Walked in for dinner, as the first ones to arrived, we secured a table for 2 hours. The waitresses are attentive and friendly. The head chef gently greeted us with a smile. The food here is purely sensational. They look beautiful and they taste just like how they look like. I had a special dish utilising the local wild herb which was picked by the chef earlier. What a treat! Feeling This was definitely the highlight of my trip in Umbria. Despite not much vegetarian options on the menu, they are very accommodating to vegetarians by replacing the dish without compromising the flavours.

One of the top food and wine experiences we had in Italy and in a beautiful setting in the main square of Montefalco. We will be returning again and again. I would recommend getting a reservation as this place is “the spot” for fine dining in the area. Excellent ingredients and recipes and a presentation that is world class. Very lovely indoors and out. They also curate a crazy great wine list featuring a lot of natural wines and excellently farmed classically styled producers. Just a perfect harmony here between quality, style, and great service.

We had lunch at this restaurant in Montefalco yesterday with my mum and my partner. We had a reservation for 2 PM and sat outside. The experience was truly positive: the staff was extremely kind and attentive, and the dishes were well-prepared and beautifully presented, with top-quality ingredients, many of which were locally sourced. We really appreciated the clarity of flavors, with no excessive salt, as so often happens, and the pairings were interesting and thoughtfully balanced. From the starter to dessert, we enjoyed every course — and I personally felt no heaviness afterwards, which is rare for me as I’m quite sensitive. The wine list is extensive and well-curated, with a nice selection from the region. The only downside was a noisy construction site nearby, but that was just bad luck. We were all very happy with the experience. Highly recommended!

Six stars. Perfect food and service in the perfect setting! A lot of care, thought, and dedication has gone into a delicious and beautifully presented menu featuring locally produced ingredients and wine. Fantastic and relaxed service, ask for help with the wine selection as they can explain all the local wines on offer to match your food. Definitely book in advance and site outside if it’s summer.

Before our trip I spent considerable time reading reviews and recommendations for restaurants along the way. Enoteca L'Alchimista was "the" restaurant in Montefalco, and I completely agree. Some of the best food we had on our trip. Great helpful staff with wine recommendations too! Try the Sagrantino, don't be afraid! It's excellent!
