85 euros for four first courses, a miserable appetizer and two desserts, it's really too much!
Really slow and uncoordinated service.
Linguine with artichokes overcooked and tasteless and also broken
Ravioli with ricotta and spinach covered in butter
Gluten-free bread brought to the table with a truly terrible flavor!
Dessert quite anonymous in flavor

I ate at Malandrino just today... actually I had been wanting to for a while but there had been no occasion. I was extremely satisfied. As a celiac I found a wide choice on the menu, from appetizers to dessert. A killer risotto...đĽ°â¤ď¸. We had lunch with an Australian friend who really appreciated the goodness of the dishes and the general atmosphere. Super kind service and customer care. In short... great Riccardo the extremely kind owner
Unfortunately my experience with this pastry shop was very disappointing. I booked gluten-free desserts for a dinner with friends, expecting fresh products or at least ready to serve. Instead, at the time of collection, they were delivered to me still completely frozen, without the owner notifying me of the need for preventive defrosting.
Then discovering that the desserts had been produced at the beginning of January and the beginning of February respectively (we are talking about weeks before the purchase) was even more disappointing. After over 3 1/2 hours at room temperature, they were still full of ice and impossible to eat.
If I had known in advance that these were old frozen products, I might have acted differently. Instead, I found myself having to justify the inconvenience to my guests. For a specialized pastry shop, I would have expected greater transparency and care for the customer. I don't think I'll be back.
Gluten Friendly Pasta can be made gluten-free
Steak is basically beef jerky ~ a bit hard
Mushroom đpasta is delicious
Wild boar stew pasta without vegetables
Italian coffee works normally~â¤ď¸
Overall recommended but with caveats.
Positive aspects: tasty cuisine, very available with preparation for celiacs, strategic and panoramic position, decent general quality especially of the fresh or marinated fish from the lake as well as the black truffle. For some courses the value for money is actually honest. Helpful staff.
Negative aspects: especially for the fish, fresh and good, the prices and portions are in any case restaurant-style and not the rustic trattoria it appears to be.
Eel, for example, generally costs almost double the price at which it is found and was found everywhere especially until a few years ago, not considering that it has always been a poor dish and is not such a prized fish.
Despite dividing several courses and taking the house wine, the 4 of us spent a good 40 euros each......but we also left full.
It's just that in general there is always in the air that typical mold of "post covid era" speculation whereby you pay more and eat less when most salaries have actually decreased. This elitist turn will only make everything more and more unjustifiably prohibitive.
I admire places where they try to reduce increases with marketing that focuses on prices, quantity and competitive quality rather than on these increases and reductions in portions. But since it is characteristic and typical as well as well known in the area and the location is excellent and the food is typical and good, I recommend it. Obviously there are also alternatives by the lake, less comfortable but more scenic.
Suffice it to say from the outset that it is not exactly a rustic family-run trattoria with low prices and generous portions, as it appears and perhaps will have been in the past... assuming that they exist anymore (except in certain areas).... on the other hand, the first to bleed dry is the Italian state and then pay for other people's wars....
And almost all places rely on customers. This restaurant is still less than many others.
I hope I have been correct and exhaustive, everything must simply be compared with my very personal expectations....
Went NYE, too slow the service, waited 1.5 hours and still no food ⌠no care for my husbands coeliac requirements. Even given it was New Yearâs Eve - very noisy.
We took 2 gluten-free pizzas to take away and were extremely satisfied, excellent value for money.
The owners are really good people.
We will definitely be back
Delicious dinner. Superlative starter âThe gardenâ. There are many gluten-free options also in the first courses and desserts. Excellent environment and service too.
We had a delightful dining experience at Il Cocco Ristorante. As a celiac, I was thrilled to discover there was a guide that detailed every dish served. This guide listed every ingredient in every dish and what allergens were in it. What a relief!
The service was excellent, the food piping hot and delicious, and the ambiance just what I like--calm with the pleasant hum of people talking quietly. We arrived at 7:00, when they opened, and the restaurant was packed within 15 minutes. So glad we arrived when we did. We would go back in a minute to this restaurant if we were staying longer in Orvieto. We highly recommend it to diners!
We stopped today intrigued by the location and the jazz music...
We had lunch on the outside tables given the beautiful day, even though the inside of the place was really very nice.
Vegetarian burger for me, very very good. Gluten-free "M'annava cosa" for my boyfriend, this too was really good and with flavor combinations that were new to us. Quality ingredients.
P.s I read some responses to the negative reviews and you made me dream đ
Environment discovered by chance, my wife eats gluten-free and the place was not far from where we were.
Everything excellent and courtesy at levels that are difficult to replicate.
We will return with joy.
Thank you
It is the ideal place for those who love to immerse themselves in nature and eat succulent and delicious foods according to the tradition of Umbrian cuisine. In the summer period it is possible to use the swimming pool. Among the positive things to point out that they offer gluten-free service.
truly an excellent restaurant, 4 of us were there on Tuesday 19th November, specifically searched for celiacs. Excellent food, the chef is really good, excellent service and maximum friendliness. The prices are worth what we ate. the starter and first course were enough to fill us up. Very welcoming and clean place. Definitely worth a visit if you are in those parts. We will be back!
Excellent place
Local food
Welcoming, polite, knowledgeable staff, very prompt in recommending dishes.
My wife, a celiac, ate very well without contamination from the kitchen.
Excellent gluten free (unique cuisine)
Highly recommended
We booked this farmhouse as a gift box option, also adding an extra night. Very beautiful place located on a hill, surrounded by greenery, vineyards and olive trees, with a zero km vegetable garden. There are various structures on the property used as rooms and apartments with a restaurant in the main building and a swimming pool overlooking the valley: an atmosphere of pure relaxation, waking up with only the sound of birds singing! Attentive hospitality, spacious and clean room, excellent cuisine with quality products and "natural" taste, so much so that after the first dinner which was part of the package we decided to stay the second evening too: mainly tasted meat, at km 1: cut and stewed wild boar, pork ribs and vegetables from their garden... all excellent!! Dinners by the fireplace accompanied by wine and grappa of various flavors!!! Top breakfast! Super-laden table, even with a corner for gluten intolerants, spectacular cherry jam they produce. Lastly, Andrea and Marco's hospitality and service were at the top! Thank you thank you
We came back here twice. Really amazing food. Gluten free options and really nice people!
First time: we just wanted to have a take away to the hotel (we are a group of 12 and kids were sleeping). The owner didnât have take-away dishes so he gave us regular dishes (!!!!) so we can take to the hotel and eat. The food was really really good! We had ravioli, pizza, Burata and deserts.
The day after we came back with our son who has celiac disease. The owner made gluten free food and really tasty one! Fresh gluten free ravioli!
The owner is really nice and the food is really tasty!
Excellent food and excellent bill too!
Gluten free. Courteous and helpful staff. Cozy environment. It's really worth the hour-long journey.
SUPER RECOMMENDED!
