Down slippery steps in the rain, but worth the risk!…read more We did have reservations which meant we had deuce in the corner of the room where we could people watch. They started us off with a complimentary Prosecco and a little portion of bean soup. So welcoming! My partner ordered the Ravioli with fresh shaved truffles and I tried their potato gnocchi with fabulous cherry tomatoes. It may be my favorite meal in four weeks of traveling around Italy. Claudio, the chef came by and we talked about the restaurant business and he even recommended a Mexican restaurant in Palm Desert which we will try. Finished with a special concoction of cocoa powder milk and two other ingredients that made for a nice digestivo. You can sit outside if you prefer

The Torta al Testo is an ancient Umbrian recipe: a focaccia mixed and cooked on a cast iron plate, then filled with the best of the local butcher's pork products. I opted for the Torta Al Testo pancetta, formaggio e salsa al tartufo. This was amazing. The warm bread with the meat and cheese inside paired so well with the truffles. I was in heaven.

Fast forward to 2009, this restaurant was the location where my wife and I shared with our group of friends that we had just gotten engaged in Assisi! It holds a special place in my heart for those reasons, but also because of the kind owners and the delicious food! Since taking over I Monaci in 2020, Fabio and Chiara have infused the restaurant with their own unique magic, elevating the dining experience with exquisite, Michelin-star-worthy creations while preserving the heart of classic Italian cuisine. Chiara's culinary artistry shines through in every dish, particularly her unforgettable Norcina pasta, a dish typical in the region. This dish literally moved my wife to tears upon her first taste. Fabio, with his warm personality and infectious laughter, expertly navigates the pizza oven and dining room, creating a truly memorable experience for all as he shares about the restaurant or charmingly pokes fun at the diners! Every pasta and pizza are bursting with flavor and the presentation is beautiful! While I'm traveling, sometimes I crave a burger after lots of amazing pasta and pizza. It's pretty difficult to find a good hamburger in Italy. Well, this is your place for an amazing burger! And I haven't even mentioned their magnificent desserts! OH MY, you have to go right now!

Our meal at I'm Bacio tonight was incredibly mediocre…read more The ambiance and service was lovely. It's hard to beat eating on the main piazza in Perugia. But when it comes to the food, we were deeply underwhelmed. We ordered the "Incredible Barbecue for Two," a huge platter of grilled pork chops, chicken breast, sausages, and beef filet. Everything, and I mean every cut and piece was overcooked, grilled to death, dry, and unseasoned. If I were the chef at Il Bacio, I'd slap my Grill Man for destroying fine meat like that! "Incredible" as in not credible? Yes! Not enjoyable in the least! My wife did enjoy her sweet and sour salad. The fried squash blossoms were all breading no flavor. And the roast potatoes were serviceable. But it's hard to screw up a potato. Prices overall are reasonable for the area. But for the meal we just had...I fell like we overpayed for mediocrity.

Castel Girardi was the best restaurant we found during our weeklong stay in Cortona, and the only…read morerestaurant we visited twice. We had good to great experiences in all six restaurants we tried in the Cortona area, but we thought Castel Girardi was best for both food and venue. The steak with truffle sauce was one of the most memorable plates I've ever been served. Pastas and simple dishes such as Tuscan beans and Caprese salads were executed to perfection. The wine list presented outstanding value. The venue cannot be beat with a pleasant loggia and views of Lake Trasimeno beyond the Esse Valley. It is a multi-generational, family-run restaurant and they are very flexible and accommodating. As a bonus, they are open all afternoon, while all the other restaurants are closed from 2:00pm into the evening. We can't understand why Castel Girardi isn't higher rated on the dining websites. We place it #1.

That being said, I would love to come back and order off the menu to see how it is. The atmosphere here is worth the visit alone! Many of these restaurants, shops and hotels are in ancient buildings that are built on top of even older structures. The smart business people of Assisi have figured out any different ways to display these ruins beneath their businesses. This restaurant owner created a see through floor to show off the historic excavation! Wow! So interesting and fun!
