La piazzetta delle erbe

The BEST MEAL we had after spending 3 full days in Assisi!!! We got awful experiences in other places, and, like a miracle, during our last dinner we found this AWESOME restaurant!!!’ We didn’t have reservations, so we started walking around the door before 19:30h (that’s when they open for dinner). So glad they could accommodate us! If you are in Assisi, it’s better to be safe than sorry: Book your table, you will not regret it! I will keep wonderful memories from this dinner! Food is beyond words. Service is the friendliest you will find anywhere you go. TOP!!!! 🔝 💯

Recommended to us and we are glad that it was, an amazing visit that is not to be missed if you have the opportunity to visit Assisi, recommended to book as the beautiful restaurant is small and fills quickly. The food was excellent as was the service, asked for recommendations for wine and about the food and all questions were answered and the recommendations were perfect. A wonderful experience of fusion and traditional taste that should not be missed.

The sushi menu threw us all off at first as we were looking for a classic Italian restaurant, but they always have some amazing pasta specials. We also ordered the sushi & Asian fusion dishes and had a great meal. Very accommodating for a large party too.

Excellent food. We had the beef tartare and it was simply amazing (and I don’t eat raw meat). We also had 2 of their specialties and OMG how good they were.

An excellent restaurant in a great location. The menu has an interesting twist to include Japanese fusion. Really great food and lovely service. Thank you

The tartare, incredible, the octopus and shrimps marvelous, the dessert, memories of Istambul, great. Together with a beautiful restaurant and an always perfect vino Rosso Brunello di Montalcino 2018… highly recommended!!!

Defiantly should have 5 stars The phrase that sometimes applies to Naples or Rome has its comparison here, La piazzetta delle erbe , or die. Fortunately I ate here on my first night in Assisi , booked on the spot for my 2nd night, without hesitation if there was to be another day I would have returned. Passionate cooking, hearty traditional dishes with sauces to die for, alongside exceptional Japanese cuisine. I had one night traditional , next sushi. I can honestly say my 1000km+ bike ride was worth it just to eat here. I shall return for sure. Bravo 🙏🏼 PS . Excuse photos the food is too good to waste time taking photos

Had birthday dinner there. Great food and excellent service. Thank you so much!

Such a fun adventure when in quaint Assisi! I got the zucchini flowers and truffle gnocchi and they were both so tasty. It sounds fancy but it's really not too upscale. And cost for both of those plates plus frizzante acqua was $22. I'm from Portland and there's kind of a running joke that things served in mason jars or different vehicles than needed for food is ridiculous, or overdone. They do that here. But they really are just trying to be creative and you can tell the chefs really care and want to create a good experience for you. (Ps dark lighting so hard to get stellar photos of he food, but included)

We read a description of Piazzatta as a "hidden gem. " We had a bit of a struggle finding it as it is right next to a wine bar and the only signage we saw was for the wine bar. But we persisted and boy are we glad we did. We arrived on the early side for lunch so got a table on the sunny terrace. Food was amazing and the local wine Assisi Rosso was terrific. The menu was quite interesting as the items on the left were traditional and the items on the right were fusion. My wife and I shared a selection from both sides. Her fusion ravioli were like potstickers with an amazing sauce. My porcini risotto was perfectly done. The wait staff were prompt attentive and polite. We highly recommend having a meal here.

All menus are great and also can take away to the menus Pizza is the most delicious and others are great if I'm back to Assisi I'm back to this restaurant

I heard that this place was all the rave and it was even suggested that I dine here by a friend who grew up in Asissi. He said it was first rate and that the food was fantastic. My first impression in regards to the service was a little bit disappointing. I sat down alone (which based on Italian Heritage is a no no since-"You should never dine alone"!!) and I get it since I'm Italian!!!- But in this day in age, people do often travel alone for many reasons and we do still have to eat! Having said that 2 tables that sat down before me, got served first. They got water and drinks and I sat waiting for about 15-18 minutes before anyone came out to greet me. That sucked; but after that, all was fine. When a waiter was finally assigned to my table, (which was nicely placed across the narrow, cobblestone road from the restaurant)- with dim lighting coming from the moon, I was happy enough. The food came out fairly quickly, and the it was very good. I had the crispy artichoke, grilled octopus and Cacio e Pepe'. All were very delicious!! I think if I had another person with me, I may have been served faster, but then again, it is Italy.......and to take your time and enjoy is of the utmost importance. I am grateful for the experience and I would definitely recommend a visit here.

13 years ago we discovered this place on our honeymoon. We asked for a bottle of their house wine, which we brought home, and tonight we opened the bottle for our anniversary. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the wine stood the test of time and still had good fruit and structure.?Va Bene!!! Thank you for a wonderful memory!!!!

Great food and okay service. Quite difficult to get a table it seems. Guess we were lucky. Even though it's next to a road with a little traffic from time to time, I can recommend it for a quick lunch.

Wow, amazing food and good house wine. We loved the stuffed zucchini blossoms, the smoked black gnocci, and the lamb. We would have rated dinner as a five except the restaurant was warmer than a pizza oven and we were marinating in our own juices.

Decor is awesome; food is amazing; staff speaks fluent English. Off the beaten path just enough you have to look for it.. But definitely look for it.

We enjoyed this restaurant so much in our first try that we ate her twice on our visit to Assisi, once for lunch and the second time for dinner. Every dish we ordered was excellent and prepared with lots of care. The presentation of the food is lovely as well. When I asked about modifying one dish to make it vegetarian, the chef offered two options for modifying it - it was such a nice gesture to have these choices. The restaurant has a nice outdoor seating area as well. Make a reservation to ensure a spot at this restaurant!

Excellent food, service, presentation, a memorable experience! We were a group of 10 who showed up with no reservation for lunch. FIVE stars all the way!!!

Probably the best food to be had in Assisi if not Italy very small intimate restaurant with excellent staff, and a menu of local delights with fabulous taste. In the summer seated outside, with grand list of local wines to enjoy your meals. Probably worth booking as in the evening will be full. Starters from around 10€ mains around €15 wine from €16 - €35 Have eaten here many times 2012 - 2014 never been disappointed.

Very nice find in Assisi. Pasta was awesome and service great. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend Piazzetta Delle Erbe.

Beautiful outdoor seating area, handwritten menu, local wine by the glass. Really good spot thats not super touristy like the rest of Assisi. No pictures + handwritten menu = delicious. €20/pp for 2 courses. Go!

My husband and I went here for dinner on the recommendation of our host. We were a bit worried because the hand-written menu had no translations. However, our waiter spoke flawless English and explained how several of the items could be modified for my vegetarian husband. He ended up ordering tagliatelle pasta with mushrooms and blueberries which he said was out of this world delicious. I had a sort of ravioli that was more like little purses, about 2" high and wide, stuffed with ricotta cheese, topped with bacon, and gently set on a light sauce of sweet red peppers. I don't usually like peppers but this sauce was perfect with the pasta. A second waiter came early on to bring us a free treat-- a little square of pizza- like focaccia, topped with mortadella and accompanied by a fruit drink made with cucumbers, radishes and -we think- currants. So interesting. Our waiter then came by to ask about wine and I do know enough Italian to ask for wine by the glass instead of the bottle, and could he recommend a local white wine? He did and it was perfect- crisp and dry - a Grechetto Spoletino. We shared a salad with field greens, walnuts, strawberries and a balsamic vinegar drizzled on top. So good. This is a delightful find in a quiet area of Assisi, off the main streets and serving a mostly-Italian clientele. We sat at a table outdoors and we were just so happy to be there.

We saw the place packed until late when walking during the evening, which is always a good sign. The next day we stopped in for lunch but it was fully reserved. We asked for help finding another osteria that was recommendable and they graciously gave us a tip. Fortunately, as we were outside figuring out our way there, they said they could squeeze us in but our table was needed in two hours. So lucky for us --the place was amazing! Delicious local amuse, fabulous antipasto, primi, and desert (we didn't have a secondi but the ones going to other tables looked terrific). Everyone dining was having a good time (also a good sign) and the servers were super friendly and helpful. We loved it and would go back in a heartbeat.
