A menu that tells the story of Umbria
At Locanda Orvieto, every dish on the menu is born from a specific choice: working with local raw materials and respecting Umbrian farming traditions. Our fresh pasta — Umbrichelli and Tagliatelle — is handmade every day with selected flours. The meats come from the local supply chain: Chianina beef, lamb, wild boar piglet, and Piccione all'Orvietana. Vegetables come from our own garden and local producers.
The restaurant menu in Orvieto changes with the seasons and the availability of ingredients. You'll find the great classics of Orvieto cuisine — Porchetta Classica, Bruschette al Tartufo, Umbrichelli all'Amatriciana — alongside dishes that tell our family story since 2019.
