Mezza Luna In Orvieto

Small but nice place. The owner is very kind, accommodating and very available to customer requests. The food is really good, and the portions are plentiful. A really nice discovery in the heart of the wonderful Orvieto.

You know when people say completely unoriginal things about the life-changing meal they had in Italy blahblahblah, yeah well this is the place and the carbonara is the meal. You may want to fast for a month before you order it because it is bigger than you. Honestly. It's enormous and so good. I'm crying now. As you're sitting in this little cave of a restaurant you can see a tiny lady through the kitchen window making it in the back. The Chef. Sometimes she comes out to chat with the server while she's supposed to be cooking, and this is fine, it's all part of the recipe. The service is lovely too btw. The lighting is flourescent and unflattering but you're not here to look good, you're here to have your life changed. And change comes through the carbonara. Amen.

Carbonara of life! The best food I had in Italy! It’s savory, hearty, and full of flavor! Other than carbonara, other beef dishes and ravioli were delicious.. Even the dessert was absolutely delicious! The chef is really friendly and professional👍 I am so jealous of the people of Orvieto who can eat such delicious carbonara. Now when I go to Korea, I won’t be able to eat pasta like this.😭 A precious place that is so delicious that I want to keep it to myself.. But it seems to be already famous among the locals!

Superlative carbonara.... But also the other well-made dishes, typical cuisine with "home" flavours. Worth trying if you go to Orvieto.

A little small place, but excellent food and prices

Definitely recommended. Excellent food, friendly staff and a very pleasant and peaceful environment.

I have never eaten such good carbonara!

was doubtful if this was truly the "best carbonara" in italy. boy was i wrong. the carbonara took up 200% of the plate, and every bite of it was good. usually my palate gets bored after a few bites of carbonara but miraculously that never happened with this plate! there was in my opinion only one bad thing: there was a LOT of carbonara. but im not protesting here. 10 euros for this much carbonara is the most worth it meal ive had in italy so far. would definitely come here again! we also ordered a meat platter to accompany the carbohydrate bomb that is the carbonara, and it was too very flavourful! for those saying that they were disappointed it was closed, i agree that 1.5h of opening time from 7pm-8:30pm is not very long, but please try to make the effort to come to this place for your meal within this tight time slot! service was not anything too special, but the owner was very friendly! the wines also good btw hands down the best carbonara ive had

Fantastic carbonara… it is the best we’ve had after a month in Italy… seriously!

Typical "free-range" trattoria..super abundant and delicious dishes..Friendly, courteous and friendly staff. I highly recommend it.
