"The food was amazing, prices were very reasonable, and the service was welcoming. Felt like I was at home… but in Assisi."
"The food was excellent. I have never tasted better lamb in my life. The waiting staff was very attentive and professional making good recommendations and making us feel special thru the night. A very elegant option without breaking the bank. The wine selection was very large and there was plenty of space"
"Nice restaurant offering a high level service. Yet You're welcome even if in casual tourist mode. Expect adequate price anyway."
"We were steered to this location by the Michelin Guide during a visit to the Assisi Basilica. We arrived around noon and the restaurant was empty but welcoming. We were offered an English menu which was helpful in making selections. The waitstaff was attentive and kind. Try to use Italian if you can when communicating with the staff! Best gnocchi we have ever had, satisfying table wine, and you can’t miss the black truffle tagliatelle. I chose the home made cookies for dessert. Partner chose mascarpone mousse. Both were delicious and appropriately sized given our meals."
"The foods are good and beautifully served. We had dinner for 6 person. the staff are helpful explain each menu. You have to reserve becoz they are always fully booked Recommend for family"
"The food was best in assisi! The service was perfect and very nice! We had a black truffle pasta which was superb tasty and full of flavor and scent. The gnocchi was also great! We had to order wine and the dessert because it was so good But also the price is very reasonable! 완전 맛집 추천"
"We travel in a complex family circumstance which makes dining difficult. We stayed just a door down at a local B&B, which suggested we try BdSF. We entered at open and it wasn't busy at all. We were greeted promptly and tabled immediately. The waiters and staff were very formal, but kind. Once we received out food, I broke down in tears after the first bite. My dish was the Spaghetti with pork cheek and carmelized onions. It was nuanced and perfectly balanced, with pasta expertly cooked. The best Italian food I've had in my life, and I've enjoyed a great deal. If you are in Assisi, THIS is THE place to eat. We ate here twice, and both times it was most excellent. Thank you Giovanni, and crew for such an exceptional experience. I'd travel back to Italy, on planes and trains, just to come back again for a meal. 10/10, would pork cheek again."
"Stumbled onto this lovely place. Food is excellent. Service is excellent. Prices are extremely reasonable. My husband had lamb chops and I had a roast beef type steak dish. That was just excellent with salad. The dessert was fabulous. Highly recommend. Wonderful atmosphere."
