We went there for lunch and order the vegetable soup which was a large bowl practically a meal a tomatoes based soup with lentils, zucchini, two other types of beans, tomatoes if you are a vegan than this soup is for you! It was fresh and okay like it was missing something just couldn't figure exactly what that ingredient could be to add more flavor to this soup. We also tried the lasagna and that was different layer of eggplant, pasta and sauce again it was beautifully displayed but was okay. The dish that we also ordered was the ravioli that was delicious. Now as for dessert beautiful display but the winner was the tiramisu cannoles. The poached pear was not sweet so this dessert looked amazing, just didn't deliver on taste. Again those cannoles were delicious.

Fast forward to 2009, this restaurant was the location where my wife and I shared with our group of friends that we had just gotten engaged in Assisi! It holds a special place in my heart for those reasons, but also because of the kind owners and the delicious food! Since taking over I Monaci in 2020, Fabio and Chiara have infused the restaurant with their own unique magic, elevating the dining experience with exquisite, Michelin-star-worthy creations while preserving the heart of classic Italian cuisine. Chiara's culinary artistry shines through in every dish, particularly her unforgettable Norcina pasta, a dish typical in the region. This dish literally moved my wife to tears upon her first taste. Fabio, with his warm personality and infectious laughter, expertly navigates the pizza oven and dining room, creating a truly memorable experience for all as he shares about the restaurant or charmingly pokes fun at the diners! Every pasta and pizza are bursting with flavor and the presentation is beautiful! While I'm traveling, sometimes I crave a burger after lots of amazing pasta and pizza. It's pretty difficult to find a good hamburger in Italy. Well, this is your place for an amazing burger! And I haven't even mentioned their magnificent desserts! OH MY, you have to go right now!

I visited years ago and was warmly welcomed and had an early afternoon coffee on the terrace, unsure if the manager was having a bad day or if it's the rise in hostility towards non-white people.
