We knew this would be good because the police station was across the street and they were all eating lunch there! Sure enough, it was fantastic. The local Sangiovese wine was incredible and the pasta with fresh porcini mushrooms was delectable. More

My wife and I and our two best friends spent 4 days in Cortona. This restaurant was recommended by the owners of the Villa we stayed in (900 year old farm house!). It was absolutely outstanding. We ate here twice, including for my wife's birthday. The owner is a fine young lady who goes out of her way to make... More

Excellent little restaurant up the hill from the centre of Cortona. Family run and very busy with a buzzy atmosphere and great food. Locals eat here too so best to book. Our favourite restaurant in Cortona More

We had both lunch and dinner here during our stay in Cortona. The pastas here are excellent. One in particular that stood out was the percorino ravioli. My husband is still talking about that one! We tried to have dinner here our first day in town and it was packed with locals. We were able to have lunch here the... More

WONDERFUL food. A family-owned restaurant offering homecooked meals. A place the locals eat including the parish priest and la locale polizia. The ambiance is charming, you'll feel you're dinning with friends. Be sure to try the marinated bistecca...delizioso! More

Randomly turned up for lunch without a reservation. Were promptly seated in a great spot and immediately noticed the Police and a Priest from the local church having lunch here (separately)! It was humming with locals coming in, and it's easy to see why: Awesome food, great wine, and excellent prices! We had a 3 course lunch for 2, with... More

We completely agree with one of the previous reviewers about the quality of service in this restaurant. We arrived on a busy night which should be good for a restaurant not a burden. When we stepped in the owner was more disappointed than happy to see new arrivals. It took great convincing and effort on our part to make a... More

Having spent much time in Italy over the last 5 years I know that if you eat where the local police eat then you wont be disappointed...and we were not. the place was buzzing with activity at lunch time which also a good sign. Not many non italians either. Ask for the lunch menu. For 12 Euro you get a... More
