Orvieto’s favorite pasta is umbrichelli, simple flour-and-water spaghetti rolled out unevenly by hand and somewhat chewy—similar to the pici of southern Tuscany, but not as thick. To sample a glass (or buy a bottle) of Orvieto Classico (accompanied by a panino), drop by the Cantina Foresi, Piazza Duomo 2 (tel. 0763/341611). Ask to see the small, moldy cellar carved directly into the tufa. Bar Montanucci is a popular spot for snacks and drinks at Corso Cavour 23 (www.barmontanucci.com; tel. 0763/341262), with playful wooden sculptures, a large rear terrace, and a huge selection of chocolates, some house-made.
