Chef Claudio Brugalossi and his staff were absolutely delightful--warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming. The chef personally offered thoughtful recommendations and even shared a bit about his life, which made the experience feel so personal.

Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.

We had just arrived in the area, and were searching for a place open on Sunday night for dinner…read more What luck that we stumbled into Ristorante Gritti at the I Girasoli di Sant'Andrea winery. Over the next week, we came back three more times - once for a wine tasting, and twice more for dinner. Nearly every dish we had was excellent. The staff was warm, friendly and helpful. We also hopped around the wine list a bit - I especially enjoyed the Syrah. We didn't have a better meal in the area - Poggio Manente was the closest runner up. This place is worth a visit if you are in the Niccone Valley area.

They don't speak English so be prepared to use a translation app to decipher the menu if you can't read Italian. We are Americans and eat earlier than most locals so we have been the only ones in the dining room both times we have been there. It has been nice and quiet so it is easy to communicate. Of the pizza places that I have tried in the area, they have the pizza that I like the best and a lot of options.

I recommend parking on the opposite side of the hill and climbing up and over, through the ancient walls and past the church...don't worry there are tons of escalators...however you will have a steep walk up and down once you get on the side with the restaurant but this is still the ideal parking....now the food: this is top notch Tuscan cooking. I had the pici with the boar sauce, my daughter had the ravioli, and my wife had the pappardelle with mushroom sauce. All were amazing. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. And the wine is delicious

Enter an eye catching…read moredinning area underneath a lightly washed stone arch support with warm red color decor and no kitschy nicknacks , and wsite a well dressed. A quite ambiance of refinement We ordered the pre-fix meal and they allowed us to substitute an item. With a glass of prosecco our appetizer was yellow carrot soup with a cauliflower -garlic bruschetta ; very tasty and unique. Next, a mushroom flan in a Parmesan pressed bowl. Paired well with the Multefalco wine. Then came the pasta. Prepared table side it was mixed with salted butter the shaved truffles were added. Not only superb taste but not heavy as I expected. And this too paired well with the regional wine! The meat dish followed. I had the veal with a balsamic demi glaze and my wife had the pork( a bit dry). Veal was tasty and tender. Next, dessert was a vanilla ice cream crepe covered in a tri-berry sauce. This was above average As to the wine, this is my first trip to Umbria where I finally tasted a superb regional wine; Multefalco. Two versions exist. The Rosso ,which is a blend , is a light bodied , fruit-forward wine. The other is a bit more expensive, called the Sagratino. This big, bold, tannin-rich wine easily unwinds in less then an hour into a well balanced, fruit-structured intricate wine. This is an undervalued wine. The most expensive we had in any restaurant was 45 euros for a bottle. Take advantage of it! I gave this place my highest rating for Gubbio because of its ambiance, service, wine knowledge and preparation, price but most of all the PASTA
