24/01/2025: The signature orso pasta, named after the store, is a tomato-based pasta that will not be liked or disliked. They also sell truffle pasta, so if it’s on the menu del giorno-tartufo (today’s menu), be sure to try it!
Steaks are also perfectly cooked! It's recommended. Even if you order wine by the glass, it comes out as orvieto superior :)
12/01/2025: On a cold and windy night in Orvieto, we came across a pleasant discovery: the Trattoria dell'Orso, a welcoming refuge where the warmth of hospitality and the authentic flavors of Umbrian tradition made the evening unforgettable.
Personal
The staff were friendly, kind and very welcoming, creating a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere for the whole experience.
Location
The environment is a bit retro and dated, but still very characteristic and in line with the charm of a traditional trattoria.
Dishes
• First courses:
The umbrichelli with wild boar and truffle and the fettuccine with mushrooms and truffle were excellent. The pasta was well cooked, the portions adequate and the sauce generous, also allowing the pleasure of the shoe. There is great attention to the quality of the ingredients.
• Second:
The duck breast in red wine reduction and caramelized onions was cooked to perfection. The texture of the duck was soft and well balanced by the seasoning.
• Side:
The potatoes were a real surprise: simply "spacey". We also recommend tasting the aromatic herbs (sage and rosemary), which add a "wow" touch to the dish.
• Sweets:
Here the experience was less exciting. Most of the desserts were finished, and the pistachio semifreddo turned out to be rather anonymous, a shame because dessert is important to end a meal well.
I count
We ordered 2 first courses, 1 second course, 1 side dish, 2 desserts and 3 glasses of wine, for a total of 80 euros. Although the price is fair for the quality of the dishes and the overall experience, if it had been 10 euros less, it would have been really great. Overall, slightly high.
Conclusion
Despite the unmemorable sweet ending and a somewhat high bill, Trattoria dell'Orso offers a culinary experience that we highly recommend. Thanks to the quality of the cuisine and the hospitality of the staff, it is an excellent choice for those seeking the authentic flavors of Umbria.
