Fodor's Review:

Almost a destination in itself, this former mill is one of the region's best restaurants. The sophisticated food showcases the bounty of Umbria. The types of olive oil used in the dishes and the names of the local farmers who grew the produce are noted on the menu. Appetizers are varied, and often highlight foods found only here, like the risina, a tiny white bean. Pasta sauces can vary from exquisitely rich to extremely delicate. The meat is first-rate, either elaborately prepared or grilled and topped with a signature sauce. The service is attentive, and the wine list has plenty of local and Italian options, including the pungent Sagrantino di Montefalco and fresh Orvieto whites. If you want something with a bit more depth, go for one of the Montepulciano wines, or even a Brunello di Montalcino, one of Italy's greatest reds. Outside seating lets you soak up the passing street scene; inside are a series of impressive 14th-century arches.
