Preludio In Cortona

Today, Sunday, November 2nd, we organized a family lunch to celebrate my mother's birthday. We chose this location. A compliment to the staff, Marcella and Renzo. The dishes, in addition to being picturesque, excite the palate. Congratulations!!!

A Culinary Symphony in Cortona Located in picturesque Cortona, this enchanting restaurant transforms every meal into an extraordinary culinary experience. With a maximum capacity of 55, the intimate atmosphere makes every visit special, but during peak season, reserving a table can be a challenge. The experience begins with the warmth of fresh bread and a creamy pumpkin soup that delights the palate. Subsequent dishes, such as beef tenderloin with foie gras, beet tartare, and cheese flan, are gastronomic works of art that showcase the chef's creativity. Carefully paired wine selections further enhance the flavors, culminating with dessert and limoncello for the perfect finish. The heart of this restaurant is Marcella, the sole waitress, who manages every aspect of the experience with warmth and attention. Her passion for hospitality transforms a simple dinner into a memorable evening. If you are in Cortona, don't miss the opportunity to book at this restaurant. It's a culinary experience truly worth having.

perfect food, great presentation. Food is very upscale from anything around.

Excellent quality food, very friendly and attentive wait staff, a quaint, clean restaurant in a good location. I highly recommend it.

Very good service, especially lady who was very nice and helpful, and lunch was great, one of the best places!

Incredible meal, a great atmosphere and the fantastic wait staff make for a memorable experience. Strongly recommend this restaurant - they take really good care of you and the food is amazing!

I was looking for a special restaurant for an equally special occasion, and I couldn't have made a better choice. I called on short notice and they accommodated me in every way, from the choice of table (outside and extremely romantic) to the attention to detail, ensuring the evening was a perfect success! The menu was very interesting, with excellent, carefully prepared, and plentiful dishes. The service was always attentive and discreet, but I must give special thanks to Marcella, whose kindness ensured we lacked nothing and added a touch of joy to an already wonderful evening. Excellent value for money, I absolutely recommend it. We'll be back soon!

A very elegant restaurant, with attentive and polite staff. We tried the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms from the Cortona woods, which were very good and plentiful. For lunch, we tried La Pancetta del Preludio, the restaurant next door under the same management. It was more rustic, but the dishes were very good! We tried the roast beef with tuna sauce and the pici with Chianina ragù, both delicious.

The atmosphere is very elegant and welcoming, the staff is not only friendly but also very competent, the cuisine is absolutely meticulous, with quality products, impeccable presentation, and flavor/cooking/quantity that is absolutely 10/10! It's usually difficult to find all these characteristics with the same top quality. Here they succeeded.

The fresh porcini dishes were amazing! A must try if you are around Cortona! Service was also great with insightful recommendations.
