瓦伦蒂娜客栈

Boasting the attractive ambience of a typical Italian trattoria, La Palomba has been run by the Cinti family since 1965 and is now in the hands of the third generation. The menu features Umbrian specialities including delicious home-made umbrichelli pasta served with various sauces.

In this simple restaurant boasting an attractive outdoor summer garden and splendid views of the Duomo, chef Anna Rita focuses on carefully selected ingredients from the region and beyond. Highlights include soft egg, pan-fried courgettes and spring onions, and pecorino crumble, as well as soft veal rump, Jerusalem artichoke sauce and home-made pickled vegetables. The wine and spirits selection is particularly appealing – as an example, the Orvieto Classico Superiore Doc “Vendemmia Tardiva” is the perfect pairing for your dessert.

A few kilometers from Orvieto, after a series of winding roads in the village of Morrano Nuovo, an old 1980s sign will guide you to the restaurant Da Gregorio. A stop here is a must: straightforward, local cuisine with homegrown vegetables and cured meats, and a wine list celebrating small winemakers and native grape varieties. The grilled pork with maple syrup is a must-try – a true surprise on the plate.
