My favorite dish was the tonnaroli pasta with sausage, red onion cooked so long it liquefied, and a sagrantino wine reduction. The flavors were intense, original and memorable. I have lived in Italy and am 100% Italian so my palate is demanding - and it was one of the best plates of pasta I've ever eaten. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and staff was attentive and professional.

I CANNOT emphasize how much I love this place…read more Fiorefiore is the in-house restaurant for Roccafiore's Wine Resort. My partner and I came a few times during our stay. Here are only a few of the reasons this place is great: - It was incredibly easy to get a table. We would always be able to walk in and sit down. No reservation. Though I'm guessing May is their slower time. - The staff overachieves for sure. Shout out to Beatrice for being so attentive. Double shout out to Alessio the sommelier who carefully explained wines to us and answered all of our questions. - The food is indescribable. All dishes are seasonal and local to the area. And very well-priced. Every single dish knocked it out of the park. - The ambiance is so lovely. Cool art, beautiful dishes and glassware, and lots of windows where you can look out and see the panoramas. The only downside is that it is so far removed. You need a car to get there. But it is 100% with the trip. And once you arrive, there is easy parking! Next time I am in Umbria, I will absolutely make it a point to stop by again.

We ordered: - Carbonara di Rosy con Tartufo Nero Estivo - Trofie Cacio, Pepe e Tartufo Nero - Pappardelle al Ragu di Cinghiale e Crema di Porcini - Tagliolini al Tartufo Nero Estivo - Bocconicini di Agnello al forno con Crema di Porcini e Olive nere - Tournedos di Filetto di Maiale con crema al Tartufo - Bocconicini di Pollo al Tartufo Nero Estivo su lettino di Lattuga - Profiterols al Cioccolato e Crema Chantilly The restaurant is quaint and quiet when we arrived. In fact we were the first ones to have lunch today. Primi: The pastas were delicious. However, I couldn't taste the tartufo in the carbonara. Perhaps it was because the pancetta over powered the taste. The best pasta we ordered by far was the Cacio e Pepe. Secondi: all the meats were very tender. You can really taste the truffles in the pork tenderloin, but may be a touch too salty. The portions are quite large so sharing may be an option. Dolce: Delicious Profiterols. A perfect amount of dark chocolate and creme sweetness to complete our very full meal. Overall, it was a very tranquil lunch and my friends and I had a wonderful time. The owner was attentive and gave us enough time to enjoy our meals. If we pass by Collevalenza we will surely stop here for a bite.

Simply, we sat for near a half-hour before getting menuis (my wife and mine didn't match). Another couple came in and sat at the table next to ours about 20 minutes aft6er we did and ordered, were served, ate and left before we got our main courses. It took nearly an hour to be asked what we wanted to eat. Granted, they were busy, but the answers are simple == either take some of the tables out or hire a waiter who has the slightest concept of what the task entails. Avoid this place. There is another restaurant about a mile down the road with efficient wait staff, an enormous list of very local wines, good food, and prices far less than the Torre Sangiovanni.

It is on a nondescript street, down a few steps into a delightful small and cozy cave-room. You really need a reservation to be guaranteed a table. Peeking out from the small kitchen window is the cook/wife/owner and greeting us and taking our order was the husband/owner.

The atmosphere is intimate and cosy making-up for the lack of natural light (though there are some tables in the narrow pedestrian street outside) The welcome and service were cordial and the food fresh, imaginative and somewhat more refined than the staple Umbrian farmhouse fare, without being fussy, and served in ample quantities. We paid €20/head for a light lunch of 2 courses with wine and coffee (in Summer 2013), which we thought was reasonable. My only reservation; the patate ripassate seemed to have been clumsily fried to a crisp, rather than sautéed. Most of the other guests seemed like Italian locals, which is a big plus in a town so heavily populated by tourists, which makes eating here feel a bit more special.
