Eggplant Parmesan, potatoes, ricotta cheese, fried zucchini flowers with cheese inside these were so good! Sliced meats and olives. Everything was delicious! For our mains my husband had the lamb, it is like a stew and on the bone. He enjoyed it, portions are quite large here. I had the home made cavetelli with red pepper and pecorino cheese my cousin and her husband had the orecchiette pasta. My cousins daughter just wanted pasta with tomato sauce and fries. I tasted the fries and even the fries were delicious! For dessert we shared the lemon sorbetto it was devine!! A little pricey but worth it for the food and the ambience.

The ambiance was also just ok. I did enjoy the insalate due, which had crispy proscuitto and homemade croutons, but it didn't come with dressing - rather, they served little packets of oil and aceto balsamico with it. Orchietti is apparently a local specialty, so I ordered theirs, with bacon and crispy peppers (also a local specialty) but the fava bean sauce was not great - thick snd starchy. I appreciated that they had half bottles of local wine, which was nice. My husband enjoyed the baccala, which is a baked cod dish. So not bad, but not as good as noted by prior reviewers. There are better choices in the Sasso Caveoso.

Their English was middling but better than my Italian! My family and I had antipasto, chicken and potatoes, pizza, soup, and ravioli. The chicken and potatoes were great! Frankly, I wanted a straight-forward meat and potatoes meal for a break while touring Italy, and this dish hit the spot--not one tomato on it. The food was good. Cappuccinos were great. We made reservations for dinner and arrived on time at 6pm. The place was empty except for the other tourist family from England. Americans typically eat dinner from 5-7p. Italians eat dinner from 7-9p. We had the restaurant to ourselves for dinner at EVERY establishment we visited until 7p when the locals started showing up. Definitely make reservations if you want to ensure space for your party!
