Opposite the Duomo, with garden seating at the back, good service, good food and the best house red wine we had in Italy.

Whether you like sitting overlooking the Cathedral or you'd rather enjoy a little secret garden lunch, il Cortegiano is worth a stop.

Simply perfect for a hot Saturday lunch break!

Lovely food and lovely service. Helpful and generous in the extreme.

We liked the service, the excellent food, the affordable prices, and the house wine. We loved the location across from the Ducal Palace. Also, it is a cafe/bar so you can stop by any time of day. The panini and pastries looked delicious.

Furthermore, staff is very kind and efficient, and the place is magic, in the very centre of Urbino, in front of the Duke Palace and... More

We feel fortunate to have wondered upon this great restaurant. The staff was very kind, the food was excellent and the house wine was a wonderful sangiovese that was inexpensive (8 Euro/litre). There is a beautiful garden to sit in behind the restaurant that was perfect for service on a July night. Thanks for a great meal and great service... More
