We stumbled across this place a little by accident, we were walking towards the St Francis Cathedral that Assisi is so famous for, but I don't think we took what you would call the scenic route. We were hungry and they were still serving. We were seated outside on the lovely terrace. It was a warm day and we stayed... More

A bit off the beaten track, the Metastasio is an old favourite. Cosy indoors on cooler evenings, but with a pleasant balcony with stupendous views when the weather is warm. Varied menu, reasonable wine list, food well cooked and presented and very friendly service - what's not to like? We had a most enjoyable evening and will be going back.

The location is a bit out of the way but the view from the terrace is stunning. We had a fairly light lunch of pasta with wine. My spaghetti with flaked truffle was wonderful but my partner was disappointed by her ravioli or more particularly by the taste of the somewhat excessive tomato sauce that accompanied it. The wine was... More

Our last day on our trip we wanted to splurge a little for our last meal. After twelve days in Italy it is very difficult to say which meal is better than the meal before, but Metastasio was the best! The owner came to our table with suggestions and every dish was perfect. Although too cold to sit outside ,... More

Eating good food on the terrace of this restaurant in Assisi is what it is all about. You get away from the crowds and busyness and enjoy the view over the valley. Here is the place to recover when you have done the tourist bit.

So glad we chose this restaurant. The servers were friendly and welcoming - ours was fun and enjoyed explaining the dishes. The food was excellent - among the best we had in Italy. Finally I found a great gnocchi. The view from the patio was fantastic. Would highly recommend for the service and the quality of food. It is not... More

It's so worth finding your way to this restaurant. It's an easy stroll up into the higher neighborhood of Assisi, rather than at the base of the town! You will be rewarded with a beautiful view to enjoy along with the food. In early October, the weather was still mild enough for us to eat on the outdoor terrace that... More

this has to be one of the best restaurant views ever! we arrived early evening with friends, and although we had not booked we were offered a table outside with a view! watching the sun set over the Umbrian valley, whilst sampling some fantastic food and great, attentive, service, was one of the highlights of our trip to tuscany. we...

The reviews can't say enough good things about this place. I am so glad that my wife and I booked a reservation in advance for a table on the balcony for lunch in early October. The view was amazing as we dined under the umbrella over looking the tuscan countryside. I had the wild boar with pasta, my wife had... More
