Frommer's Review

A series of brick-vaulted rooms descends under a medieval palazzo past an open kitchen from which emerge billows of steam and the slightly adventurous creations of the cooking staff: The capriolo frutti di bosco (goat served with wild berries) is just one example. Start with the light and delicious ravioli all'arancia e petali di rosa (cheese ravioli in cream sauce flavored with mandarin orange slices and rose petals) or agnolotti alla Norcina (a typical Umbrian dish of small meat ravioli under a sauce of cream, sausage, and black truffle). The arrosto misto is a particularly good grab bag of roast rabbit, guinea hen, lamb, and other meats, while the lombetto incrostato (encrusted filet of pork with a sauce of walnuts, mushrooms, and truffles) is a hearty yet refined option for hungry gourmands.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
