"This is an excellent fine dining restaurant by all standards. The food is excellent. Chef Enea was very pleasant and his food was tasty. Tariq our waidter was pleasant as well."

"Beautiful restaurant - very well arranged and has big windows with an excellent view towards the old town. The food is very good, we did the tasting menu with wine pairing. The major downside was the service. Empty glasses were left on the table for a while so at one point we had 6 wine glasses, 4 of which were empty, that was a consistent theme of the night. Explanation about the dishes was somewhat lacking. The amuse-bouche while tasty seemed underwhelming."

"Elegant restaurant located in the best Hotel of Assisi. The personnel is very nice. The cuisine is regional, but creatively made."

Benedikto – Assisi - a
On the edge of Assisi's historic center, within the elegant setting of the Nun hotel, Benedikto offers some typical Umbrian products, but the culinary experience is primarily creative, thanks to the talented chef Enea Barbanera (his dessert of apricots, pine nuts, and rosemary is especially noteworthy). In good weather, dining on the terrace with a view of the Assisi fortress adds a touch of romance.

Benedikto replaced the popular Eat Out Osteria at the Nun Assisi hotel in July 2020. The new menu is just as exciting, featuring dishes such as duck breast served with red turnip sauce and salted codfish accompanied by green apple, lime and seaweed powder. The building in which you’ll find Benedikto was originally a monastery – the name is a clue to its 13th-century past.
