Dining here is like eating in the home of a gracious and entertaining host. Filippo, the owner and self-avowed "matto" (madman), told us in detail about the local ingredients that went into his mama's fantastic cooking (I can still almost taste the first course of chickpeas bathed in an ethereal rosemary broth), and dispensed advice about places we should visit...

As soon as you enter this charming restaurant you feel a sense of genuine family friendliness. The food is excellent, fresh, whatever is in season and whatever Mamma has in her kitchen. No menu, but course after course of home cooked local Umbrian food to die for pours out of the kitchen. Felipe the son is the perfect host, a... More

My husband and I visited Osteria del matto 7 years ago on honeymoon and last week we returned to Spoleto to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday. We made our way straight to Osteria del Matto as soon as we had settled in to the hotel and we're taken back how nothing in 7 years had changed! The restaurant is still... More

it has to be one of the best experiences of eating out, if not the best, having a meal at this restaurant. Proper Italian food made by nonna Santina. Whoever has the joy of having a nonna knows what kind of food and atmosphere one can expect at osteria del matto - food delivered with real passion, perfect combination of... More

This unique restaurant has no menu. Whatever mama is cooking in the kitchen is what you get. Always delicious! Mama's son, Felipe, is a great host and a true entertainer. We all applauded mama after the dinner was over at the end of the night. A great experience!

Remarkable food in an eclectically designed and what appears to be a family run restaurant. Food was a degustation menu of local specialities and got the taste buds buzzing. Despite the great food more wait staff were needed the night we went which mafe things a bit frustrating. Some people got two or three more items than we did so... More

We felt as if we had been invited to dine as part of the family rather than as paying guests. Mama came from the kitchen to welcome us and to turn up the heating because she decided we were cold. Mama's son is the main man and took the responsibility of looking after us very seriously. There is no menu,... More

Translated literally as the hostelry of the madman this fun dining experience is not to be missed. It has all the surrealism of Fawlty Towers but with great food. The choice is take it or leave it as there is no menu and everything is a mystery until it appears in front of you which just adds to the enjoyment... More
