Le Grotte del Funaro In Orvieto

All very good with low costs and excellent value for money

Orvieto is a small town built on tuff. There are more than 1,000 caves here, which in ancient times were used as olive oil factories for lamps, tombs, and warehouses. Nowadays, there are many restaurants that make use of this cave. This is one of them, and it gives off a nice cave atmosphere. The specialty of this city is pasta called umbrichetta🍝 A chewy, thick pasta that resembles udon noodles made by mixing flour with water. You can't see it very often in other cities, so please give it a try.

5/11/24 It was me and my wife Suggestive place inside an intimate and particular cave Excellent and plentiful dishes Friendly staff Everything perfect Valerio

We loved everything about this excellent restaurant. Outstanding service in a beautiful setting underground. Our pasta was some of the best we’ve had in Italy. Superb wine list. Pity we couldn’t try some of these!

Lugar divertido para cenar en una "cueva". Prepárate para muchos pasos para llegar al restaurante. Definitivamente vale la pena. El ambiente era genial, y el personal era muy agradable. Mi marido tenía el plato de parrilla mixto. La salchicha era increíble. Todas las carnes estaban sabrosas, pero el jabalí era un poco duro. No estoy seguro si fue la forma en que se cocinó o simplemente el corte. Tenía el cochinillo, que es una especialidad del restaurante. Esperaba un trozo de cerdo como el de servir en España y me complació recibir un plato con unas rodajas. Era tan tierno. Creo que tenía un poco de salvia enrollada en ella que añadió un maravilloso sabor herby. Las patatas asadas también eran geniales. También tenemos guarniciones de verduras a la parrilla y pollo. Recomiendo encarecidamente la pollería. Se saltea con aceite de oliva, ajo y un toque de pimientos picantes de la zona. Los pimientos pequeños llevan una patada, así que prepárate si consigues un trozo. El resto del pollo solo tiene una especia suave, pero es delicioso. No tienen un vino de la casa, pero tienen una carta de vinos con una gran variedad o vinos a precios razonables. Vimos el vino que conseguimos en una tienda de vinos y había muy poco margen que era agradable de ver. Los servidores eran encantadores y atentos. Sin duda volvería a probar un poco de pasta.

It's like having lunch in a cave, beautiful room, choice paid off.... Cristian Sabrina from Forlì

Excellent, well-prepared typical dishes in a unique setting

The atmosphere is amazing. Although it feels like a cave made of earth and stone, it is not cold and the temperature is maintained at around 18 degrees, and the feeling of eating while looking at the magnificent view is the best. However, only 1-2 tables have a great view.

Had our lunch here,superb tasting, vegetables soup is wholesome, the chicken dish was very well seasoned and the chocolate mousse was exceptionally tasty. Overall the waiters are good and accommodate to our request. Ambience is quite nice and historic.

Bellissimo locale con buon servizio....peccato che la qualità dei piatti non sia all'altezza del bel locale!!!! Non erano malvagi ma mi aspettavo di più!!!
