Osteria Eat Out

Top choice in Assisi


With its dreamy al fresco terrace and casually chic interiors, you might expect the glass-fronted restaurant of the five-star Nun Assisi hotel to be all style over substance. Not so. Polished service and an exciting wine list are well matched by chef Emanuele Mazzella's refined and creative take on seasonal Italian cuisine.

Beautifully presented dishes like tortelli stuffed with lamb, saffron and lemon are big on flavour and easy on the eye.
