What a find! Great restaurant, great service from Mary, and in the main square of Cortona. We spent a long time googling then stumbled across this gem. Traditional food at a good price.

I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of beef ragu pici. Amazing, if not the best one. My girlfriend loved her pasta as well. Worth to try their desert as well.

Perfect meal in the perfect setting. We were 100% satisfied by the friendly service, enjoying the tasty vegetarian platter for two whilst watching the people in the square walking by. Sadly our stay in Cortona was too short - we’d definitely have visited again and again. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

I like their friendly service. The meal is perfect. I have been eating very salty in Italy. Their kitchen is normal, perfect and not salty. I really enjoy alone. Their wild pork and grill veg were perfect for me. I asked waiter for me a glass of wine to drink with wild pork. He recommend me a nice glass of wine.
