Il Malandrino Bistrot In Orvieto

This place is fantastic. Don't miss it if you can help it. The staff was so friendly and thoughtful. The food was all amazing, the pasta, the wine, the desserts. All of it. Not a single bad thing on the menu. The desserts are not too sweet, sharable, and so inventive. I was deciding between two desserts, went with one, and when they brought it out the chef had prepared a small portion of the other dessert (on the house) just so I could try it! How awesome! This place is a gem!

This was a great meal, I had polenta bosciale and my wife had truffle pasta. It was so good we also had dessert. Really great quality for the price, and service was very good as well. Definitely would come back!

We've been coming here frequently in recent months for the wide selection, which caters to the whole family, including some seafood dishes. The fried dishes are noteworthy, with a focus on artichokes, calamari, shrimp, and more. The generous tartare with truffles is a special mention. The seasonal off-menu options are also delightful, as are a few vegetarian options.

Born and raised in Orvieto, for me, this is the best restaurant in the city, unbeatable in every way! The menu is refined, original, and often uses unique ingredients /combinations. The staff is extremely kind, never intrusive but always available, and treats each customer with the utmost care. The value for money is excellent, with truly competitive prices for the quality and deliciousness of the food offered. Two years ago, my family and I started our tradition of going there on Christmas Day too! (We love it so much!) I absolutely recommend trying the truffle tartare with egg yolk, the tortelli with truffle, or the vegetable lasagna as a vegetarian option, and the chocolate mousse with salted caramel!!! Wow wow wow I can't wait to go back already ❤️

Excellent and meticulously prepared dishes, the staff are very friendly and attentive to detail, and the background music is very pleasant. If you're in the area, don't miss it!

Outstanding jewel in Orvieto. The food was delicious, there was a moment me and my husband went silent because the food was soooo good. Everything tasted so perfect, you don't want it to end! The cherry on top was Sicilian cannoli in passion fruit sauce. What a treat! And the service was very friendly, fast and the waiters were very knolageble and welcoming. Will definitely return.

Superb food quality and serving/plating, with good value for money. The truffle over my hand-rolls pasta was generous and as large as baby potato chips, and the fritte seafood is a must-have starter; we loved the included dark sauce and asked for mayonnaise to go with it. We ended with a dessert each (Crème Brûlée, Tiramisu, Chocolate Mousse), which was also splendid and without fault.

Many compliments to the entire staff! We had dinner and lunch: you should have time to try their entire menu. Wonderful. Our poodle was even with us, and he was treated like a child. If you're passing through... try it and believe it. But make sure you book!

Service here was incredible, and the truffle pasta was so good. I had it gluten free and they were so nice with their understanding. We ordered one dessert but they sweetly split it into two plates so he could have the cookie crumbs and I could avoid. Everyone in there seemed happy and enjoying their time.

Outstanding! We loved our experience—staff, food and wine! The truffles (see pic) on our pasta—molto bene! We’ll be back soon!
