Locanda del Podestà Restaurant

Truly an amazing restaurant. The atmosphere, the staff, and above all the food was out of this world. Their truffle specialities were one of a kind, the wine was impeccable, and the staff were all super friendly. Not your typical tourist restaurant by any means. I can't recommend this place enough!

Best meal I had in Italy! I stumbled across this restaurant while wandering the backstreets of Assisi one day in late April 2022. The waiter was friendly and the food was amazing! Edit: Three years later, in late-March 2025, I returned to this restaurant for lunch. It was as wonderful as I had remembered! Can't wait to return this autumn.

Great dinner at Locanda del Podestà! Favorites were the Strangozzi alla Norcina, lamb, and tagliata. Super friendly waiter! Thank you, we had a great meal!

We do not have lunch here even we think this is one of the best restaurant in Assisi . We did really intend n plan to have nice lunch here. But the reception of customers so bad that we have to look for another place. We come to church in Assisi, may be this is the test of our humble but eventually we fail the test. The restaurant almost empty w few tables. We wait at the door or restaurant entrance for 10 minutes n staff inside saw us but just keep looking at us n not telling us to wait or explain the system. The couple before us also waiting in line n we have to walk in to ask them are they seeing us or they think we just looking at the menu. When we ask them that waiting is what they want us to do . They ask us to wait another 15 minutes. We decide to go to another restaurant eventually. At least they should have the courtesy to tell us that they know we waiting. Anyway we lost the test today.

I started with the gnocchi with truffle and it's some of the best gnocchi I have ever had! Get the gnocchi! I then got the sliced steak with truffle and it was ok. I would highly recommend this place.

Not sure why this place is so highly rated. Pasta seemed like it was from the box and overcooked. The Pasta Alla Norcina was pretty sub-par: the sauce was scarce and not creamy, and the "sausage" really tasted like unseasoned ground beef. Every time someone I know has tried to make Norcina at home, it has turned out much better than this. On the plus side: beautiful setting, and nice location in the city, and friendly staff. Overall, the appetizers were better than the mains. One of the specials was good, as well as the Limoncello.

so quaint with such amazing food! very rustic and homey, an excellent meal with great service! great prices too!

Really nice place to have dinner! The spaggeti with wild boar and cream sauce was delicious.
