It's difficult for us to find a restaurant we'd return to. This restaurant is beautiful and renovated with natural woods and stones. They recently opened in July. I just ate the most delicious and delicately prepared eggplant and my husband had pasta with scampi and beet greens. Everything about this restaurant was top shelf, the service, the food, the ambiance, and location! Located right on the square!

It's very close to the main piazza in Todi and we were lucky enough to stumble in right as they opened. We were given a lovely patio table overlooking some rolling hills a beyond picturesque view of the Italian countryside. To start, we shared the smoked salmon carpaccio (served on a bed of lettuce with with balsamic vinegar and grana). I never expected the smoked salmon to be so good in Italy. I just don't tie the two together in my mind! Honestly though, everywhere we ate salmon it was perfect. Recommended. For my main I IMMENSELY enjoyed the stewed duck with lentils. Think cassoulet-style duck, cooked bone-in, in a thick savory lentil broth. It was made even tastier with the addition of the rosemary roasted-potatoes the server recommended as the side. What a comforting and oh-so-filling dish! I could maybe eat this for every meal for the rest of my life. Maybe. Bottom line, only in Italy can you just be so lucky as to stumble into a Michelin-starred restaurant with views like these. We were super fortunate and so pleasantly surprised!

My favorite dish was the tonnaroli pasta with sausage, red onion cooked so long it liquefied, and a sagrantino wine reduction. The flavors were intense, original and memorable. I have lived in Italy and am 100% Italian so my palate is demanding - and it was one of the best plates of pasta I've ever eaten. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and staff was attentive and professional.

The atmosphere is intimate and cosy making-up for the lack of natural light (though there are some tables in the narrow pedestrian street outside) The welcome and service were cordial and the food fresh, imaginative and somewhat more refined than the staple Umbrian farmhouse fare, without being fussy, and served in ample quantities. We paid €20/head for a light lunch of 2 courses with wine and coffee (in Summer 2013), which we thought was reasonable. My only reservation; the patate ripassate seemed to have been clumsily fried to a crisp, rather than sautéed. Most of the other guests seemed like Italian locals, which is a big plus in a town so heavily populated by tourists, which makes eating here feel a bit more special.
