Reviews Summary

Coro offers an extraordinary dining experience within a breathtaking 16th-century church, lauded for its innovative cuisine, passionate service, and unique atmosphere. While many rave about the gastronomic delights and wine pairings, a few diners noted that some dishes did not fully meet expectations in terms of taste, despite excellent presentation. The chocolate soufflé and specific main courses like pasta with chicken giblets and pork neck are frequently praised.

"A truly unique dining experience inside a 16th-century church. The atmosphere was stunning, and the staff were attentive and explained everything with care. The wine list is extensive, and the food was delicious — mainly Italian-inspired with pasta and meat, but with creative twists in every course. A memorable degustation menu in a remarkable setting. Thank you 🙏"

"Restaurant interior is magnificent. Concept is highly thoughtful. After 10 courses degustation we feel that some dishes are not as great as the others. One dish has special place in our hearts - chocolate soufflé! Definitely place has big potential."

Kasia Delekta

"My wife and I live close to Orvieto and decided to try Coro that opened quite recently. The restaurant is stunning, small church, excellent design, marvelous china. We decided to go for one of the menus combined with the wine pairing. Although I did not like the amuses much, the food was truly delicious and the combination with the wines was excellent and creative. The service was very friendly, welcoming and forthcoming. A true team effort. We arrived around 20.00 and left around midnight, which says it all. Very intimate and enjoyable dinner, can not wait to go back."

In Orvieto, there is a restaurant hidden in a deconsecrated sixteenth-century church

It's called Coro, and it's a name that hides several meanings. The first refers to the choir of the church that houses the restaurant, the second refers to the ensemble of voices that make up the project, the third combines the names of the two owners and managers: Francesco and Ronald, Perali and Bukri, someone may remember them from Osticcio in Montalcino, one in the dining room and the other in the kitchen. Closed with that project, the two continue a common path, this time in Orvieto, Perali's city.
