The owner is wonderfully passionate about her restaurant, the waiting staff are first class and helpful with the menu and knowledgeable about the cuisine they serve. We have eaten there on a number of occasions and the food and service have always been of a high standard. The whole menu is worth sampling if you have time for repeated visits, authentic recipes and traditional dishes. I would totally recommend this restaurant as possibly the best in Cortona.

Had a nice light lunch here today. The bruschetta with tomatoes was well seasoned and very fresh. Also had a salad with shrimp that was very good with the shrimp being tender and well prepared. The service was attentive and help to novice Italian speakers. I’d go back again!

Dined here in the early evening this time. The restaurant is close enough to the main piazza to feel the buzz and atmosphere, yet it maintains an intimacy. The food was it's usual good quality, and the pasta dishes are a particular favourite here. Mara is a wonderful hostess, so friendly and welcoming, it is almost like coming home!

My family comes here often, friendly staff, fantastic food; I try something new each time I go and am never disappointed. I’d recommend any of their pasta, their pasta cinghiale is my fav, and for dessert you need to try their tiramisu. Long story short I did a little tiramisu tour the last time I was in Italia and tempero Made the best, hands down. Can’t recommend enough!

We ate an excellent meal outside on a warm early October evening and were fascinated to be told the long history of the Etruscan wells on the site. The Ribbolita was pronounced the best of the week, all the food was very good; and the welcome exceedly warm. Thoroughly recommended

We ate here on our first evening. Super convenient spot close to the main square. We ate as a group of 12 including two children. We felt totally welcome from the moment we walked in, the waiter was very happy to help with dishes appropriate for the children in the group and he was very happy to explain dishes to us - we ordered many of his recommendations and we not disappointed. Classic ‘Cucina Povera’ dishes. The Wild Boar pasta and tiramisu is not to be missed. Would definitely return. 10/10

Cortona is less interesting than for example Gubbio or Orvieto, and this reflects on the restaurants as well. But this place is really disappointing. Bland and lacking inspiration, using low quality ingredients, offering the worst pasta to date in this two week trip. Cheap prices but for as reason.

Fortunately, we happened to find this ristorante by chance on our very short visit to Cortona. None of us had been to the lovely town before, and our experience was a great one! We sat outside on the patio which was shaded and enjoyed a leisurely and delicious lunch. Our server, Michael, was excellent and very entertaining, and since we asked about getting a taxi back to the station, he offered to drive us after his work because apparently, Cortona doesn’t have normal taxi or bus service? We were so grateful and along the way, Michael was full of interesting facts about the area. Highly recommend this lovely ristorante!

Wonderful traditional Tuscan meal. The waiter Michel was very helpful and informative and guided us through a lovely menu. We shared an antipasti, prima course and secondi course and washed it all down with a bottle of Cortona red. Even found room for two lovely puddings. We are here for a week and will be back!!

Enjoyed our dinner here, had booked to sit in their outside area which looks lovely but they kindly changed us to inside as it had started to rain. We shared bruschetta, pork and mushrooms, char grilled mixed meats, fries and salad. Far too much. Beer and spritz the red wine. Staff were great and good delicious

We stumbled across this on our first day in Cortona. Tired after a long day of travelling, we just wanted to refill our cups with some food. Wow oh my goodness, we stumbled across a GEM. Not only were the staff absolutely amazing, welcoming and so fun. The food was unbelievable. My husband had the wild boar pasta (Pici al Cinghiale) and I had the gnocchi pasta with prawns and truffle (Gnocchetti Gamberi E Tartufi). I have never tasted anything like it before! Could not recommend this more. We’ll be in Cortona for a week and I know we’ll definitely be back here again. A MUST VISIT!

We felt like family the moment we walked in. We found this restaurant on the night we arrived and so glad that we did! The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. I just cannot say enough about this place! We’ve been to Michelin rated restaurants in the area and the service was awful, the food subpar. But here, like I said earlier, we felt like family and the food did not disappoint! Highly recommend!

We stayed with friends in the Cortona area and visited this restaurant at least 4 times during three weeks- the owner Mara greeted us each time and the chef Alessandro makes just amazing food! There are plenty of options for lighter fare, antipasti and Tuscan bean soup and main course salads, but also a great variety of primi and secundi that are just wonderful! The vin santo is marvelous for a dolce, as are the tiramisu, panna cotta, and zuppa englese (apologies for any misspelling.) I was so sad on our night of departure- but look forward to returning to this great restaurant next year! This is a fantastic place!

Ristorante Tempero is the best restaurant in Cortona! We stayed in Cortona for 9 days and ate at this restaurant often. The food is fresh and delicious. The serice is friendly and great. The ambience is wonderful whether you dine inside or outside. Restaurateur Mara Machado greeted us every time we entered the restaurant and gave us a big hug on our last night in Cortona. If you are fortunate to have Michele (Mike) for your waiter, you are in for a treat. Try the spaghetti puttanesca! Our favorite. Kathie & Bruce

Delicious dishes and excellent service! Great location and cozy atmosphere. I recommend it to everyone. We had the privilege of talking to the owner who gave us valuable tips for tours in the region as well as telling us more about the history of Cortona.
