Locanda Orvieto Ristorante Agriturismo — The Kitchen of Orvieto, from our family recipes
Before visiting the city, taste the history of Orvieto — the kind families have passed down for generations: traditional Umbrian cooking, classic dishes and locally sourced ingredients.
Locanda Orvieto is the traditional restaurant in Orvieto where Umbrian farmhouse tradition meets family cooking. Not just an agriturismo: a restaurant open to everyone, even if you're not staying overnight. Just 2 km from the historic centre, we bring to the table the true flavours of Orvietan cooking: from the celebrated Piccione all'Orvietana to handmade Umbricelli.
We are a family that tends the land and controls the entire supply chain: our ingredients are Km Zero, sourced directly from our farm. On our table we serve our own Orvieto Classico wine, the extra virgin olive oil from our olive trees and our fresh homemade pasta. This is traditional Umbrian cuisine — recipes you won't find in any book, because they are learnt by watching, breathing and loving this land.

Typical Restaurant in Orvieto
Authentic Umbrian Cooking from Our Farm
Locanda Orvieto was born with one clear goal: to preserve the flavours of true farmhouse cooking. We are a restaurant at our Orvieto agriturismo with a farming soul: we cultivate our land to bring to the table only what we truly know, from field to fork.
Just a few minutes from the historic hilltop centre, we offer a gastronomic experience immersed in nature, where quality is guaranteed by our short supply chain:
- Zero-Mile Ingredients: Vegetables, olives and fruit from our own production.
- Local Selection: Meats and cheeses chosen only from small producers in the Umbrian and Orvieto area.
- Authentic Tradition: Handmade pasta (Umbrichelli), traditional mains like Piccione all'Orvietana and artisan desserts.
Our typical Umbrian menu strictly follows the rhythm of the seasons. If you're looking for a great place to eat in Orvieto, away from the mass tourist circuits and surrounded by a warm family welcome, you're in the right place.
You know what? We still cook everything from scratch here.
It's incredible!

Frequently asked questions about Locanda Orvieto
Is the restaurant open to non-staying guests?
Yes, the restaurant is open to everyone — you don't need to book a room to come and eat. You can join us just for lunch, just for dinner, or stay a few days at our farmhouse: the kitchen is the same. Locanda Orvieto is first and foremost a restaurant — the farmhouse is an addition.
Is Locanda Orvieto a former convent or historic building?
No. Locanda Orvieto is a family farmhouse opened in 2019 by two brothers, Alessandro and Alessio. It's a modern rural property immersed in the Umbrian countryside — not a restored historic building. The story we bring to the table is that of Orvietan recipes and flavours passed down by the families of this land.
When is Locanda Orvieto open?
We're open Tuesday to Sunday, lunch and dinner. Closed on Monday. Hours: Tuesday–Friday 12:15–14:30 and 19:00–21:15; Saturday 12:00–14:30 and 19:00–21:30; Sunday 12:00–14:30 (lunch only). For holidays and special periods, always check the hours page or give us a call.
Do I need to book or can I just walk in?
Booking is strongly recommended. Seats are limited and some dishes — like Piccione all'Orvietana — require 6-7 hours of preparation that starts hours before service. Without a booking, you risk a full house or your dish being sold out. One minute of online booking saves you the disappointment.
How do I get to Locanda Orvieto?
We're at Strada della Stazione 23, Orvieto — 2 km from the historic centre, about 5 minutes by car. By car: take the A1 motorway exit for Orvieto, we're just minutes away. By train: get off at Orvieto station, we're reachable on foot or by taxi. Free parking on site for all guests.
Are the ingredients really km zero?
Yes — and we say it knowingly because the land is ours. 500 olive trees, 300 fruit trees, 10,000 sqm of vegetable gardens: we grow directly what we serve. On our table we serve our own Orvieto Classico wine, the extra virgin olive oil from our olive trees and our fresh homemade pasta. The meat comes from small local farmers we know personally. When an ingredient isn't in season, the dish isn't on the menu. It's not a limit — it's our guarantee that what you eat is real.
Do you have a pool, spa or wellness facilities?
No, we don't have a pool or spa. We're a farmhouse dedicated to authentic hospitality: a few comfortable rooms for those who want to stay in Orvieto in peace, and a restaurant open to everyone. Those looking for relaxation will find here silence, clean air, free parking and the peace of the Umbrian countryside just minutes from the historic centre — not wellness facilities.
Do you organise cooking classes or truffle-hunting experiences?
No, we don't organise cooking classes or guided truffle-hunting experiences. We're a restaurant and a farmhouse: our craft we put on the table, not in a workshop. If you're looking for an educational experience, we recommend specialised local providers. What we do well is cook for you.
What can I eat at Locanda Orvieto?
Traditional Umbrian cuisine, with the 5 signature dishes of Orvieto: Piccione all'Orvietana (slow-cooked pigeon, 6-7 hours, family recipe passed down for generations), Baffo all'Orvietana (pork cheek with sage and tomato), Agnello a Scottadito (grilled lamb), homemade Umbrichelli al Cinghiale (pasta with wild boar) and Tagliatelle al Tartufo Nero (with Umbrian black truffle). The menu follows the seasons — you'll never find an out-of-season dish, and that's no accident.
