Le Grotte del Funaro In Orvieto

Spectacular and evocative location, quiet and refined atmosphere. We ate excellent crostini for appetizers, a delicious Florentine steak, and drank excellent wine. Recommended!

Fabulous... we ate very well in a wonderful place

From the moment I called to book, I knew it would be a positive experience... But when we walked in, my feelings were confirmed! The exquisite aroma of traditional cuisine wafted from outside the door, and the smile of the lady who welcomed us was a special start! The food was delicious, typical local cuisine with quality products and special olive oil! Everything was beautiful. Impeccable smiles, welcome, and service! We'll be back 100 times!!!! Thank you.

I must say they deserve five stars because, despite the place being very large—a veritable underground cave—it retains its character and unique features, the waiters are attentive and helpful, and the service is fast and attentive. The food, despite its large seating capacity, is of excellent quality, even though it's not plated in a sophisticated way, but then again, you wouldn't expect that for the type of cuisine and location. A very unique atmosphere.

The New Year's Eve dinner was poor, considering the price. The dishes were sweet-based, and the food was lukewarm, seemingly gourmet but tasteless. We went to watch the fireworks outside the door; on our way back, they had taken away the bottles of wine and prosecco.

We went for lunch (we have two dogs who were very well looked after). The waiters, Maria and Benedetto, were extremely helpful and kind; they recommended dishes and answered all our questions about the preparation. Always with a smile and attentiveness. The atmosphere was very refined and welcoming, the food was excellent, with delicious and sophisticated combinations and generous portions, from appetizer to dessert. I highly recommend it! Thank you so much!

Let's start by saying that it's a little difficult to contact them to make a reservation, but once you enter, you find yourself in a beautiful underground setting. Once we were settled and seated, we ordered our dishes, which arrived promptly. A fantastic charcuterie board accompanied by a heavenly truffle honey. Exceptional truffle ombrichelli. Excellent suckling pig, tender and fragrant with aromatic herbs. The only downside was the rib eye... Excellent cut and excellent ingredients, but overcooked. Served on a red-hot stone, it lost all its juices as it continued to cook, making it a bit tough... a real shame. The price was right. Overall, however, a very positive review; definitely worth a try.

Recommended by friends from Orvieto, we had lunch in this beautiful, welcoming, and relaxing location. The staff were friendly and professional, and the service was fairly quick. But let's get to the point: dishes featuring traditional Umbrian ingredients, such as wild boar and black truffle, and fresh, high-quality cheeses served with local honey. The first course with pistachio and Baffo cream was delicious; the beef fillet with Orvieto black truffle cream was superb. Prices are fairly reasonable: €10-12 for appetizers, €12 for first courses; and €25-28 for high-quality beef fillets. We'll be back with pleasure!

Sono andato diverse volte ed è sempre una certezza....servizio veloce e professionale e sui vuoi scambiare due battute non ci sono problemi...il cibo be vhe dire andate e provate

Mi encantador y yo disfrutamos del almuerzo aquí con la familia y amigos en 2005 y tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa. IT fue con cierta inquietud que devolvimos una partitura más tarde, ya que NO teníamos ningún deseo de disminuir la memoria. IT trae una gran alegría informar que Le Grotte del Funaro no ha perdido nada de su magia. Habíamos enviado un correo electrónico por adelantado para reservar una mesa y estábamos encantados de estar sentados junto a la ventana. Una vista de las ondulantes colinas de Umbría es un glorioso anexo a los procedimientos. Empezamos con la deliciosa panzanella fresca antes de pasar a la lubina y el cochinillo con patatas asadas. Ambos fueron un testimonio de la facilidad con la que las ciudades Italianas superiores de las colinas producen increíble plato tras plato increíble. Lavada con una botella local de Orvieto rossi esta fue otra comida para recordar. ¡Volveremos en 2045!
