Good food overall, but I have no words for what I experienced the Friday night I went. They allowed a middle aged Italian couple to bring their DOG who BARKED LOUDLY most of the time. When I first entered and heard the very loud bark from a restless Dalmatian just a few tables over from me, I was told the dog won't bark any further, and that these were friends of the owner or management. The restaurant is in a deep, windowless old room, which ECHOES and magnifies sounds. I had never in my life heard such a loud bark, nor such a high-pitched loud one. It went right through my very soul as I was trying to eat. What was so alarming was that the dog was not controllable or obedient. The owners had to have known their dog would NOT be quiet under such setting, yet they brought it anyway.

The couple did precious little to control the dog, thinking they were entitled to inflict this unprecedented annoyance on other customers in a well-known restaurant. They never even apologized when they left, which was not soon enough. They lingered while the dog was getting increasingly restless. I got the distinct impression these were LOCALS who couldn't care less about visitors.

I'll also add that the servers are not exactly kind either. The woman I had that night seemed to have had an attitude of unpleasant discontent. Because the place is in a basement type room, you will get no cell service. They have wifi, but the password did not work on my phone. The server woman was useless to help. She obviously didn't want to help me at all.

There are so many excellent restaurants in Assisi. There's no reason to go to this DOG POUND. Remember, these people were likely locals. They will be back on a regular basis. The chances of you meeting their EXTREMELY loud dog are not slim. You've been warned. And I'm a dog lover, but I am not an ENTITLED PEOPLE lover.

Loud resounding barks and dining do not mix. Owners, you should be ashamed if you continue to allow this. I've already told many people in Assisi about it. They were shocked. I will never return.
