We've been to Cortona three times over the last eight years and each time we've dined here several times. Consistent quality and value. Typical Tuscan menu - simple tasty food made with fresh local produce and oils. Decent wine list including quality wines in half bottles. Friendly service, and they have no problem with sharing plates. Had very tasty noodle... More

We returned for lunch yesterday on the way to the (ridiculously expensive Val di Chiana Outlet Village): Woman had the cheese/spinach gnocchi with truffle sauce and a nice arugula salad. I had the Chiana beef ravioli with truffle sauce and an eggplant in light red sauce side. The house white wine at Euro 7 a liter was very impressive. Provecho!

We've had lunch in the courtyard here in summer and dinner indoors in cooler weather, and have found this to be among the best values in Cortona.

It is very much a local restaurant and you could tell that most of the clientel were regulars and they all made us feel welcome. Highly recommend La Grotta

Yummy and cozy. Delicious pork with onion marmalade and fabulous Tagliata. A charming local restaurant.

Very nice rustic food. Great pasta with truffle sauce. Lovely courtyard location. We went with our 9 month old son and they very kindly washed his bowl and spoon that we took with us. How nice is that? Wish more restaurants thought of this. We have eaten here many times over the years and it is always good.
