Trattoria la Grotta In Orvieto

We had a wonderful time. We ate there both for dinner and the next day for a quick lunch. The service was attentive and courteous. The traditional Umbrian first courses were tasty and well-prepared. The meat-based second courses were well-balanced. The ingredients were definitely top-quality. When we return to Orvieto, we'll definitely be eating here again!

Insanely delicious pasta, incredibly friendly service with helpful advice. The food is superb, made with local ingredients and delicious local wines. Highly recommended, and we're so glad we found this place; tucked away in a side street away from the main restaurants, it's a top-notch trattoria!

If you want to eat at unassuming place of the main paths, this is the place. Good service and food options, reasonable prices.

Excellent restaurant in the center, 100 meters from the cathedral. Modern and quiet environment with the possibility of eating outside. Kind and attentive service. Good choice of traditional and non-traditional dishes. Quality of food and raw materials and right portions, almost abundant. The desserts are also exquisite with a Zuppa Inglese absolutely to be recommended.

We had a truly lovely lunch at this restaurant and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Our group included nine people, with children, and we were seated right away — no waiting, no fuss. The service was fast, efficient, and above all, genuinely warm and friendly. Everyone made us feel welcome from the very first moment. The food was absolutely fantastic. The highlight for many of us was the local wild boar stew — rich, flavorful, and deeply comforting. You can really taste the regional character in this dish. The pasta with black truffle was also a standout — perfectly cooked and aromatic without being overpowering. And the sliced steak (tagliata) was tender, juicy, and beautifully served — a simple dish done exactly right. The restaurant itself is cozy and charming, with a pleasantly cool interior — something we all appreciated during a hot summer day. Another big plus: it’s just a short walk from the Duomo, which makes it a perfect stop after sightseeing. All in all, this is a wonderful, honest place with great food, lovely people, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We’re very glad we found it — and we’ll definitely come back next time we’re in town.

A very nice, rustic trattoria. Good, home-style cooking at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Excellent meal - rabbit & guineafowl. Wine also first class, along with the helpful and friendly service.

Everything excellent! And the prices even more!! Great gluten free options! The pistacho and guanciale homemade pasta very recommended!

Excellent food for an excellent price. I loved their service as well.

Loved this place last night. We shared the pasta with bacon and pistachios. So good. Going to try this when I get back home. Also shared the steak with rocket and tomatoes. Very tasty too. Service very friendly and I loved the decor
