“ I came with my group from Taiwan. This was the first time we experienced the hospitality from the locals. We order family style to share. The food is amzimg with beautiful view and the owner was so kind as warm with lovely unforgettable welcoming spirits. ”
“ We had dinner at this wonderful gem of a restaurant. The proprietor Veronica and her husband, the chef produced the perfect blend of care and detail to the food our group enjoyed on our final evening together. We asked that they choose the menu for us, asking to be surprised and they exceeded all of our expectations. Located slightly off the beaten track yet almost a stones throw away from the Basilica San Francesco and the Bosco Forest reserve - a very special place to dine, have that coffee or just unwind with a drink. Bookings recommended for the tables with the best views. Thanks Veronica and team. They take pride in the food they prepare and serve and bring that Italian passion into all that they do. We sure felt it was the best meal during our week in Assisi. ”
“ Fabulous. Food was excellent, ambience and view perfect and service was first class. Family restaurant and you can tell the care that they take. Can’t recommend this highly enough. Definitely once of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Italy. ”
“ Great coffee. Great pastries. Great view. And very accommodating to my terrible Italian. Grazie! ”
“ Very welcoming staff, excellent food and an unbeatable view. Menu clearly marked with allergens (even at the street), including some good vegan options (we had the cauliflower and the bean soup!). ”
“ We came here for lunch, right around the opening time and just missed the perfect spot with the view , but it was a wonderful experience even without it.. The terrace is great, lots of shade (it was a hot august day), service is quick and very welcoming (this must be a Tuscan thing as we've only had amazing, warm service everywhere we went ) The food was all really good,but I must mention the roasted potatoes (that my husband took as a side and the only objection we have is that a serving for one is not sufficient for 4 ) Grazie a tutti ”
“ This is such a great restaurant. Beautiful views in such a great city. The lasagna with rabbit was my favorite thing. It was so delicious. And who would have thought mint ice cream with roasted pineapple would have tasted so good together. Veronica was absolutely amazing. ”
“ If you’re looking for a gorgeous view paired with delicious food and wine, a great atmosphere, and fewer crowds in the evening, you’ll be very happy you chose this restaurant. The staff are really friendly too, which makes the whole experience a 10/10. ”
