Pane e Vino

We stayed in Todi for two days on our way driving back up Italy. It's a great hill town in Umbria, and it's easy to see why it's been voted one of Italy's most livable places. While we were there, we found Pane e Vino, and liked it so much we ate there both nights. The food is inventive and well-cooked, using ingredients which are traditional in a mountain area like this, but each dish felt fresh and considered. The staff were helpful, and made excellent (and reasonably priced) recommendations for local wine, and the owner made us feel very welcome. He's a real character, and rattled through the menu in a mixture of Italian and English. I'd happily drive all the way back from the UK to Todi, just to have dinner there again.

Be open to suggestions and be very hungry! Our group of 7 enjoyed Pane e Vino a lot, such kind service, great food, seasonality, local specialties, one of the best restaurants we tried in Todi. The lune are perfect, highly recommended. Would love to come again!

very recommended. we were 6 persons for lunch, took several dishes and every dish was great, the persons were great and always with smile.

Excellent meal, found in the presidio slow food’s guide to Italian osterias, which never lets me down.

The wild boar was a bit dry but the sauce was well balanced and flavorful. The truffle pasta was a bit bland for my taste. I would go back to try different things.

It’s the first place after exiting the funicular from the parking lot. But that isn’t why it’s usually packed. It’s a local’s hangout and they rush in early. It specializes in seasonal dishes with agretti, wild asparagus or artichokes. Slow roasted. Try to sit on the ground floor if possible. You can sit outside but beware the smokers.

Wonderful people serving outstanding food. Creative dishes utilizing truffles in different ways.

Small family run Italian restaurant with extremely friendly service. Small menu but truly authentic and fantastic food for a reasonable price. Owner was very friendly and accommodating even though we didn’t speak Italian. Absolutely recommend.

A little tricky to find (it's set back from the road bit), the unimpressive entrance gives way to a pleasant vaulted room on two levels - the upper is more pleasant. Basically a wine bar with a good food menu and attentive staff, we have eaten well here many times and would recommend it.

Pane & Vino was recommended by our accommodation hosts and did not disappoint - it served us the best meal we've had yet in Italy! We started with the tomato, mushroom and chickpea soup, followed by wild boar, lamb and sauteed greens. The wine was local (you can buy discounted bottles to takeaway) and service friendly and hospitable. I think we'll be back tonight!
