02/11/2025: We really enjoyed Diego's cuisine because the quality and ingredients were excellent, such as the homemade pasta. I had the strangozzi alla norcina and I have to say I really enjoyed it! I would have preferred the tagliata to be more generous (but that's not a criticism, just my personal taste).
The atmosphere is refined and intimate, and Diego's hospitality and professionalism make you feel at home.
The chef personally took care of us guests, moving from table to table, creating a very personal, down-to-earth relationship.
I recommend this restaurant if you want to try authentic, homemade, and refined dishes and have a different experience.
01/11/2025: Small restaurant in the village of Mantignana. A little tricky to find on a village street. The owner welcomes us with a warm handshake. The menu is regional, with a strong focus on the sourcing of the ingredients. The wine list is interesting, with a good selection of Umbrian wineries, and prices are reasonable. We had a good time; the atmosphere is great, the customer service is attentive, and the atmosphere is comfortable. Perhaps the only flaw I find is the prices, which are a bit higher than usual, with inexplicable spikes (a charcuterie board costs €29), but overall, the entire menu is very high-quality for the quality of the dishes.
Perhaps it reflects the tourist clientele, which tempts the restaurant owner, especially in terms of prices.
Wild boar stew, well-spiced and with a pleasantly sweet note. Good, but perhaps a little too disjointed. If you ask me: “But in the end, would you recommend the restaurant?”, I answer affirmatively, for the context, for the generally high quality of the offerings, but I also humbly suggest perhaps a rethink on the prices which are indeed a little too much.
