Osteria Il Gallo nel Pozzo In Panicale

03/04/2026: I dined at this restaurant on Saturday, March 28, 2026. A magnificent experience. The restaurant is located in the charming building of The Nun, a complex featuring spa rooms and this restaurant, well-known in the area. The restaurant offers free indoor parking; if it's full, there's public parking just a few steps away. The welcome was professional; the young woman greeted us kindly and carefully stowed our hats in the cloakroom. The selection of dishes was made under the clear and precise guidance of the chef, who explained all the flavors to us. The evening continued in a calm and subdued atmosphere, with the chef present, who explained the characteristics of the dishes to us. The food was fantastic; out of the four courses, we chose two off-menu items. I still remember the flavor of the pumpkin and licorice risotto, a splendid combination that I hope will become a permanent feature on the menu. Everything was perfect, nothing to complain about. The portions were just right, not too large, not too small, with balanced ingredients. The location is elegant; they should keep the terrace open in the summer, however, I think it could improve on some details, the little things, which don't detract from the already wonderful experience. Prices are average for the first courses; the second courses are perhaps a little above average, but nothing excessive when compared to the restaurant's target market. Congratulations to the chef and the staff; I highly recommend it.
