WOW! If you want to feel warm and welcomed then you must go visit Emma, at Bar 500. Her…read morerestaurant is in the heart of downtown Cortona and offers inside and outside seating. Her restaurant is quaint, charming, and cozy. Emma will treat you like one of her family. My wife and I found her one night while she was closing and asked if we could get dessert and coffee to go. She could have said "no" very easily but instead welcomed us and prepared two hot coffees with cookies and a tart to go. We liked her so much, we made reservations for dinner the next night before we walked out. OBTW, the coffee and desserts were fresh and tasty. Our dinner and service the next evening was great. Emma and her associate do everything. They seat you, hand out the menu, take your order, cook and serve you the food, and then bus the tables. All along the way, you get to talk with Emma. My wife and I had salads to begin our meal and then pasta dishes with ragu. Our meals were cooked fresh, served hot, and the portions were generous. If you looked around, all of her customers were laughing, smiling, and enjoying themselves. The prices were very reasonable considering her location. Emma has quite a selection of tasty and fresh desserts, especially the cookies with the chocolate strip. There are plenty of options in Cortona but if you want to feel like you are entering into someone's home, go visit Emma. You will not be disappointed. Don't forget to make that reservation because you will need it!

The quality of ingredients was probably the best feature, though still less than remarkable. The cooking was the low point, with the meat platter Main being a real disappointment: overcooked, almost flavourless game, chicken and pork. The service was good, while ambience is again, nothing special. I don't like being a Debbie Downer in amongst the mostly rave reviews, but I feel compelled to comment, for a more balanced consideration.

His wife is the Chef and he works just as hard as his employees! When I asked what his favorites on the menu were he explained that his wife was the chef and everything is excellent. Davide was NOT joking or being kind...this truly was exceptional and literally FOODIE HEAVEN! There were only 4 people running the restaurant- him, his wife, a sous chef and one waiter. This place truly had the best food I've ever had! Period. End of story. The view, the kindness, the complex flavors left both my Italian husband and I completely speechless; which for me is a RARE occasion. He promised a special night and delivered it! I was truly impressed, honored and grateful for his special gem. This is a MUST HAVE. When they didn't know how to answer my question in English we used the translation app on my iPhone. I'll never forget this special night and how kindly we were treated. Think of it like this, what owner uses WhatsApp to send pictures and goes above and beyond to make our visit so spectacular?! He didn't know me or even about his rating on yelp and other platforms. I showed him and he was speechless as well. Kindness translates no matter what language you speak. Truly it was an HONOR to experience this wonderful slice of heaven.
