Service was exception - great young guy who bought us tastings of the house olive oil & balsamic vinegar & Parmesan - coupled with a fantastic lasagna & pappardelle al ragu with rosemary oil. The quality of this meal was really good.

The restaurant is located near the Dome and it offers a selection of traditional dishes (some of them have been revisited). Tasty food with high quality ingredients and excellent wine matching. Good price/quality ratio and friendly staff. A couple of plus: free tasting of local...products and the possibility to buy directly fine tasting products and ingredients such as oil, wine, balsamic vinegar, honey, and sauces. Definitely worth the visit.More
A great place, offering brilliant cooking and proudly using their own wine and balsamicos. The service was perfect, supplementing the wine we chose for a warm day with perfect matches for the dishes on the house, the price for their top rosso per glas being...the price of a dish. If possible, we would eat there always. Do try the pappardelle al Ragù di Cinghiale, brilliantly prepared, or the duck breast. Leave the wine to the hosts. Also try their balsamico tasting.More
With great hope we stopped in Mauricio’s great locale, the attention was poor, but not as poor as it’s food! Nothing passed, nor the antipasto, instalará, zuppa, pasta o agniello! Didn’t want to even try to have dessert! Maurizio - I will not return!
Best meal I’ve had in Italy so far (since arriving from California 4 days prior) Delicious lunch with a sincere and accommodating staff. Very clean on the inside with the perfect ambiance music playing. The restaurant had me considering quitting my job so I wouldn’t...have to leave. I’ll do my best to make it back!More
We were lucky to find Ristorante Maurizio (near Hotel Duomo) as there are not many vegetarian/vegan options in Orvieto. We got there late, around 5:30 (they close at 6pm) and were kind enough to let us sit for dinner (we finished up at 6:30pm. Andrea...took great care of us, and made a vegan pasta dish for both my wife and daughter (they made pasta pomodoro). We had a fantastic Panzaella, Andrea brought out a Balsamic tasting (12yr, 24yr, and 63yr). We were the only ones in the restaurant and got the Royal Treatment. I had a fantastic Orvieto Classico wine with my duck. Everything was excellent! Highly recommend for vegetarians/vegans and carnivores alike!More
Not a nice experience. The pasta with guanciale, mushrooms and truffle was average. The roast lamb was awful, probably cooked 3 days before, hence why it was covered up with balsamic vinegar (a very poor quality one anyway), to mask the favours. Also they seated...us in a very cold area of the restaurant (not in the main dining room), with no heating on. It was freezing. I will not visit again. Probably the worst restaurant in Orvieto.More
Friendly restaurant close to the Duomo. Run by the Martinelli family, which produces their own wine, olive oil and balsamic, all of which we had at lunch. They provided us with a free tasting of various items, including some of their aged balsamic vinegars, including...one aged for over 60 years. The food was excellent and very fresh. They also have a small gift shop with the various Martinelli products available, including other food items. The proprietor and staff were great.More
Truffle pasta worth the visit. Child friendly.Generous service. Free tastings of aged balsamico. Partial view of il Duomo.
We sat down for lunch after passing by and reading the menu - and we’re so glad we chose to eat here! Our server (we think possibly the owner) was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious! Lots of vegetarian...options. We had the spaghetti ragù with a mixed salad and spaghetti with sun dried tomato, olives and capers, followed by coffee and semifreddo. Spaghetti was cooked to perfection and all had great flavours. We tried the white wine which was so nice we bought two bottles to take home! The view of the duomo was an added bonus. We were also served samples of their own olive oil and balsamic vinegar which was a lovely touch. We will be back for sure!More
We got married in Orvieto in June 2019. I wanted to arrange a welcome dinner for my 120 guests travelling from Ireland so I booked exclusive use of Ristorante Maurizio. I had never eaten in the restaurant prior to this and I arranged everything by...email. On the night we ate an appetizer full of local products, a first course of umbrichelle with truffle, mushrooms and crispy bacon, a leg of veal with cured sauce side dishes for our second dish , Tiramisu for dessert, and wine was served throughout the dinner. The restaurant helped us arrange an accordion duo to perform during the meal. Overall the food, atmosphere and service were amazing. Many of our guest’s revisited the restaurant throughout their stays. I will 100% be back. Thank you to Leonardo and team for creating the memorable night. Sergio & Danielle (Dublin Ireland)More
We had a large lunch with some friends. The food was all freshly prepared with local produce and could not be faulted. We tasted some aged balsamic vinegars and the 60 year old one was superb! The restaurant was clean and the service very good.
Perfect all the way !!! this is the place you need to go unbelievable food service and attitude.Andrea our server was incredible.
Service, food, wine and atmosphere; I would give them all 7 stars if I could. They were willing to answer all of my questions and take the time to educate me on wine, food, balsamics of the region. I hope to return!
We stopped for lunch at this restaurant as it was close to the Duomo and the Etruscan museum. The decor was elegant and people looked to be enjoying their food. We were found a table for two in one of their two rooms, this one...with a vaulted ceiling and great displays of their wine, olive oil, jams and bottled sauces which you can buy to take away. There were a few locals but the clientele was mainly tourists. We had a light lunch - panzanella for him and a tuna salad for me. He said the panzanella was one of the better ones he had had (but clearly not as good as mine - flatterer) but, whilst my salad had very fresh ingredients, it lacked imagination, being merely a sliced tomato, chopped iceberg lettuce, red onion, borlotti beans and tinned tuna - all of which I had to dress and toss myself. Not quite what I was expecting at what appeared to be a reasonably classy restaurant serving quite interesting looking pasta. However, the wine was delicious - their own production - and we were offered a complimentary glass of vin santo, a bottle of which we then bought to take away, as it was more like a fine sherry than most of the vin santo we have previously come across. We would return but I'll go for the pasta next time.More
