Il Labirinto di Adriano In Orvieto

Pleasant surprise the caves of the labyrinth right under the restaurant, perfectly intact and richly decorated!

Very friendly and attentive service, delicious Umbrian main courses, very imaginative antipasti, the highlight is of course the labyrinth at the end of the meal but even without it the somewhat remote restaurant is preferable to the usual tourist spots.

Lovely food friendly staff and after dinner they let you roam the amazing labyrinth under the building. Well worth a visit

Delightful restaurant with authentic food and attentive service. This was our first visit to Orvieto and we weren't disappointed. The opportunity to explore the labyrinth was fascinating too. Would highly recommend a visit.

Excellent food, genuine, cooked as “once upon a time”. Elegant in simplicity. Like at “grandma’s” house. Top truffle!!!!!

Fabulous restaurant away from the main street and crowds. If you eat here you get to visit the absolutely amazing Labrinth of caves underneath that seems to go on forever, for free.

Exceptional restaurant!! My wife and I chose this restaurant for lunch, attracted by the many positive reviews, and we were not wrong. The place is small and intimate but very well decorated. The courtesy, kindness and friendliness of the staff are exceptional! The dishes are of a unique quality, everything cooked to perfection. At the end of the excellent meal, a tour of the underlying Labyrinth is offered, a very interesting archaeological site.

Orvieto offers enchanting views and surprising underground tunnels. One of these is Hadrian's Labyrinth. It is not about the emperor Hadrian, but about a well-known pastry chef from Orvieto. Why does this historic place bear his name? Because the findings, and the underground path, are on his property. In Orvieto, this should not surprise you, it is a journey back in time, the underground was an integral part of life, starting with the fundamental search for precious water. This was very clear to the Etruscans... So to visit this labyrinth, go into the restaurant and simply ask to visit the labyrinth. If you do not have a sweater, given the cooler temperatures in the cellar and beyond, don't worry. The owners have thought of providing warm piles to rest on your shoulders. If you happen to be there at lunchtime, you can stop to taste the excellent cuisine. The aromas were very inviting, unfortunately we were leaving.

Abbiamo scelto questo locale prima per le recensioni sulla cucina e poi per quello che era scritto sulla visita del labirinto. Siamo stati bene sia come sevizio, cameriere simpaticissimo, sia come qualità dei piatti. Poi alla fine c'è la visita in autonomia del labirinto sotterraneo, anche indicato sulla carta di Orvieto. Davvero interessante.

Pranzo nel centro storico di Orvieto, in un locale davvero particolare: al termine del pasto è possibile visitare gli affascinanti sotterranei, dove si trovano grotte con fossili e reperti archeologici. Il menù propone una buona varietà di antipasti tipici. Noi abbiamo assaggiato l’uovo al tartufo, davvero buono, e la mortadella grigliata, gustosa e servita con focaccia. Per la portata principale scelgo gli umbrichelli con ragù bianco di cinghiale, mentre gli altri commensali optano per tagliatelle con ragù bianco di coniglio, olive taggiasche e parmigiano. Entrambe le paste si presentano in maniera semplice: il cinghiale ha un sapore piuttosto delicato, mentre il ragù di coniglio risulta un po’ asciutto. Concludiamo con una piccola cheesecake al mango, anche se il gusto ricordava più il caramello che il mango. Il conto finale è risultato sopra la media e, nel complesso, il mio giudizio è sufficiente.
