Orvieto Food

Restaurants in Orvieto focus on Umbrian cooking, handmade pasta, local meats, truffles, pigeon, wild boar, pecorino, olive oil, and Orvieto wines. Most of the useful options are inside the historic center, especially around Corso Cavour, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza della Repubblica, and the streets near the cathedral.

The best choice depends on the meal. Some restaurants are better for traditional trattoria cooking, while others work better for a slower dinner, a garden setting, a wine-focused meal, or a table near the Duomo.

• Address: Piazza Sant'Angelo, 1A, 05018 Orvieto TR, Italy

I Sette Consoli is a Michelin-listed restaurant in central Orvieto with a small dining room and garden seating when weather allows. The kitchen is more refined than a standard trattoria, with seasonal dishes, careful plating, and a stronger focus on a full dinner experience.

• Address: Via della Pace, 26/36, 05018 Orvieto TR, Italy

Ristorante Il Labirinto di Adriano is connected to one of Orvieto’s underground sites, with dining rooms set above the town’s tuff caves and tunnels. The restaurant serves handmade pasta, artisan bread, local meats, and desserts tied to the family’s pastry background.
