This natty place has a cool 1920s atmosphere, jazz on the stereo and a long
wooden bar where Ingrid Bergman would have felt right at home. Cheery waiters bring
creative Umbrian food to the table, including such local delights as homemade
um-
brichelli
pasta (spaghetti's Umbrian sister) and wild boar stewed in black olive, cherry to-
mato and cocoa sauce.

What could be more romantic - well, at least in a
Snow White
fairy-tale kind of way -
than dining in a proper underground grotto? But this restaurant has more going for it than
novelty factor alone. Alfredo and Sandra make a cracking kitchen duo, preparing wood-
oven pizzas alongside Umbrian dishes like truffle-ricotta-filled ravioli and braised Chian-
ina beef.

This restaurant walks the culinary high wire in Orvi-
eto, with inventive, artfully presented dishes, from pasta so light it floats off the fork to
beautifully cooked guinea fowl stuffed with chestnuts. In good weather, try to get a seat in
the garden, with the
duomo
in view. Dress for dinner and reserve ahead.
