detour so that we could try it. It did not disappoint. While I would liked to have had a tagliere, we had to get the food to go. We ended up getting the porchetta, porchetta chips, guanciale, candy bites, french fries, focaccia, and visciole crostata. The meats and sides were all amazing. I typically don't eat a lot of meat while at home, but I'd move to Terni just to eat at this place everyday. As for the crostata, it was the first place in a while that I'd seen visciole so I couldn't resist getting it. However, while the dough part was good, I couldn't really taste the visciole. But let's not kid ourselves, you don't go to a macelleria for the crostate. Finally, the service was great. The staff are really friendly. We had a wonderful experience and hope to go back when we can sit down and enjoy a meal at the restaurant. Enjoy!!!

Best place for meat and salumi in the Umbria region. You can both take away or eat in the restaurant. Both places offer top quality food and the prices are quite affordable. Sometime might take some time for the takeaways but it’s worth it waiting.

Macelleria Pucci was not as good as expected, food quality was insane but i believe the place has become too famous which has attracted the masses. Unfortunately this made the service very chaotic and the ambiance unpleasant.

The most delicious Porchetta-everything I've ever had. Also, gracious staff that also speaks English.

We missed the lunch window and they graciously sat us as they were preparing dinner service. I loved the gnocchi and the Caesar salad. The carbonara was a little too salty but that’s just individual taste.

Fantastic lunch during our family’s day in Orvieto. Delicious food and wonderful service. Our 1 year old daughter was able to enjoy the Carrot Soup and Gnocchi with us. Highly recommend for anyone spending the day in Orvieto while exploring Umbria!

One of our favorite restaurants and experiences in all of Umbria! The patio was breathtaking and the food, especially the pistachio filet, was truly memorable and remarkable. The pastas are all made by hand each day and the restaurant was beautiful and so clean and we really enjoyed our time here. We brought our kids as well and they loved their food. They also had high chairs and lots of space inside and outside.

A lovely place for lunch or dinner. There was plenty of seating inside and out. We went for the asparagus and speck risotto and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly, also reasonably priced. Would definitely return if we came back to Orvieto.

Excellent dinner for our last night in Orvieto. Setting outdoors was lovely, even with it being a hot day. We particularly liked the carrot soup, tagliatelle with wild boar ragu sauce and the risotto.

Beautiful food and excellent service. We loved the local natural wines, and the pigeon was delicious.

The starter "Pozzo degli Etruschi" is something more than delicious. Great raw ingredients, wisely mixed. Main courses, pasta at first, are superlative. A step down the meat (tagliata), but guys what's the pasta ... Optimally cooked, well hand-preparation, magistral and histrionic sauces and flavors. Oh my God! Super! Desserts very good and a very good quality coffee. 5 stars for starters, 7 pasta, 3.5 meat, 5+ dessert. Good job guys, keep pushing!

Much nicer off season (September) when the waiting staff have more time for interaction. Food and wine selection was excellent.

Nice place with outdoor seating available. I tried a local dish—pigeon in olive sauce. It was a small portion but very delicious and flavorful. My family also enjoyed their meals. The service was okay—don’t expect smiles or warmth. It felt strictly business, and at times, it seemed like the staff didn’t enjoy being there.

Amazing experience to taste a little bit of history. We went there on a Friday night for dinner. I was looking forward to try the pigeon dish. We had a starter with some ham and salami cuts. That was just ok. Nothing special, but not bad. We ordered to dishes, for my wife the boar ragu, that was good and with very good depth of flavour. Myself I had the pigeon with the olive sauce. And that was a very nice experience, the sauce with rosemary and olive oil where the pigeon was cooked was amazing. The pigeon itself I can describe as a lean duck. In general good experience, taste a little bit of history of orvieto with that dish.

It’s always a big pleasure for my tummy every time I return to Palomba. The food is consistently delicious, and the staff are always warm and welcoming. In the summer, I especially love sitting at the outdoor tables surrounded by the beautiful flowers on the walls — it adds such a charming touch. Thank you, Palomba, for staying true to yourself and not changing over the years. Please never change!

When in Orvieto this is a must reserve. We visit the city 2-3 times a year and La Palomba is always on our reservation list. Great traditional food. Friendly staff and a guaranteed good quality meals. If you don’t reserve it will likely be full!

La Palomba came highly recommended by a long time friend and visitor to Orvieto and it did not disappoint. When you are standing of the apex mountain of the most amazing Italian dish you have eaten and you look up you will realise there is a higher apex where they are serving the tagaliatelle alla “Don Marcello”. You simply must try it.

Outstanding food. Best "matricciana" I've ever have in my life. Must try the house olive oil - superb. Very nice wine list. The house wine is a great deal, but you can choose between a great variety of italian wines. Great staff. A place to come back and enjoy over and over.

Very good food. The soup was only dish that wasn't tasty. Would go back again.

The food a this place is good, but the pânico is on of the best I had in my whole trip across Italy. We were there for lunch, I had the beed stew that was amazing, very tender and packed with flavour. My wife had the panino of the season with figs, that was one of the best paninos I ever had. Highly recommend. We went later on the same day for some other dishes, the fungi pasta was very good Special shout out for their house dessert with ricotta, some house made jam and hazelnut. Very good dessert

This is the worst place in orvieto to get a porchetta sandwich. We should have known that this place was a joke when the proprietor or who allowed us to be seated outside wouldn’t let my son and i to split a €12 porchetta sandwich. Then he would not let my wife sit down with us to just have a beer or bite of our sandwiches which incidentally were horrible (one slice of lousy porchetta and a potato smear). Unless she bought a meal too. Many other better places for delicious porchetta in Orvieto besides this tourist trap.

Loved the Umbricelli pasta here! We had two and both were delicious!

We went looking for fresh truffles for lunch and asked if they had any. They told us it wasn’t the season and that only the truffle sauce was available. That was fine, but when we politely decided to leave, their reaction confirmed we had made the right choice. Instead of simply respecting our decision, they responded with arrogance, saying things like “try to find it” and “all you’ll get anywhere else is frozen truffles”, followed by more arrogant comments. Their attitude was unprofessional and unwelcoming. We were grateful we walked out — I’d rather spend my money somewhere that values its customers and we did, in the corner there is another restaurant and treated us very nicely.

˚ ༘ 🇬🇧 L'Oste del Re ♡̆̈. The fresh pasta was quite chewy and a dente!! Absolutely love the texture but We couldn’t try the truffle pasta 😭🥲😢 cos it’s not in the season right now we only got the pasta in truffle sauce🥹

One of the best things we ate in Italy! We had the focaccia with porchetta sandwich and OMG I keep thinking about it. Orvieto is a charming town, but this was the highlight. And thank you for the warm, gracious service.

Delicious food with cute drawings of boars! The music played within the restaurant is impeccable too. We ordered the truffle sandwich and ragu pasta.

Amazing food and service! Very authentic experience at super affordable prices. We had the lemon honey chicken and the Carbonara and they were both incredible! Must go!

Superb. Very interesting, historical take on the menu. Everything was delicious. Service was incredible. They took our dinner reservation for a night they were to be closed by mistake. We got there and the chef had opened the place just for us! Highly recommend.

Chef Adler perfects traditional Orvieto style recipes. Her herbs and spices are unique. The lemon chicken and umbrichelli with traditional ragu used were exceptional!

A must try if you are in Orvieto! Went there for lunch, and the food was absolutely superb! My very demanding Italian husband is still raving about it. Recommend trying the truffle or porcini pasta and the herb roast beef (must have)! They offer some dishes dating back to 500s. The lady owner is amazing, very attentive and passionate about food!

I’m so glad I found this place! They have historical recipes from the 15th and 16th centuries. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with lemon and chestnut honey, a 16th century recipe, and it was soooooo GOOOOOD!! Absolutely delicious! And surprisingly filling. The lady that served me, I’m wondering if she’s the owner, was so friendly and patient with everyone. Also the food was served very quickly. Fast and friendly service along with DELICIOUS historical foods = perfection! In all seriousness, I’m actually planning another trip to Orvieto from New York City just for this restaurant very soon. I need to try all the historical recipes they have!

Traditional Italian food @ Duca di Orvieto, Orvieto 🇮🇹 # 16th Century Italian receipt 👨🏼‍🍳👀 # Service here is very good. Staff are so friendly. 💖 # Orvieto Classico, umbrichelle al tartufo, pepos con le pere alla moda del ‘500’ and handmade melon gelato 🍨 # So delicious 😋 worth to go

The food here was absolutely amazing, and the most unique food I've had in Italy. I was only going to get a pasta, but once I started eating, I had to have more. It's so delicious. I can't recommend it highly enough! The red wine pasta was just spectacular!

Stopped here while travelling north on the A1. The place is not right out of the highway, but also not too far. If not in a rush it's a great option for travellers. Staff was friendly and attentive and pasta was really good. There's both shaded outdoor seating and indoor seating with AC. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially with larger vehicles. Ask the restaurant for recommendations on where to park.

Eco/organic restaurant right outside ORVIETO walls. What a find! Excellent reasonable pricing for top freshly prepared food typical of the area. Very good selection of wines and the dessert is yummy. They prepare a daily menu on what they have fresh that day purchasing the fresh seasonal ingredients from local organic farmers. A place not to miss..walking distance from train station with outside space to enjoy your meal!

Incredible meat and great place to stop by if you’re on the A1 highway

Extraordinary food, very good wine. Working personal kind and nice. A really good place.

Lovely little place, very friendly staff 🤗

We had two pasta dishes for dinner. The better one was the homemade pasta with sausage and porcini mushroom even so were not fresh. The other pasta cacio e pepe with truffles was ok. The flavor of the truffle didn't come thru as i had envisioned. They should shave the truffle rather than cooking them in the sauce. Wine list was good at fair prices.

We just had an amazing lunch at Osteria del Grillo. First of all a nice antipasti with bruschetta, salumi, prosciutto etc and after that a really nice pasta with porcini and truffle. Spareribs as secondi and a very nice tiramisu as dessert. And all for a very affordable price with a great service! Next time when we are in the area we will definite come back! Thanks so much! ❤️🙏🏼

Pretty disappointed relative to reviews. Everything tasted undersalted, and the service was only so so. Huge wine list and lovely setting

I happened upon this place because it was the ONLY restaurant I found open on a January Monday in Orvieto (I walked to 10 other closed locations that were “open” on Google hours). The dining room seemed a little odd, but once I went to the bathroom and saw the incredible patio through the restaurant, I would have much preferred to be seated there. It was not mentioned to me, although I was the only patron in the restaurant when I arrived. As for the food, I was blown away. The Amantriciana with Umbricelli was unlike any I’ve had. Delicious. The house focaccia and loaf were exceptional. I also bake long-ferment sourdough and know a good one when I get one. Tiramisu was interesting, crunchy cookies in the bottom with no coffee flavor, but perfectly not too sweet. As the restaurant filled in, I noticed many people were getting the artichoke and cod appetizer dish, wish I would have added to my order had I more room. People were licking their lips. I may go back for the diaphragm and shrimp bone marrow dish. Brava!

Read raving reviews about this place and the crowd, so I came early to be the first few customers at the opening for lunch. The menu is seasonal and changes based on the freshest ingredients they can get. I ordered the grilled lamb and a glass of the local Orvieto Classico. Everything is PERFECT! The bread is perfect too! So delicious that even though I was so full from just the main course, I can't help but have another slice! The grilled lamb chop is the best I've ever had from anywhere in the world (other than the freshly grilled whole lamb in Mongolia)! The lamb was perfectly grilled, it has a crunch on the outside (like roast pork) so when you bite into it, the fat crackles but still very tender on the inside. The fragrant lamb fats ooze with each bite! It was paired simply with sour purple cabbage. You know it's pure good food when it doesn't need much fancy stuff. Marination was just right, not salty at all and you taste the lamb perfectly. Heavenly deliziosa! I wish I had a stomach for more but will have to save it for next time!

The staff were happy to take a reservation for our group of 8 in just 60 minutes after we arrived, perfect amount of time to explore Orvieto at night and find drink to pass the time. When we returned the table was set beautifully. Some of us are vegan and vegetarian and they were more than happy to accomodate by altering some dishes. The food and wine was absolutely incredible, all 8 of us were blown away by the presentation and taste of our dishes. It’s not the cheapest dinner you’ll find in town, but it is absolutely worth the price!

It was a sleepy evening in Orvieto and the front of the restaurant was pretty empty but the menu was tempting so we ventured inside. They have an inside courtyard in the back and that’s where the action was. The Baffo Orvientano is for bacon lovers and definitely recommended. We had a risotto which was very good as well as the wines.

We are so happy to find this hidden gem in Orvieto. We had a cod as starter, tagliatelle with black truffle, lamb with hazelnut, and tripe as main dishes. All very good! We also asked for side does-- mixed salad and spinach are both excellent.

Very private and cozy place. My family stopped in for Lunch in June 2019. Staff was very friendly, service was perfect, food was cooked well and tasted great. The prices were very reasonable, and they had a good selection of wine. I would visit this place again if I am back in Orvieto.

Our best meal in Italy! We loved the warm family service and the fresh meat and cheeses. With the bill they brought us this delicious sweet wine with biscuits, and the truffle pasta was delicious. They're so genuinely friendly and the best cooks. Will never forget this place!

The Osteria Antica Bottega al Duomo is a really cozy place with a rustic interior and nice, warm lighting. Prices are a bit on the higher side (pasta dishes around €15–18), but the portions are fine. The Service was okay. The pasta dishes were very tasty, and the tiramisu was light and fluffy. I dislike that they didn’t allow one person to have a menu and one person taking a pasta plate (both or none) and can’t see the reason for that. Another downside: not very sustainable. They use disposable table covers and single-use packaging for cutlery and napkins, which feels a bit unnecessary for such a nice restaurant.

One of the best Italian real food we ever tasted. A must try spot at Orveito

We were in Orvieto on March 9th, and have since visited many other places. Now already in Thailand and I finally have sometime to sit down and comb through millions of pictures. This family-style restaurant is minutes away walking from the grand duomo. A must go! We strolled in around 3pm so it’s quiet. The woman who received us spoke flawless English and was filled with smile and good spirit. She recommended food and wine to us - everything turned out to be fantastically delicious. We ordered home-made red to go with our food. She also generously treated us with after meal wine (strong!) and another sweet wine to go with complimentary dessert (so good!). Check out the emptied glasses on our table😅 A pleasant chat with the owner revealed the story: she had opened and operated an Italian restaurant in North Bergen New Jersey in the US for many years, before going back to hometown Orvieto for her daughter’s education. She and Lucy had a great ‘rendezvous’ about Jersey City over places they knew in common. This might explain all the free treats we were offered😆. When you are in Orvieto and near the Duomo, do pay a visit to this place - you won’t be disappointed, in any way.

Alert alert - tourist trap! Chad comes out and offers you a taste of wine and cheese. Alert alert!!! Ordered wine and never got it, and still tried to charge us. Waiters argued in front of us on whose responsibility it was. Don’t order the veggie sandwich!! Cheese plate looked okay - but how can anyone get that wrong?!

Stop browsing - go here! One of the very best meals we’ve had in the whole of Italy. I had the wild boar sauce on pasta and it was divine. My partner had artichoke pasta in truffle oil and again it was amazing. Service fantastic atmosphere soft and warm. Well priced as well with decent size portions.

We had high expectations on the porchetta panini, but it was dry and the bread too hard. Pasta was good!!! The restaurant was beautiful and the attention fine.

Food was amazing! We had the Spaghetti alla Carbonara and the Lombrichelle all’ Amatriciana. The carbonara rich and plenty. We liked the Amatriciana better with its touch of spicy and flavor. We shared the Veal with mushrooms.excellent flavor. I had the house red. It was busy from the start. So no real interaction with server. I would have like to ask more questions, but not possible here. Reservations a must. Our host from our Airbnb made us a reservation. We went back a second time we liked it so much. Prices good along with the sides we had.

Orvieto is quiet and friendly smallish town in Umbria and the food there is exquisite. Mezza Luna is no exception with some outstanding dishes severed by wonderful people in a very "homey" restaurant setting. Nonna would be happy here. The carbonara was very rich, delicious and a fantastic breakfast since I had to take half back to the hotel, it was sooooo much food! This was our last restaurant to visit in Orvieto and we were so happy to have made it in with no reservation. The staff was very generous and graceful to our needs. It will be a joy to revisit this restaurant when we move to our house in February next year. Finche non ci incontreremo di nuovo.

Wonderful literal hole in the wall. This restaurant was recommended by a local and it did not disappoint. Their signature dish is carbonara, but our waiter suggested an antipasti and a few pastas to share. A+ excellent experience. We arrived right at opening and were seated for lunch without a reservation. The place was packed by 1:00.

Just got out from dinner. What a fantastic experience. My wife heard about it from Rick Steves. Verdura Cotta, sautéed chicory was a 10 as was the spaghetti carbonara, and I don’t even like bacon. The atmosphere is very local with a sprinkling of Americans. Antonio is the star of the show. Just go!

Delicious food! Everything was really good, maybe portions were a bit too big for us 😀 highly recommend!

A must visit in Orvieto. Best Carbonara on the planet. We never miss eating here. A reservation is a must to get a seat. Affordable and delicious!!!

We absolutely loved this place. We did an overnight in Orvieto and had dinner here. I had the carbonara which was so good I tried to finish it but the portion was just too generous! You can tell this is a local place as a local team was having a fun night out. We will absolutely be back next time we're in Orvieto

We had lunch at the restaurant. It is possible to eat outside as well as indoors. We opted for indoors even though, we had our miniature schnauzer with us. By the way, we did not have a reservation, the place was empty and we were concerned that the experience might not be good. We were wrong; the food was fresh and yummy and the service excellent and friendly. Tagliatelle with the artichoke with dried tomatoes and ham was perfect and the wild boar stew ,surprisingly ,not gamey at all , delicious ! Many thanks to the chef and the crew

We just walked in and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the service impeccable. The price was reasonable as well. Narni is a gem and so is this restaurant. We'll be back

Nice place with pizza and local dishes in the centre of Narni. Good service and possibly to sit both inside and out in the middle of the street. The outside place is shady and cool on a warm summer day and you will really share the street with the traffic. It is possible to find space inside for bigger groups of people. The restaurant accepts credit cards. There is also a shop selling local cheese, ham and sausage connected to the restaurant.

We didn't even plan to eat in Narni but we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, the service impeccable and the prices reasonable as well. The Trippa alla Ternana (tripes), Spezzato di Cinghiale (wild boar stew) and Tagliata al Tartufo Nero (sliced ​​steak with black truffle) were spectacular. We'll be back!

The best place to eat in Narni, local food of high quality in a very beautiful location. What I mean for local food? Faraona alla leccarda, coniglio porchettato, manfricoli, pappardelle al cinghiale, agnello scottadito... and for dinner a superb Pizza, I love it

Very friendly and helpful. The food is also fantastic, I will strongly recommend the steak which is perfectly grilled and nice 👍🏻

Great place for lunch, the ravioli was good, the pasta with Tartuffe excellent

A true local eatery. Would recommend for anyone passing remotely close. Definitely worth a stop if you a looking for great pasta, great meat (great selection) and mixing with locals in a simple humble, setting all for a reasonable price. Parking available on site.

Ristorante Il Focolare is a fantastic place to enjoy a hearty meal. The steaks were perfectly cooked – juicy, flavorful, and tender. To top it off, their sweet pastries were a real treat! The cozy setting and friendly service made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food in a welcoming environment.

In a word: Excellent! We stopped at this restaurant on the road on our way to Marino for just an unpretentious dinner and were pleasantly surprised by one of the best roast beef dishes we've ever had, with delicious cacio e pepe pasta and beautifully served! We highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area; it's definitely worth stopping in and trying. My husband and I ordered a steak and a pasta dish, which we shared, and it was plenty.

The restaurant was fabulous. The portions were generous, but I made the mistake of asking to take home my leftovers. "No," he said, "this is Italy!" Oops. The steak was cooked to perfection on the wood burning stove you see in the photo. We had rosemary steak, and it was beyond delicious. Never tried that combo before, but will again at home.

Amazing food. Right off the highway. 10/10

Best truffle bruschetta ever!!! Enjoy!!!

home cooking, large and well-stocked room

We are regulars here because the owner Ricardo is so warmly welcoming and the food is so good. A modern take on traditional dishes and always a menu of the day to keep things interesting. Fried veggies and seafood with a soy dipping sauce as an antipasto, or warm shrimp salad with salsa rosa ( like Thousand Island Dressing) is unusual and delicious. Excellent pastas like the one with porcini and galletti mushrooms I had last week. Cous Cous panzanella is a twist on an Italian standard, and his sou vide cold roast beef with basil mayo is another. Both delicious. Moderate prices makes this the whole package. Worth a detour.

Overall this is a great place! The service is great, location lovely, great atmosphere. The food was good, but felt like it could be much better. We ordered a beef tartar with egg yolk and truffles as a starter. This dish has great potential for those who love tartar, but unfortunately the seasoning was just off. Would not recommend that dish for tartar livers because it's just disappointing. The salad with the fried cheese was nice. We ordered two pastas next,that were pretty good (especially the truffle one), however both were very salty. The terramisu was wonderful!! To sum up, it's a nice place no doubt, but the food can be better :)

a jazz themed eatery. Photos of jazz musicians line the wall and jazz music plays. The amuse-bouche was aspic of zucchini and tomato. Our appetizer was especially beautiful and it tasted good, too. The white is buffalo mozzarella. The seafood tagliatelle was also tasty. The restaurant serves the dishes halved into two plates if you are sharing which is nice. Our next course, cod served with potatoes, wasn't so great. For dessert we had tiaramisu which was delicious. The service was impeccable. For environmental reasons we try to avoid bottled water and so asked for tap water. They provided a small carafe for which they charged. The first time in our lives that we were charged for tap water. The 2€ charge was actually more than the €1.50 cost of a large bottle of sparkling water we had in a different restaurant the next day.

Excellent food. Some vegetarian options. Great service. Great location - slightly away from the touristy crowds.

We had a fantastic dinner here, Dad claims this was one of the best pork chops he's ever had, and we enjoyed the rabbit and boar stew too. The lavender crema catalana was especially amazing. We had a very enjoyable evening here with great food and great service.

Delicious pasta and great service. We got a little free bite before our meal (an amouche bouche). We told them we’d share a plate and they surprised us by dividing up the pasta into 2 plates. Generous portions.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch here! Service was really superb, we always had everything we needed and the food was also delicious!

Very delicious food, perfect for people who like truffle. I had no problems with this restaurant. The price is perfect, I ate a lot with my father and we only paid 90€. The service is good too.

An excellent restaurant located in the medieval part of Orvieto. Immersed in old cellars and rock chambers of the southern slope. The impression at the entrance is electrifying and it only gets better from there. The menu includes extraordinary compositions based on simple, local specialties, but combined in a surprising way. That's why I decided to have pasta with fennel sauce and black cabbage chips. I have to admit that it was the best vegetarian restaurant dish I've ever eaten. On the menu it looked almost banal, but in taste it turned out to be refined and original. In addition, I ordered top quality beef slices with grilled vegetables which I also highly recommend. A beautiful, authentic experience.

My lovely and I enjoyed lunch here with family and friends in 2005 and had a wonderful experience. It was with some trepidation that we returned one score later as we had no desire to diminish the memory. It brings me great joy to report dear reader that Le Grotte del Funaro has lost none of its magic. We had emailed in advance to reserve a table and were delighted to be seated by the window. A view of the rolling Umbrian hills is a glorious adjunct to proceedings. We started with the delightfully fresh panzanella before moving on to the sea bass and the suckling pig with roast potatoes. Both of these were a testament to the ease with which Italian hill top towns producing amazing dish after amazing dish. Washed down with a local bottle of Orvieto rossi this was another meal to remember. We will be back in 2045!

Loved it ! Totally a must do when in Orvieto Located within a underground cave in italy this was the place to visit for our one night stay in Orvieto Before you arrive and enter the restaurant the location is high and you look over the valley which is just amazing view We arrived in sunset and this was extra special - the best time for a photo The staff very kind - we booked and then changed our time due to getting drinks earlier but they were happy to accommodate us which was kind Food was excellent - wine great and bring within a cave very unique Orvieto is a small city perched on a rock cliff in Umbria, Italy. Duomo di Orvieto, dating from 1290, has a mosaic facade and houses a marble Pietà sculpture. The Pozzo di San Patrizio is a 16th-century - Orvieto has many hidden caves but this is the only one with a restaurant within side a cave Very unique - great food and unforgettable night

It is ok, but not a place to come back. The reason we stopped for dinner here is you can watch the sunset from the wall a hundred feet away. The food (especially the spigola) is over salted, probably to mark the deficiencies of preparation, the pasta is so do, and the sauce (cinghiale) is over-salted too. People at the next table were quite happy, though. So it might be just a personal preference.

Another fortunate discovery for us in Orvieto. And very near to our hotel. We had gone to the same restaurant for three of our first four nights and last night decided to try something new. And are we glad we did! The restaurant has an enormous underground grotto where most people eat but we sat on the lovely patio, with a view of the countryside. From our first bite to our last, we were beyond thrilled to have discovered this place. For antipasti we had Panzanella and the Zucchini tartare. Both refreshing and flavourful ( everything tastes better in Italy!) then our pastas were nothing short of spectacular. Maltagliati with artichokes and Tagliatelle with lemon, lime, ginger and pink peppercorns. Again, beautifully served and delicious. We had an apple crumble and a coffee bavarois. A fitting finish to an incredible meal. And our server was lovely and very helpful. We loved it so much that we made reservations for dinner there again tonight!

Amazing opportunity to eat in a place inhabited for 2500 years. Wow! Other restaurants in Orvieto serve slightly better food and this is mainly a tourist attraction, but service is better than in most Italian restaurants where waiters tend to leave you alone for a little too long. The ambiance of eating in an ancient cave is hard to beat.

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst meals we’ve had in Italy. The staff and setting are nice, but the food was not at all good. Salads with no dressing or seasoning, pasta with no sauce, the cod tasted like a refrigerator and the cannelloni was so hot for the entire meal, which probably meant it was cooked in a microwave. Skip this place!

Exceptional dinner on a drizzly Sunday night in Orvieto. The handwritten sign caught out eye with delicious words like "snail... rabbit... pigeon." We knew we had to find here. Upon entering the austere dining room, is a warm & friendly smile from, we assume, is the owner acting host, who seated us promptly without reservation. We were served warm bread, fresh olive oil, house wine which was a freshly corked bottle of Vino Rosso 100% Sangiovese - bold & dry. We ordered the snails Orvieto-style which was served in a tomato sauce full of fennel - I don't typically care for the overwhelming flavor of fennel but in this instance the unique flavors were welcomed and as the snails were perfectly cooked, it all paired well with the bread (although I did add a lunch of salt). Next, the Primi... Minestrone cuppa & Carbanara con guancale. The soup was literally the most delicious, hearty, flavorful, chunky, unctuous soup which was only enhanced with a drizzle of olive oil. It especially hit the spot on this drizzly evening. The carbanara was silky, glistening and rich with all the flavors of fatty but crispy guancale and grated pecorino. I'll be surpassed to find one better. Lastly, the Secondi... rabbit and pigeon. I've never tried either and absolutely loved both! I picked the bones clean on both portions. Our waist said I had "good fork" which I felt was highest compliments. This is a must try while you're in Orvieto or worth a special trip.

We loved this place. Peter is the best, he is kind and patient and provides exceptional service. The food was great on each occasion. Hope to return again someday.

The best meal we had on our entire Italian adventure. And it was an accidental discovery. The gnocchi was potato perfection, they melted away on your tongue. And the wild boar, simple but awesome. Halfway through our meal we switched plates so we both could enjoy these great dishes.

The food and the atmosphere were very good. And the service too untill we realised we had been literally cheated. The story is as follows. They put a plate of ordinary bread and industrial plastic-packaged gricini on the table, which we didn't ask for, nor did they ask whether we'd want it. That bread made it's way to the bill as euro 12!!! (3 per person). So, it was not a price for the unordered bread - it was a service charge. But when I was footing the bill I explicitly asked whether tips were included in the bill. And the lady said "no". An so I left 10 euro in tips. All in all, i was conned into leaving a total of 22 euro of tips on 150 euro bill for what I truly ordered. I believe it's a lie when you charge for smth that noone's ordered and then say that tips are not included. Otherwise the place is worth visiting.

I visited here 3 times on my short visit and always tried new dishes. This place is unpretentious and authentic. I'd highly recommend the wild boar tagliatelle and the goose pasta dish.

We were told by two different individuals to go to this restaurant, so we did. We had a great dinner. I took a local special, pigeon. The thought of eating pigeon was weird, but after trying it for the first time, I would definitely recommend it. Our waiter was very helpful in helping us with selecting a red wine and adding a local drink called L'Orvietan.

We had a nice dinner after a long day exploring. Venue It was nice and cosy with a big teddy bear greeting us. 😃 Food The food are good, felt like a home cooked meal. Service Service was warm and friendly which is always appreciated so thank you for your hospitality.

What a great find in Orvieto! We were just walking around and decided to try this restaurant on a whim. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was warm and attentive. Considering the quality of the food and service, the price was more than fair. We left feeling completely satisfied and would highly recommend it.

Very nice place to have a break while visiting the city. The staff is very friendly and polite. Food is very tasty and fresh!

The best Umbrichelli we have tasted. Firm and slightly chewy . The sauce is rich and tasty . The rest of the food is also good . Service is prompt and friendly .

Wow. An authentic, beautiful family owned and run restaurant. Food was amazing, service was fast and certain, even the €6 house wine was delicious. Magical little restaurant. It’s a must if you’re visiting Orvieto

Very delicious authentic food! Wow… 🫶 must try restaurant with nice chilled atmosphere. I enjoyed a lot!

This is a busy and popular restaurant with really good food and friendly service. Overall out of about 7 or 8 places we tried in Orvieto it achieved the best balance between price and quality. Recommended. Note however they only have one toilet so you can end up queuing

Amazing restaurant- beautiful setting and a terrace with outstanding views. We were given a perfect table. Food is wonderful - on the posher side of the food we've eaten in Italy ie before ordering you're given an amuse-bouche, with twig-like grissini and a test tube of what seemed like flavoured tonic water! Rest of meal was amazing - steak was a standout as well as the Aubergine parmigiana. We were served by Sarah - English was great, went through the entire menu with us and was generally so helpful and friendly and therefore made the experience a very relaxed affair.

Wow. My husband and I are so glad we found this place! Our server, Sara, was so attentive, friendly, and sweet. Our food was absolutely delicious and the plating was beautiful. It’s clear all of the employees are working hard to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. We can’t recommend it enough!

Restaurant up on a hill in an old and interesting building. Very delicious foods, great atmosphere. Especially the desserts, visually very appealing and the tastes are perfectly balanced.

The Osteria is located in the fertile valley of the Valnerina. The area of Umbrian delights. The venue is in a curated palazzo hewn from local rock. Small rooms with incredible views of Arrone and the river Nera - the lifeblood of the valley. The dishes are authentic local and seasonal. The meats, legumes and pastas all delicately prepared in the Umbrian way. My favourite, lamb chops “scottadito” (burn your fingers) because they are grilled over coals. The meals are deliberately not rushed to allow sufficient time to digest ahead of the next course! Slow food! Takes some adjustment when visiting from cities where restaurants force two-sittings on their patrons!

Best parmigiana of my life! Wonderful experience and delicious food.

One of our favourite dining experiences in Umbria !

Make sure to make reservations. Great, intimate setting with delicious food and a spectacular view

perfect restorant, one of my favorit.

Extremely delicious! Interior and service could be better, nevertheless definitely worth trying!

Excellent. Delicious food and good service.

Ordinary.

Good food, efficient service

Went NYE, too slow the service, waited 1.5 hours and still no food … no care for my husbands coeliac requirements. Even given it was New Year’s Eve - very noisy.

The owner, Fabio, is hands down the nicest guy! We came here on our one night in Orvieto, we had the Malasati and Margarhita pizza, so yummy. The wine is also delicious. The rest of the staff is awesome, as well! Definitely a must if you’re in Orvieto!

Highly recommended by our place the villa where we staying. The service was very slow, we had a reservation for a party of 8. Four in our party did not receive their food after 2 hours of waiting. We tried to pay the bill and leave and we were told 5 more minutes for 45 minutes. We never received the food, but paid the bill and the manager refused to address the issue and did not remove the charge for food we did not receive. We observed other guests did receive their food. It was a very disappointing evening and we will not return.

Besides the staff being really kind and the atmosphere being quite relaxed, the food was just exceptionally good and we are definitely looking to visit again. P. S. They have Wi-Fi!

We had a 730 reservation and arrived at 715. We were asked to use the app to order food and the app was not functioning. We placed an order and 2 HOURS later four guest in our party DID NOT HAVE FOOD. THE MANAGER MADE NO EFFORT TO ADJUST THE BILL FOR FOOD WE DID NOT RECEIVE. We had to leave when our transportation arrived. We did note other patrons who arrived after our party,were served. I WOULD AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST.

Fit us in for Easter Monday long lunch on what must have been the busiest day of the year (3 other recommended restaurants turned us away) - this was our last hope! Away from the crowds, very professional staff but friendly and tolerant of our pig Italian. Big serves of antipasto, delicate pasta course, chunks of veal for main and lovely white mousse dessert accompanied by far too many big thick fragments of chocolate Easter egg. Mineral water, local wine, coffee, great ambience with tables populated by families with youngsters, millennials with Nana, yuppies (is that still a thing?), old timers; all made this a meal to remember. And, apart from wine, fixed price €35. A splurge, but if you're going to splurge, this is the best value way to do it.

Excellent food and wine. Service is kind and quick. Very pleasant to enjoy and hope come back again.

Excellent local traditional food plus excellent pizzas. Quality is extremely high. Service is run by young people, always kind & efficient. Really like home made food,not difficult to be digested nor too salty. Excellent mineral water from the famous Tullia source. Reservation absolutely mandatory, despites the huge number of seats. Location is very convenient,right out of the historical centre of Narni. Ambience is extremely basic, in the basement of an ugly modern building typical of Italian reconstruction time after WWII. But this place is absolutely worth a visit.

we visited this restaurant last night and had an AMAZING experience, the hospitality is on another level and the young staff were incredibly kind and professional, the food was very very good. price was super honest, no wonder its the Top recommendation in the erea, we highly highly recommend it.

"Pizza is like the entire food pyramid!" Madeline Oles

Really nice pub style restaurant with really good pizza and a vast selection of beers, but the food and drinks took a really really long time to arrive and there was no a lot of choice for vegetarians.

beautiful place, lovely staff and amazing food. definitely gonna come back there

Very good PIZZA, boss is best and service people are very nice and helpful. Food is top class

Very good food and super friendly staff. I strongly recommend

This restaurant in the city definitely serves tasty food. The atmosphere is great, and the outdoor seating is very enjoyable. However, they made a big mistake on our bill and overcharged us by more than €40, which we didn’t notice until we got home. Everything is done manually, so be sure to double-check your receipt before paying.

Disappointing Service and a Meal That Didn’t Sit Well The biggest issue at Trattoria da Carlo was the approach to guests. The welcome wasn’t warm — it felt rather arrogant. We asked to sit in the coolest, most shaded area, but were refused because the table was set for three and we were only two. Only when we were ready to leave did they finally let us take it. Tables for two are also quite cramped — there’s no space for a handbag, hat, or personal belongings. We also saw a family of four arrive, and the mother, who was casually chewing on a half-finished apple, was immediately and strictly told that even finishing it while waiting for their meal was not allowed. The tone felt unnecessarily harsh. To top it off, the food didn’t sit well with me — my stomach reacted with higher acidity, which is very unusual. When service is without love, there’s a very big possibility your stomach will respond the same way.

Just finished a wonderful meal. We did not have a reservation but they found a way to fit us in. The pasta was incredible. Orvieto red table wine - also so good. Fresh tomatoes in olive oil. And the service, overall, Ay, chihuahua! We will remember this meal for a lifetime. Overall outstanding. Thank you so much.

We’ve been here a couple of times and each time we feel more welcome. The food is definetely the best in the region. If you can try the lasagne or the gnocchi it’s delicious. His wife also has a winery which is great and known for the white wines. Carlo is also great with children. We will surely be coming back.

I was in Orvieto with a friend and we asked the locals where was the best Resturant in Orvieto was, and they hands down recommended Da Carlo. The wine was great (made by his wife’s winery), the food was amazing, and most of all the service was perfect. Carlo was the life of the night - entertaining everyone, giving excellent food recommendations, and ensuring that fun and great service was had by all! I highly recommend this restaurant and I look forward to coming back soon!

In a wonderful spot, a viccolo just off Corso Cavour, it feels tranquil. When weather is good the outdoor seating is lovely. Out table had a starter of croatini with fava, a very light eggplant parmesan and then baccala with ceci cream, umbricelli arrabiata, ciccoria ripassata. Everyone was happy and even better is the owner...very friendly and warm. Definitely recommend to try this restaurant. Also try the wines from Argillae ( the windwryyis owned by the chefs wife's family). Nice selections.

Week 4 in Italy vacation— and we finally found an amazing restaurant experience. Creative food, good wine, great summer atmosphere. Perfect service. And an owner who cares about each diner. Coming back here!!

Authentic local cuisine with a good selection of local wines. Popular with local residents (i.e. not a tourist trap). The staff were friendly, some spoke English and gave good recommendations for the wine. It was family friendly and the outdoor seating had a great view of the Umbrian hills

This was the best meal I had in my holiday in Italy. The tortelli carbonara with artichoke and guanciale was out of this world. Service is very friendly and the interior is charming.

Vanya, our server, was spectacular - it’s a gorgeous building from 1280 and has a wood burning stove they use to cook the meat and other items. It was so good, we both had Piacchiarelli Con Ragù Bianco and it was fantastic….This town is so magical, it’s hard to describe - And reasonably priced. Really incredible - So incredible I would move here in a second if I could. A magical place for sure

Umbrian food, sometimes with a twist. A very pleasant setting in the historical centre of San Gemini with indoor and outdoor seating. The meals our party of 5 had were exceptional: and we couldn’t fault them, with such generous serves that desert was out of the question on this occasion

Nice and quiet place. Nice atmosphere and very good food. For a non Italian person was a nice and tasty experience . The menu is in Italian only but with a translate app is ok and clear. Recommended this place

Nice tavern in one if the many squares in the village. We had local cheeses and charcuterie. We enjoyed it . The white wine is ok. Service too. The village is definitely worth visiting.

Perfect surprise for experienced travellers who love gourmet food and authentic athmosphere 🤩

was recommended this restaurant when asking for places nearby our hotel to eat which was a short 5 minute drive. Service was good, nice ambience, food was not bad although a little pricey. We got tagliatelle ragu, the tomato pasta, lamb and beef

We are staying in the hill town of Orvieto and wanted a place for dinner that was close by. It’s only a 5 minute drive from our parking spot and I’m glad we drove. It’s not what I’d call “walkable”. It was well worth the short drive! The food was amazing and the service was warm and inviting. We did make reservations (and so did half of the other people eating). They were quick to respond on WhatsApp. The food was wonderful! I had the Umbrichelli pasta with white ragu sauce. It was delicious. My wife had the Tagliatella with black truffle and it was the best we’ve had so far. Dessert was a chocolate mouse with salted caramel and peanut crumble 🤤🤤🤤 Their house wine was also very good and at €15 for a bottle, well worth it. They speak English but we had no issues using our broken Italian. Our server was also kind and helped us with pronunciations 🙂 The view is wonderful. We are inside as the patio wasn’t open just yet but I imagine is a popular place in good weather.

We come here regularly for date night and for their events with friends. We love the food, atmosphere, and family feeling. Per sempre, grazie!!

Charming, welcoming staff. Pastas were delicious. Mains missed the mark slightly for us. Well worth a visit!

Very good food! The best chicken I had in my life!

Good restaurant but not the exceptional one we were expecting!!

We stopped here on our ATC Italy motorcycle ride. The team were very friendly and helpful, rooms were comfortable and the food, though simple was excellent based as it was on very good local ingredients. Well worth a visit. Check in is at 6pm earliest as this is a family business and they have land and animals to manage.

What a great find, truly above everything else. Traditional but creative, authentic, with vegetarian and gluten free options in good number, locally sourced everything: meat, cheese, wine, produce. The owners, 3 generations, are the ones serving. They also sell the cheese and many others things. Everything is authentically good, local, and done with care, passion for simplicity and true flavors. This place is not just wonderful for Narni, it is one of the best low key but extremely great places i have ever been to.

Well located in the heart of Narni, very good local food, pretty nice staff. Good selection of wines. Average prices. Recommended.

Good food, good wine, nice hosts.

Lovely little restaurant/deli shop, so much nicer than it looks from the outside. Only very few tables, we were lucky but better to book! Absolutely recommended, food is great and the service spotless. A great selection of local wines.

Perfect place. Very good food. We've been there several times and it's always delicious. Great shop with wines and local delicacies.

Amazing homemade food!! We came as a large group, and had the stuffed focaccia, the white lasagne, the panini sandwiches and they were all delicious. The locals come here so you know it must be good!

Small shop in the nice town but very nice. Just few steps from the shop, you can see beautiful view. Foods were very good. You can buy some good items to prepare your meal. Friendly owner. Highly recommend

We really enjoyed the food there, especially with most items that are gluten-free. The menu is not big but the food is really good. I specifically enjoyed the triples. It was cooked really well. The waitress was really patient in explaining the menu and making sure we knew what would be getting. I really wanted to give it five stars but the service was so slow. We would love to try all the gluten-free deserts but could not bear the possibility of waiting for one hour for the deserts to come. We even walked up to pay to save time. It is a shame as the restaurant was not even busy!

Great local food good gluten free options. I recommend this restaurant. Staff friendly and helpful

Great place with homemade GF pasta and bread. Traditional Umbrian dishes. Everything delicious. The house wine was really good, too. Run by a small team of women. Thank you for taking such good care of us! We saw multiple people rush in and say “we only have 20 minutes.” In that case, better to grab a kebab down the road. You’re in a Città Slow, so set aside a couple of hours for lunch, especially when ordering multiple courses. Reservations are recommended.

Best gluten free meal in Italy so far ! The highlights were the coniglio a porchetta (rabbit with potatoes) and ombricelli alla norcina! For dessert we had the quiche which was fresh and yummy.

Cute spot for a leisurely lunch with indoor and outdoor seating. The pastas are all simple but delicious. The pork in plum sauce, however, is worth going for alone. Bursting with flavor and cooked fresh!

We came in Autumn and they offered plate of the day - chestnuts and porcini mushrooms soup. It was Autumn on a plate - Divine!

I went here for lunch and then back again for dinner with a group of 9. Everything was so good and the owner chef Cecelia was very personable. They were happy to interpret the specials. And they were fantastic, wonderful artichoke preparation, composed pear and pecorino salad. The goat cheese antipasto and rabbit and potato secondi were exceptionally good.

Great garden restaurant away from the teeming crowd. Lamb chops were delicious. Olive oil sample was a treat. House wine was tasty and inexpensive. Overall a very nice place to enjoy.

Had the wild boar pappardelle and tiramisu. One of my favorite meals ever. The service was flawless, the servers excellent and friendly, and the outdoor seating was magical. Had the place practically to ourselves on a Monday night in early September. We made a reservation, although it likely wasn’t necessary on this particular night.

I visited early September 2024. Beautiful early September evening for having dinner al fresco! The atmosphere on the patio was relaxing, the service was friendly and the food was delicious!

Nice restaurant with good service and very tasty food. We had 3 glasses of the house wine, the mixed Italian starter, 2 pasta dishes, a Tiramisu and a bottle of water for 60€. The service was very fast and friendly. The quality and taste of the food was very good. The atmosphere is a little bit rustic, but at the same time elegant and even when the room got full around 8pm, it was never loud nor hectic. Thanks for the nice dinner 👍🍷

Here they know how to deal with groups and the 26 of us were divided up onto 3 tables. The service was excellent and friendly. We started with an antipasto misto followed by tagliatelli with mushrooms and a stew of wild boar. The food was really good.

Very good experience - we found a table for 4 without reservation. The staff was very friendly and the food really good; the restaurant is placed in a small piazzale near Torre del Moro and has been in the same family since 1948. We had the rigatoni carbonara, tagliatelle ai funghi porcini and the parmigiana di melanzane - all delicious, very well prepared and served on time. And for dessert a tartufo nero - that was excellent!!

We didn't make dinner reservations for this evening but had a few restaurants picked out. We picked Antico Bucchero from our list and it was wonderful. My only photos included our group so I'm not posting them. They were very accommodating to our large group (7).

I was really looking forward to lunch here and was so disappointed. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere. It started out ok, but we did notice while sitting there that the lady serving seemed very stressed and other tables waited a long time for most things. It completely fell apart when I waited about 10 minutes after my partners arrived for my main course. It was obvious when we pointed this out that they had forgotten it. Then it was luke warm and the side order of garden green beans also arrived and they were from frozen beans. Obviously we like to eat together not separately . They were gracious to not charge for my main or the beans but this still doesn't really make up for this awful experience. Honestly can't recommend this place.

Food was lovely. The surroundings were very romantic and rustic. The service was lovely. Especially from the owner. He was charming, friendly and the epitome of Italian hospitality! Thank you so much for your kindness!

Best homemade pasta I've ever had. The carbonara was excellent 👌 Had to come back once more before leaving town and it was just as good the second time!

We were served cold carbonara. Waiter was friendly but slow. Very nice atmosphere. Was really looking forward to my first authentic experience, but left disappointed.

Wonderful find. My Velutata was so delicious 😻🫸🫷

We had a very pleasant experience eating here. We came for lunch, the food service and atmosphere were all wonderful.

The Fettuccine coupled with a local red wine was excellent. The host made sure that I was happy with the meal and even showed me the hidden Roman tunnel that ran under the town. The lemon sorbet that followed was the best digestive.

My family had a wonderful experience here. Food was wonderful, service was fantastic and the atmosphere was just perfect. Very traditional food, great tasting and lots of it. The owner and staff are just beautiful human beings and treated us like family. Would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a non tourist experience. Please take some time to search this restaurant out, you won’t regret it. We will be back for dinner very soon

Fantastic dinner, focus on freshly homemade and unique food of Orvieto. I have eaten there a few times and always delicious. The truffle dishes are fantastic, and if want a truly Orvieto dish, try the pigeon! Andrea and Claudio are the perfect hosts, very friendly and helpful in recommending both food and drinks. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, make sure you look inside as the original arches and floors, plus cellar from the Middle Ages! Close to the Duomo Orvieto.

We had a wonderful, friendly, and entertaining waiter named Andrea. He recommended the their special minestrone soup, and we loved it. If ever in Orvieto (a hidden gem in Italy) this restaurant is a must!

Wow!! Probably my favorite meal during my entire 2-week trip to Italy and Austria. The main guy was incredibly nice and ready to please - I have a lot of dietary restrictions (no dairy or gluten) and he allowed me to create a custom pasta dish, with the ingredients I wanted. The chef also made a noodle free minestrone soup that was delicious!!! Service and food quality top notch!!

I traveled to Italy from late April to early May. On the day before returning to the United States, my wife and I went to Orvieto, a town not far from Rome. The place was full of medieval charm, and I thought to myself that it was the perfect spot to beautifully conclude our trip to Italy. We took the funicular up into the town, visited the famous cathedral and museums, and wandered through the alleys while catching glimpses of the traces of the Etruscan civilization. Around lunchtime, we began looking for a restaurant. After weaving through the maze-like streets, not knowing exactly where we were, we finally spotted some restaurants, and one of them particularly caught our eye. We decided to go in. Inside, it was fairly quiet, but all the outdoor tables were full. The waiters were busy serving the guests outside, and with such perfect weather that day, it was no surprise. As I lingered a bit near the entrance, a waiter quickly approached me and asked, “Vuole mangiare fuori o dentro?” (“Would you like to eat outside or inside?”). Since the outdoor seating was nearly full and one of our group had pollen allergies, we chose to sit inside. The name of the restaurant was Tipica Trattoria Etrusca, which definitely carried the feeling of Etruria. A typical Italian waiter brought us menus and spoke enthusiastically, but since I had already read beforehand that Orvieto was famous for the Slow Food movement and its locally made pasta, I ordered accordingly. We had beef steak, tagliatelle with wild boar ragù, a unique local pasta called umbricelli, and of course, Orvieto wine. They offered Orvieto as a house wine, so we ordered a full liter. Orvieto is renowned for its white wine. In fact, I had known about the town primarily because of its wine, long before visiting. I had studied this very region back when I was attending wine school years ago. Sitting there with a glass of Orvieto wine in hand, I felt a deep sense of gratitude and wonder—“So this is where I finally get to drink it.” The taste of the local wine was unlike any white wine I had ever tried. There was a honey-like aroma, and although it was a very dry wine, it carried a subtle sweetness along with refreshing acidity. It was like someone who had only ever eaten spicy bibim-naengmyeon suddenly discovering the true flavor of mul-naengmyeon. The wild boar ragù was so delicious that I couldn’t help myself and asked, “Mi può portare un po’ di pane per fare scarpetta, per favore?” (“Could you please bring me some bread so I can do scarpetta?”). At this, the waiters gave me a thumbs-up in approval. But this time, the owner himself came over. “Do you know how to do scarpetta properly?” Instead of answering, I simply used the bread to wipe my plate clean and enjoyed every last bit. The owner, however, didn’t quite look Italian to me. “E lei italiano?” (“Are you Italian?”) I asked. “No, sono egiziano.” (“I am Egyptian.”) Ah, that explained it. I decided to change my greeting. “Salam aleikum” (“Peace be upon you,” the Arabic greeting). His eyes widened, and he immediately replied, “Aleikum salam! Are you Muslim?” I noticed his English was excellent, which of course made sense—running a restaurant like this would require speaking multiple languages. “No,” I replied, “I am Catholic, but I respect my Muslim brothers.” At that, this cheerful, over-the-top owner called over the waiter who had been serving us and insisted that we take a photo together. We laughed, took pictures, and most importantly, enjoyed one of the best meals of our trip. I couldn’t help but say, “Now this is truly authentic Italian food.” A proper meal doesn’t just double the joy of traveling—it also deepens the memory of it. I would love to return to Orvieto one day to enjoy this food again. And I sincerely thank the restaurant staff who made our visit such a delightful experience.

Amazing fresh pasta, you cannot go wrong with their pasta dish. We also had the rabbit and lamb. Andre is the best, he even offered us to tour their cave wine cellar!

We travel to Italy more times a year, and like to visit different regions and try the local dishes. We were looking for this experience in Orvieto too. This restaurant was perfect - it was quiet at lunchtime, we were very happy with the meal, the wine selection and our waiter, Andrea. Also our dogs were welcome and got fresh water (and refills...). Thank you for the superb service, we highly recommend this restaurant!

Amazing place, perfect for a relaxing lunch/dinner. Fish as good as the one you can find in Sicily (where the owners come from) which is quite surprising given that Umbria has no access to the sea! If you are around to visit the hills of Umbria or simply after a nice stroll around the Marmore falls, this is the place to be. I would recommend the ‘antipasto misto’ which is made of 5 cold and 5 hot started. Bravi!

Lovely place to eat. Extremly nice and rich portion of meat. Chocolate cake missing a bit of a sugar but I guess that's just me and my sugar addiction xD Lovely and nice staff! Notthing else to add.

If you are looking for a fish restaurant in Umbria because you are tired of lentils, charcuterie and meat, keep looking? Thia place States on their website that all their fish is fresh. Then you look at the menu and you notice they have an asterisk next to almost each item stating it could of been previously frozen, doesn't sound very fresh to me and didn't taste like it either. The place always has a decent crowd but it's mostly locals who have no other choice. I would avoid at all costs as the quality is just not there and there are plenty of other options around the area highlighting the food of Umbria. After all, isn't that one of the reasons for coming to Umbria in the first place?

Good food and nice place. It was a bit crowded, though, consequently the service a bit slow (perhaps understaffed)

If you love fish, you'll love the food here, we'll definitely be back for more

Super top

Pretty good seafood

Great 👍

This summer, during our stop in Terni, we discovered this extraordinary restaurant. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were greeted with professionalism and kindness. The meal was absolutely exceptional. Complimentary appetizers, homemade bread. Starters, main courses, and desserts were worthy of a Michelin star. With each course, the waitress explained all the ingredients in detail. This restaurant is highly recommended and really not expensive. When you're in Terni, don't forget to go there. For us, this restaurant will remain in our memories. Nicole and Feriel from Luxembourg August 2025

We had an amazing dinner at Crunch. Highly recommend the Zucchini rice dish. Our waitress was especially wonderful as she translated and explained all the dishes on the menu for us. The portions were also a great size.

The best pasta lunch we have had in Italy. Simple, but full of flavour. 2 courses and a coffee with cake for 10 Euro

A great find. Got here a little by accident, surprised and very impressed by Crunch's seafood & wine menu. Wonderfull lunch for a hot Summer day. Thank you for service, recommendations and translations.

. Exellent sea food. We loved it. The menu is in italian, so the staff helped us. The fish was fresh and every thing taseted like even. Thank you.

Great food with real flair. Lovely staff and super value.

Best and original menu we have tried during our holidays. Their courtesy and hosting is a great value! Do not forget to try the ramen with truffles and trout, and the uncommon bruschetta, or you may regret it!!!! Ask the staff for the more suitable beer and wine for your menu, there the experience gets stunning. Thanks Umani!

(Translated by Google) I had a fantastic experience at Umani. The food was excellent, but the tartare was truly the dish that impressed me the most. As a traveller, I can confirm that the quality was exceptional: simply spectacular, one of the best I have ever tasted. To conclude, I chose a trio of tiramisu, and I must say that the peanut one was phenomenal, so much so that that alone would have been enough! Congratulations to the whole team for the excellent cuisine and hospitality (Original) Ho avuto un'esperienza fantastica da Umani. Il cibo è stato eccellente, ma la tartare è stata davvero il piatto che mi ha colpito di più. Da viaggiatore, posso confermare che la qualità era eccezionale: semplicemente spettacolare, una delle migliori che abbia mai assaggiato. Per concludere, ho scelto un tris di tiramisù, e devo dire che quello alle arachidi era fenomenale, tanto che sarebbe bastato solo quello! Complimenti a tutto il team per l'ottima cucina e l'accoglienza

(Translated by Google) A total experience!! I recommend trusting the chef and ordering the tasting menu! It's creative, original, and respectful of the ingredients. The wines are particularly well chosen to complement the dishes. Bravo!! I'm already dreaming of returning to Terni, if only to eat there again! The service is attentive, and you feel like part of the family! (Original) Une expérience totale!! Je recommande de faire confiance au chef et de prendre le menu dégustation! C'est créatif, original et tout en respect des produits. Les vins sont particulièrement bien choisir pour accompagner les plats. Bravo!! Je rêve déjà de revenir à Terni ne serait-ce que pour y manger à nouveau! Le service est attentionné et on s'y sent en famille!

(Translated by Google) I started with a fresh and colorful appetizer, featuring a special sweet and sour mix: truly excellent and beautifully presented, it was accompanied by a selection of breads of various types and qualities. The glass of Merlot was also excellent, a perfect pairing. The tagliata was one of the best surprises: perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful, a sign of great attention to detail. The staff were extremely friendly and never intrusive, making it a perfect evening. (Original) Ho iniziato con un antipasto fresco e colorato, dal mix agrodolce speciale: veramente ottimo e ben presentato, accompagnato da una selezione di pani di diversi tipi e qualità. Ottimo anche il calice di Merlot, perfetto in abbinamento. La tagliata è stata una delle sorprese migliori: cotta alla perfezione, succosa e saporita, segno di grande attenzione nella preparazione. Personale simpaticissimo e mai invadente, una serata perfetta.

(Translated by Google) I was at a "ceremonial" lunch. Everything went well and the dishes were really good in their particularity - at least, for some people the courgette flower with ricotta, the citrus gnocchi and the meat in a crust could be defined as "particular"!- (Original) Ero a un pranzo "di cerimonia". Tutto è andato bene e i piatti erano veramente buoni nella loro particolarità -almeno, per alcune persone si potrebbero definire "particolari" il fiore di zucca con ricotta, gli gnocchi agli agrumi e la carne in crosta!-

(Translated by Google) We decided to celebrate the anniversary here by doing the "euphony" tasting route. What can I say... everything perfect, excellent food, multiple flavors that went together perfectly. They are very kind and accompany the experience with the explanation of each dish. Plus excellent value for money. Therefore highly recommended, go! (Original) Abbiamo deciso di festeggiare qui l'anniversario, facendo il percorso di degustazione "eufonia". Che dire.. tutto perfetto, cibo ottimo, più sapori che si sposavano alla perfezione. Loro sono gentilissimi e accompagnano l'esperienza con la spiegazione di ogni piatto. In più rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo Perciò consigliatissimo, andate!

(Translated by Google) We tried several dishes, and I must say we were satisfied with all of them. Especially the tagliatelle with hare ragù and white chocolate, and the gnocchi with beetroot, honey, lavender, and Taleggio cheese. The pork ribs were incredibly tender, but in my opinion, they should have used a little less BBQ sauce (it overpowers the flavor too much). (Original) Abbiamo assaggiato diversi piatti e devo dire ci hanno soddisfatto tutti. In particolar modo le tagliatelle con ragù di lepre e cioccolato bianco, gli gnocchi con rapa rossa, miele, lavanda e taleggio. Costine di maiale tenerissime, però a mio avviso andrebbe messa un pochino meno salsa bbq (sovrasta troppo il sapore).

What a lovely place to visit! Fresh, homemade pasta that is superb, especially the gnocchi. Bursting with flavor! A real family run feel to it, with the mum/wife proudly accepting my deserved praise for her cooking skills. We had the carbonara which was exceptional, the tomato and chilli gnocchi, fresh truffle bruschetta and a meat and cheese board. Highly recommend.

We recently stopped on our way to Rome because we were starving and best decision ever, Alessandro the owner of this beautiful jewel is the kindest person ever with his beautiful smile, he makes you feel as if you are eating with friends at home, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is very relaxed and beautiful, the town is the most picturesque. What else can you ask for kind people, delicious food and amazing views! So happy we stopped here on our way to Rome 🫶🏻 Greetings from Texas !

The food here is WOW, INSANE, INCREDIBLE. You are lucky if you get to visit here. Such unique flavours with local ingredients. Highly recommend the caponata, boar stew, and beef tartare 👌👌 very friendly and efficient service too

I wish I could give this place 100 stars. It is AMAZING. We haven’t even left the restaurant yet (we’re still lingering over wine and coffee), but I had to write a review immediately. Everything about this restaurant is perfect. We had: carbonara, cacio e pepe, ribeye steak, grandma’s meatballs, cabbage stew, chocolate cake, tiramisu, and coffee (in Moka) with biscotti. It is so rare to have an experience that is this perfect. If you are in Narni, you must visit!

Such a nice evening! Thank you for the hospitality, the delicious food and great company. It was a beautiful experience that we will remember.

Absolutely fantastic, cute and fun atmosphere too, and in Narni - which is always pretty. Incredible gnocchi, everything is fresh and home made. The basics, like gnocchi alla gricia and spaghetti carbonara are just incredible. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Their truffle sauce on the mozzarella di buffala and faraona was great too.

Lovely place to have some homemade food with fresh ingredients. Wonderful host (speaks English very well, explained the whole menu), delicious pasta and beautiful setting. A must go.

Not sure why the name, Carpe Diem? The establishment is a far way from seizing the day! The interior is dreary and tired and in desperate need of a deep clean. The menu has some local offal delicacies for the brave explorers. The environment did not instill the trust I needed to be adventurous. However, the Jamon Seranno served with bruschetta and tartufo was a great combination. The two cirioli dishes were disappointing for an area that prides itself on this type of pasta. Sadly not a franciacorta in sight!

We had a really disappointing experience at this restaurant. We ordered food and drinks, and while the drinks came fairly quickly, about 20 minutes later a waiter came back to tell us that 3 out of the 5 dishes we ordered weren’t available. The menu is already very small, so it’s hard to understand why they couldn’t inform us right away. By that time, we had already started drinking, so we had to pay for the drinks and leave to find another place to eat. The dishes on the menu were also quite confusing — nothing really classic or clear, just strange combinations that didn’t sound very appealing. Would definitely not recommend this place.

Food absolutely excellent, service VERY slow due to lack of personal. Paying somewhat complicated (and slow).

The food and service were amazing!

Food is not exceptional and pricey for Italy

Food is good but the service is a bit chaotic

Amazing food, and atmosphere, the staff bend over backwards to help with your choices menu explanation. They have 2 separate kitchens to accommodate safe supply of gluten free food, the menu is fantastic.

We had a great lunch here, perfect location and lots of gluten free options. We had the menu, which was also available GF that included bruscetta, pasta, and a meat dish (forgot to take a picture of the sausages we had, they were also delicious). We were certainly full after that! Mum ordered the lamb cutlets with some veggies which she enjoyed.

My girlfriend is allergic to soy, gluten and everything you can imagine. Still, they managed to provide us with a great dinner. It was simply delicious. And it was so great that they paid attention to her and answered all questions. It felt great to be able to eat in such a safe environment and felt like she was a non-allergic person. Those people who are not allergic this much, it is an unknown thing how difficult it is to eat anywhere. So many thanks to you! :)

We had a delicious lunch here. The tagliatelle with wild boar and the tagliatelle with pesto and pistachio was delicious. The server was very good and gave us an after lunch drink followed by a visit to see their cave.

Most ridiculous and unfortunate place to stop for lunch in one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. Save yourself from the headache of dealing with ignorant non Italian people serving food that's expired. They most rude people I have met in this beautiful city. Most disappointed ☹️😞 they make soup one bowl at a time and only had one bowl of soup to serve , because they use fresh ingredients and only had enough fresh ingredients to make one bowl of soup to serve their first customers for the day. Second request on menu was also not available. We chose to leave and paid for the order we never received. Folks don't waste your time at this place.

You can have All items on the menu in gluten-free. The price of 15€ for the menu is a really good deal and you are getting a great quality. The other items in the menu are also very good. You can sit outside under roof. Don’t forget to go into the caves under the restaurant

Ate here with husband two of the three nights in Orvieto. The food was fabulous. I had pizza and mixed salad and my husband had the pasta ragu. We both had wine. They had been slammed earlier in the day and were tired but nevertheless provided great service. This is a family run restaurant with grandma, grandpa, mom, dad and three kids working. The environment is pretty and clean unlike another place we tried. They have an extensive menu. Highly recommend this place.

The food was delicious, started with delicious appetizers and we moved to the main dishes. I had a pizza myself which was fantastic, a great balance of flavor from the salami and the spices. Other people in the table ordered fish and pasta which were also very good. Marco was our waiter and he was of the experience, we had a great time with him in there and if you are lucky enough to have him as your waiter, you will rethink what is good service. He will listen carefully to all of your dietary restrictions and will make sure the food is the way you need it to be.

Carbonara and pizza was awesome! Love the place :D

I’m a coeliac, so I used the AIC app to find GF friendly places to eat. PantArhei was highly recommended, and it certainly lived up it. Marco was truly exceptional as host, and made feel incredibly welcome (despite my non-existent Italian). The food was truly exceptional. As coeliacs we’re used to having to make to do when dining out. But I’ve never had GF bread or pizza as good as this. It was reminded me of how good things were before I developed coeliac disease. I’m from the UK, and we have nothing close to this options wise. So if you’re ever in Terni, gluten free or not, PantArhei has to be your first choice for dining out

if you are thinking about going to this restaurant, THINK TWICE!!! When we came dirty plates were on table next to us during our visit(2 hours). Now let’s talk about the food: -Carbonara was disgusting, too salty and pasta wasn’t boiled enough -Pasta with Tartuffo was without tartuffo, it was with champignon. Embarrassment. -Fish was flat and not seasoned enough. To sum up, THINK TWICE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GO THERE!

Fantastic food and a must try in Terni! Definitely a spot to try! Marco is amazing and helped accommodate for any gluten free allergies.

The waiters are very nice, the food is super good and authentic. Thanks so much for everything!

Phenomenal service and pizza, and lovely decor inside the restaurant as well. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Terni!

The rooms were very old fashioned. The owner should renovate the rooms. Unfortunately we could not try the restaurant but I would not recommend the hotel.

Kind staff and good food as well. Very pleasant vibe

This place has it all. Veggie, vegan and meat alla brace. Wonderful staff too. Relaxed atmosphere. Unlikely location, but don't let that deter you.

I live close by and I love this place for its food and super friendly staff. They have a more interesting menu than the other local restaurants in my opinion. It's also a joy bringing my toddler here, which isn't always a easy thing eating out. "Lara" is the star of this place!

Excellent food and good and friendly service.

Friendly, accommodating staff. Perfect portions, quality ingredients.

Great quality price wise, cheap good quality and fast! Perfect for the road

I would give 6 stars... So good!

Ok

Buano

(Translated by Google) Top restaurant I went more than once always high quality highly recommended, perfect temperature especially for a summer dinner, kind and always available staff (Original) Ristorante top sono andato più di una volta sempre alta qualità super consigliato,temperatura perfetta sopratutto per una cena estiva,personale gentile e sempre disponibili

(Translated by Google) Excellent large pizzas with a wide variety of toppings! A lovely place where you can eat both inside and outside. The garden is beautifully kept with unique plants. Parking is a bit difficult to access, and when it's crowded, there's not enough room for everyone. Service is a bit slow and inattentive, perhaps due to the large crowd. (Original) Ottime pizze grandi e ben farcite! Il posto molto bello dove si può mangiare sia fuori che dentro. Giardino super curato con piante particolari. Parcheggio un po' impervio da raggiungere che se pieno di persone non c'è posto per tutti. Il servizio un po' lento e distratto forse a causa delle troppe persone presenti

On a cute side street in Narni, it’s quite pretty, but not got a view over the countryside like the restaurants nearby, and the food is average - it very much depends on the dish, the local egg/truffle and truffle pasta dishes are probably better than cod for example.

Delicious food, friendly people and very good price. It's worth a visit! 😄

Nice lunch but nothing special. Price a little high considering the food and the fact that it is positioned in the middle of nowhere.

Food (esp pasta) was very good. Reasonable prices. Would return

Cheap and tasty. We loved this break on our way to our destination. Seem to be ran by a family with very old tradition and indeed dishes from the umbria's history and culture

Great spot along our way to Le Marche... Thanks Google ;)

Best food I ever ate!

This restaurant was recommended by both our accommodation hosts and by a good friend who is a long time visitor to Orvieto. We made a reservation earlier in the day to ensure we could secure an outdoor table. The staff were very welcoming, attentive and friendly. My lovely described the lamb as “Bellissimo”. Cooked to perfection. Having completed the tour of the Orvieto Underground earlier in our visit I finally took the plunge and ordered the local delicacy - piccione (pigeon). It was cooked well and I am glad to have had the experience. The house red was more than acceptable - a lovely drop. With the visit.

Authentic Umbrian cuisine at this cozy trattoria located on a small street near the Piazza della Repubblica. The decor, service, and food were all characterized by understated elegance. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience after a day of exploring Orvieto.

A hidden gem in Orvieto. We stumbled upon this restaurant on our 1st evening in Orvieto. We did not have a reservation, but they were still able to seat us at one of their outdoor tables. Which was perfect for us. The service was excellent. The food and wine were delicious. We will definitely go back next time we are in Orvieto.

Wonderful little Trattoria, chicken cacciatore was the highlight. Umbrichelli with truffle and cinghiale rags was excellent.

I had lunch at Trattoria dell’Orso and was very disappointed, despite the high ratings. The service was inconsistent: one server (wearing glasses) was extremely rude — he never looked at me, spoke only in Italian knowing I couldn’t understand, and even turned his back on me when I asked a question. It felt xenophobic, something I’ve never experienced before in Italy. The other server, however, was polite and professional, and the only reason I give two stars instead of one. To make matters worse, my table overlooked trash bins on the street, which spoiled the atmosphere, and the food itself didn’t make up for the poor experience. I would not return, and I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Great meal. Everything was delicious and staff made sure to ensure that my food was nut free as I have a bad allergy.

Reservations highly recommended or you might not get a table. Delicious Orvietan fare.

The lasagna, the gnocchi and parmigiani was cleared heated up in a micro. The wine is too expensive, 6€ mini glass. The waiter and the boss were polite, at least.

Lasagna was the BEST PASTA/LASAGNA OF ALL TIME no joke. All the pastas were delicious 🤤. I would live here to eat here for… forever!

Went for a light lunch but the menu looked great so we ended up ordering a full meal. Glad we did because everything was excellent. Kids and grown ups loved their food and great wine choices. Prices were great as well and the location cannot be beat.

The restaurant enjoys a great location and offers an appealing, thoughtfully crafted menu with some really interesting choices. The food itself is worth a visit. Unfortunately, the experience is undermined by the service. Staff tend to be stiff and come across as condescending, which can make guests feel more judged than welcomed. A little warmth and humility would go a long way in matching the quality of the food and setting.

Lovely little family run business with great hosts, wonderful food and delicious wine. I visited this restaurant with my sister and her family and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend their house white (Orvieto Classico), we couldn't leave after lunch without purchasing a bottle.

We drove 70% of italy in our 3 weeks vacation, and is the best pasta we ever had in our trip in Italia and in our lives.

Absolutely spectacular service going above and beyond for my (famously) impossible dad. The food was delicious and if we were staying longer we’d be back again tomorrow! Highly recommend

I went to the Locanda some days ago, together with my wife. We wanted to have some seafood dishes. So we chose to go for dinner at the Locanda del Poggio. Very busy on thursday. We had the 34€ course. If course excellent seafood, 8 appetizer 4 cold and 4 warm. Excellent. 1 Risotto very appreciated. 2 Main courses. Fried clam and prawn (Frittura) an 4 grilled prawn. Grechetto wine and lemon sorbetto at the end. Good quality for price. To be suggested

Restaurant specialised on seafood. Typical Italian place with large portions and set menus. Good quality and tasty at reasonable prices. Good for groups - ample parking outside.

This is my third visit. Best seafood in the region of Terni. The whole Branzino and the Orata were spectacular. The service was excellent and the prices reasonable. A must for seafood lovers in Terni

Even if Umbria isn't washed by the sea, la Locanda del Poggio offers the most delicious, freshest seafood meals that you can get around here. I suggest to get "menu fisso" that includes a great variety of warm and cold antipasti, different kind of pasta or gnocchi, fried seafood, giant shrimp, wine, lemon sorbet, coffe, grappa and limoncello. Don't expect to feel hungry after that! Portions are huge and food is really well seasoned and cooked. If you are a tourist in Umbria i think this place is worth to spend lunch or dinner also because the view of the surrounding mountains leaves you breathless. A reservation is suggested because the place is always full.

Very good fish, fantastic service.

The best place to eat fish recipes in Terni

Visiting Da Gregoria is an experience in service, hospitality and outstanding cuisine. Davide, our server and sommelier described all food offerings in incredible detail with flexibility to try many courses. The food is all seasonal and locally sourced. The wine matches are unique and thoughtful. The food preparations are flavourful and well presented.

Absolutely delicious and pleasantly presented. I loved the celebration of the last tomatoes of the season by featuring a simply presented and herbed grilled beefsteak tomato appetizer. The atmosphere is peaceful. A very pretty location. Professional, excellent service. My one reservation is to be careful with how they serve the wine. They give roughly 2 once pours. You think you are at first tasting the wine but when they pour another 2 onces into your glass this counts as your 2nd glass. It adds up.

An exceptional experience. Service was exceptional. Especially Davide. Food was amazing. Beautiful views. We celebrated our 25th anniversary and they gave us a special gift. This might have been the greatest dining experience I have ever had.

A Hidden Gem in Umbria – A Culinary Delight! We stumbled upon Ristorante Gregorio quite by accident while en route to Castello della Sala vineyard in Umbria, and what a fortunate detour it turned out to be! From the moment we arrived, we were treated to an unforgettable dining experience that was both authentic and full of heart. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish featured locally sourced ingredients—succulent wild boar, tender rabbit, perfectly cooked steak, and herbs fresh from their own garden, all brought together with their own olive oil. The flavours were bold, rustic, and true to the region. A special mention must go to Davide, the sommelier, whose knowledge and passion for food and wine elevated the experience even further. His handwritten wine list was a charming touch, and his pairing suggestions were absolutely spot on. It’s rare to meet someone who delivers their recommendations with such genuine enthusiasm and depth. We originally came for lunch, and were so impressed that we returned two days later for dinner—both times equally memorable. It’s not often you find a place that leaves such a lasting impression, and we’re so glad we found it by chance. A well-deserved 5 🌟 from all of us. We’ll definitely be back when we return to Umbria next year. Grazie mille, Ristorante Gregorio!

We had the restaurant to ourselves and the experience - being the food, the wine, and Davide's knowledge of the restaurants and the produce was unmatched. it is a highlight of our time here in italy so far. thank you so much again, we love orvieto and our time we had there. we will be back!

This is truly a remarkable experience of Umbrian food at its best. Here nothing is average, and the combination of tastes are unique. Lost il the middle of a mountain this a gem of a restaurant.

Had a wonderful family lunch at this restaurant. Our second visit. The food was delicious and our host was so knowledgeable regarding the superb menu and also the wines. A gorgeous view from our table. Will be back next year.

Wonderful food and excellent service. Pasta, octopus, wild pork ....and the pana cotta salty caramel. A must go eat !!! We were happy that someone recommended to us. Went twice... superb wine selection and very reasonably priced

Wonderful modern italian cuisine with a great service

Lovely, cozy place, with great food. We had local home made pasta and wine. Very nice and helpfull stuff.

Usually never leave reviews, but this place deserves it. Been to Italy more times than I can count, and this place had some of the best Vitello Tonnato and pasta dishes in general that I’ve had. We arrived 40 min after close of the kitchen and they still welcomed us in, lovely place

Home made food trattoria with some local specialties that are wonderful. Enjoy

Pasta with mushrooms is the best I've tried! The service is very professional.

My favorite restaurant in Terni city center. Atmosphere is authentic, cozy and clean. Food is extremely good and fairly priced. If you're visiting Terni, make sure to pay Lillero a visit to try typical food from the area, like for instance "Ciriole" pasta or cured meats. It is not easy to find a good restaurant in Terni nowadays but thankfully Lillero is a really good trattoria. Don't miss it!

At first everything was fine, nice place, normal service, there is a fish menu for those who do not eat meat. Large selection of wines. Before leaving I noticed a large selection of rum, and since I like to try unusual rum that you will not find in a regular bar, I asked for one glass. In general, I am used to the fact that in tourist places a good unusual glass of rum in addition to a plate of chocolate and fruit will cost 12-15 euros per person. But in this restaurant just drinking rum at the bar before leaving cost 25 euros ;) something to think about when visiting this place. Otherwise, everything is ok ;)

After a day around Cascata delle Marmore and the park area, we were looking for a restaurant for a late lunch. We were driving down the road and just happened upon this place. I’m really happy we did. It’s very inconspicuous from the outside, but inside, there is a beautiful restaurant and hotel, as well. Their carbonara was absolutely delicious, along with the portion, and the service was exquisite. Definitely a nice place to stumble upon.

Decent food but nothing over avarage. Positive was the huge fish antipasto. Rest was quite neutral in flavors. Service was stressed and quite arrogant and unpolite like the work was just a big pain.

One of the best restaurant in the area specially if you wanna try local specialty food. The owners own the place since ever and they're very professional. Desserts are something you don't have to miss.

Family run hotel and restaurant. Fantastic place, amazing food, great and friendly service. A must if you are visiting the area!

I liked the Rossi Hotel Restaurante. Nice large room, with essential services, large and comfortable bathroom. The restaurant was really good, with great typical food.

One of the best places to eat in the valley, has been for many years. 👌

Amazing place, great local dishes, fresh ingredients, nice staff that wants you to discover the local food and traditions. A must go for anyone driving by Terni !

What a nice place to discover local food!

very kind waitress, she spend time explaining us the menu… food was delicious, very good price-performance ratio

Best meal we had in month of visiting Southern Italy and Sicily!

Great local food and wine, and a very friendly and helpful waiter who explained all the dishes to us in English.

Food is very nice here and prices are moderate. Staff members are very friendly.

Amazing

Lovely location on the lake . Food is excellent. Good selection of pizza and some meat. Generous portions, the price is correct. Book in advance as the place was fully booked mid-week at end of July. Service was alright to start either and then slowed down which dampened a bit our enthusiasm. overall a good experience.

Unwelcoming service, mediocre quality pizza. Don’t understand the average 4.3 rating. Doesn’t represent the quality of our experience at this place. We arrived 19.00. Although it is stated here that the place opens at that time, we were sent away with the info that they open at 19.30. When I looked surprised I was asked if we wanted to make a reservation. So we did. When we came back at 19.30 there were 3-4 tables already filled (so others were allowed to sit down earlier? Btw: a more elegant way to receive a customer would be to offer them to sit down and have a drink, informing them that the kitchen only opens at 19.30.) Despite lots of tables being available when we arrived, we were placed at the most remote table of the place, where 2 of our party of 4 were facing the wall. (Plenty of tables remained available, some for the whole duration of our meal, so telling us there was no other table free to offer us a nicer view of the lake at the time we arrived would not be an adequate explanation.) When the pizza’s arrived, they were tasteless, rubbery and soaking in oil. (I should have read the 1-star reviews here, I see now, because that description also provided by others looks familiar; but we originally went by the average 4.3 scoring - which is very misleading). We had ordered one of the more expensive wines on the menu (the Montefalco). The wine itself was fine, but when it was served, the bottle was simply opened and the wine poured into our glasses, without letting us taste in advance. (Which is customary practice for any decent place to eat, especially in Italy, where usually good quality food is served with pride.) During our meal, we saw another couple who apparently were not happy about the quality of their pizza. The owner/boss came out and started quarreling with the couple… All in all: the location on the lake is the best thing about the place. The wine (that was good thanks to the winery, not necessarily to the credit of this place) tasted fine, but was served sloppily. Being first sent away, and then offered the most remote terrace table with restricted views made us feel “tolerated” rather than welcomed. The pizza’s were below par - and certainly not the quality we expect to be served in a 4.3/5-rated pizzeria in Italy.

We had great pizza's. The service was also very friendly. Highly recommend

The manager was an absolute rude one. I asked a question about what was on the bill, and instead of simple answer you were arguing and defending for no reason. I dine often in Italy since I live here. I work in restaurants for nearly 20 years and I know what are the service charges. What I want to say there was no need for you being rude and raising your voice. I didn't expect any special treatment, simply you don't talk to people that way. It is simple manners to have in relation with others. And you continue to fight here on the review page. I don't speak to anyone like that, especially to my clients that I serve.

I didn't eat here, since I passed by this place before their opening /dinner hours. Loved the colorful tables and chairs

Best tiramisu on the area and lovely staff. Highly recommended.

Beautiful setting on a peaceful lake, wonderful service and amazing pizza. Good selection of Italian craft beers too.

Enjoyed most of our meal. We wanted to order the zucchini pasta dish, but was told that it wasn't available and they'd swap it out with mushrooms. What we didn't realize was that basically it was mushrooms and parsley which was an entirely different dish which was "eh." We also ordered the formaggio starter, but received the full salami and formaggio starter. It was really good, but more food than we wanted. I honestly don't know if it was a mistake or not because there definitely wasn't a language barrier. Otherwise we enjoyed our meal and evening there! I also heard another guest arrive later than us say that he was told to order the rosé because it was special in some way. Hopefully you'll get the chance to give it a try!

Amazing place with outstanding food. Glad we stopped by.

Recommended this restaurant from the local hotel we were staying at. Unfortunately didnt have the best experience. We ordered our food and then were asked what we would like to drink. My wife asked for a cola which they don’t serve… yet no alternative given. My friends just ordered water and I asked for a red wine. I then even asked if they had anything such as lemonade etc which again was shot down with a no. Our drinks arrived and I was presented with a full vase of red wine. I mentioned that I only wanted a glass to be returned with “ you should have said “ ( considering my friends had all being asked what they wanted to drink and my wife all replying I thought this would of been obvious and in my defence if the server was unsure maybe they should of asked me - after all I’m the customer ???!!. Anyways onto bread gate - we were served bread in a bag ( yes customary some places) without any plates to start, we were nearly done with the bread when the after thought to put some plates out began. My friends whom are vegans had pretty good food throughout and they were relatively happy with their food. My carbonara was fine very authentic. However my second meal and what my wife had as her main - grilled beef fillet - well I can say I’ve never had such an awful fillet steak in my life - I’ve eaten all over the world previously working with the formula one Grand Prix circuit so I’ve had Italian beef fillet plenty at the likes of San Marino in years previously. The fillet was burnt on the bottom which left a charcoal and a hard crunch bitter taste. The whole fillet had so much fat in it, was it even a fillet. My wife had similar issues with her steak but it was nothing on par with mine. I picked apart what I could and left a deconstructed piece of meat on my plate ever clear for the sever to see and ask me if anything was up. Or how was your meal etc. But no nothing not a word… even when clearing up the half drank glass of red wine that the server accidentally knocked over smashing the glass on the floor. Not a word. They offered to replace the glass of wine and I just explained it was fine and the moment had now gone. We all finished up and I asked for the bill, taking myself to the bar to pay it so we could leave. The server reduced my bill by 2 euro to compensate the wine that was knocked over- I chuckled and was polite just saying I was not bothered what the bill was I was happy to pay to go. Maybe they were having a bad night I don’t know. But my personal experience was bad and it so disappointing after being recommended it and also reading all the good reviews online. I hope it was just a blip but for me I would not return as there were so many issues which could have been rectified if the establishment had wanted to put some effort into my groups experience.

The meat pasta is amazing!! Very affordable price

Friendly and genuine staff. Good food and will definitely go back. Thank you!

Good things: Food wise, menu is very interesting and typical of a zone. Pasta was delicious. Bad things: service is ... weird. We found shreds of broken glass on the floor that our dog was about to eat, picked up one piece and gave it to the waiter who said "sorry" and ignored the rest of the glass. We moved the dog to another side and told a different waiter about the glass, he also said "sorry" but ignored the rest of the glass under table🤷After we asked for the conto we waited for another 15-20min although staff was not busy, after which I just went directly there to pay. Was met with quite a strange attitude. (Just to add, we had an Italian with us and we're ordering everything in Italian, and our impression of the service was the same)

The restaurant is very nice. It has a "medieval" feel and it is located right in the center of a medieval town. The menu has all the essentials with no frills. It is real homemade food so, as it is written in a notice outside, if you want to eat there you should take it easy and wait for the necessary amount of time for your food to be ready. It's very small so I think that reservation is more than advisable.
