Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The setting was superb (inside and on the terrace, with a superb view and a fantastic weather). The staff were very helpful, especially Cédric who does a fantastic job in terms of quality and quantity while offering his communicative good humour in several languages. The...Chef, on the other hand, must have been having a "bad day": burnt croutons, overcooked and under-seasoned pasta, and a general lack of authenticity in the cuisine. A real pity because everything was in place for a fantastic moment. Cédric saved the evening ...More

The food was great, the prices amazing but the staff is the best. The male and female waiters were attentive and accommodating. The chef is vibrant, exciting and you want him to succeed. The manzo, beef, was tender and tasty and perfectly cooked. The veal...cheek was tender and the right sized portion with a potato puree underneath. The pasta with cinghiale was tender and not overdressed. You could taste the pork and the pasta was perfectly cooked. The view is breathtaking and the low music made for a wonderful evening. We are planning to return in a couple of days. You need to come here. You will love it for what Italy and Umbria have to offer. You want to be a part of this vibrancy. The chef is Napolitano with a big heart and a great mind for cooking. If you miss this place when you are here you will regret it. I promise.More

All of the seven persons in our group ordered main dishes and received a portion that would barely feed a child. The food itself was good, but not good enough to look at the food as an ‘experience’ and not merely sustenance. Yea the view...was good too..More

Great view with ok food. Dinner on the terrace with view of mountains backed by setting sun. Food was sadly underwhelming. Bean salad was undressed, under seasoned and under whelming. One steak was tender, one tough - both cold by the time they arrived. Service...is friendly but slow. Montefalco rose and red wine both very good. Fresh homemade biscotti were delicious.More

The staff were very friendly and the view and terrace are lovely. We were incredibly disappointed with the food though. We didn't think it was possible to get a bad meal in Italy, we were wrong. The panzanella was made up of iceberg lettuce and...not a tomato in sight! We waited a very long time for the mains. The vegetarian lasagna was bland, very small and so bad we didn't eat it. There are probably more authentic places to go!!More

Excellent view overlooking the plains of Spello - good friendly service - very simple setting but exactly what was needed - menu choicies on the small side for the lunch menu but we had the aubergine to share as a starter which was exceptional and...our main courses were just as good - very good wine selection - will be backMore

I was here 3-4 weeks ago with my family on a Sunday and the pasta was fantastic! The blonde waitress that served us was so warm, welcoming and professional. She went very out of her way for every request that we had and exceeded our...expectations. We will definitely be back next time we visit.More

Had lunch (pasta) with wine here for lunch. It was inexpensive and we sat on the terrace enjoying the views. Staff were friendly and the service was good. We would return.

We had a very enjoyable dinner here - delicious appetizers and pasta. Due to the weather, we ate inside - it's a pretty, cozy restaurant that was very enjoyable. After seeing the pictures of the patio in the daytime, I would love to go back...again for lunch or dinner when it's warmer outside. So glad we found this place!More

We had a wonderful lunch at Porta Venere when visiting friends in Spello. The fresh pasta was absolutely delicious, and every single one of us cleaned our plates. Lovely service and a great ambiance as well. We would come back!

If you want an outside table in the summer at the weekend you're best to make a booking. Set high on the hill it commands great views over the rolling Umbrian countryside. Meats and cheeses to share as a starter, along with the tastiest courgette...flan. Mains of porchetta style pork and veal cheek. Desserts of chocolate fondant, tiramisu and pannacotta with pear poached in red wine. Food is wonderful, service is great. We've been here for a number of years and it's consistently very good.More
