The Osteria Antica Bottega al Duomo is a really cozy place with a rustic interior and nice, warm lighting. Prices are a bit on the higher side (pasta dishes around €15–18), but the portions are fine. The Service was okay. The pasta dishes were very tasty, and the tiramisu was light and fluffy. I dislike that they didn’t allow one person to have a menu and one person taking a pasta plate (both or none) and can’t see the reason for that. Another downside: not very sustainable. They use disposable table covers and single-use packaging for cutlery and napkins, which feels a bit unnecessary for such a nice restaurant.

Our best meal in Italy! We loved the warm family service and the fresh meat and cheeses. With the bill they brought us this delicious sweet wine with biscuits, and the truffle pasta was delicious. They're so genuinely friendly and the best cooks. Will never forget this place!

We were in Orvieto on March 9th, and have since visited many other places. Now already in Thailand and I finally have sometime to sit down and comb through millions of pictures. This family-style restaurant is minutes away walking from the grand duomo. A must go! We strolled in around 3pm so it’s quiet. The woman who received us spoke flawless English and was filled with smile and good spirit. She recommended food and wine to us - everything turned out to be fantastically delicious. We ordered home-made red to go with our food. She also generously treated us with after meal wine (strong!) and another sweet wine to go with complimentary dessert (so good!). Check out the emptied glasses on our table A pleasant chat with the owner revealed the story: she had opened and operated an Italian restaurant in North Bergen New Jersey in the US for many years, before going back to hometown Orvieto for her daughter’s education. She and Lucy had a great ‘rendezvous’ about Jersey City over places they knew in common. This might explain all the free treats we were offered. When you are in Orvieto and near the Duomo, do pay a visit to this place - you won’t be disappointed, in any way.

Stop browsing - go here! One of the very best meals we’ve had in the whole of Italy. I had the wild boar sauce on pasta and it was divine. My partner had artichoke pasta in truffle oil and again it was amazing. Service fantastic atmosphere soft and warm. Well priced as well with decent size portions.

We had a wonderful meal at Antica Bottega al Duomo! Food was gorgeous and service was wonderful. We had the pappedelle wild boar and spaghetti fungi. For desert our wonderful hostess gave us almond biscotti with desert wine - fabulous. Our only regret was it was our last night in Orvieto and we could not return! Wonderful food, service and value for money! Highly recommended.
