Osteria del Mandorlo In Calvi dell'umbria

Welcoming location and excellent food, we will be back!

It's not the first time I've been back..... The food is excellent... light... And the Mandorlo specialties are excellent. In short, a real treat for the palate, then the licorice bitters are absolutely worth trying, the service is friendly and helpful... I'll be back by the end of the month to enjoy them again.... And again.... And again

We went to this restaurant in Calvi for Easter lunch for the first time and were very satisfied with the dishes and the service... so highly recommended!!!

I had lunch today with my husband and it was truly a wonderful experience!!! The owner, Simone, is very attentive to his customers and takes great care in explaining each dish thoroughly. The cuisine is truly high-quality, so big compliments go to his wife, Carlotta, who expertly prepares all the various recipes, often using artisanal products like strozzapreti and their entirely handmade desserts. The atmosphere is very relaxing and family-friendly. Now, our goal is to return soon to try other dishes!

A delightful discovery. Good selection of first and second courses, excellent off-menu options. We'll definitely be back. P.S. Excellent service.

A perfect lunch break during our autumn bike rides: a warm welcome, excellent food, a friendly atmosphere, all at a very reasonable price. We'll definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the magnificent terrace and its panoramic view!

Today, at the Osteria del Mandorlo, where you can rediscover the ancient flavors of Umbrian tradition, I enjoyed truly sublime strozzapreti with almonds, radicchio, and pancetta, with a perfect consistency, and chicken cacciatore, reminiscent of the cuisine once enjoyed in our grandmothers' homes. All accompanied by the courtesy and friendliness of the owner, Simone. Anna

We stumbled upon it by chance, but if we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely be back. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and helpful, not to mention the food! The homemade strozzapreti are fabulous! I had the ones with hare ragù and highly recommend them 😊

We stayed at the Osteria del Mandorlo for a short stay of one evening and one night. I can only say thank you to Carlotta and Simone because we really enjoyed our stay. They are extremely friendly and ready to accommodate any request. The rooms are cozy and simple, in line with the price we paid. For a double room with breakfast (both sweet and savory, which we were pleasantly surprised by) and a private bathroom, we paid 60 euros. The place is very charming, a true historic osteria with all the charms and niceties you'd expect to find in a very old building... frankly, reading the other reviews, we really don't understand how there could be any negative opinions. We found it both clean and well-kept, with a very rustic and warm atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The terrace is beautiful; it's a shame we couldn't use it given the unsuitable weather. Regarding the food, I think there's little to say... they are simply excellent, both in the preparation of the pasta, which is handmade almost daily by Carlotta, and in the preparation of the meats. We ate strozzapreti with figs and guanciale and a tagliata with lard and honey that was amazing!! And we thank Simone for recommending the bottled wine produced in Calvi... a delicious red called Succio that we recommend to everyone!! The best in the area... a big hug from Carlo and Vittoria!!

I slept and dined at the Osteria del Mandorlo for a trekking and art trip. The rooms are simple but comfortable and tidy, and the bathroom is spacious with a nice hot shower. The breakfast was good, and the dinner was exquisite, with a menu of unique and tasty dishes. I'll definitely be back!
