​The Orvieto Cathedral is truly impressive. Its location on top of the hill structure naturally provides it with a well-protected position. The most striking feature is the exterior, where the gold-painted facade beautifully catches the sunset light. Inside, the sculptures and the overall aesthetic of the interior make for a very pleasant and rewarding visit.

As the most famous attraction in the city, this church is magnificent and rich in historical value. Legend has it that Michelangelo visited it in his youth to draw inspiration, which shows how profound its artistic value is. The church itself is not as magnificent as other churches in Rome, but the sculptures here convey the people's worship and longing for the church at that time. If you have enough time, I recommend purchasing a ticket to visit the underground city. Unfortunately, we arrived early this time and the guided tour had not yet started. I believe I will definitely visit the underground city next time I visit!

It's a massive Cathedral. The experience is amazing. It is as much a gallery of art as a place of worship. So as a mark of respect don't use camera inside the Cathedral. For tourists, take a train from Rome, or Florence to Orvieto. Then the Funicular to the top of the hill. There's a small fort and a underground place also for visitors. Local food is very good and reasonably priced

The Duomo in Orvieto is one of the most beautiful churches I’ve visited in Italy. The outside is stunning — the front is full of detailed mosaics, sculptures, and gold decorations that shine in the sunlight. The walls are made of black and white stone in stripes, which makes it look very unique compared to other cathedrals. Inside, the cathedral is peaceful and full of history. The most impressive part is the Chapel of San Brizio, where you can see amazing frescoes by Luca Signorelli. These paintings show scenes from the Last Judgment and the Apocalypse, and the emotion and detail in the faces are incredible. It’s hard to believe they were painted over 500 years ago. Another highlight is the crypt, which many visitors miss. It’s small but very interesting, with ancient frescoes, old tombs, and Christian symbols. It feels like a hidden part of the cathedral that connects you to a much older time. Overall, the Duomo is not just beautiful — it also tells many stories through its art and structure. If you’re in Orvieto, don’t miss it. It’s a perfect mix of architecture, art, and history in one place.

Stunning architecture! Italy is home to many exceptional cathedrals, but this one truly stands out as one of the most remarkable in all of Europe. Entry is only €6.50, and remember to cover your shoulders and legs to be allowed inside. The grandeur and beauty are absolutely breathtaking, you’ll be amazed.

This is a stunning 1500 church in the Florence style using the black and white stones to create the iconic stripes. The fresco paintings inside are well worth a look. They depict the Last Judgment, featuring vivid scenes of the Resurrection of the Flesh, the Elect in Paradise, and the Damned in Hell.Buy the entry tickets opposite.

Stunning! Difficult to rate a place of worship, but well worth a visit. Not very busy and the chapels are almost on par with the Vatican Museum in Rome a real gem

Fascinating place. Great to understand the systems and procedures the people had in the Middle-Ages against a siege. The water supply for Orvieto comes from outside the city walls via natural springs. In a siege these are not possible to access. You will learn on this tour how they provided for the community. Plus you learn how to have an ongoing supply of food. All because the Romans knew how to make concrete and the essential element, cement. Pozzolana is a reactive siliceous material, found naturally as volcanic ash, that is added to cement. Anyway, very interesting. On a hot day this place is a great place to go :) If you like history and human ingenuity then go on this tour.

The Orvieto Underground tour was a truly insightful experience. It's amazing to see how the city's residents leveraged its unique geology to create a hidden network of over 400 tunnels and spaces. This provided them with a safe haven and a means of survival. The tour was well-paced and we were able to see an ancient olive oil mill, a pigeon farm, and a hospital, all hidden beneath the city. To avoid disappointment, make sure to get your tickets in advance. You can book them online or at the ticket counter by the Cathedral. It's important to remember that they have separate schedules for Italian and English tours.

Really interesting tour of some of the extensive tunnel network that runs under the town, built by the Etruscans over 2000years ago, mainly for water collection but also to home pigeons as a food source during times of siege. Well worth doing, suggest book in advance or for after your visit to the cathedral. Great guide, very knowledgeable.

Excellent attraction not to be missed when visiting Orvieto. Our guide (for the English tour) is called ROSITA. She is beyond FABULOUS! We learned A LOT during the tour. Make sure you buy this one (offered by the city, ticket office in front of the Duomo). There are other underground tours but this one is the biggest and the best (yes, I did my homework before coming to Orvieto).

A lovely experience under the popular town of Orvieto. Lovely tour guide talks about the Etruscan history. Can get a little tight on the 2nd part of the tour so make sure you are happy with tight spaces. Worth the money.

A must when in Orvieto. Our guide perfectly explained how geology shaped Orvieto. The wells dug by the Etruscans through volcanic stone to reach the water in the clay layer, the cellars used to keep pigeons (for their meat, eggs, and fertile droppings - the Chinese had yet to invent gunpowder) and later to keep safe while under attack,... PS: keep your ticket; it can be used to gain reduction at another attraction in Orvieto.

It was OK. The tour guide was great. She had lots of good, interesting information. Wasn't a whole lot to see, but we enjoyed it. It was worth the price of admission. Not as much as pizza di cave.

Outstanding collection.

Interesting but you have to take your time and it's 99% in Italian so if you don't speak it, it's a little more rough to take in.

One of the most beautiful exteriors of a church i have seen.

Amazing place to visit. Enjoy the combined tickets where you can visit here, the Cathedral and the Museo Emilio Greco

Torre del Moro in Orvieto, Italy, is a magnificent medieval tower that offers visitors a glimpse into the town's rich history and stunning panoramic views. Standing tall at 47 meters, this iconic structure dates back to the late 13th century and decorates the skyline with its imposing presence. Originally constructed as a watchtower, it has witnessed the passage of time and served various purposes, including housing a water tank. Visitors can climb its 236 steps to reach the top, where they are rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding Umbrian landscape and the charming town below. The clock added in the 19th century continues to keep time, a testament to the enduring legacy of this historical gem. Safe travels my friends 🙏♥️😊

The best view in town is from the clock tower …you can see everything from this vantage point and it’s quite impressive The clock town is the highest point of Orvieto and well worth the visit and the climb How far up you ask ? Well you can take the lift (don’t get too excited it only goes to the second floor - so Italian !) once at the 2nd floor it about 170 steps up Thinking I was fairly fit it’s didn’t seem much for a great view of town and surrounding area - I will say I was a little puffed by the time I got to the top and I didn’t take the lift (saving only a few steps) but maybe a good thing ! Once at the top the view was amazing and you certainly forgot quickly the fact that you are a little out of breath It’s a strange this that a wonderful and totally Instagram able town like Orvieto is often forgotten amongst the Florence Rome Amalfi Cinque Terre Venice (your getting the picture - there are so many great places those influencers don’t know about ….yet) If you find yourself in town and I suggest a visit then one thing you must do is walk up the clock tower for the best view in town Enjoy

For a few pounds you can climb 300 steps to the top floor and see the panoramic view of the whole city. It is definitely worth the price! Even if you don’t have much time to visit, it is recommended to come here and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

After 250 steps or so you are rewarded with great 360 views of Orvieto and the surrounding area. Ticket price was €3.80 per person, and €3.00 for students. There’s a lift that saves your quads 70 steps or so. Definitely worth seeing if you are up to the challenge!

Breathtaking views! The 200-odd stairs aren't that many, and you can skip half with the elevator.

After descending the 54 meters of St. Patrick's well, to keep fit, you can go up the 47 meters of the thirteenth-century "Del Moro" tower. The reward is a nice 360° view over Orvieto. An elevator will help you to reach the first floors. The admission price is €3.80 or it is included in the €25 "ORVIETO CARTA UNICA" cumulative ticket.

Let’s start with the hard part, this has a lot of steps (170) so before you go make sure that you can make the climb. Once on the top the views are absolutely amazing. With you already being in Orvieto which is on a hill you can see everything in the surrounding valley for the top of the Torre del Moro.

We sat inside and it’s very intimate. The tables are arranged so there’s still space and the servers weave through the traffic like experts. The wines were great and prices seemed reasonable. The meat and cheese plate was also very filling. We recommend and will probably be back within a few days. There are seats outside. Lots of regulars

Lovely wine bar with very tasty croutons with truffle sauce cheese and truffle carpaccio. Dried tomatoe cheese and aubergine also beautiful. Fabulous little lunch

Excellent wine selection with staff who know how to select excellent wines for your taste and budget. They have deep knowledge of all the local wineries and helped me immensely narrow down a few wineries to visit while there. They also offer a very reasonable shipping service for wines they stock. I just received our wines toady. I cannot recommend this place enough!

We had the wine tasting (4 wines) and the gran taglerria all'orvietana. We eventually bought 3 of the wines we tasted! A cozy place right in the buzzing alleyways of Orvieto, would recommend for a tasting and a lunch with localw artisinal products.

We stopped by Bottega Vera yesterday for a couple of glasses of wine and some nibbles. The service was excellent, the wine selection impressive, and the food delicious. Highly recommended for a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Cute little spot for a delicious drink! They have delicious Aperol spritzes and a great wine selection. I loved the outdoor seating

Fantastic place to get a flight of wine! 4 wines for 15 euros. We did a flight of red and flight of white. It was great to try each local wine with a plate of bread, meat, and cheese.

Plain and quiet church, beautiful crypt, and surprise: the cross that spoke to St Thomas Aquinas!

Beautiful.

Very cool

Mmm

Amazing town

(Translated by Google) A very interesting church built in 1233, one of the first linked to the Dominican Order, established shortly after the Saint's death. Imagine, the rest of the structure was demolished in 1932 to make way for the Women's Academy of Physical Education, now home to the training center of the Baschi Verdi of the Guardia di Fisica! As you approach, you realize that only the apse and part of the transept remain. Inside, it preserves a historical treasure: the pulpit on which Thomas Aquinas sat for his theology classes during the period he lived there, between 1263 and 1264... It also houses the mausoleum of Cardinal De Braye, a work by the artist Arnolfo di Cambio from 1282. Incredibly, restorations have revealed that the statue of the Virgin was originally a Roman sculpture from the 2nd century BC! And then there is the octagonal funerary chapel by Michele Sanmicheli, with its sculptures on the floor. Finally, one can admire the polyptych with the Virgin, Child and Saints by Simone Martini, a masterpiece from 1323-1324, now housed in the Museum of the Works of the Cathedral. (Original) Très intéressante église construite en 1233, une des premières liées à l'Ordre des Dominicains, établi peu de temps après la mort du Saint. Imaginez, le reste de la structure a été démoli en 1932 pour faire place à l'Académie féminine d'éducation physique, aujourd'hui siège du centre d'entraînement des Baschi Verdi de la Garde des Finances ! En approchant, on se rend compte qu'il ne reste que l'abside et une partie du transept. À l'intérieur, elle conserve un trésor historique : la chaire sur laquelle s'asseyait Thomas d'Aquin pour ses cours de théologie pendant la période où il y vivait, entre 1263 et 1264 ... On y trouve également le mausolée du cardinal De Braye, œuvre de l'artiste Arnolfo di Cambio de 1282. Incroyablement, les restaurations ont révélé que la statue de la Vierge était à l'origine une sculpture romaine du IIème siècle avant J.-C. ! Et puis, il y a la chapelle funéraire octogonale de Michele Sanmicheli, avec ses sculptures sur le sol. Enfin, on peut admirer admire le polyptyque avec la Vierge, l'Enfant et les Saints de Simone Martini, un chef-d'œuvre de 1323-1324, maintenant conservé au Musée de l'Œuvre de la Cathédrale.

(Translated by Google) The good fortune of finding it open on a Sunday afternoon into the evening inspired me to visit this beautiful church. With its imposing wooden beam ceiling and paintings inside, if you love culture and seek a moment of peace and prayer, this is the place for you. (Original) La fortuna di averla trovata aperta di domenica pomeriggio verso sera, mi ha spinta a visitare questa bella chiesa. Imponente il soffitto in travi di legno e i dipinti all'interno, se ami la cultura e cerchi un momento di pace e preghiera questo è il luogo giusto per te.

It all started when I was first hungry so I looked for a nearby place to eat something and I randomly found this shop. It looked really cute on the outside and then when I entered I wanted to buy everything, but I only ended up buying a cheap but delicious ice cream. The pastry was amazing, the design was the best thing I ever saw and the workers were super kind. I also drank a coffee which was like adding a cherry on top. Overall, you don't want to miss out this place!

Simply the best, very welcoming staff, delicious ice-cream and sorbet. A little more expensive than the usual place, but that is the usual Orvieto price tag. Our toddler was delighted with the Strawberry but you have to try the Creme Brulé one of the best new ice cream flavours I've ever tried! Cones are nice and crunchy and fresh too.

Their ice cream is excellent: creamy texture and rich flavor. What is even better is their cone - perfect match with their ice cream. Friendly and fast service. I recommend!

My favorite ice cream in the world. Their sorbets are crazy good. Made with real fruit and not too sweet.

The pistacchio I got at the original location in front of the Duomo 25 years ago was a transformative experience. Went there recently with my husband and children and it was exactly as I remembered! One of the best ice creams in Italy - and we have tried tons! Go to the location on the street not the one in front of the Duomo. Spectacular!

Really good! We loved especially Cuba rhum and the coffee one!

Went back for another cone less then two hours later it was just that good! Super friendly lady working, happily translated any flavours we needed help with. Everything we tried was extremely flavourful and natural and there was delicious unique flavours as well as all the usual. 2.50 for a small cone with 3 flavours of creamy deliciousness, what’s not to love?

Restaurant interior is magnificent. Concept is highly thoughtful. After 10 courses degustation we feel that some dishes are not as great as the others. One dish has special place in our hearts - chocolate soufflé! Definitely place has big potential.

My wife and I live close to Orvieto and decided to try Coro that opened quite recently. The restaurant is stunning, small church, excellent design, marvelous china. We decided to go for one of the menus combined with the wine pairing. Although I did not like the amuses much, the food was truly delicious and the combination with the wines was excellent and creative. The service was very friendly, welcoming and forthcoming. A true team effort. We arrived around 20.00 and left around midnight, which says it all. Very intimate and enjoyable dinner, can not wait to go back.

The experience was amazing, from walking in and experiencing an ancient church turned restaurant, to the wonderful service who explained each course of the tasting menu with excitement. The ambience was perfect for a date night, and we brought along our baby and found them (and the other patrons) to be incredibly accommodating. Make sure you book ahead to be lucky enough to eat here!

Our Coro experience was exceptional. The food, wine, service and ambiance were all amazing. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. The emphasis on quality and excellence is apparent. We had the four course tasting menu and the food and wine pairings were excellent. A truly special experience that we will be sure to repeat.

It pains me to write this...but...we did not have a good experience and I would never go back. Let's start with some positive before we get into it. The ambience is very nice, in an old church. Lighting is really what makes the atmosphere. It creates a very intimate dining experience. Service. Highs and lows here. Our server was spot on with pairing wines with my order. I asked her to simply bring what she felt would pair best with my food, and it was fabulous. However, when we originally placed our order, she didn't write anything down. Sure enough, 5 minutes later she came back asking what we ordered because she said she had forgotten. Now, for the next part, I totally know that waiting for the check is common in Italy. I'm cool with that. But, waiting for FORTY FIVE minutes after you are done??? As in, the table had been cleared, we said we were done, and then sat there and stared at each other for the next 45 minutes watching all of the other tables getting served, including bringing their checks. By this point we were completely over the experience. Food. Presentation was excellent. Taste was 'ok.' I had the mussels and pasta dish. The description should have said 'mussel and pasta dish.' ONE mussel, served on the side. What? So I basically just paid for an overpriced pasta dish. One mussel in a restaurant of this caliber? My father and I both got the lamb as well. The flavor was very good, but the meat could have been a little more tender. My recommendation: spare your wallet and your time, and go somewhere different for dinner, there are many wonderful restaurants in Orvieto.

*An extraordinary space with unique atmosphere and architecture, where each dish follows the next in perfect harmony. Flavors are thoughtfully paired, and the staff is impeccably trained. A refined experience — also ideal for vegetarians.

We had a wonderful experience at Coro. It was truly one of the most beautiful restaurants we have ever been to, and the food was excellent. We particularly loved two of the main courses, the pasta with chicken giblets and the pork neck which was done to perfection. The team are all perfectionists and it shows in their efforts. Would definitely recommend it to others.

This restaurant is right next to the Duomo and the evening breeze creates such a beautiful ambiance. The dining experience was very slow and the the meat was chewy and not that flavorful with the beef plate.

Excellent as always. Not many excellent restaurants right next to tourist attractions, especially at a reasonable price. I go out of my way to eat here every time I pass by Orvieto. Never been disappointed yet.

We were so surprised by the quality of this restaurant being so close to the Duomo. Excellent service and the setting is so lovely. The menu is creative and fantastic quality. The pigeon was just beautiful

Small restaurant right next to the dom of Orvieto. Extraordinary food, delicious and beautiful for the eyes. The waiters are very friendly, polite and helpful. Good value for the money.

Excellent service, amazing food, perfect location. Great primi and desserts

Wonderfull food, great location. Perfect finale to our last night in Italy

Food was very good! Highly recommend on your visit to Orvieto.

The food here is amazing! Loved the prawn ceviche and the pigeon dishes in particular. Fabulous desserts. All wonderful. A few mosquitos as we sat outside. Not sure why they have staff who are only allowed to collect plates and can’t help with other requests!

Dining at I Sette Consoli was an enchanting experience, marked by the delicate and elegant presentation of each dish. The service was gentle and attentive, complementing the exceptional quality of the food. Although the cheese course left me slightly disappointed due to personal taste preferences, the overall culinary journey was outstanding.

Exceptional meal. Beautiful “house,” garden even more so. Impeccable service: helpful, mindful of pacing and progression, attentive and gracious.. Creative, thoughtful menu making choices challenging. Quality products well prepared, beautifully plated. Extensive, deep and knowledgeable wine list well priced. Most highly recommended.

The worst service ever! Not only in Orvieto, but in the whole Italy! The food is overpriced and not that much of a tasty! They should not accept children if they have to look with annoying faces later! The waitress is rude,my son took one single rosemary out of this vase and she immediately come to tell us “the flowers will get dry”, ladies and gentlemen, please see the “FLOWERS “ in the photo below!

We had a fabulous lunch in the garden. Chose a la carte as we couldn’t have eaten the full tasting menu. Compliments to the chef!

Exquisite food. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Beautiful place and lovely atmosphere. Had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Every single dish was a small wonder - perfectly timed and balanced. The best food experience I have had this year. Among the most memorable in my life. Highly, highly recommended.

What a great restaurant. Amazing service by welcoming, well trained and hospitable staff. We opted for the tasting menu which is a MUST. It is full of surprising dishes you won't find in any other place in town. Our highlight was definitely the wine list that contains beautiful gems for every budget. Be smart and pick something unique from the extensive list!
