I Monaci is a MUST EAT whenever we are in Assisi! I first went here with my parents on my very…read morefirst trip to Assisi in 1997. 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!

Had a lovely afternoon in Assisi and researched beforehand locations to eat here. Da Andrea came up…read morein my research for their Torta Al Testo. The Torta al Testo is an ancient Umbrian recipe: a focaccia mixed and cooked on a cast iron plate, then filled with the best of the local butcher's pork products. I opted for the Torta Al Testo pancetta, formaggio e salsa al tartufo. This was amazing. The warm bread with the meat and cheese inside paired so well with the truffles. I was in heaven. There was seating inside and the staff spoke English. The location was easy to find using Google maps and highly recommend if your visiting Assisi.

And cost for both of those plates plus frizzante acqua was $22. I'm from Portland and there's kind of a running joke that things served in mason jars or different vehicles than needed for food is ridiculous, or overdone. They do that here. But they really are just trying to be creative and you can tell the chefs really care and want to create a good experience for you.

The prosciutto crudo with mushroom pizza was very good and a great crust due to the wood brick oven. The house wine was excellent and they were very generous with the pour of the .5 liter. The chef and sous chef seem to really enjoy their work and we're having a good time. No view but the atmosphere was lovely with the brick arched ceiling and nice lighting.

At one point, the waitress leaned out of the corridor to check on how we were doing. We were doing just fine because before us were still bubbling cannelloni, delicious bruschetta, a divine balsamic vinegar-extra virgin olive oil dressing in a spray bottle (which we found so much more logical for applying to very fresh salad), and soda with the ever elusive ice. The French fries were the last thing to come to the table, but they too were obviously fresh! At the end of the meal, our waitress was swarmed by people at the gelato counter. We had to go to the counter to ask for our check, which proved to be an excellent excuse to have some dessert!

We ordered a couple pizzas and my dad ordered a steak. One was vegetarian and the other was prosciutto.

He told the waiter that it was overcooked, and they said they couldn't do anything about it and still charged for it. Decent food, and they have some sweets too, but not the best of Italy.
