Taverna San Silvestro In Spello

La Taverna di San Silvestro is definitely the place to go for those who want to eat well, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere of one of Italy's most beautiful villages. Always ask what's on the menu—you might be surprised!

Given that I'm a lover of trattorias and the authenticity of the culinary tradition that in central Italy blends seamlessly with the historicity of its villages, I couldn't resist trying this restaurant, which has a good review and is in a spectacular location. We booked a day in advance just to secure a table for two and appreciate the setting, but upon our arrival, we were handed a small plastic table on the restaurant's terrace. Not exactly the best place to appreciate one of the restaurant's signature features. The service was barely adequate, and the staff were unhelpful, unfriendly, and at times almost annoyed by our presence. My expectations were dashed from the start. As for the food, my opinion is slightly on the positive side. The tagliatelle with wild boar ragù was good, and the Pajata (a Lazio tradition and a rare dish these days) was also decent. At the "let's pay the bill" stage, the wait was quite long. From the kitchen came shouts and vulgar insults, which didn't quite cap off my evening of cuisine and tradition. But you know, perhaps even insults are a part of tradition, certainly not of politeness. All in all, I hope this place can make significant progress, including in terms of staff, because the location and the village of Collepino are already a draw that draws this place. It's no coincidence that the restaurant was packed. Lastly, I paid, and left unsatisfied, but at least with a full stomach.

A small tavern in the center of a small village perched at 600 meters above sea level. Rustic and extremely delicious dishes, good value for money, in a cool, stone-built, medieval-style restaurant. I recommend the pappardelle with various types of meat. The antipasto is rustic and very good. The bread is fresh, and the torta al testo is also delicious. I don't recommend the house wine, as it's very vinegary.

A true trattoria. Excellent food, friendly and efficient staff, fair prices. I'm not sure what to recommend because everything we ate was exceptional.

Molto suggestivo mangiare in una piccola piazzetta del paese. Abbiamo preso due primi di cui uno con tartufo, so bene che non si mette il parmigiano sulla pasta col tartufo, ma volevo comunque provare e ho chiesto al cameriere un po' di formaggio grattugiato, ma sì è rifiutato di portarmelo. Non credo che si debba sindacare sulle scelte del cliente, anche se sembrano delle richieste astruse. Qualsiasi richiesta del cliente, anche se strana, deve sempre essere esaudita, anche perché è lui che paga. Buoni anche i secondi. Prezzi nella media.

My family and I had dinner at this trattoria in the little square a few nights ago. Delicious food!!!! I have never eaten such a good and tasty tagliata. My daughter's pappardelle with hare were plentiful and really tasty. The wild boar in salmì number 1. The house white wine was sweet and drinkable. Highly recommended trattoria.

Really very welcoming and well managed

It is the classic trattoria of small Umbrian villages. It is located in Collepino about 10 minutes from Spello. Ideal for those who love game and truffles. But also homemade pasta. Excellent quality/price ratio.

Very welcoming. Excellent service. Prices in line. Truly characteristic.

Great food and service. Quaint and quaint place in a lovely village.
