We discovered this delightful little restaurant while strolling through the streets of Cortona, looking for a pleasant place to have dinner. It's exactly the kind of place we love: small, welcoming, and authentic, run by wonderful, friendly people who make you feel right at home.
The food is truly excellent: we loved every dish we tried, from the bruschetta to the ribollita. My husband especially recommends the Chianina beef tartare with pecorino cheese fondue and truffle, one of the best I've ever had. The prices are also absolutely competitive, especially considering the quality of the dishes.
We had such a great time that we returned the next day. Highly recommended!

During our visit to Cortona, we stumbled upon this somewhat hidden restaurant by chance and were delighted! The atmosphere is very cozy and the food was delicious. Highly recommended :)

A very cute and welcoming place right in the city center.
We had some excellent bruschetta (try the lard ones, they're delicious), a glass of red wine, and some perfectly fried zucchini flowers.
Reasonable prices!
A little off the main drag, the food is made-to-order and doesn't disappoint. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience. Just walking by and decided have a late dinner. Wild boar stew was great.

Authentic family-style cuisine. Delicious, super-authentic dishes, absolutely not pure, worth finding. Very competitive prices.

A small, intimate restaurant with provincial flair. This is mostly a one-man show so the menu is a bit limited but the food is on-point. The menu is all in Italian but with Google, we know how to translate and the waitstaff could probably help you navigate through.
The sglitto di manzo (braised beef cheek) was very rich and flavorful, as was the tartuffo tagliatelle. Tiramisu made for an excellent end to my meal!
To note: If in need of green veggies, it is not always available. This place operates in limited space but trust you will get food indicative of local flavors.

The welcome wasn't exactly cheerful (perhaps because it was Sunday?), but the food made up for it.
Very good bruschetta with pecorino cheese and pears, the ribollita was perfect, and the "sfilato di Chianina" (braised cheek) was out of this world: I've never tasted meat so tender, it melted in your mouth. And then there was the amazing hand-crafted Chianina tartare in a pecorino sauce with generous sprinklings of grated truffle. All washed down with an excellent half bottle of Cortona Syrah.
The kitchen is in the middle of one of the three dining rooms, and the chef is tireless—a real spectacle. The bill? Just over €30 per person.
