Characteristic environment, you are underground inside a cave/quarry. The dishes are delicious, the wine is good and the service is friendly and competent. Advise.

Great food and friendly service in a cave..who could ask for more? We were sent here by our guesthouse host and loved it. Definitely recommend it!

Restaurant created from one of the many caves that exist underground in Orvieto. The room where we were was a secluded room with only four tables for two. We ate very well. 5 types of crostini, with oil (very good), with tomatoes, olive pâté, etc.
As a second course, grilled wild boar steaks😋And to finish, tozzetti with vin santo. Thanks to the owner who explained the history of this cave to us, and to the girls who served us, really nice and professional.

Best restaurant in the city for sure and I think they know it 😂 I've been to Milan, Florence, Rimini, Tuscany, Rome, Bolognia, and I think this was the best place. Nothing beats Italian food in Tuscany for me, especially in these medieval cities. They're not tourist traps, they're actual farm to table stuff. I had truffle here, and then went to a truffle specialty restaurant in Rome, and this place was so much better. I ordered so much and it was so good. Recommend the cheese plate with truffle honey and the roast pig with roast potatoes.
Roast pig was good, but I tell you, the roast potato they serve here as a side... is insane... , I've traveled the world and this was the best roasted potatoes I've ever eaten, it's funny lol but it's true. It's soft but its not like cooked potato soft, you cant cut it with a fork, that's how chewy it was.
It's located underground as well which was very cool.

Characteristic underground venue, located inside a tuff cave, typical of Orvieto.
Refined and comfortable environment.
Typical Umbrian dishes, delicious, all very fresh and handmade.
Impeccable service.
It costs a little but it's really worth it.
I advise.

We had dinner at this place on Friday last week, the day we arrived in Orvieto as tourists. The place already attracted us from the outside and we liked it even more inside: it's really characteristic to dine inside a cave! We tasted their pizzas and the Tartufata is truly excellent, so much so that we ordered it to take away again two nights later. The desserts are also excellent and plentiful! The staff is very kind and friendly. The honest price. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!

The service was impeccable and fast, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was stratospheric, the only flaw was the time for dessert, the ice cream tasted like truffles, I told the girl, but I wasn't considered..... but they still deserve the best.

The grilled meat and roast suckling pig are good. Decent choice of wines. We didn't try the first ones, it will be for next time. Nice and charming atmosphere. The staff attentive and kind.

This hidden gem is actually the very first restaurant that you encounter in the old medieval section of Orvieto as you come off the lift from the Campo Della Fiera parking lot/garage and start heading into town. You could easily miss it if not looking for it!
Built in the ancient Estruscan caves upon which the city of Orvieto was built, this restaurant features the best of local cuisine. Orvieto is known for its wild game (esp. boar) and for its unique pasta variant, ombrichelli, a hand-rolled thick spaghetti-like pasta.
I started with the Tagliatelle al ragu di agnello (tagliatelle pasta with a lamb ragu) that was heavenly, and followed that with the Cinghiale al Bujone, which is cubed pieces of wild boar in s savory sauce, cooked to perfection. Other family members had the Ombrichelli cacio e pepe con rigotta (ombrichelli in a cracked black pepper and cheese sauce) and the Ombrichelli al tartufo (ombrichelli in a black truffle sauce). For the second course my wife ordered the Filetto di manzo al tartufo, which is a thin sliced steak filet drizzled with truffle oil.
It was so good that we went back a second night and tried other dishes!
My recommendation: Order the featured local specialties, in this case the Ombrichelli and the boar or lamb!
Warning: The truffle oil used is STRONG! If you don't absolutely love truffle, it could be overwhelming.
Although they take credit cards, it's FAR better to pay in cash (euros). Credit card merchants charge 2-3 times the processing fees in Italy than they do in America, and this takes a HUGE bite out of the profits of small merchants.

Prenotiamo via mail con largo anticipo per 4 persone e, quando arriviamo, troviamo riservato per noi un tavolo da 2. Ci viene prontamente assegnato un nuovo tavolo consono, ma in una posizione un po' sfavorevole. Il cibo è nella media, tranne il maialino (che in teoria sarebbe la pietanza di punta) dalla cottura completamente sbagliata.
Certo una sala scavata nel tufo non è cosa di tutti i giorni, ma decisamente non basta...
