I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Cortona della Arezzo

22/08/2025: We stumbled upon the restaurant by chance as we walked down from the Basilica of Santa Margherita. The tables with panoramic views and the exquisitely refined interior immediately won us over. The menu is varied and suitable for all palates, as is the selection of wines and beers. Although sophisticated, the portions are not lacking in size, leaving us fully satisfied at the end of the meal. Special mention goes to the duck pici, as well as the chocolate caprese cake (incredible!). The service was absolutely attentive, professional, yet friendly! If we were to return to Cortona, we would definitely book a table in advance so as not to miss out!

22/08/2025: A casual, welcoming, and delicious place. If you can, sit on the terrace with a panoramic view. Good wine, excellent food (we tried the egg with pecorino and truffle, the paccheri alla carbonara with cod, and the zucchini risotto with basil oil and burrata), and friendly staff. In the heart of Cortona, this bistro offers simple yet innovative dishes, expertly crafted with seasonal ingredients. From aperitif to dessert, the dishes are well-balanced in flavor and combinations, offering an excellent dinner at prices in line with average fare. Great work, keep up the good work!

15/06/2025: Un piccolo ristorante per una grande sorpresa. Tutto perfetto, il servizio professionale e attentissimo, piatti buonissimi e abbondanti. Prezzi onesti. Assolutamente da consigliare

25/05/2025: We actually came to this wonderful osteria thanks to a Google recommendation and can truly confirm it as a full 5⭐ in every respect. The food is delicious, the service friendly, attentive, and patient 😊. We felt very comfortable. Mille Grazie for this wonderful, all-round culinary experience 💝

11/09/2025: "Food that takes you on a journey." This evening we dined at this restaurant unlike any other in Cortona. Thanks to the cuisine of the talented Chef Paola, it's not just a restaurant, but a true artistic experience. The cuisine is an ode to creativity and innovation, light years away from monotony. The dishes are a journey of refined and surprising flavors. Every bite transports you to a different place, with bold and never banal pairings. The attention to detail is evident from appetizers to dessert, not to mention the surprising cocktails. The presence of fermented wines adds a lively and unexpected touch that further elevates the culinary offerings. The decor also reflects this philosophy: essential and impeccable, it never distracts from the real stars of the show: the dishes. Everything is designed to celebrate the food. In short, Chef Paola's cuisine is lively, vibrant, and extraordinarily original, engaging all the senses. If you're looking for a gastronomic experience that will excite you, this is the place!

07/09/2025: This place is incredible!!! Highly recommend! Delicious, flavorful, whole foods used in such creative and thoughtful ways. Warm and friendly service, and the restaurant itself is lovely with great views. Particular highlights were the tempeh teriyaki dish, the eggplant, the tortelli and the raw cheesecake (all pictured below). My husband who is not vegan loved everything equally!

25/08/2025: It was very crowded and they were a little slow, but the pizzas are very good and very reasonably priced. If you're on vacation and not in a hurry for dinner, this is a perfect spot in Cortona.

25/08/2025: A basic, yet welcoming and tidy place. The service was courteous, helpful, and fast. The pizza was very good, both in the dough and the ingredients and toppings; you could taste the quality of the ingredients used. My only complaint was the quantity of fries served; given the €5 price tag, I would have appreciated a slightly larger portion.

07/09/2025: Excellent quality food, very friendly and attentive wait staff, a quaint, clean restaurant in a good location. I highly recommend it.

05/09/2025: Very good service, especially lady who was very nice and helpful, and lunch was great, one of the best places!

19/08/2025: A typical Tuscan inn surrounded by lush greenery, featuring a splendid pool and all the comforts. The cuisine exceeds all expectations.

18/08/2025: Lovely place to get some relaxation! Great food and amazing staff

19/08/2025: Wonderful arrivals! We're sad to leave because my husband loved it. The service was excellent, and the staff was super friendly. Thank you, Niccolo! You're wonderful!

18/08/2025: Beautiful villa nestled in the countryside just minutes from Cortona. Peace and relaxation reign supreme here! The staff were extremely kind and attentive. We were also kindly upgraded to a junior suite, which was very elegant and spacious!

25/08/2025: What can I say? The best in terms of meat, quality, and variety, not just national ones. What's even more appreciable: it's run entirely by women. They're knowledgeable, friendly, and will help you choose the cuts and breeds you'd like to enjoy. The wine list is excellent, with a perfect balance of selection, quality, and prices. Highly recommended for everyone, with a glass-fronted view of Cortona, and even a dedicated outdoor area.

24/08/2025: The location is in an industrial area and therefore disadvantaged, but the owners have managed to make it an original and welcoming place. The large garden perfectly embodies the festive and social spirit. Friendly and welcoming service from true Tuscans, while maintaining professionalism and discretion. The food is sublime and truly worth the price. Local meats are beautifully presented, processed and preserved. Local oil and wine. Recommended often.

05/09/2025: We came for wine and olive oil tastings. Both were excellent. Don't miss this experience.

18/08/2025: Excellent Tuscan wines, skilled and very helpful service.

12/09/2025: My husband and I attended a wedding in Cortona and stayed at La Corte dei Papi in late August for a week. It was SPLENDID. The setting, our room and the view, lovely pool and grounds, delicious breakfast and absolutely the most polite and accommodating staff. Room service was so efficient and nice. I needed a hairdresser and they recommended a superb local person who came to my room and was an artist. David was particularly attentive. If I could live there, I'd move in tomorrow. It will be our only choice to stay when we visit Tuscany again.

17/08/2025: I cannot recommend a trip to Relais La Corte Dei Papi enough! The property is beautiful, serene, and idyllic for a Tuscan getaway. We had dinner on site all three nights of our stay, which was always incredible and it was so nice to not have to leave the property. Also during our stay my husband and I took a cooking class with one of their chefs which was so fun and one of the highlights of our trips. David and his entire staff are wonderful and were extremely helpful throughout our stay.

17/09/2025: We were invited to celebrate a baptism in late summer 2025, outdoors. The secluded location is ideal, offering parking and tranquility. Excellent food.

07/09/2025: Beautiful location, sparse and sometimes aloof service but fine (and in our case very good the first night)! Very children forward…great if that is what you are looking for. We traveled without kids and wanted some quiet and for our stay…pool was a zoo and very loud. Dinner was good, not great—but super nice to have it right onsite and in a nice setting.

05/09/2025: I was definitely unlucky. Really, because I can't explain how it could have happened. I dine alone; they seat me in the little square before entering the restaurant. The waiter is very kind and brings me water and bread. First complaint: the pepper mill was visibly dirty. They change it immediately. I order a knife-cut tartare, a fillet steak, and baked potatoes. The tartare isn't knife-cut tartare, but minced. The meat is delicious, but the texture is a shame. Then the drama. The first fillet that arrives is so small that I asked if it was the right portion. The waiter agrees and takes it back, along with the potatoes. I wait less than 10 minutes, and the second fillet arrives, along with the potatoes. Unfortunately, the meat was cold. Tender, flavorful, but cold. The only positive note is the potatoes: flavorful and piping hot. I'm attaching a photo of the second fillet.

28/08/2025: The filet of beef was chewy and rare and I ordered medium rare. One male staff was rude and it was not a good experience. Save your money and go somewhere else!

02/05/2025: Phenomenal gastronomical experience with awesome presentation and care.

03/02/2025: Un giovane chef capace, competente e super creativo,che elabora i piatti del menù puntando sul territorio e la stagionalitá dei prodotti,un grande pregio, la location é immersa nel verde si respira aria pulita mentre ci si lascia coinvolgere dalla voglia di gustare i piatti.... Tutti sorprendenti

02/09/2025: I understand that reading 5 stars for all the reviews seems unbelievable, but it's the truth. Liliana moved from Naples to Cortona and brought with her the Neapolitan hospitality and culinary expertise. Plus, top-quality ingredients. I've been coming here for years and will always return. My son and I will never stop coming back.

14/08/2025: We really enjoyed our meal, it were everything we could ask for. Charming place, amazing chef.

10/08/2025: We love eating pizza there. The owners are very friendly, the pizza is delicious, and the atmosphere is cheerful. Perfect. Thank you 🍕😋

09/03/2025: What can I say, everything was very good, perfect environment, delicious pizza!! always a pleasant confirmation!!!
