It gets crowded with locals but in a cozy way, you can still hear your own conversation. They even have a couch area a few steps above the main bar area you can reserve for a small private group. I would highly recommended if you just want to share wine and conversation.

Amazing spot with street seating along the main drag of Norcia. We came twice during our stay in…read moreUmbria. The wait staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. First time we had glasses of wine and split the faro salad, which was perfectly dressed, simple, and delicious (served with spinach, tomato, local cheese). We came back and had a glass of the Sagrantino, based on the previous review, and it was amazing. Very complex, with strong notes of pepper that left you wanting more. To eat we split the vegetarian lentils (they also serve it cooked with pork), while I had the Tagliatelle alla Norcia (amazing), and my date had a veal dish, which was also spectacular. All in all, an amazing place if you are looking to spend a bit more than just your typical cafe. Excellent wine selection, great service, and overall a very great experience. Definitely will be back if I am lucky enough to go to Norcia again in life.

Inside, a beautiful little wine bar is revealed boasting a selection of the best wines of Italy, most notably, the local Umbrian favorite, Sagrantino di Montefalco. This is an absolutely fantastic place to relax and get a feel for the local flavor of Norcia. Wines from all over, including some amazing micro-wineries are featured here, along with a menu of Umbrian Tapas, featuring locally produced cheese, famous Norcia salames, prosciutto & truffles, and so much more. The staff here is always as friendly as can be, helpful to the extreme. I've been here several times, and have never left disappointed. Simply put, I am very much looking forward to my next time in Norcia and the moment I am sitting at one of the outdoor tables, sipping some Sagrantino, sampling some prosciutto & cheese, and just taking it all in.

So we chosen the set menu for €30 that included a seafood nest for starter (a single filo leaf that contained few stripes of cuttlefish, one mussel and some sprinkled greens. It didn't seem much, but it was pleasant. First dish was seafood spaghetti. It actually was a mild aglio olio & peperochino with oysters placed on top... including the shells that kept me busy for few minutes to clean. The pasta was one minute more al dente than my preferences, but very balanced and nicely cooked. Second plate was a fish (which we never found out what kind) on warm greens and white beans... to die for! They missed couple of small fish bones, but nothing to give you a new piercing. Desert was a cream Catalala, served with some blackberry (I think) sauce which didn't go through a sieve. Maybe it was intentional, ro give some texture. Absolutely indifferent desert! So the food was overall very nice. Service was also good... when there! FYI: there were only two other tables while qe were there. There was quite a waiting time to give our order and a long waiting time to get the bill. Then they really took their time to come back and get paid by card. But I have to admit that they were pretty fast with food serving. The venue is very beautiful and the location awesome (1st floor one the riverside, with access for disabled). The also had facilities for changing a baby, but they had no baby chair!!!
