The building supposedly stems from the first century BC, and the floors are glass so you can see down into the ruins. You might think this is gimmicky, but it's not, and the food is superb. In particular do not miss the home made gelato and sorbet collection. We had a long conversation after dinner with the chef/owner who completed... More

This was a great experience from the get-go. As my wife and I walked into the ancient building we expected a small and old-fashioned place, but to our surprise we found ourselves inside a huge hall perfectly mashing the original ancient interior with new glass and steel design. The atmosphere was great, the food - excellent and the service -... More

Our second was to be served by Marco, who was passionate about the building, the town, and the region. We had our own guided tour of... More

We stumbled upon La Locanda in the middle of Asissi for lunch today. This amazing venue is built atop an excavated ancient Roman villa and the dining room floors are thick glass, allowing you to see the excavated villa below. We had a private tour of the wine cellar then feasted on Umbrian salami and sausages with warm breads. This... More
