I recommend parking on the opposite side of the hill and climbing up and over, through the ancient walls and past the church...don't worry there are tons of escalators...however you will have a steep walk up and down once you get on the side with the restaurant but this is still the ideal parking....now the food: this is top notch Tuscan cooking. I had the pici with the boar sauce, my daughter had the ravioli, and my wife had the pappardelle with mushroom sauce. All were amazing. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. And the wine is delicious

The atmosphere is lively, and the food so inexpensive and delicious. Great portions, we dined twice. Oldest restaurant in town, not to be missed!

Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed when I was in Assisi but their adjoining "Bar" was open and was packed.

Everything is fresh and delicious. I will go back!!!

Nothing classy, but nice, cozy and very enjoyable. They have been around for decades and have had the same menu ever since they first opened in the 60s. They will not give you a paper menu, but don't worry and trust what they serve you. I grew up eating here and have brought every tourist I know here. My suggestion is to get: antipasto (for everybody), tris di primi (4 people=2 servings is enough) and grigliata mista. It will be a lot of food but, hands down, the best Tuscan food you can experience! Make sure to call in advance to make a reservation, the place is always packed. And if you are going in the summer, make sure you ask for a table outside because the view from the terrace is stunning. La Capannaccia will give you the ultimate Tuscan eating experience! A to-go place!

Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.

A beautiful restaurant in a beautiful town. Sorry I only took photos of the souffle.
