This restaurant is around the corner from where I am staying. I had noticed it on my morning walk and thought it looked charming. After a long day I thought I would treat myself to dinner. I am so pleased that I did. The welcome...was warm, the setting beautiful, the service was great and the food terrific. The room filled whilst I was there, and the waiter did not miss a person. I will definitely return.More

Delightful and upscale dining experience in a beautiful atmosphere right across from the teatro. Visited in October for the new fall menu, the first to try it, no disappointment. Impeccable service, especially since the new menu was only in Italian and the wonderful waiter had...to explain the food terms in English! Very comfortable atmosphere, world definitely return.More

People in and around Cortona recommend this Osteria.Sadly the staff really could not have performed more poorly in regard to either the service or fare quality. My stuffed squash blossoms were cool and soggy bland and swimming in a bitter sauce of herbs. The fillet...with foie gras cold and not seasoned. I did have some nice roasted rosemary potatoes and carbonara on the side. The wine recommendation was also nice. Of the eight persons served in our party, none left pleased or satisfied. I find it difficult to believe that this establishment has received a Michelin Star. Maybe they had an off night; but I cannot give any other than a poor but deserved review.More

We ate tagliolini with duck breast and ravioli with walnut pesto and pear. Both dishes were delicious, a good serving size for lunch, and served promptly. The restaurant has a comfortable & welcoming ambience. The staff is friendly and give good advice on food and...wine choices.More

Wanted to love this place but it was horrible. The server talked to us a total of two times. The food was COLD. I told the server (which we don’t normally do) and he did not care, just said the reason was because it was...windy. Don’t know why or how a Michelin star was given to this place.More

Said we offended other tables and gave us terrible service! We asked the other tables if we offended them and the said no. Ridiculous claims and made us VERY uncomfortable. Truly have no idea what we did wrong. Very unprofessional. AMERICANS BEWARE

Absolutely horrible experience. Do not waste your time here. We ordered wine and an appetizer; the appetizer was not delivered. After we received the primi piatti (first course) we realized no one was checking on us anymore, and we never got our appetizer. When we...asked about this, they told us we had never placed the order. They eventually brought it with the secondi piatti (second course), but did not follow up with us for anything. They never asked if we needed more water, wine, or checked back on us. All the staff were avoiding eye contact with us. We had to flag them down to order more wine. We were feeling so uncomfortable with how they were treating us that we wanted to leave. Even still we could not get someone to bring us the check. Finally we asked the staff if we did anything to offend them, and everyone said no. Will not recommend or be back.More

Beautiful restaurant in Cortona. We sat in an elegant room with A/C. Dinner was exceptional. Amazing selection of antipasto. Pasta was very fine - I had tartufo with mine and it was great. Tagliata was my main course and it was tender and beautifully cooked....My dessert was a very special take on tiramisu. Great service by professional courteous and attentive staff. The delightful owner keeps it all running smoothly. We accompanied this outstanding meal with a Syrah from Cortona recommended by the owner; it was perfect and mid-range in price. This was a gourmet experience and the tab was extremely reasonable for what we had. An unforgettable experience to treasure.More

A charming restaurant in the wonderful Cortona. You will love everything of this place. The portions are not very generous and prices are quite high but it's worth it.
