Sam had a great veloute soup with chickory on the side, and I enjoyed my grilled slice of cheese as well as delicious roasted lamb chops. Nafisa's tagliatteli with truffles was a special treat, and Nancy's ravioli stuffed with cheese and turnip greens was especially good. Soraya enjoyed her rigatoni carbonara; I had a taste as the end and could confirm its quality. I did not try Abey's gnocchi with four cheeses but he and Soraya have demanded that their parents pick up gnocchi to bring home to Zanzibar -- they have added a new dish to their favorites. Panna cotta for dessert was a nice finish It was a bit of a bummer to be charged extra for two small pours of olive oil to eat with our bread. But that is my only criticism of the meal

We did. And she was right! We went back twice and I ordered the Carbonara twice. It was the highlight of our trip! In addition to the food making us happy, the restaurant made us happy. It is on a nondescript street, down a few steps into a delightful small and cozy cave-room. You really need a reservation to be guaranteed a table. Peeking out from the small kitchen window is the cook/wife/owner and greeting us and taking our order was the husband/owner. They are a team that really cares about the service and doing simple Italian food right! And the house wine was really good!

We arrived a little later for lunch without a reservation and we were told the wait would be about 20 minutes. We were seated in 10 minutes and the wait staff was very helpful keeping us out of the sun during one of the hottest days of the summer. For appetizers we enjoyed a fresh caprese salad, a cheese board and mixed bruschetta plate. All of these were well-prepared, fresh and a great way to start the meal. Continuing with our plan to eat local specialties, we got two dishes with Umbricelli, a local fresh pasta, one with a sauce of roasted tomatoes and the other with tomatoes and garlic. Our other dinner guest had cinghiale prepared alla cacciatore. This was our first time having slow roasted wild boar, and it will not be the last. We had other plans for dessert, so we will have to wait until we return to Orvieto to try theirs and I am certain that it will be fantastic.

Communication was a tad difficult as our Italian isn't great, but the staff (maybe owners?) really try their best to communicate with you. They were so kind. Now on to the good stuff- the food! We had the asparagus and pecorino appetizer and it was to die for. I had the fava bean pasta and my husband had the wild boar ragu. Both were exceptional. House white Orvieto wine was really delicious. We had no room for dessert. It was one of the best meals of this trip to Italy, and if ever in the area again we will make a point to eat here again.

The little place has a lovely stone and vine patio that is off the street and quiet enough to talk, warm enough to stay awhile. I ordered the pasta that comes with mushrooms and bacon. I could almost hear the homemade pasta and sauces being created steps away from the table. My wife and I both agreed this was the best pasta we had in all of Italy. The flavor was perfect, something about the bacon mixed in just took it over the edge. Highly recommend. Finished the night off with their Tiramisu... A perfect end to a perfect trip.
