Any dinner recommendations in Montefalco?

I'll be in Montefalco for one night and am looking for any dinner recommendations. Thanks!

Years ago I spent a couple of nights in Montefalco and enjoyed a delicious meal at a tiny place, right across from the San Francesco Museum, on a quiet street just past the main square.

Here’s and excerpt from my trip report:

I decided to eat lunch at this tiny place that had been recommended by Cecilia (the hotel's receptionist)
It's called 'Ristoteca Mordecai', a quaint place with only 4 tables within.
The waiter recommended the spinach and cheese ravioli with a butter and sage sauce made freshly by his chef, Sara.
The ravioli were so delicious; I could have licked the plate but used a piece of bread to clean my plate instead.
I decided to order dessert. A chocolate almond cake served with pistachio gelato also very delicious!

If you have time, make sure you visit nearby Bevagna!

Enjoy your time in beautiful Umbria!

We were there in 2017 on the Village Italy tour. Several of us enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Castel Petroso. The food was great, but the service, not so much. Even by Italian standards, the service was very very slow. But the food was excellent.

L’Alchemista is amazing! We were there in May. Farm to table seasonal produce. For secondi I had the pigeon 4 ways and both of my traveling companions had the lamb. Both dishes were excellent. This was one of my top 3 meals in the 20 nights I spent in Italy this spring. Reservations in advance are a must.
