Osteria Del Teatro In Cortona

First of all, let me just say the wine list is incredible. There seems like 50 pages to their wine menu. So be prepared to spend a lot of time deciding what you're having for wine. Not a bad problem to have! The dinner options are also extensive. There are so many things to choose from. I am not a vegetarian or vegan but I do enjoy eating meals on occasion without meat. Osteria del Teatro has plenty of options without animal proteins. And I loved when I asked for meatless options, they were completely accommodating and were not at all surprised or offended that I wanted Italian food without meat. The service is excellent and filled with pride. Very patient. My particular server was helpful guiding me on the different types of wines and helping me translate the menu so I didn't have to bring out my phone. A highlight of my meal this night was the baked carmelized onions. Apparently they take 24 hours to prepare. They were immaculate.

I've been going to this restaurant for many years and it's never disappointed me. Unfortunately, due to its distance, I can't go as often as I'd like. Today we returned and had another wonderful meal. It's nice to be able to say, "Let's go to Cortona and eat at a good restaurant I know," because that rarely happens these days.

For me there is no better restaurant in the province of Arezzo

Nice restaurant, but the truffle fillet I ordered wasn't great. The meat wasn't tender and sinewless, as a fillet should be.

Lunch with 20 friends was absolutely perfect, both in terms of food and service, which was impeccable! Highly recommended!

The taste of Tuscan tradition in your dishes!

The dishes are delicious. The appetizers are exceptional, as are the main courses (the pigeon was really good). The wine list is extensive and not excessively marked up. The staff is very courteous and helpful. We were a group of friends with a newborn baby, and they were very kind to her too (they have a corner full of games suitable for all ages).

Nice atmosphere, very professional waiters, shame that the second courses are too expensive and the markup on the wine is decidedly excessive, even the local ones.

Nothing to add to what you read in the various reviews, everything perfect and delicious.

An excellent experience. The lunch was excellent. We had pici and tagliata, both modest portions but delicious. The dessert was truly an unexpected surprise; the presentation and explanation of the various types of chocolate were excellent. Attached is a photo of the plate with the chocolate varieties, ALL really good, from gianduja to dark chocolate. My compliments, we will definitely be back.
