Antica Cantina In Orvieto

My favorite place in Orvieto. Traditional cuisine without frills, but with obsessive attention to the excellence of the ingredients. A genuine passion for a cuisine that brings happiness.

Finally, a place where you can rediscover the pleasure of dining. Not only because of the care and quality with which the various courses are served, but above all because they're served with plenty of time and tranquility to savor them. The owner is pleasant and attentive, describing the various dishes.

We came in for dinner on a cold, rainy night in October 2024. It was my favourite meal of our two+ week trip to Italy. I had the pork shank - divine. I still think about it from time to time two years later. Pear salad - who knew? We also had the umbrichelli - perfect. Be patient, it's worth the wait.

We dined at this restaurant while passing through Orvieto, and it fully met our expectations. We were looking for gluten-free options, and we found almost every dish available. The bruschetta with lardo, cream of cannellini beans, and rosemary is a must-try. The first courses were excellent, and we especially liked the ricotta and chocolate quiche. The staff was top-notch.

The best pasta we ate in all of Italy was the spaghetti with pesto at this restaurant.

Perfect experience! Quality food, authentic flavors! With every bite, an Umbrian valley materializes before you! Impeccable service! Extremely attentive to gluten-free options, entirely gluten-free menu with homemade pasta and bread. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful meal here and received very friendly service. The food and ingredients were of very high quality, and the house wine was also delicious.

We just ate at this delightful little restaurant. We had a wonderful meal! They have a wide variety of gluten-free options! I had a plate of gluten-free ombrichelli alla norcina and the ricotta and chocolate cake, as well as their homemade gluten-free bread, served warm! Everything was absolutely delicious!

We went for lunch, and I must say it was one of the most pleasant experiences I've had in recent memory. The restaurant has a casual yet meticulously curated style: every detail is tastefully considered. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined without being pretentious. The service was excellent. Those who looked after us showed rare calm and professionalism: attentive but never invasive, present at the right time, and with a genuine smile combined with a kindness that truly makes the difference. As for the food, it was simply excellent. High-quality ingredients, clean and distinctive flavors, and meticulous attention to detail in every dish. The gluten-free menu was particularly appreciated: it wasn't an "adapted version," but a preparation conceived and executed with the same care and attention to detail as the other dishes. There was no compromise on flavor. In short, a restaurant that manages to combine informality, attention to detail, quality ingredients, and truly calm and competent service. We'll definitely be back, and we're happy to recommend it to anyone looking for a place to eat well in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere just steps from the Duomo. 5 well-deserved stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
