It's possible you can sneak in and get a table towards the end of the night but don't count on it because you might not get lucky. We dined here twice during our week-long stay at the hotel. It's not a very fancy place but the food is just superb! I recommend the wild boar tagliatelle and the veal steak with balsamic and arugula. (High-quality beef is a local regional specialty. You won't believe how tender it is!)

The bruschetta was made 4 ways with different toppings (tomato; mushroom; cabbage and walnut; and prosciutto). The stew was the best dish I had during my trip. So rich and flavorful. It's only a bowl of meat with juice, so it may require an additional side dish to be filling. I don't remember the carbonara, but I think that's because the stew was outstanding. The tiramisu was very good and I don't usually like it. We had the restaurant to ourselves during a rainy afternoon. The host was very accommodating given that we asked for the check when making our order so as not to miss our bus. Stop by, you won't regret it!

The wild boar pasta was less exciting since the flavor was not quite as complex. The millefoglie dessert was super sweet with chantilly cream, chocolate syrup, and chocolate chips.

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!
