San Lorenzo

€€Seafood, Traditional Cuisine

Situated within the Clitunno hotel, this well-managed family-run restaurant serves classic, seasonal meat and fish dishes, including generous portions of black truffles in some dishes. Recently refurbished, the intimate, elegant dining room also occasionally features live music at weekends, while the outdoor terrace on the small square offers pleasant alfresco dining. Guests are advised to park outside the ZTL (restricted traffic zone) and make their way on foot, via a short walk through the beautiful historic centre.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.3/5 · 80 reviews

San Lorenzo, located in central Spoleto and linked to Hotel Clitunno, holds a 4.3/5 rating. Guests frequently praise the stylish atmosphere, impeccable service, and high-quality traditional seafood dishes, such as fresh fish and homemade carpaccio. The outdoor terrace offers a pleasant dining experience. However, some reviews criticize the value for money, noting that portions or flavor intensity occasionally lack impact. A few diners found the interior environment overly sterile or excessively formal with too many tablecloths. While generally well-regarded for its professional staff and tasty food, mixed feedback on pacing and cost suggests it may not fully meet the high expectations set by its Michelin Guide inclusion for all visitors.

Suitable for travelers seeking refined traditional cuisine and an elegant setting, though those sensitive to value should manage expectations.

Apollinare in Spoleto offers contemporary Italian and Umbrian cuisine, generally praised for high food quality, elegant ambiance, and professional service. Truffle-based dishes are highlighted as exceptional. However, negative reviews cite issues with reservation cancellations, perceived rudeness or aloofness from staff, and inconsistent meal pacing. Specific criticisms include overly strong lavender flavors in desserts and microwaved bread. While the overall experience is often described as refined and visually appealing, inconsistencies in service attitude and attention to detail detract from the experience for some diners.

Suitable for diners seeking refined cuisine who can tolerate occasional service inconsistencies; confirm reservations in advance.
