Ristorante Poggiovalle Tenuta Italiana — Restaurant in Città della Pieve

Beautiful place immersed in the Umbrian landscape. Definitely off the beaten path. The quality of the produce is very good. Especially the cold cuts (salami, prosciutto) and the Chianina beef taste excellent. We also loved the primi piatti - especially the gnocchi were delicious. The first disappointment came when we were told that only one cut of meat was available for us (the other cut would have been way too much meat for 2, around 1.9 kg), and that they can't cook the meat to your order, but that the meat comes more or less rare and you have to cook it yourself. Unfortunately, the personnel seemed unable to cope with the number of guests - there was simply not enough staff in order to provide a decent service.

It was really not the fault of the personnel that suddenly flying ants appeared in droves. But I expect a restaurant at this level and in such a location, where this can happen, to react swiftly and to accommodate everyone inside. Instead, they only reacted when everyone started to flee inside. But for us, this was too late, we had already lost appetite and couldn't enjoy the...

An absolute gem! We were stopping by the area (on on way back from Fonterverde Spa) and wanted a local experience. Little did we know: most of the cheese we ordered was « 0 km » with fine taste, given a real twist to typical Italian cuisine. Suitable for vegetarians but more geared toward meat lovers. We really enjoyed our dinner and we will be back. Also looked great for all types of events, receptions, weddings, as the domain is able to accommodate a...

Upscale country dining - Umbria-style So yeah, the location isn’t exactly where the maps say - after the turnoff, you drive for another 5 or so minutes to get to this full-service agriturismo. But it is so worth it - excellent ingredients (from their own farm) make for excellent food (their own beef, cheese, and more), a great wine list, an utterly charming ambience, and just plain great service Way way way worth the trip - this is...
