What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ristorante Pizzeria Il Menestrello offers a unique dining experience with its historic ambiance and a focus on traditional Umbrian cuisine, particularly its pizzas and truffle dishes. While many praise the value and charming setting, some reviews indicate inconsistencies in food quality and service.
"The food quality reflects the price. Don’t expect a 4 star meal (maybe for the pizza).
But DO EXPECT friendly, welcoming, accommodating, and English speaking staff. Shout out to the FOH and my Assisi born waiter, for being so enthusiastic and agreeable.
Definitely come here if you want a warm, family friendly environment with beautiful ambiance. There are different rooms on different levels in a cave style restaurant set along a historical street in old Asissi.
The ragu pasta wasn’t the best meal I’ve had (could be because I arrived later) but the meal was saved by the great house wine deal, so I left smiling and dancing home :)
If you’re looking for something late, affordable, cozy, and quick- this is for sure your place !
They have Wi-Fi.
Gluten free pasta is only penne."
Brittany (Britt Off The Beaten)
"Overall we had good experience, most of the dishes came very fast, but they didn’t come out in right order (starting foccacia came in the middle of eating main dish). Grilled octopus was great but arrived once others already fished their meal, it was worth to wait, but shouldn’t be like that. Rissoto had very fatty becon and kids didn’t want to eat it, even rissoto as such was good. Tagliata from chicken was the best dish on our table, foccacia also was good."
Adam Rogalski
"The pizza and tiramisu were nice but nothing extraordinary. I forgot to take a picture of the chicken but that was delicious. The place was busy as well because there were a lot of people eating. The staff were nice and they were kind enough to call us a taxi for our group. They also gave us takeaway boxes for our leftovers which was nice."

Il Menestrello is a restaurant and pizzeria in a suggestive atmosphere (you’ll be surrounded by Roman walls). A piece of advice: in addition to the pasta dishes with black truffles and pecorino cheese, here you should try the rack of lamb with herbs and the fillet of pork with honey and Cannara onions.
