We sat in the back of the restaurant in an…read morearea that serves as a garden, but in winter it was entirely enclosed by glass and heated, with various guests taking turns turning the heat up or down for their respective comfort. Service was very friendly and attentive without being cloying. Reservations needed -- we had reserved the day before, and several would-be diners were turned away. The food menu was quite abbreviated but good -- the wine list was very long. The children had pasta with either red sauce (not on the menu) or oil and cheese. My spouse had roast lamb ribs, which came with french fry wedges the lamb was great). But the rest of the adults got a tad adventurous, having respectively duck breast, venison (advertised as "deer" on the English menu) and pigeon. My pigeon came in three separate parts -- breast, wings and filet tartare of something (I did not understand the explanation of what body part). Delicious (but note that it was hard to get the meat medium well - for this place, what most Americans would call rare came out as "medium." Nafisa asked for extra cooking for her duck breast and it came back right) It was late but we lingered for dessert: two of us had zuppa inglese and one creme brulee. Overall a good eating experience FWIW this was the most expensive meal we have had in Italy the past three weeks. But worth it!

Unique wall fixtures. Good prices. If I were to stay in Spello again I would surely check this out! And make sure to check out their patio - what a lovely view - even at night.

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

It was accompanied by a perfect red, recommended by Stefano, the owner. I also had an exquisite dish of Alici I cannot even describe. But it was my overall experience in this charming family-owned restaurant that made my meal memorable, and made me wish I were staying longer. When you are dining alone, one never knows what to expect. I was warmly treated and my requests for various accommodations were enthusiastically met. The menu offers were more interesting than the usual choices you expect to see, and service could not have been better, thanks to Yuliya and other attentive staff.

I really want to go back tonight but am not here for long and feel the need to try other places and on the other hand I know how much I like Masolino so why risk not doing what I know I love ?

They also have a shop next door where you can buy some of the amazing olive oil that they have on the tables. (There were a few different ones to try when we came.)
