Sign posted outside says they're open until 15:30. He could have at least shared sorry, that's not possible as we're a restaurant. It's possible you'll receive service if you're white (I'm not). I visited years ago and was warmly welcomed and had an early afternoon coffee on the terrace, unsure if the manager was having a bad day or if it's the rise in hostility towards non-white people. Either way, I'd avoid.

During our trip to Assisi, we stumbled upon this hidden gem…read more The service was impressively fast--we ordered and received our food within 10 minutes. The ambiance is charming, with a cozy, small-shop feel tucked away in the alleys of Italy. Umbria, the region's cuisine, is known for its bold flavors, local wines, and use of fresh herbs. We tried a few standout dishes: * Tagliolini al tartufo - 5/5 (Rich, earthy truffle flavor, perfectly cooked pasta) * Gnocchi al ragù - 4/5 (Soft gnocchi with a flavorful meat sauce) * Agnello (lamb) with roasted potatoes - 4/5 (Tender and well-seasoned, but could use a bit more crispiness) * Legumi e cereali soup (legume, cereal, and pumpkin soup) - 4/5 (Warm and hearty, great for a chilly day)

I went over there with my mom during the lunch break of a tour in Assisi…read more The place is located in a beautiful plaza and the ambiance is quite nice, we were promptly seated. The service was pretty mediocre, as well as the food. I as expecting greatness, I mean a trattoria in Assisi!? C'mon!! I was definitely disappointed. My mother ordered gnocchi even though the sauce was pretty decent, they were made by flour, not potatoes, meaning no authentic. I had beef with rosemary and it was kinda bland, not what I was expecting. Prices were average, and they charge €2.5 Cover charge per person ( the infamous Cuperto) Not recommended

That being said, I would love to come back and order off the menu to see how it is. The atmosphere here is worth the visit alone! Many of these restaurants, shops and hotels are in ancient buildings that are built on top of even older structures. The smart business people of Assisi have figured out any different ways to display these ruins beneath their businesses. This restaurant owner created a see through floor to show off the historic excavation! Wow! So interesting and fun!

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!

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.

You're thinking what does a handsome American of Filipino-Hawaiian descent know about genuine Italian food? Well I get to say genuine because my Italian-born driver Rolando (see my review of his services) said it was! Service was incredibly friendly and this was pretty amazing because there was no English in our transaction. We all tried our best to order and say pleasantries in Italian. I would like to add that Rolando did come by and help clarify a mix up on my wine order (I almost got a whole bottle to myself oops). I drink, but not like that! But the host and waitress were soooo nice! I got the tagliatelle all' Assisana, a scrumptious fresh pasta with porcini mushrooms, pancetta, in a light aromatic tomato sauce. My wife and kid shared a simple pasta marinara plate and a chicken stewed in tomato sauce. Another shared a margherita pizza with her cousin. Everyone was happy. Definitely recommend.

I'm a little upset bc the meat didn't come with arugula like it said it did. It came with some shreds of lettuce and later when asked about it the waiter said there was some problem with the kitchen... if that's the case i would think they would ask if that's okay first before serving? I mean I've been a server before at numerous places and that seems like the proper etiquette instead of assuming i wont know what the difference between arugula and lettuce is.. rant over. Other than that, good food good service

We also tried the lasagna and that was different layer of eggplant, pasta and sauce again it was beautifully displayed but was okay. The dish that we also ordered was the ravioli that was delicious. Now as for dessert beautiful display but the winner was the tiramisu cannoles. The poached pear was not sweet so this dessert looked amazing, just didn't deliver on taste.
