I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Umbria

03/05/2026: My partner and I happened upon this place by chance a few weeks ago. The entrance to the restaurant is certainly unique, yet very authentic. The owner's welcome immediately gives you a sense of warmth and authenticity, and the rest of the staff is also incredibly kind. The quality and flavor of the food are beyond words; it simply has to be experienced! Thanks to Carlo (if I'm not mistaken, that's the owner's name) for this sensational experience!

02/05/2026: The food was good, average; I wasn't impressed, but I wasn't disappointed either. The prices were definitely high (the first course was around €17-18). The staff was very kind and helpful, which is probably its strength. Unfortunately, the rest was nothing special: the atmosphere was dark and neglected, the glasses were all sorts of different (I dined with a cocktail glass, also used for wine), and the house wine was definitely not to be ordered. I definitely won't be returning.

26/04/2026: Four of us dined at this restaurant on the evening of April 25, 2026, and it was a wonderful experience of flavors, aromas, courtesy, and familiarity. A 10 out of 10 goes to the entire dinner, from the platters to the first courses, the meat, and the side dishes, all enhanced by the friendliness of Claudio and his entire family. We didn't try the desserts just because we were full, but we promise to return with more friends and enjoy the dessert experience as well. The price was fair and honest.

24/04/2026: The food is excellent, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

07/01/2026: The space is spacious and clean. Despite the fire, there's absolutely no smell, which isn't a given. The service is exceptionally polite and fast. The meat is excellent. The platters are delicious. We were able to enjoy lunch with my furry friends, and we weren't the only ones. Despite this, I repeat, everything is very clean. Thank you.

04/01/2026: We had dinner at this lovely restaurant and had a great time. The pizzas were good and the meat was excellent. The staff was friendly, and despite the restaurant being busy, they were attentive and helpful. I recommend it to everyone!!

16/05/2026: Very well prepared food, fresh, innovate. Very personable & efficient owners/ managment.

03/05/2026: Great food and very friendly service!! The place is simple, but the food quality and atmosphere are outstanding. We had a pasta, pizza, tiramisu, wine and water and had to pay only €45,- I highly recommend to eat here!

31/05/2026: A very quiet place, the pizzas are excellent. Impeccable service. I recommend it.

29/05/2026: We went to Charlie tonight for the third time and it was just as amazing as we remembered it. The Risotto is a must have dish, every bite is a taste of heaven. Also had a fantastic pizza Diavola. When is Orvieto, be sure to stop here and enjoy great food, great servant great atmosphere! Reservations are recommended just to be sure you are able to get a table!

11/05/2026: Excellent service and food, welcoming atmosphere and very pleasant staff

11/05/2026: It feels like home, top pizza🔥🫶

11/05/2026: We've been customers for a while, always choosing Vecchio Granaio for dinner. The food is excellent and refined, from the cheeses to the meats, not to mention the homemade first courses made by the old-fashioned ladies. The commendable courtesy is a great added value.

10/05/2026: We had such a good time last night (we ate really good pizzas 😋😋) that we'll be back tonight for the no-pizza menu!!

23/05/2026: Extraordinary encounter with pizza 🍕 an experience to repeat.... excellent and recommended

21/05/2026: Excellent staff, very kind, excellent service. Yesterday we ate a focaccia, even if it wasn't cooked in a wood oven, it was excellent, ham, gorgonzola and cherry tomatoes. I recommend it.

06/05/2026: Entering Ristorante Montenero isn't simply sitting at a table; it's crossing the threshold of a temple dedicated to the senses, a refuge where cuisine becomes poetry and the land transforms into spirit. More than a restaurant, I would call Montenero a true Osteria del Cuore. It's one of those rare places, an absolute certainty in an often overly constructed gastronomic world. Here you won't find frills or distractions: everything is essential, direct, and honest, exactly as any place should be where the primary goal is one: to eat and drink WELL. It's a wonderful place made up of exceptional and special people. Incredible elements and synergies of flavor are the best you could wish for. All these elements are brought to life by the heart and soul of the incredible and incredibly talented Patron Chef Katia Trippanera. She possesses an absolute, top-notch technique that allows her to work the ingredients like very few others, resulting in dishes that are beyond unique and incredibly flavorful, but above all...simple. Her management is a tribute to patience and quality: here, service is entirely express, meaning every dish is created the moment you order it. The expertly crafted ingredients, beyond perfection, blend seamlessly with the highest-quality raw materials, used with incredible skill. The dishes intoxicate the palate and the senses...everything is a caress for the soul. The cooking of the ingredients is sublime. Here, cooking and drinking, rigorously traditional, are a true art, a journey through sight, smell, and taste, but above all through the feelings and emotions that the Chef, preparing unique dishes, evokes in those who enjoy them. There is no such thing as pre-cooked or frozen; every ingredient exudes freshness and respect for nature's cycle. The game is, without a doubt, spectacular. Katia handles ingredients like rabbit, pheasant, pigeon, duck, wild boar, and the legendary wood pigeon with timeless mastery, enhancing their gamey flavors with impeccable cooking that preserves their juiciness and character. The fresh pasta, strictly homemade, becomes the perfect canvas for incredible sauces, rich in history and flavor. And for those seeking the power of a pure cut, the steaks are of the finest quality, buttery and flavorful. The wine I choose, strictly red, is powerful and deep yet fresh, with aromas reminiscent of red fruit and a more than balanced alcohol content that blends harmoniously with the delicate flavors, enhancing their flavors both on entry and at the end of the mouth. But Montenero is not just food; it's a human experience. The kindness of the owners is that "something extra" that envelops the guest, transforming a meal into a gathering of friends. Since I moved to Amelia, this place has become my refuge: a safe haven for those who, like me, seek substance, the true essence of food, and the truth on the plate. Without a doubt, the best one could wish for, and it will always go far beyond the best possible expectations. That's why I'm grateful for what will be and what has already been. Every time I walk through the doors of the Montenero restaurant, I know I'll leave happy. Thank you so much, Katia, for every time you make me happy like a child. 🙏🏾 🫂 Chef Alex Tocchetti Pisapia 🙂 ​​🩵💙

05/05/2026: Yesterday we had the pleasure of lunch at Ristorante Montenero, a true gem in the Amelia countryside, which this year celebrates an extraordinary milestone: 100 years in business, since 1926. A family-run trattoria that has successfully reinvented itself in its hospitality without ever betraying its soul: that of authentic Umbrian tradition. Dishes that tell a story of authentic flavors and passion, such as the hearty and authentic handmade fettuccine with ragù, game, pan-fried chicken, stewed mutton, and coratella (a kind of lamb cutlet). All prepared with local produce and the highest-quality ingredients. But beyond the cuisine, what truly strikes you is the atmosphere: a warm, family-friendly environment where you immediately feel at home. One of those rare places that still retains the profound sense of time-honored hospitality. My sincere congratulations to the entire staff for preserving and passing on such an important tradition. And best wishes again on this splendid centenary! Highly recommended ❤️

13/05/2026: I had the pleasure of eating there. I had a great time. The dishes were high-quality, everything was delicious. Congratulations.

01/05/2026: Great selection of meats, and the quality is excellent. The Florentine steak is unforgettable. Definitely worth a visit to try the different cuts. The location isn't quite as good as the food, but the taste is what matters! The pizza is good, but a little thin for my personal taste.

10/05/2026: The grilled meat is excellent!!!

05/05/2026: We came here after a day at the Tulip Festival. I highly recommend making a reservation given the large crowd. Four adults and two children ate, and we ordered the house antipasto and a selection of cheeses, excellent with the jams paired with the various cheeses. Various pizzas, tagliata, and pasta all'aglione. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, the pizza dough very light and digestible, the tagliata was cooked to perfection, and especially the sauce for the sautéed vegetables, which in my opinion was perfectly balanced, like homemade. I didn't try the pasta all'aglione, but the aroma was truly inviting. Kudos also to the desserts; the Nutellamisu was delicious. Service was quick despite the crowds, and the staff were extremely friendly. I highly recommend it if you're in the area.

27/04/2026: Quiet place, the food is delicious and the service is top, I really recommend it

26/04/2026: One of the best restaurants of our trip to Tuscany/Umbria. We were staying close by and ended up returning 5-6 times! We tried everything on the menu and there was not a single bad dish. As highlighted in an earlier review, the menu is not entirely traditional - they offer pasta and pizza (both of which are very good - the locals were all ordering pizza) but also dishes like tuna tartar. Our favourites were the truffle burrata, the beer marinated pork shank, and the margherita pizza (the kids’ favourite!). But more than anything, what made the restaurant so special was how warm and welcoming the owners were, and how this was truly a neighbourhood restaurant where people from all around the town gathered to dine, celebrate and be with friends. If the owners are reading this, we want to say thank you for making us feel like part of your family!

16/12/2025: Congratulations, everything was excellent

24/10/2025: It's the fourth time I've been there and as far as quality and service are concerned, there's nothing to complain about, just that (at least for my pockets) I can't afford it... spending €103.00 for 4 pizzas, 2 beers, 2 desserts and 1 coffee makes me think that it has become a place suitable for people with higher incomes than mine💁‍♂️

09/05/2026: I went to this restaurant with a friend for lunch after hiking in the area. The restaurant is definitely in a strategic location, on the Flaminia road in Lugo, which connects the sea to Gubbio. A classic yet well-maintained location, with a large indoor dining room and several outdoor tables. Very friendly and helpful staff, fast service. The menu is mainly meat-based, with a diverse variety of options, and in the evening the restaurant also serves as a pizzeria. My travel companion and I were hungry, so we ordered a semi-complete menu, sharing only one appetizer between us. The flavors are very good, the ingredients are fresh, the portions are excellent, and all at a truly fair price. We were very satisfied and will definitely return if we are ever in the area again.

01/05/2026: An ideal place for those with hypertension, with almost entirely unsalted first courses. Some of the arrosticini are burnt, some are raw, a perfect mix.

06/05/2026: Qualified staff ready to meet your needs, excellent value for money, strong point is the very good meat and cooked with skill, excellent pizza and desserts too, I recommend it

05/05/2026: Best grilled meat and perfect pizza 🇮🇹🥩🍝🍕
