We worked on the maxim, 'Trust that your legs will take you where you need to go.' And most of the time it worked. Tonight we went back to the same restaurant, Osteria Pozzo della Mensa, (Via del Pozzo Mensa, 11/b) which is fast becoming our favourite eating place in Assisi. The chef is Claudio Bellinzani, who has worked in... More

We were served on the roofterrace which was empty (should have been a warning...) and ordered taglitatelle with truffels (twice) and chicken with artichoc meatballs and t-bonesteak. The tagliatelle was totally tasteless, the chicken looked old en was overcooked, the meatballs with (tinned) carrots were terribly salt and the t-bonesteak had lots of fat. We complained to the waiter about... More

The restaurant was empty, the world outside hot and we fancied a window seat but the waitress was reluctant because we were only two and the table was for four. She scowled and then relented. We expected a rush but we dined alone. The food was O.K., the service a bit hit and miss bearing in mind there wasn't a... More

We went to this place as we were too hungry to look for anything else. Cool and relaxed atmosphere, very quites on sunday afternoon, We ordered a plate of pasta with tomatoes and local bacon, penne with meat ragou and a stew, few glasses of red wine. Overall a good place for a inexpensive lunch in Assisi.

Went with friends after a local suggested it--after the meal we were all sure we must have not heard correctly Actually one of the worst meals all of us have ever eaten in Italy--so, so bad--such a huge disappointment.

Went for Easter dinner--meat was very overcooked & over-spiced. Mixed salad was unimaginative. Was recommended by a former employee, but we will not return during our month in Assisi.

Tucked away on a quiet side street, just a bit uphill from the main streets of Assisi, is this wonderful gem of simple but perfect food. Nothing here is fussy or pretentious - you get to watch your cheeses being cut from the wheels moments before they are brought to your table, but oh, what cheeses! My husband had the... More

We had an incredible meal of Torta alla Testa [filled with wild greens and sausage] followed by the best porcini ravioli with tartufo [truffles]. The owner [Claudio] was gracious and the food was outstanding. The service was polite and allowed for a casual and enjoyable meal. The following day we returned again for another great meal. It is just off... More
