Osteria Del Teatro In Cortona

I had seen this restaurant in a magazine introducing Italy and had wanted to go there someday. I left Florence at 11:00 and went to see Fra Angelico at the museum, so it would be before 2:00, so I just sent an email to make a reservation. The menu on the restaurant's website had some dishes that I couldn't imagine, but I ordered something that looked like it used a lot of vegetables. I was surprised by the appetizer that was brought out first. The rare beef marinated in a jar was so delicious! And the vegetables were arranged like flowers. The waitress ground a large rock salt, and the atmosphere was fun. Before I knew it, I heard the sound of celery being chewed from the seat behind me, and I turned around and laughed. The primo was ravioli with a bean sauce and black cabbage on top! All the flavors were mild and mixed together in my mouth to create a different taste. The only disappointment was that it was a little cold in the room to the right as soon as we entered, but the waitress was very fun and I was able to relax and dine in a famous restaurant, which was the best thing about it. I've been to Italy many times but I rarely have the chance to go to high-end restaurants, but after seeing the beautiful paintings in Cortona, I was really glad to come across such a delicious restaurant!

Chianina on tour Great food and wine experience

Emiliano the Chef and his wife are special people... Every time it is a pleasure for me and my family to enjoy their cuisine.

This restaurant is truly of a high standard. Truly exceptional quality/price

The place in Cortona to try some Tuscan food, Ilenia and Emiliano take care of you like family.

Birthday dinner, everything excellent. Refined dishes with quality and local raw materials, truly perfect service and an enviable wine list. Quiet, classy environment but without too many excesses. We will definitely be back.

Non posso dire tanto sul cibo perché non ho mangiato. Posso dire molto sulla gentilezza del personale e soprattutto della Signora che reputo la proprietaria. Ordino con il cameriere ma gia' avevo problemi di stomaco. Non riesco a mangiare e purtroppo devo lasciare il ristorante. La Signora mi fa' pagare solo il primo ordinato dalla mia compagna. Tornero' sicuramente per la carineria di tutto il personale. Grazie.

What a pleasant memory I have of this place. Excellent cuisine, recommended!

Lunch out of the ordinary with a rich menu of dishes that are not "cheesy" but very refined even if with local raw materials. Recommended for good food and something different....

E' un ambiente che mette completamente a proprio agio, piatti non scontati e carichi di gusto, personale attento ma mai invadente, sicuramente una location da proporre per un evento speciale!
