Ristorante Grotte del Funaro Nuova Tourist

An excellent restaurant located in the medieval part of Orvieto. Immersed in old cellars and rock chambers of the southern slope. The impression at the entrance is electrifying and it only gets better from there. The menu includes extraordinary compositions based on simple, local specialties, but combined in a surprising way. That's why I decided to have pasta with fennel sauce and black cabbage chips. I have to admit that it was the best vegetarian restaurant dish I've ever eaten. On the menu it looked almost banal, but in taste it turned out to be refined and original. In addition, I ordered top quality beef slices with grilled vegetables which I also highly recommend. A beautiful, authentic experience.

Very delicious food, perfect for people who like truffle. I had no problems with this restaurant. The price is perfect, I ate a lot with my father and we only paid 90€. The service is good too.

Had our lunch here,superb tasting, vegetables soup is wholesome, the chicken dish was very well seasoned and the chocolate mousse was exceptionally tasty. Overall the waiters are good and accommodate to our request. Ambience is quite nice and historic.

Great food, INCREDIBLE atmosphere and wonderful staff! The steak and the cacio a Pepe were awesome!!

Another fortunate discovery for us in Orvieto. And very near to our hotel. We had gone to the same restaurant for three of our first four nights and last night decided to try something new. And are we glad we did! The restaurant has an enormous underground grotto where most people eat but we sat on the lovely patio, with a view of the countryside. From our first bite to our last, we were beyond thrilled to have discovered this place. For antipasti we had Panzanella and the Zucchini tartare. Both refreshing and flavourful ( everything tastes better in Italy!) then our pastas were nothing short of spectacular. Maltagliati with artichokes and Tagliatelle with lemon, lime, ginger and pink peppercorns. Again, beautifully served and delicious. We had an apple crumble and a coffee bavarois. A fitting finish to an incredible meal. And our server was lovely and very helpful. We loved it so much that we made reservations for dinner there again tonight!

It is ok, but not a place to come back. The reason we stopped for dinner here is you can watch the sunset from the wall a hundred feet away. The food (especially the spigola) is over salted, probably to mark the deficiencies of preparation, the pasta is so do, and the sauce (cinghiale) is over-salted too. People at the next table were quite happy, though. So it might be just a personal preference.

This is one of the best restaurants in the Umbria/Tuscany region. We eat there about once a month and have never been disappointed. It is in an ancient Etruscan grotto. You can even watch them make your homemade pasta. I highly recommend this great place.

Atmosphere is incredible, service very good, and food is great. Bread wasn’t the best, almost seemed dried out but maybe because it was at the end of the day, still ate it. Pizza, cheese, and dessert was delicious.
