Essenza is housed within the Borghi dell'Eremo resort in a stunning setting surrounded by beautiful and tranquil natural landscapes. The spacious dining room, which is flooded with natural light thanks to the picture windows that look out at the Umbrian hills, provides the backdrop for a culinary experience that focuses on traditional cuisine.

In the centre of Orvieto, Coro is set in the captivating deconsecrated church of San Giuseppe. The modern, refined style provides the backdrop for chef Ronald Bukri’s cuisine, which weaves together memory, innovation, and global influences into dishes with a distinctly contemporary character.

You’ll begin in the rock room for the welcome, aperitif, and dish selection, then move to the refined service room, a masterful mix of diverse elements combined with open kitchens framed like paintings. Recently, a new à la carte selection method was introduced, allowing each diner to choose at least two dishes from the Departures and Arrivals sections (excluding Sweet Stops). Alternatively, you can opt for one

Just a few tables and spectacular views of Lake Corbara characterise this restaurant, which has been run by the same family since 1964.
