Really lovely restaurant nestled in the hills of Campo Sul Clitunno. Beautifully rustic interiors and immaculately laid out tables. My wife and I ate here on a very quite Thursday evening in September, and were the only ones there for the most part We were served by a charming older Italian gentleman who provided us with excellent service. For starters we had an antipasto selection which came in 3 stages, first was smoked goose or duck, (can't recall as there were many plates) this had an intensely smoked flavour and served simply over a bed of leaves, next we had cured lamb carved at the table, this was one of the finest pieces of cured meat I had ever tasted, such concentrate flavour in each bite as if the best roast lamb had been squeezed into each bite, finally there were 3 additional meats, which were not as flavoursome as the preceding ones, bit very tasty nonetheless. Next we shared the ricotta and pinenut ravioli, which was vary tasty, the waiter also provided us with a sample of some salami which he had just carved for the only other table who had just arrived, paired with the ravioli this really brought out the flavours. For mains we had the wild boar Ragu, this was very similar to a beef bourgnoine, and one of the most delicious Ragu I had tasted, each mouthful packed a punch of rich, slightly salty flavour and the occasional burst of juniper berries were a delightful addition. My wife had the fillet braised in local wine, obviously this was not a fillet, more of cheaper cut suitable for braising, which was what we expected, again the flavour was so intense with a mixture of sweetness from the wine and saltyness possibly from some anchovies, all of which was washed down with a glass of Montefalco, which was the best wine we had tasted since our arrival in Italy one week ago. The only let down was dessert, a local Umbrian cake which was a bit too eggy in texture for me and could have done with some additional texture, but tasted good nonetheless. All in all highly recommended, if you are in the area, definitively worth a visit, the best meal we have had in...
Read moreWe went there to celebrate my birthday. We had high expectations due to the high ranking, but it turns out to be a big disappointment. The food was okish. Some very good, i.e. my tagliatelle with white truffle. But some food was not tasty, my husband's pappardelle with wild boar was bland. We had much better pappadelle with much lower price. The worst part was the service. The waitress who served our table seemed like really hates her job. She's careless even sometimes a bit rude during the whole time. We saw the table next to us order the same white truffle dish, but their waiter serve with a nice pan and shredd the truffle in front of them. Whilst mine is just a dish of pasta, served without explanation or and show. On top of that, the waitress served us wrong dessert. After we told her, she took away the wrong dish and threw (literally) to us an icy cold zuppa englese. With this level of price, we do expect much better service (at least a smile on her face). Anyway, this will ne the first time and...

Five different starters ( omelet with truffle, eggplant with Parmesan, bruschetta with truffle, wild board carpaccio ), ravioli with mozzarella and tomato and pork filet in Sagranino sauce.
