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.

In the heart of one of Tuscany’s most spectacular villages, steps from the Synagogue, sits a small restaurant carved into the tufa stone, with intimate dining rooms and a truly well‑stocked wine cellar.
